O/T:- Leicester City

[i961pie]

I'm fully prepared for disappointment tomorrow, but at least the Premier League results went well tonight.

Haven’t gone well today�� Interesting game at the weekend against Chelsea, if the red dogs win they have a great chance of the champions league. I’m sure we won’t hear much about it from the local media.

Haven?t gone well today�� Interesting game at the weekend against Chelsea.

It looks like they've banned a certain person from seeing it:

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has said Nottingham Forest have banned him from the City Ground for their final Premier League game of the season against Chelsea on Sunday.

The former Manchester United and England defender said he was informed by the broadcaster that Forest "would not give me an accreditation or access to the stadium as a co-commentator".

"I've had no choice but to withdraw from the coverage," the 50-year-old added on Instagram.

BBC Sport has contacted Nottingham Forest for comment.

Neville criticised Evangelos Marinakis on X after the Forest owner marched onto the pitch and spoke animatedly with manager Nuno Espirito Santo following the late goal by Leicester City in the 2-2 draw earlier this month.

"Scandalous from that Forest owner. Nuno should go and negotiate his exit tonight with him! The Forest fans, players and manager do not deserve that," Neville wrote on X the same day.

Forest later denied Marinakis' exchange with Nuno was a "confrontation" and described subsequent reaction to the situation as "fake news".

The club said the incident was because of Marinakis' frustration that striker Taiwo Awoniyi had continued to play after an 88th-minute injury, which subsequently required urgent surgery.

"I've dished out my fair share of criticism and praise in the last 14 years of doing this job and have never come close to this unprecedented action," Neville said.

"Whilst they have every right to choose who they let into their own stadium, it's symptomatic of things that have happened over the last 12 months with the club."

Seventh-placed Forest can qualify for next season's Champions League on Sunday if they beat Chelsea at the City Ground and other results go their way.

"Personally, I think it's disappointing that a great club like Nottingham Forest have been reduced to making such a decision," Neville added.

"I wish the coaching staff, players and fans of the club all the best in their quest to achieve Champions League football."

The Premier League said accreditation was a club matter.

Champions League yer avin a larf.

Even though most of their fans would have taken 7th place in a heartbeat at the start of the season, it will be a massive letdown now. To go from dreaming of Champions League to ending up in the Checkatrade Trophy of European football has cheered me up!

Awwww, shame.........


Levi Colwill's goal clinched Chelsea's place in the Champions League next season with a narrow and nervy win at Nottingham Forest, who qualified for the Uefa Conference League despite defeat.

Hadrada they weren't playing in Europe at all.

They looked to have virtually clinched a CL spot a couple of months ago, but one point from the last four home games (and that against Leicester!) scuppered it. It's a familiar story.
