Georginio celebrating Welbeck's goal:

Ha ha. I had exactly the same thought.

 

[Cordwainer]

I love watching that celebration..he’s got too much joy running through his body to know what to do with it

 

[severnside gull]

His enthusiasm and enjoyment is infectious. He must lift everyone around him. What a player! What a character!

I think I read somewhere Murray said in an interview that when the club were looking at him to buy, his data was off the scale, one of the highest rated players we have ever bought.

I think I posted on the original signing thread that this was probably a player whose data suggested he was a perfect fit and so I was happy to trust the stats boffins. Georgi is another big W for the data department. His name will be all over the backs of a few thousand shirts next season.

Which is probably why some Leeds fan radio host was lamenting his departure in the summer, saying he was his favourite player. Not for the skills (which he has), but for the joy.

I hate to sound like the dad in Diffrent Strokes but there really is a good life lesson to be learnt from him: be good at your job and people will like and respect you. But be good at your job AND a diamond of a person to have around the place and people will adore you. I mean, how could you not? The buzz that that man has put around the place is simply off the scale, to an extent that I cannot recall for decades.

Yep all true.

My boys wanted Georgi and Baleba’s shirts for Christmas - no coincidence there. Two brilliant players and wonderful characters who everyone loves. Just love watching them.

I watched Diffrnt strokes the other day for the first time since I was a kid. It was on one of the high channel numbers and I managed about 5 minutes before binning it off. It has not aged well.
Ever since I have been singing the theme tune in my head (please make it stop!).
But you're right. I'd much rather have a Georginio in the dressing room than, I don't know, a Trossard maybe.

What you talking about Willis?

100% the worst thing to happen today is that injury, it looks like a really bad one.

Hoping for the best but fearing we might be lucky to see him fit for the start of next season. That had bad ligament injury written all over it.

It was nasty. Strangelyni was looking right at him when he did it as the ball had gone. Properly rolled that ankle.

It was the trying to stand up and then back down crying that was the worry.

That said you can badly sprain you ankle and it swells up like a balloon and really hurts (I did it recently!), not sure they'll know until it settles down a bit. If it's a sprain it can be a few weeks.

Edit - ignore

Not the first time this season a Forest players has set out to injure one of our players.

Hmm? Awkward misstep.. no Forest player involved.

Remember Knocky at the 2016 playoff semi? Was carried off the pitch at Hillsborough looking as if he'd struggle to be fit for pre-season, then came back 72 hours later and played his best game of the season.
