To be fair, Forest lost Sangare, Danilo & Taiwo who were all first teamers. Whenever Nuno has changed the team around, we’ve never noticed a weak link, as this is a stronger squad than people realise. These 3 are now due back. In my 50yrs following Forest, this is also the closest & tight knit group of players, I’ve ever witnessed. Maranakis has also put all the pieces in the jigsaw together behind the scenes. Our fans were loud and proud while, 5 down at City and 4 down at Leicester. We truly have fantastic fans that will bring the noise. COYR.
It’s beautiful even as a ‘big six’ supporter to see a handful of teams like Forest, Brighton & Fulham growing and actually shaking up expectations of the PL
I’m distraught as a Spurs fan but happy to see clubs that haven’t spent billions taking swings at the big boys. Its great for the sport and if my club isnt up there doing well, then I’ll find a bit of joy seeing such a great season unfold without us 🤘🏽
I doubt any Forest fan believed this would happen at the beginning of the season but many of us were very confident during the pre-season that we would do well. We could see the way Nuno went about his business and it did inspire confidence.
Fan for 45 years, but I predicted 14th this season, so clearly not as confident as you sir ! I think we have done well due to no injuries (Sangare doesn't count !), AND Man Utd, Spurs, Man City and Villa are all doing much less well than usual. That's not our fault, but it certainly helps ! If we beat Liverpool next week, I will think that 5th is actually likely. Anything less, and I reckon we will finish 6th or 7th. We are bound to have a bad spell of say 4 games with No WIns (like Chelsea now), and my fear is Wood getting injured. Bring on next Tuesday.
Forest lost I think seven matches last season by 3-2 so an improvement in defense - less goals conceded would make a major difference. I bet that Forest would finish in the top half way back in August at 9/1 odds and have already collected. Nuno has assembled a brilliant squad.
@@rjw4762and Danilo to be fair. We started the season with Danillo and Sagare in midfield so I'd say it counts! We have done well to keep the squad fit and we will hit another blip at some point but nevertheless we are playing really well and dare I say it but there's room for improvement with the existing players let alone ones we may bring in so who knows where this story ends! I'm enjoying every kick!
Nottingham Forest are the reason we need to stop talking about teams like Manchester United constantly. I would say any Club that prefers to retain the services of a central defender as bad as Victor Lindelof for nearly a decade and never bring in a central defender of the quality of a Nikola Milenković are, in my opinion, not a big Club anymore and definitely not serious about mounting a title challenge anymore, so why give them so much attention?. Well done Forest for this season, you've been a breath of fresh air. Reminds me of that Forest team of the 1994/95 season.
@@MrJobsworth1979 what has that got to do with anything we are a team that is playing good football and a team that is enjoying their football we re a team with no pressure we are defending better than anyone in the premier league all the above makes a dangerous team .
The thing about Forest is that there isn't much to go wrong. It's a really simple, but very effective, way of playing and as long as the team spirit is rock solid, which it would appear to be, then there's no reason why they can't just carry on like this. Even with injuries, you can just slot another person into the formula pretty easily.
As a Forest fan, I cheered on Leicester every step of the way in 2015/6. That was the greatest story since Forest 1977-1980. And this is the best story since Leicester 2015/6, but I think we’ll ultimately finish 5th-7th. Newcastle are flying, and Man City are being to move. Bournemouth and Villa and Fulham and Brighton will all be pushing us too.
I've always been a big fan of Nuno...almost always calm and stoic. Practical. Doesn't get too emotionally high or low. Just get the sense that he's a "player's coach" who people love to play for.
I can't believe that you're a Leicester fan. That Leicester team was far better than this Forrest team. There were more than 5 names there that were very good
Qualifying for Europe would be an amazing achievement. I like most Forest fans felt there was a big improvement last season, possibly better than our final position suggested. I’m dreaming as opposed to becoming hyped, there’s a big difference. I’ll leave the hype to the media.
