If I was a Rich girl
As a Forest fan I honestly don’t get the level of pearl clutching about Richarlison, including from Cooper. It’s the kind of niggle and attitude Spurs have been missing for years. Seen far worse in Forest – Derby games down the years.

Scott Parker is clearly an interesting individual, viewed through the lens of a fan he doesn’t always come across as the most self-aware and is now dealing with the consequences of not thinking through what he says.

I suspect he is a natural introvert who isn’t really that comfortable in the limelight, although his £4k suits resembling those blood pressure monitors they give you at the doctors’ might contradict this.

I didn’t go on Saturday, was sitting on Bournemouth beach and had barely got the radio tuned before we were 2-0 down.  Looks like, laudably enough, he tried to be more progressive than the Arsenal and City games and press Liverpool in the same way as United did so successfully last week.  Problem with that is, if your press isn’t spot on and your defence is questionable you’re going to get torn apart and this is exactly what happened.

The sparring with the board has been ongoing all summer.  They backed him to the hilt in January but you can argue that only…
