I think Alan gets kicked out by Cat first up. Imo it’s the only way a Traitor has a chance to win.

So that Forest team has:

- 5 defenders
- ⁠4 defensive midfielders
- A striker who’s scored 1 goal in the last 14 months

Ange is either going full pelt for a 0-0 or is trying to get sacked. Or both.
Forest team looks good today..

Schrödinger's Premier League:
A lot of pundits seem to simultaneously believe that Liverpool are the favourites to win the league and Arteta must win it or he is a failure, which would only make sense if Arsenal were the favourites.

Superb scenes with James Martin on ITV just now.

“Now, I’m delighted to have one of my TV heroes from The Yorkshire Vet on, he’s so kind to animals, Peter Wright”

“Hi, James”

“Now, Peter, let’s look at these steaks”
