Nuno is surely a lock for Manager of the season if Forest get a UCL spot, as much as Slot has done well at Liverpool, but to turn a lower mid table team into what they’ve done so far is a rare joy in the top division. A lot of their players have one thing in common, touted as future big stars, linked to big clubs and then forgotten about, goes to show give them confidence and love and they blossom!

12:41 Not sure a team can be considered an underdog when they've spent over 400m in three seasons... Anyway none of us in Derby are hoping Forest succeed this season.

As an Everton fan, I find it particularly hard to enjoy anything about football at the moment! The perennial battle against relegation has sucked all joy out of the beautiful game for me. I genuinely don’t care who wins the title or where anyone else is in the league - as long as there are at least three teams below us come the end of the season!

Matheus Cunha's offer to pay for new glasses for a member of Ipswich's security helped save him from a longer ban and heavier fine.
The Wolves striker was suspended for two games and an £80,000 fine after clashing with a member of the Tractor Boys' security team last month.
He had been charged by the Football Association with misconduct following the altercation - where he snatched the glasses off the face of the security guard - on the pitch at the final whistle of Wolves' 2-1 defeat at Molineux.
An regulatory commission initially considered hitting the 25-year-old with a £120,000 fine and a three-game ban.
But in their written reasons the commission agreed Cunha's acceptance of the charge, his sincere personal apology and the offer to pay for new glasses were mitigating factors, reducing the fine and ban.
Cunha served the first game of his ban on Monday, sitting out Wolves' 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Basically, I hate watching good teams win.
Exactly Dom.
Also, I fondly remember that season when Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City were all going for the title a decade back.
Liverpool slipped up against Chelsea, Chelsea lost to Crystal Palace. Everybody was messing up.
I can't really remember anything from the run in of that season Manchester City and Liverpool both got 90-odd points.

Agree with Martin. As phenomenal as the peak City and Liverpool sides were, I'm not sure it's good for the league if a team is regularly hitting 95+ points every season. A more 'normal' title win with a points tally in the mid to high 80s is much more entertaining.

The Football Association has published the written reasons relating to the two-match suspension given to Wolves striker Matheus Cunha last month.
The FA charged Cunha with a breach of FA Rule E3.1 on the ground that he acted in an improper manner.
After the final whistle following Wolves 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich Town on 14 December, Cunha elbowed a member of the Ipswich security staff, and then knocked his glasses from his face, causing them to break.
Cunha accepted the charge, and in his evidence said: "I was surrounded by a large number of people, mainly Ipswich personnel, so I remember feeling quite threatened at the time. So in an effort to get [secutiry staff member] to let go of my shirt, in the heat of the moment I regrettably reached out and grabbed his glasses. I know it was wrong to do this and I take full responsibility for my actions."
The FA initially handed Cunha a three-match ban, but reduced it to two due to his previously clean conduct record and because he offered to buy the steward a new pair of glasses.
Cunha missed Wolves' 3-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest on Monday, and will serve the second match of his suspension when his side face Bristol City in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Everybody loves an underdog.
Well, almost everybody. Anybody not secretly supporting them?
And I'm curious, why? And is there anybody out there with a pedantic reason for not supporting a particular club?
Maybe an evil in-law follows them, or did you lose to a specific team in Football Manager or Fifa. Let us know!

I'm a Liverpool fan, and as such want Liverpool to win the league (to silence the *asterisk talk about our last title, if nothing else), but failing that I'm 100% behind Forest. I reckon most fans feel the same - if it's not us, let it be them. There is something wholesome and magical about an underdog team triumphing against the odds, and we all love to see it.
