Good player but a complete horses ass

He actually isn’t a good player; his all-round game is crap. He just excels at sticking the ball in the back of the net.

Arsenal is starting a 16 year old goal keeper tonight versus Bolton in the Caraboa Cup.

Wow. I was just reading the events that have preceded him being named - Raya injured and backup Neto unavailable vs Bolton.

Hope he goes well.

After watching Arsenal defend Gyokeres today I'm much more interested in Alexander Isak.

Arsenal have two tricky away games before Liverpool next play. It’s an opportunity for them to narrow the gap, although the leaders will have two games in hand, but neither Brentford nor Brighton will be easy.

Forrest has been a really good story so far this year. They avoided relegation with I think the lowest point total ever and are currently 2nd in the league and I don't recall any huge signings.

Their biggest acquisition was Elliott Anderson, who has been a mainstay of their midfield. But the all-new centre-half pairing of Morato and Milenkovic has had the greatest impact.

Did they change coaches too? Haven't really looked into them much on that front but he's doing a great job whoever he is.

Nuno came in this time last year.

He’s done an excellent job; in fact he would be a deserving Manager of the Year if Forest finish in the top four, although if Liverpool win the title in Slot’s first season the Dutchman might have the edge.

Fair play to a forest they are doing really well. Gibbs-White is a really good player and Milenkovic was a player we tried to sign a couple of years back and failed. It’s ok though as we are defensively very sound anyway.

Nuno Espirito Santo , coached at Wolves and Spurs previously … seems like a great man manager who is getting the best out of each player in the group and has created a great team ethos.

After a tumultuous fight against the drop last season, the Portuguese has made smart changes and instilled strong bonds to put his side in the top four

Has built a very solid defensive structure around Milenkovic and Murillo. Been a great turn around, have won five in a row … same as the Rams.

This Hibs Rangers match is very entertaining and it's in a huge rain storm.

Weather not great over here at the minute, I was meant to go to Sandown yesterday but that was abandoned due to the track being frozen.

I was just about to leave for Plumpton today when it got called off.

Shame that, I was looking forward to watching it especially the Sussex national. At least you knew before you set off.
