The Leicester fairy tale continues.

Eliminated Champions League teams no longer fall into the Europa League, so can’t happen.

What’s the problem? Marinakis’ two teams are in different European competitions. There is no possibility of them playing each other. If Forest had not dropped out of Champions League places, then the March/April thing might have been relevant, but they didn’t, so it’s not. It wouldn’t have mattered if Marinakis had never transferred his shares. There’s no conflict of interest. Textor’s two teams were in the same European competition. They could have played each other. It’s not difficult.

Exactly. Someone understands.

Course it won’t last. The league is set up for the Big 6 to reign in perpetuity. But I’m going to Wembley next month. And not going to Wrexham next season.

In the Championship, mate. Give it our best wishes.

All of this is true, but it's not the point. Forest's best season in 30 years is happening now. Leicester's best season ever happened nearly a decade ago. Saying "your success now is not as good as ours was then" is like when your dad tells you nights out aren't what they used to be when he's settling in for a Friday night on the sofa and you're out on the pull. Yeah, whatever, Dad. Also, no-one outside Lancashire cares that Blackburn won the Premier League once. Leicester's win will become a pub quiz question as the years plod on.

Yeah, mid-table Prem and a Euro adventure. How disappointing for them after 25 years of nothing.

The most significant thing is that Leicester 2016 and Forest 2025 are absolutely *years* apart. The longstanding jibe at Forest was that they were living in the past. They might have had a glorious history but how was it relevant *now*? You're doing the same thing now. Leicester might have had a glorious 2016, but they are loving it *now*. I really don't think Forest fans give a shit that are only third. After 20 years of rubbish, they are loving it

Just thinking who the last manager was who kept a newly promoted team in the Premier League by understanding that his preferred philosophy isn’t going to work against top sides and he had to build towards it. Someone that can be successful at scrapping in the premier league. Who knows that the Year One target is to stay in 17th or above... Can't... Think...
