for me, they were always historically pretty cool…from the badge, to clough, to the football they played…and then when they were easily the second best football team in the country, we decided to go and thump them 5-0 in what was probably my most ever watched game of football…especially for the time (hardly get to see 90 minutes in the Oz back then)…so to get the VHS…and a bit of the season around it was pure romance
theyve bought a couple of our lads, so its always nice to see them kick on…
im having a hard time raging at thier current stupidity to be honest…probably more to do with my apathy about anything non LFC nowadays…
so yeah…i know im MEANT to hate this current version…but im struggling to work myself up to do it…
Yep. That pretty much sums up how I feel about them.
Still, they’re playing well and they’re no more detestable than any of the other chasing pack, so that’s why I previously posted that I would like to see them finish in the top four.
Definitely prefer them to do so than either of the Manchester clubs, Newcastle or Chelsea.
Yeah, their owner is pantomime evil, but in a league where a team is owned by the sovereign wealth fund controlled by a man who ordered the actual butchery of a journalist, the dominant side of the era is owned by the sovereign wealth fund by a regime with a dire human rights record, his poor behaviour is just pantomime
The fat Greek fella at the helm of Forest is detestable, but far short of a nation state ordering executions and the like, as others have pointed out.
It is nice to see them up there and it is a good story. I agree - preferable to either Manchester club, Newcastle or Chelsea.
I do just about remember the European Cups and the time when they were giving us a good run for our money. And Clough, despite his flaws, was a great football man.
I can’t be doing with the animosity of their fans though. It seems small time. They are getting a bit ahead of themselves to be shouting the odds, but it’s probably more a symptom of society than anything else, as vitriol and meanness is on the rise.
I don’t mind football banter, but it’s always better with a bit of humour, or great timing. The Forest fans - not all - just seem mean and small time, which undermines the desire to be magnanimous about their current run.
It’s a narrative that I’ve seen from Arsenal fans recently is that Liverpool have played all the good sides at home and all the bad ones away - with the implication that when we play the good sides away we will lose.
It may be fair to say we’ve had an easier away schedule in the first half of the season but it also fails to mention that we will have an easier home schedule in the second half of the season…
