Greatest Footy league in the world.
2 weeks ago Man U sacked their coach and Arsenal were cruising to a title.
Today, Man U above Liverpool and in top 4, while Arsenal reducing their lead to a measly 4 points.

Think the Nottingham forest owner is probably crazy. And think he acts pretty rude. But I do respect him a bit. Nottingham forest isn’t a big club (at least not for decades). And yet the owner still is wanting them to compete amongst the best playing a style of football to challenge for the title. Yes a bit unrealistic given the size of club and funds.
Dyche has been sacked for that reason. I think that also explains frustrations with Nuno. It is the smart logical thing to play in that style given the circumstances.
Then again not sure why he appointed dyche in the first place. Maybe he expected dyche to switch tactics after he’d carried nott forest to safety.

Tbf NF have a very good squad , they should be top 10 not fighting for survival . He expected Dyke to win more points . They won’t get a Clough again but deserve better than Dyche

They made a hugh mistake when they clipped Nunez's wings to Please Edu. Nunez did a fantastic job at Forest.

Nunez mildly criticised the owner in a press conference, it was never the same again. I agree if the was backed further, top 6 finish was on.

Bees sting Arteta on the backside.
Stoke were very lucky to walk away with a point, domination by Brentford.

Pereira signs deal as Forest boss until end of next season
Vitor Pereira has signed a deal until the end of next season to become Nottingham Forest's fourth manager of the campaign and help them avoid relegation from the Premier League.
The 57-year-old takes over at the City Ground from Sean Dyche, who was sacked early on Thursday morning.
Forest are yet to officially announce the Portuguese's appointment, but he is set to return for another spell in English football, having been axed by Wolves in November after 11 months in charge.
The Tricky Trees are 17th in the Premier League, three points above the drop zone, after two wins in their last 10 games.
Pereira follows Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and Dyche as Forest manager since September.
They sacked Dyche after being held to a disappointing goalless draw by bottom club Wolves on Wednesday.
Pereira, who won 14 of his 38 games in charge of Wolves and helped them stay up last season, quickly emerged as the preferred replacement, having worked previously under Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis at Greek club Olympiacos.
He won the title and Greek Cup in 2014-15 in his six months in charge, before leaving for Fenerbahce.
Pereira joined Wolves in December 2024, but was sacked three months ago with the club on two points from their first 10 league matches.
He started his managerial career with Portuguese club Sanjoanense in 2004 and, following spells in Germany, China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, he is set to embark on his 15th role.

Premier League and English Football League will resume their procedures for Ramadan, with matches pausing briefly to allow Muslim players to break their fast
Ramadan starts this week and will last for a month. During the this time, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn until sunset.
With sunset in the UK ranging from about 17:00 to 19:00 GMT during this period, the only games that could see a break in play will be Saturday's 17:30 kick-off and Sunday's 16:30 kick-off.
As has been the case in previous years, club captains alongside match officials will find a natural pause in the game to allow Muslim players or match officials to break their fast.
Teams and match officials will discuss beforehand whether a pause is required and an approximate time for the stoppage will be agreed.
Play will not stop while matches are in mid-flow but at the earliest convenient moment during a goal-kick, free-kick or throw-in.
Everton players break their fast during a Premier League match against Newcastle in 2024
In 2021, an agreement was put in place to allow Muslim players to break their fast during a Premier League match.
This first break took place in a game between Leicester City and Crystal Palace in April 2021. The match was paused at a goal-kick around the half-hour mark to allow Leicester's Wesley Fofana and Palace's Cheikhou Kouyate, external to replenish themselves with liquids and energy gels.
One of the five pillars of Islam is that during Ramadan, Muslims fast during daylight hours to show their devotion to their religion.
Muslim names in the Premier League include Mohamed Salah, William Saliba, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Amad Diallo among others.
"In the Premier League you are free to do whatever suits you. They will never do anything against your faith and this is great," former Everton player Abdoulaye Doucoure told BBC Sport in 2023.
"I fast every day, I don't miss any day. It has become normal and very easy for me. Training is still the same during Ramadan but when we go [for away matches], we might need to eat later than the others so the chef prepares food for us, making sure everything is in place as at home. We get halal food so there are no problems," Doucoure added.
And in 2022, former Liverpool player Sadio Mane revealed the club altered their training schedules to support their Muslim players during the month of Ramadan.
