Summary
In a show of unity rarely seen in the north east, David and Pete have joined forces against that southern softie, Marcus Speller. The three of them are here to look back on a controversial win for Nottingham Forest in the Europa League.
Elsewhere, we wonder if the new Donaldson-Cartlidge alliance would have done a better job managing Burnley than Scott Parker. Plus, we hear from Steve Bruce about the time Sir Alex Ferguson brawled with the Turkish police.
