Carabao cup

[mattbianco1]

Any idea when your club is going to be punished for the sickening and cowardly attack on Billy Sharp and other players at your ground during a Mob incursion onto the pitch?

I was gutted that they didn't invade the pitch last night

I think the Europa league and Championship have happened before. Was it an East Anglian club ?

Wigan

 

[sheffieldred]

No I don't

 

[sheffieldred]

You can only celebrate a semi final win with a pitch invasion in England! Anything else is uncouth

 

[Aston max]

That's the 3rd time in about a year the scab players have been involved in a on pitch brawl, its about time the EFL/ FA took a look

Have they really spent massively? Certainly not as much as i expected them to have done by now.

Last season:
Bruno - £37m
Wood - £26m
Willock - £25m
Burn - £13m
Trippier - £12m

This season:
Pope - £10m
Targett - £15m
Botman - £32m
Isak - £62m

I'd say they've spent fairly wisely. Isak obviously the anomaly in all that list, costing a considerable amount more than the rest.

When you consider that Newcastle were already an established Premier League club (i.e. rich), it's easy to see how they can spend that money, even without the owners pumping it in.

Compare that with United. We spent ~£65m in our first PL season, then another £55m the season after. Newcastle have only spent in 2 seasons £112m more than we did in 2 seasons. More than half of that has gone on Isak alone.

Forest have spent £144m this season alone.

For me, Eddie Howe has spent very well. He's picked up players that he knew were experienced in the division; Trippier, Wood, Willock, Burn, Pope, Targett. Then added some flair players on top for bigger pricing - Bruno & Isak.

If they finish in the CLeague spots, we'll see them really flex their muscles though

and Forest have. spent plenty to get to the semi too

Newcastle are definitely in the ‘Lescott’ phase of their mega-millions domination, like Man City,
it was a bit early for them to start throwing hundreds of millions around for Neymar and the like, but they’ve been able to sign players (and Howe has done an excellent job) to take them to that next step.

It was a bit “illegal” too, as they have to comply with FFP, which were brought in to stop clubs from doing what Chelsea and Man City did. Dan Ashworth was interviewed before the game last night and he made the point that they have to comply with FFP and can’t just throw money at it.

Fookin' 'ell - did Botman really cost £32m? Saw him on TV against Wendy, and he played like Neil Collins' crapper brother.....

Forest have spent plenty to get in the top 8. They haven't and they won't.

To get to the Semi's they have beaten Grimsby, Tottenham (2nd string), Blackburn and Wolves. Hardly bought their way there with that run

They would doubtless get away with it.

If they ritually disembowelled the entire opposition team & staff and then crucified, then burnt alive all the officials on the half way line they would probably receive just a strongly worded warning from the EFL.

Wigan

And Birmingham

Millwall I think.
