Wonder if it’s a new beer or just an existing one that Birmingham Brewing Company have rebadged?

If he ever gets done for drunk driving it'll be "First the pints then the points"

Nominees for Premier League Manager of the Season:

Thomas Frank
Eddie Howe
Nuno Espirto Santo
Vitor Pereira
Arne Slot

He won't win it but great acknowledgement of the job he has done in half a season

 

[Kenny]

He should be in the conversation but not win it.

Presume Slot will but Howe in with a shout.

 

[Tony Towner]

It'll be Slot, I'd have Frank and Nuno over Howe though as I think they've overperformed more to expectation assuming Brentford stay 8th and make Europe. As its a PL award the cup Howe won shouldn't be considered.

 

[AndyWolves]

Should be Nuno

 

[Wilf Wolf]

To follow Klopp in and win the league against all expectation would make Slot a very worthy winner. Not one of the 34 BBC pundits backed Liverpool for the title yet they’ve won it at a canter.

Should be Nuno

Nah, not if he just finishes 7th and lost an FA Cup semi. He did both of those things with us and never got MOTY

 

[Del Woppio]

Tbf I think out squad was a lot better, plus Newcastle and Villa weren't much cop.

 

[Tony Towner]

If he'd kept them third I'd agree, but they've won 2 of their last 8 and that was against Utd and Spurs who everyone beats. Victim of his own success to a degree, but I don't think you can ignore the context in which they've finished 7th if indeed they do.

Doesn't mean he didn't deserve to though.
Vitor is in the mix, as is Nuno, Frank and Howe and they deserve to be....it'll be Slot, I dont think anyone can say he isn't deserving of it.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Agreed with Nuno not getting it, after our semi loss we lost to Southampton but then got it out of our system and won 3 and drew 1 of our final 5. Forest have dropped off a bit like Burley's Ipswich in 2001 who were third for a good chunk of the season before finishing in the UEFA Cup places too.

 

[AndyWolves]

For me it's expectations of where teams would expect to finish Vs where they do

I'm incredibly biased towards managers who significantly over achieve - even if they don't achieve anything.

Forest finishing 7th is more of an achievement than Liverpool winning the league - if that makes sense?

He’s done it with less talent at Forest IMO.

 

[Tony Towner]

He’s done it with less talent at Forest IMO.

Weaker Sky 6 though. In 2019/20 they finished 1-6 so we were literally the best of the rest.

 

[Alan]

Personally don’t think that matters much. Just because there are some unusuals in the top 6 doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re worse than, say, a Spurs team in 6th.

It’s putting too much respect on the Sky 6 and not enough on the rest IMO. I also just hate the idea that Spurs and United being relative shite this season somehow devalues the success of the teams above them and/or in the positions those two clubs are more used to being in.

 

[Tony Towner]

It doesn't devalue, but you can't ignore that it makes it an atypical season. Since they became the Sky 6 with City joining I think only 1 team, Chelsea, has finished in the bottom half and this year there are 2

Liverpool have won the league once since 1990?

And haven't Forest had a net spend of over £200m since promotion? Not like they're Luton