I said start of the season we can push for Europe!! Look at our squad!! It's right up there!! Best cb partnership in the league and talent everywhere and all good lads!! No egos all talented grafters
I thought we’d make mid table this season and I’d have been happy with that. Ecstatic with the season so far. I’d honestly take 6th place now but🤞for champs league.
When will we start talking about nuno? I know the fella isn't British but we can still talk about what miracles he's doing with the players he's got. And how spurs bottled it by sacking him after 19 games yet ange has had over 50 and "he's the man for the job"
Why does everybody forget what Nuno Santo did at Valencia an average team finishing 4th in laliga, look at where they are now, don't have your blickers on the premier league.
It's not impossible but it will take a lot to repeat Leicester City like run... But UCL is definitely on for Nott'm Forest... It's good for the league that we are witnessing newcomers in the top 4 than those former regular ones...
I always knew nuno was a genius because his tactics frustrated us Liverpool many times before. He's finally getting the recognition. When it comes to tactics he's one of the best in europe.
That last caller does realise the only way Forest “gain” points is by Liverpool dropping points 😂

i never expected us to be top 3 now but i didnt ever expect us to be in a relegation fight either. I thought we'd be around 8th to 10th this season because i could see the team we was building which to be fair non Forest fans like some pundits dont get because they dont follow us like we do .
Forest have done great but 2nd place is an indictment on other teams too ; City Spurs Man Utd and Villa have been grossly underperforming and even Arsenal haven't done as well as they should.
Pre-season my hope was for mid table at best, and as long as we weren’t in a relegation battle again, I would've been happy. Now? If we can beat Liverpool next week, then there's a possibility we could win the league. Either way, we need Liverpool to start droppiny points by losing/drawing games if we're to have any hope. But I did put a bet on Forest to win the league, just in case! I just wish I'd stuck a tenner on at the start of the season 😂
I’m an Aussie but long time Forest fan - just as a joke more than anything else I took a 3 leg multi bet 6 months ago - Forest to win the league, Australia to beat India 3-1 (tick), and Djokovic to win the Australian Open. Total odds 20,000-1 so my $20 gets me $400,000. Don’t think it will actually happen but I’m at least a good chance.
Most of their games against the biggest teams are at home now too…but they’ve got to beat Liverpool, if they do that then I think we can genuinely say they are in the race at this point. If they lose and given that Liverpool have a game in hand too, that’s probably it
liverpool did a leicester. is funny but not true. liverpool have been competing for the league for years leicester competed for the league for one season.
I think that ship has sailed now. Too much coverage. Murillo will be the first to be picked off. Mgw is class, but you might keep hold of him as the 'big 6' all have their own attacking midfielder so wouldn't be able to justify blowing the bank on another one
@highnoon7097 well when we rebuild the city ground and get it to 40k plus maybe we'll be able to keep them also our wonderful owner wants big things for the club god bless him
I like forest but how can they break psr get deducted 2 points then with the signings they make because of that everyone is in awe of them doing so well wish Newcastle would just do the same an we will be in the same boat
Same as city the success is built on corruption, without cheating would either of you be there. Who knows but two points is poor punishment but you are the luckiest side in the division, most the teams your playing are down on there luck and terrible injuries. Tbh I'm still laughing at the stats cairney and carra put up last night, bar every man behind the ball, blocks and clearances you sit bottom on most stats especially for passing, possession etc it's a very weird season for sure @@dilksjoel
The great thing about forest right now is not just what happening on the pitch it the whole feel of the club . We the fans feel like the players are one of us we are the 12th man and their our 11 on the pitch doing it for us. But it's more than that the humility in the team . The lads going in the hospitals at Christmas. Helping out in the soup kitchens. All with a smile on there face. The club giving a suite for the dementia choir to practice . The special needs children having there Christmas party at the ground with nuno the players and the owner who's given them tickets for the rest of the season. The local Sunday league team who had its ground vandalised on hearing they raised over 10 k for repairs . Marinakis matched that and offered to send the staff down to help with the pitch . Football clubs have a very special place in communities and can do wonderfull things. Quite often that can be overlooked in the world of big buisness. A football club can do so much good in its communities and it should. Because it's those communities that built the very foundations of our clubs When we look at some of other clubs out there ,big big clubs getting rid of staff and a packed lunch for the stewards whilst players earn a fortune. I'm so proud of the way our club is being run . Which is something I've not always said . Forest is our club again the communities club the fans club and we're gonna dream. Ps if you get chance read Marinakis Christmas message to the fans . U REDS.
