By the time the war of words between Tony Twain and Carl Spicer was over, the national team's games had ended. The players returned to their clubs in succession to prepare for the league tournament and cup competitions.
Nottingham Forest would take on Manchester City Sept. 15 in an away game. On Sept. 17, they returned to their home ground to play the Champions League game against the Scottish Premiership champion, Celtic.
The league game with Manchester City was attention-grabbing because of the two-year-plus feud between the two teams. Bendtner was Manchester City's main striker and an unassailable main force. He did very well in Manchester City. Although the team's results did not improve much, he personally benefited a lot from the transfer. The United Arab Emirates boss could fire managers but would not fire a striker who could score goals for no reason.
