Famous last words…but I don’t think it’s going to be as crucial for us to win as I thought it would be.

Huw Edwards resigns from the Beeb on medical advice.

It does read like that. I’m not saying Atwell cheated. I’m saying it is a fair thing to not want him involved in the first place. It seems a reasonable request (whether Forest requested he not be involved in a reasonable manner before the game is anyone’s guess).

X% perspiration, Y% inspiration. Whether it’s the often quoted 90/10 split I don’t know. I do simply think Emery is both more dedicated to succeed and naturally more intelligent than 99% of other managers. The dedication enhances that intelligence. Added to that, I think not having a successful playing career (comparatively speaking to his management career) will help fuel that dedication. Making up for it, I guess.

Whether a Luton Town supporter would want a win, lose or draw for Forest, it would make sense not to have a supporter whose team is impacted by the result helping to officiate the game. That aspect of the criticism is valid, I feel.

Obviously Castore take a lot of the blame for producing it in the first place. But did the club simply not have another shirt available? When did they first realise the mistake? It’s all a bit shoddy.

So lucky

Ah Callum

It looked close

Menzies quitting the tories and remaining as an independent until the GE.

Highest points total achieved across a 38 game season. Another record he’s made his own.

That’s a valid point @VillaChris, I hadn’t thought about the preference of finishing 5th or 6th. And yes, I have considered Wagner may wish to avoid a repeat but that might simply mean a regular first XI playing at 75% rather than ten team changes. As you say, Wednesday could help matters by winning tomorrow.