I'm a forest fan and unfortunately we're not a big enough club to win the league or finish top 4. Would be happy with conference league. We are just happy to be in the premier league as we've spent most of our history in the championship after all
For about 4-5 years 😂😂😂 Simon have you seen what Nottingham Forest have won. Before Clough we’d already won 2 FA cups. After him we’d won a league, 2 UCL’s, 1 UEFA Super cup, 4 league cups and a charity shield. Would have won way more but was disqualified for Europe for 5 years for not our wrong doings.
Don't want to burst your bubble but the prospect of playing Liverpool doesn't phase me so the other fixtures certainly don't. Have you seen our results in the last 6 fixtures? We have not been playing bottom 5 every week you know! There is no reason in the world why we cannot keep this form up. Believe! COYR!
I don't think it's an issue. Southampton, Bournemouth, Fulham no problem. Anyone decent at home. We have 18 points in 6 games, and they weren't thought easy. Liverpool have 12. Liverpool wiĺ come for draw.
@@gaiustesla9324 Well rather be where we are than any other club Chelsea down. Because we are 3 points above the Champions league tracker. And we were at one stage on for the Europa league tracker (1.57 points per game). That's what 6 games, 18 points gives you. These trackers surfaced some time ago on some Forest UA-cam channels. We were at first talking about Europa league, now no one is as on course for 3rd place minimum. If we lost to Liverpool we would still be on for top 4. Which is why I thought Wolves game was a must win. Many pundits thought a draw. For me I have a bet of £20 at 25/1 for top 4, so don't want 5th. Not counting the money yet but now 3/1. So we know the direction of travel. I also have 2 minor bets for top 2, one at 80/1 and one at 50/1. I expected these to be losers. But Arsenal lost to Newcastle last night, so don't think they are great. Since they lost Saka. I'm certainly seeing Newcastle as the problem. But can they catch Forest, being 5 points behind. The bookie I went to not accepting top 2 bets but others are 10/1-20/1. And for the win is 40/1. Some bookies 50/1. So might have a fiver for the win because well who knows? But still think there is value for Forest bets. And really I don't get how we could be now lower than top 6. The Irish guy yesterday said 8th. But he acknowledged this would mean 18 points more (58 in total). Meaning Forest would have to be in last years form, who would think that (one point per game). Alice talks Football said 6th, it also means that we would have to be not much more than 20 points in 18 games. But can we trust someone who said relegated? At start of season. And I went on OPTA super computer yesterday, apparently they think we will do worse than Crystal Palace in 2nd half of season. As think we will get 60 points (so 23 2nd half and Palace 24 according to Opta). This is apparently because our XG suggests 30 points and we have 40. But then why won't we get 67 (30 2nd half). The answer to our 3rd place and not 8th (as OPTA think we should be 8th on XG) is that we are taking the chances created and other teams are not. Why shouldn't that continue? Honest question.
The CL obsession has become absurd for teams like Forest. You want 1 season in the CL to derail your club? Its been proven 100 times, Forest couldn't handle playing every 3 days. You're benefiting from a full week to prepare while big clubs are playing 2 sometimes 3 in 8 days. You want Newcastle last season? Embarrassed in the CL, endless injuries and a terrible prem season?
@@Elgrecos dispelled that myth? They were singing to sack Emery 5 weeks ago. They're 8th in the table (2 points off 10th) and they're about to play 7 more games by February 1st. almost a game every 3 days. Forest play 5 in that time frame... do you think forest would have a good month if they added Bayern & Juventus into their schedule this month like Villa did earlier in the season?.... not to mention 6 other CL games they've already played along the way while forest had rest or training days Footballers are not robots. You don't even have time to train t... and you think your squad without any training is ready for champions league games? its laughable
@@johnfulco8313 No idea where you have this singing to sack Emery myth from, you've just pulled that out of thin air. Villa are also 4 points off the top 4, they've stayed in the race for top 4/5 with the addition of CL. I wish Forest fans the best, I hope they get CL football and enjoy every minute of it next season.
