Quite a bit on radio about Milner and his record breaking number of games.

He is currently on same number as Gareth Barry. Yet Gareth Barry appears to have played an extra 14,000 minutes than Milner. Loads of players have played many more minutes than Milner, such as Giggs, Lampard, Carragher, Ferdinand, etc.

I would give him credit for keeping fit at his age. However, if I played 2 minutes per game, and had the benefit of a work life of massages and physiotherapists looking after me ever day, I reckon I could manage a couple of minutes football a week until I'm 60 :ROFLMAO:

Going back to Dyche. I think it’s fair to say that he had probably the best squad he has ever had at Forest and yet he was rammel. So are his days of managing a decent team now over 🤔

Dyche had a far worse squad at Everton and got better results, given how Forest have treated managers this year, I believe the issues are closer to home.

The clubs issues are imo also the same person who was a big key reason for them getting back to the prem and doing well

The owner

But it’s his actions imo that will be a key reason for them getting relegated

I think that’s kinda my point, it was the best squad he has had, but couldn’t get anything out of them. And I think since Moyes went back, he has got even more out of the team. 👍 be it with a few tweaks.

Moyes got a few players in and a new stadium lift.
Dyche took over when we were a basket case, managed us through the points deductions etc.
For the issues he faced he done a great job.

Forest have given him no time, at the beginning he had their full support when results went well.

Good luck to the new guy he’ll need it.

I'm sorry but he really isn't. He's been an excellent professional but he's squeezed out the last 4-5 years or so bit by bit. He's a solid pro, but not even close to legend.

Guess depends on what you determine to be a legend - but for me he is a prem league legend

24 years he has been playing , top of the appearances charts , played at number of top teams winning titles
