I have a soft spot for Forest - but also I really like and rate Nuno so I'm glad to see him do well.

It's a bit like Emery where I think he got a job at a difficult point at a club that he perhaps wasn't suited to (to Spurs fans credit I think there was less borderline racist abused than Emery got) - and then basically got written off by the press. So I'm really glad to see him - like Emery - go somewhere else that's perhaps a bit less pressure, a bit more open to him and his style and doing really well.

It's that really bad habit the English press have in relation to managers and players who go to the bigger Premier League clubs of seeing them not succeeding/getting fired there as a damning indictment of them generally. Although I think the perma-crisis at United is possibly starting to change that view

Wish they'd do that for managers who fail at other clubs
Moyes should never have worked again.

You leave Moyes alone!

Moyes is... Insert bad words here.


So.... AFC Richmond beat Man City in the FA Cup final.
This is a good thing.
As much as Crystal Palace aren't a real "core" premier league team of course. But that makes it better in a way.
