My best friend is a life long Utd supporter, had a season ticket for many years.
He messaged me last night to say he thinks Liverpool will batter them.

5 - 0 at West Ham and 0 - 2 to Newcastle suggests your friend is right. I see Amorim is talking about relegation as a possibility. Two more losses for Utd and a win each for Everton, Palace and Wolves and it will start to be a battle for Utd.

It'll be interesting to see what Arsenal can do at Brentford. Even with yesterday's results, the top of the PL is looking tighter.

Forest found a way through Brentfords home winning ways, it'll be interesting whether Brenford can reset.

It's surprising how a big game against fierce rivals can spark a performance that has previously been lacking. If I were Liverpool I would be taking nothing for granted.
I doubt if Amorim sees relegation as a real possibility. He's looking for a reason he can claim a degree of success should they finish around mid table, which IMO is quite likely.
I said exactly that to my friend. Form often goes out of the window in these games.
However, I do believe we will have too much for them.

I did say on CC at the start of his job as Plymouth manager that he'd be better renting rather than buying accommodation as he won't be there that long.... and it seems he took my advice!

I notice in the football results nowadays that the team I have known for decades as Notts County appear to be just referred to as Notts and you have done similar Mike.
Has "County" been dropped from the name of the club?

No still Notts County but normally abbreviated to Notts while the younger offspring on the otherside of the river (formed by a Notts player so Notts had someone local to play) is referred to as Forest. National press referring to them as Notts Forest is wholly incorrect as the abbreviation of Nottingham is Nottm.
Notts County was the trading name only for many years. Notts.FC (note the full stop) was the original name but to avoid confusion County was added to fixture lists from the 1880s. In 1890 the FA ageed a registered name change to Notts. incorporated FC.
It was not untill 2003 that Notts County existed as a registered name.

Great point for Rovers today. Draws with Sunderland and Leeds over Christmas mean losing at home to Hull was big missed opportunity. Now we need Hull to do the business against Boro.
And then on to the small matter of the east Lancashire derby. Rovers (5/6th) v Burnley (2nd/3rd) at Ewood on Saturday. Sold out. I've seen a lot of derby games, this one is the biggest of all of those.

I wonder if County is still the favoured term locally, I know as a teenager in the 70s in Nottingham, it was County, without exception.
Forest or County, the only descriptors needed locally.
