FA Cup R4 - Nottingham Forest v Leicester

[fitz]

I’m sure there was a Leeds fan who was ok for while and then when to shite. The Whites, or something like that?

Aye, they're mostly white. Be proper awkward joining in their chants otherwise. Can't remember him/her tbh.

We beat the reigning champions Liverpool in the first game and don't forget every team were league champions not this finishing fourth nonsense

Forest and Liverpool were both league champions at the same time?

Best memory of Forest was standing on the Trent end watching them play Tottenham, I was about 14, Forest scored and the 2 young woman standing next to me lifted their tops in celebration, it was the 2nd time I'd seen a pair of tits...

Second and third time, I presume? I'm curious to hear about the first time. Care to share?

It's F****t.

Didn't you have a mummy, Joe_?

Liverpool were not the reigning champions at the time - you were. Liverpool were the holders and therefore your assertion that every team *was* a league champion also fails.

 

[bocadillo]

...whilst your PL win was truly spectacular you must consider yourself fortunate that the so called big boys collectively decided to have a season off.

I remember a similar happening in the late 70s when an unfashionable team from the East Midlands and Malmö reached the final of the European Cup. Malmö, ****ing Malmö, who would have thought it?

 

[Micky]

Genuine question, how many European cup games did Forest win to win the whole competition and also who did they beat?

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Tut. All this talk about condescending attitudes. I'm well able to remember the stuff Forest fans said in the 70s/80s/90s

Anything from us in this thread pales into insignificance compared to the Arsenal/Man U/Liverpool levels of arrogance shown towards us by Forest fans back then.

What goes around comes around. It's the nature of things.

Its also the nature of football to rip into other fans & take the risk of looking a tit when it bites you. Have people forgotten this?

I'm exactly the correct age to hate Forest more than any other club. I'd been a City fan for less than 3 years when they won the league as we were relegated.

When I first decided that football was "my thing" I was delighted to discover that my home town team were in the top portion of the top division & widely admired for the football that they played. I anticipated a fun future of big games against big clubs, trophies & european games on Sportsnight.

2 & a half years later it was all in ruins. An era over, relegation in the most abject fashion possible & by the time I was old enough to go to games on my own the thrill of watching us play Wrexham on a chilly Tuesday night. Thus began over 20 years of almost uninterrupted misery & disappointment until the league cup win. It all went horribly wrong.

Meanwhile, until their promotion season I didn't even know that Forest existed. I thought County were the only team in Notts. I'd heard of them due to the "oldest club in the world" thing in football books.

Then I sat back & watched in disbelief as they won the league & we crashed & burned. I didn't understand how such a thing was possible. It scarred me deeply.

When we got back to the top flight amid the optimism of young players under Wallace, I convinced myself that the previous few years had been a blip & we would now go on to reclaim the future I'd expected. The very first away game I went to on my own was Forest. 3 months shy of my 16th birthday.

5 ****ing 0

Torn apart down both wings by some ****s named O'Neill & Robertson. No idea what became of them but I vowed to hate them forever.

When we won the Prem 36 years later, amongst all the emotions I felt there was a tiny little back-of-the-mind thought that said "that makes up for Forest"

So yeah. It was Forest for me that were the eternal enemy. Because it all seemed so ****ing unfair. Especially as in later years I ended up sharing workplaces with fans of theirs & having to put up with their shite.

Not Derby, not Cov (Never meant anything to me. West Mids team. Never even thought of it as a derby match. I even bet on them to beat Spurs in the cup final in 87)

Always Forest.

But now ? It's just nostalgia & I don't really care. The revenge has already been had & it's over for me. Like a bad relationship from long ago.

Having said that, it'd be just typical of this waste of ****ing space of a season to have us lose to them & stuff our last chance of winning anything. A throwback result. So I'll prepare myself.

Top post GUAW.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Ha, thanks Boc, that makes sense, although doesn't really feel right saying "a pair of tits" on that context.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Rhydal has always been sound. Cafe has always been a knob.

I'm struggling to think of who you were thinking about then. Nwets?

Either of you old enough to remember Dork Wolf, the Wolves troll?

Yep, exactly my experience.

He also named a road after the manager, think it was called "Ye Olde Piss Trough" something like that anyway

Really playing at semantics?
Just remember that you guys brought up the EC not me.

Aha! The common retort from somebody who prefers to talk in approximatíons rather than facts.

Just remember that you guys brought up the EC not me.

Yup. We thought we'd save you the effort.

Relax, Rich, you are on a LCFC forum.

Ok. A champion is someone or something that has beaten all others in competition ergo Liverpool were the reigning champions.

As someone who went to all the European Cup games I have my own memories but thanks for the kind offer

 

[bocadillo]

. A champion is someone or something that has beaten all others in competition ergo Liverpool were the reigning champions.

So, by that strange logic you would call Leicester City champions now then? I wouldn't.

They certainly talk some odd kind of bollocks in your parts!
