Premier League Match Thread: Burnley Vs Nottingham Forest, sponsored by the Book of Job

Not looking forward to it today to be honest. I just want to avoid the most embarrassing collapse in history, get the game over and get into another summer to consolidate and pick over this disaster of a season. Really hope they can figure it out and we can be vastly improved next season.
 
I think we need Colombo, Morse, Scully (not Mulder), Taggert, Colonel Mustard and Gentle Ben to chase down the leads, press the suspects, crunch the numbers and reveal the nefarious, wide-ranging and insidious plot to relegate Nottingham Forest.

Watergate? Shmortergate!
JFK? THIS is NOT ok!
Illuminati? Lets all party (when the truth is proven)
Journey to the Moon? Don't be a loon.

The real conspiracy is the PGMOL not giving penalties to relegate us...

The thing is, Atwell has always been conspicuously useless, and his continuation in the job and his promotion has always been a mystery. This is why I keep ribbing you about your ideas that this poor refereeing is a conspiracy. It is not; as per Occam's Razor, the simple explanation is that there is lots of poor refereeing and Forest have been unluckily on the rough end of it. The point that you made earlier in this thread, that PGMOL are in some way going to try to referee games differently so as to effect a 12- goal difference relegation, is bordering on the absurd.

Attwell is a perfect example of the Peter Principle, where employees are promoted based on success until they attain their "level of incompetence" and are no longer successful.

Maybe Ethan Hunt can take this impossible mission, and sneak his way into EPL headquarters, don a Richard Masters facemask after rendering him incapacitated, break his computers password and WikiLeaks the thousands of documents - they hold - headed:

"Operation Relegate Forest 2023/2024 maybe via a points deduction, but, definitely (maybe) through "referee" cheatings and not giving 'em penalties and things whilst doing loads of other things for their teams they're playing"

Only if Stuart "Benji" Attwell is available for tech support.
 
No way a team with that starting 11 & Judy should be still facing relegation on the last day of the season. He simply has to go as soon as the final whistle goes he can wave bye to the fans do the post match presser & thank everyone then he can take all his things & fuck off.
 
Should have played a back three with Danilo and MGW sitting in front or swap Yates for Danilo if you feel cautious.

Burnley have Muric in goal he is quite possibly the worst keeper to ever play in the PL

Far better than Trafford. Made a string of saves since he came back into the side. Totally different to the useless idiot we wasted a loan on.

Has mistakes in him but you have to force that.

He'll frustrate us
 
With Toffollo and Montiel starting, we could ship a few and get really nervy.

Can this team salvage something from this season by doing what's necessary to keep themselves up by avoiding defeat and not relying on goal difference?

I realise criticism triggers some keyboard warriors, but this season has been shocking, as have the manager/team.

Cant wait for a fresh start next season even though we have to sell MGW/Murillo. Huge challenge for the recruitment team, fingers crossed!