@@johnfulco8313 not sure why you have to be so hostile, you come off like a very angry person. Chill, man. While Villa are 2pts off 10th, they are equally only 4pts off 4th and 3pts off 3rd all while still being 5th in the UCL. Literally not one Villa fan was calling for Unai to be sacked, and it's actually mental that you said that mate, there is no need to exaggerate to such an extent to try to make your point. Villa are having a fantastic season and only recently dipped in form causing them to drop a few places, so why can't someone like Forest mimic that? P.S I'm not a Forest fan
@@Elgrecos you must not live in the country... they were singing in villa park to sack emery. Or do you live under a rock?? They literally had segments on Talksport about their own fans signing it when they were struggling this autumn. If you want to use your logic in your second paragraph... they're having a fantastic season? United are 9 points off them when the entire world said they were getting relegated a week ago. Doesn't seem like they're having a fantastic season when they could realistically be in a similar position by february. It has nothing to do with being hostile... it is being realistic. Why can't forest be like villa? Their squad... i mean for gods sake, look at how FFP works. What happend to villa last summer? They literally had to sell to buy with CL football. Do you think forest will have 300 million to spend? Forest are simply benefiting from playing one game a week for 4 months while the big clubs have been playing 2-3. That's not harsh. That's not hostile.... that is the reality. It was the same for newcastle. It was the same for Leicester. it is the same for villa right now... You don't just magically go from finishing bottom half, to a squad 16 deeps of champions league quality players to play in the league, CL, domestic cups.
if something happens as a one off, i would consider it to be a fluke. gotta say the caller is correct. sure fair play to leciester but it was a fluke they won since any other season they dont perform like they did and all the other teams you expect at the top under perform in the way they did. if it happens again with a team similar to leciester then by all means say it wasn't a fluke but the fact so far it is a one off and is very likely to remain that way ill still say its a fluke.
sulky simon hates to give praise to Forest because he doesnt want to admit he was wrong to write us off at the start of the season .. even if we win the league he will make some moany comments
Do a "Leicester"???? Don't you mean "Do what we already did in the 70s"? I know most of you are young and have the memory of goldfish but dont ever equate us to those bin-robbing, relegation-fodder, poor excuse of a Derby replacement bastards!
Tuesday will give us the answer, if Forest win then they're definitely in a title race, if they lose then they're probably out. A draw keeps them with a shout
That Forrest fan talking about " doing a Liverpool & winning 1 title in 30yrs". That was our dark era which still included winning 2 European cups , Multiple FA Cups & League Cups. Meanwhile Forrest were languishing in the Championship for 25+ years yet still call themselves "a big club"
We have never called ourselves a big club. What we are known for is doing the most remarkable thing in the history the game. Those 4 years when we got promoted then took your league title the same year then knocked you out of Europe and went on to win it back to back.
4 FA Cups, 6 League Cups, 2 European Cups and a Uefa Cup (3 Uefa Super Cups and 4 Community Shields...if you count those)...yes no league title in that 30 year period but people make it sound like Liverpool were Tottenham or something. They were still competitive at the top level.

Tbh I'm still laughing at the stats cairney and carra put up last night, bar every man behind the ball, blocks and clearances you sit bottom on most stats especially for passing, possession etc it's a very weird season for sure @@dilksjoel
The Premier League got BTEC lawyers to write the rules so enforcement was always going to be, and still is, an issue.
@languageoffootball I'm amazed there isn't another anti competition lawsuit on the books tbf
The great thing about forest right now is not just what happening on the pitch it the whole feel of the club . We the fans feel like the players are one of us we are the 12th man and their our 11 on the pitch doing it for us.
