Humans found out in prehistoric times that it can be fairly easy to defend if you hold the higher ground. Just ask Anakin Skwwalker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to do a double take when I heard he'd scored, thought he was well retired. Quick check and he's 37, not played in UK for 7 years since Rotherham and his last club was North East United, whoever they are. Must be the usual "its who you know", presume he was at Blackburn at same time as Mark Hughes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been like this in the 80s and 90s I wouldn't have a fraction of the memories I've got of following the team away in the lower divisions. Very very rarely needed to buy a ticket never mind have them restricted to 1 per ST holder etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuffed for Cooper as well, wouldn't have been kept on at many clubs and especially under that owner but for whatever reason he held his nerve. Agreed. Cooper has done a fantastic job not just this season but getting them up in the first place. Top manager, when he leaves Forest eventually he'll have no trouble getting another decent job. Then again the same was true of Chris Wilder and a year or 2 later he looks like he's in last chance saloon after failing at Boro and Watford.

At various times in last few years the "next England manager" has been Brendan Rogers, Stevie G, Graham Potter, Eddie Howe. Cooper being Welsh possibly rules him out. Can't say I care anyway, it only becomes relevant to me for about 2 weeks every 2 years when I either agree or disagree with their selections for a quarter or semi final.

jmjhb Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) He's already managed the England U16s and U17s so knows the setup. Indeed, his England team won the U17s World Cup back in 2017. Just a case of having a bit more success at club level I think. Edited May 21, 2023 by jmjhb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was interesting hearing him interviewed on Sky afterwards (when Tony Adams had piped down) talking about how he thinks football is moving towards a new phase where possession isn't king anymore. Think they had about 18% yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
