Wake me up before Agogo

My lovely horse

Stuart Pearce on how to defeat West Ham: “Before the match my daughter said: ‘Beenie the horse wants to sit next to you by the drinks holder on the touchline’. It is difficult to tell a seven-year-old: ‘This is the Premiership, I’m known as Psycho and I’m a hard man’.“

Russel Slade says that “Forest will be hard to stop”. Alex at Trent End Talk has noticed it too. It doesn’t matter that the performances aren’t all there yet. We have momentum. People are scared of playing us. This is a very good thing.