But it's more than that the humility in the team . The lads going in the hospitals at Christmas. Helping out in the soup kitchens. All with a smile on there face. The club giving a suite for the dementia choir to practice . The special needs children having there Christmas party at the ground with nuno the players and the owner who's given them tickets for the rest of the season. The local Sunday league team who had its ground vandalised on hearing they raised over 10 k for repairs . Marinakis matched that and offered to send the staff down to help with the pitch . Football clubs have a very special place in communities and can do wonderfull things. Quite often that can be overlooked in the world of big buisness. A football club can do so much good in its communities and it should. Because it's those communities that built the very foundations of our clubs
When we look at some of other clubs out there ,big big clubs getting rid of staff and a packed lunch for the stewards whilst players earn a fortune.
I'm so proud of the way our club is being run . Which is something I've not always said . Forest is our club again the communities club the fans club and we're gonna dream. Ps if you get chance read Marinakis Christmas message to the fans . U REDS.
I'm a forest fan and unfortunately we're not a big enough club to win the league or finish top 4. Would be happy with conference league. We are just happy to be in the premier league as we've spent most of our history in the championship after all
Keep dreaming and keep believing who bloody knows what's possible
Can become a bigger club though with seasons like this
For about 4-5 years 😂😂😂 Simon have you seen what Nottingham Forest have won. Before Clough we’d already won 2 FA cups. After him we’d won a league, 2 UCL’s, 1 UEFA Super cup, 4 league cups and a charity shield. Would have won way more but was disqualified for Europe for 5 years for not our wrong doings.
Take a look at the run of fixtures they have coming up..... not to burst anyones bubble.
Don't want to burst your bubble but the prospect of playing Liverpool doesn't phase me so the other fixtures certainly don't. Have you seen our results in the last 6 fixtures? We have not been playing bottom 5 every week you know! There is no reason in the world why we cannot keep this form up. Believe! COYR!
I don't think it's an issue. Southampton, Bournemouth, Fulham no problem. Anyone decent at home. We have 18 points in 6 games, and they weren't thought easy. Liverpool have 12. Liverpool wiĺ come for draw.
Good luck fella's, you're gonna need it.
@@gaiustesla9324 Well rather be where we are than any other club Chelsea down. Because we are 3 points above the Champions league tracker. And we were at one stage on for the Europa league tracker (1.57 points per game). That's what 6 games, 18 points gives you.
These trackers surfaced some time ago on some Forest UA-cam channels. We were at first talking about Europa league, now no one is as on course for 3rd place minimum. If we lost to Liverpool we would still be on for top 4. Which is why I thought Wolves game was a must win. Many pundits thought a draw.
For me I have a bet of £20 at 25/1 for top 4, so don't want 5th. Not counting the money yet but now 3/1. So we know the direction of travel. I also have 2 minor bets for top 2, one at 80/1 and one at 50/1. I expected these to be losers. But Arsenal lost to Newcastle last night, so don't think they are great. Since they lost Saka. I'm certainly seeing Newcastle as the problem. But can they catch Forest, being 5 points behind. The bookie I went to not accepting top 2 bets but others are 10/1-20/1. And for the win is 40/1. Some bookies 50/1. So might have a fiver for the win because well who knows?
But still think there is value for Forest bets. And really I don't get how we could be now lower than top 6. The Irish guy yesterday said 8th. But he acknowledged this would mean 18 points more (58 in total). Meaning Forest would have to be in last years form, who would think that (one point per game). Alice talks Football said 6th, it also means that we would have to be not much more than 20 points in 18 games. But can we trust someone who said relegated? At start of season.
And I went on OPTA super computer yesterday, apparently they think we will do worse than Crystal Palace in 2nd half of season. As think we will get 60 points (so 23 2nd half and Palace 24 according to Opta). This is apparently because our XG suggests 30 points and we have 40. But then why won't we get 67 (30 2nd half). The answer to our 3rd place and not 8th (as OPTA think we should be 8th on XG) is that we are taking the chances created and other teams are not. Why shouldn't that continue? Honest question.
i think they can do a leicester and win the league, the whole squad is fit and no european games
well they are in great form, it is whether they can carry on for the rest of the season....
