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.

They are shit away from home. It’s plausible they’ll lose or draw to Huddersfield who themselves will realise it’s about as must win as it can get. Annoyingly I really think it’s going to boil down to how seriously Norwich are going to take the final game. Wagner gonna to throw it again? Can a half enthusiastic Norwich side beat them?
