    Yep, I remember it dying quite the death when Richard Coyle (Jeff) left the show. It was clear he was the funniest character but until he left I didn’t realise just how much the show was reliant on him.

    At least he didn’t say something like “Congo…that’s where the make Um Bongo, yeah?” It’s gotta be a win of sorts, right?

    Steptoe and Son needs to be acknowledged too just for the impact it had. It’s not exactly the first sitcom, but in terms of the stuff produced in Britain, it’s kinda a Year Zero sitcom.

    And no one has said The Thick Of It and I think that’s possibly one of the best, certainly of the past 20 or so years. Edit - although Pete has referenced “the sweary Scotsman” up above I see so maybe it has kinda been covered.

    I always feel slightly weird about putting US sitcoms alongside those from the UK. I just like they’re a different animal and so comparison feels off, somehow. Anyway, I know it’s dreadful now, but the 7 or 8 years when The Simpsons was wonderful needs acknowledging.

    Unless I just have claret & blue specs welded to my face…he WAS alright when he was with us, wasn’t he? In terms of being a good character. I can’t recall anything where I’d think “Oh Terry, you prick…”.

    I suppose a good a place as anywhere. Some will have seen this before no doubt. Bearing in mind these guys talk about football all the time, them flailing about trying to come up with the correct answer makes me laugh however many times I watch it. And for those who aren’t familiar, yes they are using a Gary Neville elongated groan as a sort of time’s running out klaxon. NSFW

    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.

    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?
  24. Mark Albrighton
    We could. I don’t believe we will. I think what will likely happen is we’ll bounce around 3rd to 7th over the next few years, trophy here and there. I’m saying that almost flippantly but that would be fantastic. But yes, we could win it. If we can play the best team off the park, beat the second best team home and away…it wouldn’t be the most ridiculous thing to say that a team that can do that could ultimately win it.
