In winning the Premier League manager of the month award for September, Oliver Glasner became the first Crystal Palace gaffer to take the gong since Tony Pulis in April 2014. Of course, Pulis could justifiably claim to have done more to earn his gaudy Perspex commemorative cuboid with four wins and a defeat, compared to his modern-day equivalent’s paltry draw and two wins.

However, what completely threw me in the article was the description of Forest Green Rovers as being ‘currently managed by former bad boy Robbie Savage’” – Noble Francis.
Re: Sensible Soccer or Kick Off 2 (yesterday’s last line, full email edition). If you listen to your colleague Max ‘I’ve already got a podcast’ Rushden’s, ahem, other podcast, you would know that Emlyn Hughes International Soccer is currently the hipsters’ choice. But seriously, it’s Sensi, natch” – David Bell.
