SIMON FUCKING JORDAN, that's who! 

 

Great company you keep, lads. 

 

Here, I've got you a pair of these each like your mate's. 

 

They look remarkably like my reading glasses

Tbh the only reason I responded to you was you were the last post in the queue 🤣 Apologies if you thought it was an attack. ✌️☮️

 

Don't be so fucking soft, it was an attack and so was mine.

At first glance it looks like a tough one, but then you get into thinking about it a bit and it's really just between Slot or Howe. Slot's credentials being the title win and the fact that he managed it in season 1. Howe on the other hand has almost secured CL football and won a trophy.

 

Might have considered Nuno if they hadn't blown CL.

[OTF 8933]

It will be Slot.

[Craig 7750]

I'm convinced it'll be Salah & Slot. 

I think POTS is likely to be clear cut.

Manager is up for debate though. Whilst I think it will be Slot, I don't think it should be - he's basically ran with Klopp's team at a canter. Even if Forest don't get Champions League, Nuno has performed miracles - that team was nailed on for relegation and they're likely to just miss out on CL - reminds me of us when we finished 5th under Pardew. And then there's Eddie ... he's the bloke who's finally delivered silverware to NUFC and there's a real chance could finish as runners up. That's far more of an achievement than what Slot has achieved IMO.

The benefit is fewer attacks are stopped incorrectly. Even with the rule in place, you still see linesman occasionally raise their flag incorrectly or raise their flag at the end of the passage of play and be wrong. 

Unless your Jonjo Shelvey, in which case the linesman raises his flag, the defenders stop, Shelvey scores and VAR gives him the goal anyway

I think Nuno would have deserved it if they got CL. However, getting a team from 17th to 7th is still an amazing feat.

 

Slot will get it. Sarah will get it.

Plus he got a FA Cup Semi too.

But Agree Slot will get it.

Forest breached PSR. You can't be patting them on the back for being all the better for it.

Dear me, Holden needs a new keyboard / brain.

[The Fish 11483]

Slot and Salah will get it. 

 

Slot: He's won the league at the first attempt, with little fuss.

Salah: Most goals, most assists, won the league.

Dan Burn should be in the players list imo

I think Tonali should be as well. He’s been the big difference for me over last season.

Happy with him going under the radar tbh. 
 

Nobody is buying Dan burn off us, but some of the “big” clubs will come sniffing around Tonali eventually
