Forest have been abysmal most of the season. They did hammer Spurs fairly comfortably 3-0. If, and this is a big if, Tottenham get relegated, that is surely the most expensive relegation in history.

I wish Nuno's West Ham could just lie down and take the relegation, but no, they're on a great escape.

Forest put a spoke in the Man City wheel with a draw at the Etihad (a solid English name for a stadium) and what was possibly the goal of the season as Igor Jesus lays the ball off with a header and Morgan Gibbs White blindly backheels it home past a very poor Donnarumma.

I don't know what has happened at Spurs. They got rid of Ange, who is just a vacuum, appointed a seemingly good manager in Thomas Frank. Frank did not work out well, but it is not like managers are given the time generally. Wrexham have given Parkinson plenty of time and discarded the poorer results, and now are harvesting. Thing is, Parkinson is not a Championship manager, let alone an EPL manager.

The relegation fight is too tight to call, but I have to hope that Forest manage to stay up. At the end of the season, I expect an exodus of players. Anderson's surely moving to greener pastures, Gibbs White is under a long-term contract but has the relegation clause. Murillo is probably one of the top five defenders in the EPL, and signed a new contract in 2024. All are very hot property.

Oh my

Having been there a few times in the last few years Spurs are in a lot of trouble.

They have been abysmal. It's really ruining my weekends, I can feel my blood pressure rise watching them play. I really need to not give a shit.

There's talk of sacking the interim manager. Are we fucking serious lads. The players really need to wise up.

God knows Levy was trash, but he did include in all player contracts that wages would be halved in case of demotion. I don't know how that doesn't motivate these fools.

Wages, yes, transfer fees too. Sorry, man, we are both in football pain.
