Looks like one may have been him driving back from the city defeat 5th Dec. I wonder when he was up in the magistrates dock? Could correlate with his downturn in form around the cup semi final

Did anyone notice that Leo Hjelde was playing for Sunderland in the playoffs last night?

Leo is son of former Forest defender Jon Olav Hjelde, and was actually born in Nottingham.

Weirdly as I was watching the game it reminded me of a goal that Jon scored against Sunderland many years ago albeit can’t quite remember which season it was.

Think i went down a little wormhole earlier in the season when Sunderland were flying and I caught one of their matches on sky. Jon played for Mansfield before returning to Norway, i think thats why he was born in UK from memory

MGW and Wood are among the nominees for EAFC Premier League player of the season.

Nice recognition for them both but I imagine Salah will win.

Not sure how the nominations are decided but personally I'd have said Milenkovic and Sels are more deserving of being nominated than MGW. No issue with Wood though - he deserves it and has had an incredible season.

Agree tbh. Up until last game think MGW and Milenkovic had same number of goals.

I imagine as its not based on one season, those two teams have been progressive for a few years now.

Newcastle reportedly have Ross Wilson on their shortlist to replace their sporting director Paul Mitchell who leaves at the end of June.

Also, this is nice, as posted by Henry Winter:

No Nigel clough?

oh yeah, but of an omission that is. Maybe he's already got one.
