David Moyes has done an incredible job since his return to #EFC.
Unbeaten in his last 9 league games, he deservedly picked up the manager of the month award for February.

Moyes has restored faith in the team again and has drastically improved their defensive frailties.

Yesterday: Sir Jim Ratcliffe: “There’s no money left in the club. And that is after my 300 million”.

Today: Man United have announced plans to build the biggest stadium in the UK - ‘an "iconic" new £2bn 100,000-seater ground close to Old Trafford’ (BBC)

Make it make sense?

Interesting stat from TNT Sports- Forest currently rank 20th in terms of possession in games so far this season.

Forest average 39.6% of possession in games yet are 3rd in the table. Highlights how good of a job Nuno has done with their organisation and style.

Poor so far from Chelsea.
0 attempts on goal.

It’s one of these types of games that needs a centre forward with Copenhagen sitting so deep.

Currently playing with no striker and hoping to play through the lines won’t work as seen in that half.

What a brilliant read ‘States of Play’ was.

‘Sports Washing’ has become the biggest problem in the game and it was eye opening to see how crooked the game is behind the scenes.

A must read for any sports fan, fair play @migueldelaney.bsky.social 👏🏽

Goal scoring is an art form and has been demonstrated no better than Mohamed Salah this season. It’s the deciding factor to winning big games and titles. The sheer adulation amongst the crowd when seeing your favourite team or player can’t be put into words.

Maresca made 4 subs before the hour mark and it ultimately changed the game.

Points dropped too often for lack of decisiveness but clearly had enough of what he saw today.

Luck played a big part in that win but back into the top four is what matters.

City getting an absolute battering today. Rodri’s loss been huge for them but can’t blame that on their performances of late, something very off with them.

Arsenal look to have used that Haaland incident earlier on in the season to rise them, they’ve been on it today!

7-0.. What an incredible job Nuno has done with this club.

This time last season they just about beat Bristol City in a penalty shootout and were fighting for survival.

Today they’ve annihilated Brighton and moved in joint 2nd in the League👏🏽

🚨Aston Villa close to agreeing deal to sign Marcus Rashford on loan from Man Utd.

According to David Ortnstein, it’s expected the 27 year old forward will join #AVFC. Likely to include buy option, significant salary coverage.

Who saw this coming!👀

Why do clubs leave it until the end of the month to make these transfers?

Jesus has been ruled out for the season for the past two weeks and Arsenal only make a bid for a replacement today?

Can’t see it happening but it’d be a big one for Arsenal if it does.
