I'm not really bothered by that statistic. Will McKenzie got them up for one fixture and fuck all good it did them.

Chelsea will probably sack their caretaker manager.


The guy I feel for is the one who has to keep re painting the Managers parking spot. I bet the Brush is never out of his hand.

1 down, 3 to go.

It would be nice to think that we'll do something about it ourselves though, by not shitting the bed at Burnley.

I think the Richard the Third Plantagenet look rather suites him.

Doesn’t the concussion protocol automatically rule him out?

Not sure if that applies to games in different competitions. UEFA doesn't seem to give much of a shit, don't think they even have concussion subs, the twats.

It has to be a medical decision, not based on which competition he is playing in next.

Can't see anything in the rules that prevents Forest from selecting him:

"Return to play or training

In the event of a head injury or suspected concussion during the season and/or UEFA competition, before the player is allowed to train or play the team doctor should inform UEFA in writing that the player:

has undergone a comprehensive, multimodal evaluation by a medical doctor;

has passed each of the steps set out in the Graduated Return to Play Protocol referred to in the UEFA Football Doctor Education Programme manual or equivalent tool and is fit for training/competition."

"Does Mr Marinakis say he's fit to play? If yes, proceed straight to game."

Credit where it's due, in all the circumstances this has been very good by Forest. At it from the very start they have been strong all over the pitch.

Their weakness is extravagant overhead kicks. Hope Emery is watching.

If you have a go at this Forest side they’re shaky at the back.

 The trouble is we never get near their back line.
