If you're the guy who insists that Nuno is "dragging the club's name through the sh*t", I'd like you to explain who provides the sh*t. Is there a sh*t factory near where you live? Or perhaps Amazon does a sh*t delivery service. Is it human sh*t, or a lower quality sh*t like from dogs, bulls, horses or sheep? And how on earth does a great big club like Forest get dragged through this sh*t in the first place? Is there a sea of it?
I think what you've done is confuse "sh*t" with the media. I can understand this. Both smell alike, taste alike, and come from the same place. And to be frank, both are better ignored.
We did our best to ignore the shit media when we watched the game on Sky. Sadly, we had to wade through quite a bit of the "Battle of the Boardrooms" garbage and a few rather limp attempts to stoke a toxic atmosphere before we got to the match...
...which turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax. Yes it did. It was not the "feisty affair" we had been promised. It was not even a particularly hostile atmosphere, unless you think that a hostile atmosphere must include a drum, a megaphone, a vile banner and Sarr cheating all over the place.
To be honest, the match was quite scrappy. If the Forest scrappiness was caused by the off-field distractions, then Palearse must have suffered in the same way, because for great stretches of the match, both teams were guilty of sloppy mistakes.
Perhaps the real reason for the patchy performance was that this was only the teams' second league game and neither side was fully settled or prepared. We've watched a few matches over the last weeks and most of them were messy, disconnected affairs. The quality will improve as the season goes on.
This is how Forest's quality will improve...
☀ N'doye will get fitter, sharper, probably play on the left, and do several pieces of magic per game instead of just one.
☀ MGW will learn to shoot and cut out the flicks and tricks and little dog's dicks which were so costly.
☀ Sangare will give way to Douglas Luiz. (sorry)
☀ Aina will stop faffing about and start being consistently good.
☀ Woody will come and go and score some goals; Kalimuendo will scare the b'jeezus out of defences, as will Jesus; McAtee will strengthen and become a fine player; Hutchinson will calm down and supplement his energy with a bit more accuracy; Sels will reveal that he is one of the Seven Archangels and demand that we worship at his feet; and the rest of them should just carry on as they are.
Anyway, by the end of the match we were definitely on top, what with Igor's cracker and Hutchinson's near thing(s). The Forest kit was beautiful, Antony Taylor did some stupid things but no more than most referees would have done, and people went home and may have had jam for tea. All we need now to ensure a really promising future is for Nuno and Marky Marks to sort out whatever problems remain. Perhaps, if you're part of the sh*t we're being dragged through, you should leave them to it.

This was just rubbish from top to bottom. There was a lack of focus, and no wonder, considering the swarm of distractions that had invaded Forestworld over the past month or so...
☀ A pretty poor pre-season with limited resources.
☀ Uncertainty caused by the Palearse nonsense
☀ Uncertainty caused by the MGW-to-Spurs nonsense.
☀ Transfer plans delayed.
☀ No time to bed in new players.
☀ Confusion over tactical transition.
☀ Late flood of transfers.
☀ Nuno complaints leading to disruptive speculation.
☀ Nuno/Marinakis/Edu showdown speculation.
☀ Europa League excitement.
☀ MGW and Mister Anderson in England squad.
☀ Feverishly high expectations.
☀ Excitement over CHO's new contract.
☀ P.R. distractions, complacency, volatile form, lack of focus.
Too much going on = lack of focus = crap performance.

FAKE NEWS
There has been so much misreporting of this game, we felt it our duty to put the record straight...
This was not, as some would have it, a disappointing game. There were signs of quality all over the pitch, and the thrills and spills of this Premier League fixture were especially appreciated by the new influx of Australian fans who energised the forums with their rough-hewn wit.
The difference between Nuno's and Impostecoglou's approach was evident from the beginning of the match. If you could not see this, you were asking the wrong questions.
It has been confirmed that The Arse never actually scored three goals, none of which were any good. Forest were denied the opportunity to score an infinite number of goals by a partisan referee.
The excuse that "Forest always lose at The Arse" is a perfectly valid one. You can't change History like you change your underpants. There is really no point turning up at the Emirates. There are better things to do, such as getting cataracts.
The comment "If that was the players trying to impress the manager, I wouldn't like to see them going on strike" was never actually made, being just a rumour spread by a few disillusioned souls who have infiltrated the Forest fanbase.
The player who said he was impressed by the first Impostecoglu training session, Callum Hudson-Odoi, had a particularly good game. Opinions to the contrary are probably the product of drug-induced delusion.
Benighted people are blaming the Edu for the disruption at Forest. They should realise that the Edu does not exist, but is merely a pigment of their imagination, like ghosts or earwigs.
Luiz's non appearance was down to club prankster Yates who superglued the Brazilian's legs to the bench. Nothing more sinister than that.
It is inaccurate to say that the Forest fanbase is divided over Nuno's replacement by Impostecoglu. Healthy debate is a fine thing, but none of it is required at Forest.
That anyone expected Forest to do anything other than lose 3 - 0 to Arsenal is ridiculous. Comments such as "I can see us nicking this one" or "Arsenal won't know what to expect" or "New manager bounce - come on Ange!" were never ever made by anyone anywhere at any time.
The view that Impostecoglu made a mistake putting Morato at left back is palpably false. Nobody could have foreseen that Morato would fail to cope in a position that nobody ever suspected he was no good at.
It is not true to say that the seeds of this defeat were sown months ago when Elanga was sold, when Nuno didn't get the players he wanted early enough, when Nuno was lumbered with late signings of variable quality, when Nuno learned that his replacement was being actively sought, when turmoil robbed the team of its form, balance and cohesion. None of this is remotely true.
The Arse taunt "Are you Tottenham in disguise?" backfired on the Arse fans badly. It actually turned out to be a compliment, because Spurs are much improved since Impostecoglou left.
To suggest that Impostecoglou's post match interview was remarkably similar to the string of interviews he gave during Spurs' losing streak is simply a fabrication, most probably generated by AI.
There is absolutely no need to panic. Impostecoglou has the charisma and tactical acumen to return Forest to winning ways. What can possibly go wrong? If anything should go wrong, it will almost certainly be your fault.
