Arsenal under 10 mins away from losing to Forest, which would hand City the title.
T'would be a shame if City were to win it when not on the pitch (and for Arsenal to lose it while on the pitch), but I guess they won't care too much.
Could reset even more players at that point, no doubt, although curious just how understanding Haaland would be if he were given fewer minutes to extend his record-breaking season
<edit: ah, 'pparently there's 7 (S-E-V-E-N) minutes of injury time, so more time for Arsenal!

Exasperated, not angry.
naah, that's West Ham your thinking of. Forest need the win, Everton & Leicester can still get to 36. One minute to go.(Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, it'd all but guarantee safety for Forest)

Weeell...
I was thinking of Forest, but I got myself turned round with tenses and the "as it stands" of it all.
Anyway, done and done.

I've been reading about Brazilian Fernando Diniz, coach of Fluminese in Brazil, and his attempts to fashion a system/non-system of football as an antidote to the ruthlessly efficient and controlled systems of European football.
A video on his "weird" tactics and quite the most unusual article I've read on football below:

I was brought up going to Luton games. Before the plastic pitch. That ground needed tearing down and starting again in the 70s.
I saw them a few times in the top division. But I also saw them in Division 2 against George Best and Rodney Marsh (and Bobby Moore) who were all playing for Fulham.

Bloody hell.
I know "there was football before the Premier League" 'n' all that, but even though I know how dominant Utd were, I still forget just how dominant they were.
Only once in the first 20 years did they go more than one season without winning it, and they went and won three in a row once they did get it back!
Honestly thought Arsenal and Chelsea had won it a bit more than they did over that period.

I know this turns out to be an informercial at the end, but the stuff leading up to it is wonderful. It's one of the things footballers do that I'm guessing most people miss or don't even consider, but scanning the field so you know where everyone and everything is makes a huge difference

imposs1904 - new thread for 23/24?
Anyway, Arsenal v Forest - delayed 30m because of "problems at turnstiles", apparently.
