1.75 Chelsea! Must be the certainty of the year!!

Villa have shown their hand yesterday, so why would Forest make any effort today?? They can clearly afford it points-wise.. imo.

Struggling to agree with that Emit. Forest are not safe yet and can ill afford to take risks so the question should be, what is their priority?

Of course, another European trophy would be nice, but survival is also key.

I feel they will just play both games as they normally would and try to win them both, or at least get a positive result out of them both. I would be shocked if they were as weak as Villa.

Financially, it means more staying in the Premier League, even if they won the Europa League and got Champions League next season.
Report Emitdeb May 4, 2026 1:02 PM BST
WH need 4 points to trouble Forest, not sure where those are coming from.. Marinakis forest owner is crazy enough to know in all probability 100% effort today means 0 points and zero chance @ Villa..

I'm betting, come 2pm Chelsea's price plummets.. Cool

10 points between 6th and 16th as it stands.

A points total in the low 60s (maybe even lower) gets you a Champions League place.

What a sea of mediocrity the EPL has been this season.

Report Susquehanna May 4, 2026 4:42 PM BST
These American owners haven't got a clue what they're doing.

They're signing players up on 10 year contracts, allowing players to feel very comfortable, there's a reason why clubs only usually offer 3-4 years at a time, it keeps players on their toes.

They also have practices that allow medical staff to not ask, but tell the actual manager when he has to bring a player off, as they did with Maresca when he played Palmer, then the crowd not knowing this would yell "you don't know what you're doing",  could you imagine someone telling Ferguson when he had to bring a player off!

They also caused massive disharmony amongst the players by banning Fernandez for 2 games, talk about cutting your nose to spite your face, they could have got away with saying he'll just miss the Port Vale match which he probably wouldn't have played anyway, but to actually ban him for the City game when they were chasing a Champions League spot and the money at stake that goes with it! And yet they let Cucurella off scott free after he basically said the owners didn't know what they were doing.

Boehly sat at some conference and said they wanted Cucurella because City wanted him, 'that must mean he's good' he said Laugh

Spent billions of pounds but are below Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton.

Because Sporting directors are choosing the players and decided who to sell, no self respecting manager of calibre will go there.

They want yes men, that's why they got rid of Tuchel, and why they brought in meek managers like Potter and Rosenior  who were willing to manage up, Maresca was at first but after his success, he outgrew the terms and conditions of his contract and wasn't willing to be dictated to anymore so they got rid.
