"Just like how turkey makes Christmas dinner, I think the best Christmas gift for the Nottingham Forest fans is a victory," Twain said before the away game against Fulham.
He infuriated Fulham with his nonchalant and self-assured attitude.
Simon Davies, the home team's midfielder, spoke freely, "We must make this arrogant man pay. Nottingham Forest won't win!"
The enraged Fulham team launched an offensive at home against Nottingham Forest. The result was that they "attacked beautifully and perished gloriously."
Although Nottingham Forest was no longer at its wits' end when up against the opponent's retreat to defense, Twain still liked it when the opponent pressed out. It gave the Forest team opportunities for sneak attacks. Fulham was successfully provoked and wanted to get rid the Forest team with home-field advantage and momentum. But they counted their chickens before they hatched.