What's this about holes in the squad?
@AchtungBaby77 hehe i mean whole
@@DarreBet 😂
happy to see Nuno do well and for them to get Europe but no thanks to winning the league, how depressing
The CL obsession has become absurd for teams like Forest. You want 1 season in the CL to derail your club? Its been proven 100 times, Forest couldn't handle playing every 3 days. You're benefiting from a full week to prepare while big clubs are playing 2 sometimes 3 in 8 days. You want Newcastle last season? Embarrassed in the CL, endless injuries and a terrible prem season?
Villa have dispelled that myth this season
@@Elgrecos dispelled that myth? They were singing to sack Emery 5 weeks ago. They're 8th in the table (2 points off 10th) and they're about to play 7 more games by February 1st. almost a game every 3 days.
Forest play 5 in that time frame... do you think forest would have a good month if they added Bayern & Juventus into their schedule this month like Villa did earlier in the season?.... not to mention 6 other CL games they've already played along the way while forest had rest or training days
Footballers are not robots. You don't even have time to train t... and you think your squad without any training is ready for champions league games? its laughable
@@johnfulco8313 No idea where you have this singing to sack Emery myth from, you've just pulled that out of thin air. Villa are also 4 points off the top 4, they've stayed in the race for top 4/5 with the addition of CL. I wish Forest fans the best, I hope they get CL football and enjoy every minute of it next season.
@@johnfulco8313 not sure why you have to be so hostile, you come off like a very angry person. Chill, man.
While Villa are 2pts off 10th, they are equally only 4pts off 4th and 3pts off 3rd all while still being 5th in the UCL.
Literally not one Villa fan was calling for Unai to be sacked, and it's actually mental that you said that mate, there is no need to exaggerate to such an extent to try to make your point.
Villa are having a fantastic season and only recently dipped in form causing them to drop a few places, so why can't someone like Forest mimic that?
P.S I'm not a Forest fan
@@Elgrecos you must not live in the country... they were singing in villa park to sack emery. Or do you live under a rock??
They literally had segments on Talksport about their own fans signing it when they were struggling this autumn. If you want to use your logic in your second paragraph... they're having a fantastic season? United are 9 points off them when the entire world said they were getting relegated a week ago. Doesn't seem like they're having a fantastic season when they could realistically be in a similar position by february.
It has nothing to do with being hostile... it is being realistic. Why can't forest be like villa? Their squad... i mean for gods sake, look at how FFP works. What happend to villa last summer? They literally had to sell to buy with CL football. Do you think forest will have 300 million to spend?
Forest are simply benefiting from playing one game a week for 4 months while the big clubs have been playing 2-3. That's not harsh. That's not hostile.... that is the reality. It was the same for newcastle. It was the same for Leicester. it is the same for villa right now... You don't just magically go from finishing bottom half, to a squad 16 deeps of champions league quality players to play in the league, CL, domestic cups.
Liverpool will stamp their authority next time they play Forest 😂😂😂
Wood not a world class sticker like your not a top class business man,just ask Eddie hearn 😂
Striker, and You're
if something happens as a one off, i would consider it to be a fluke. gotta say the caller is correct. sure fair play to leciester but it was a fluke they won since any other season they dont perform like they did and all the other teams you expect at the top under perform in the way they did. if it happens again with a team similar to leciester then by all means say it wasn't a fluke but the fact so far it is a one off and is very likely to remain that way ill still say its a fluke.
Take notice forest will win league don’t be talking about top four it will be top
Iam a forest fan but we won't be able to play in champion because the owner has a onother club that plays in Europe
Wolves were beaten by an ex Wolves academy kid and an ex Albion academy kid 😂😂😂
We didn’t want to be in the premier league Simon 😛 championship was much more fun 😂 we’ve decided to bother now…deal with it 😂
sulky simon hates to give praise to Forest because he doesnt want to admit he was wrong to write us off at the start of the season .. even if we win the league he will make some moany comments
With those awful thick rimmed glasses Jordan looks more like a Thunderbird every day.
Simon morphing into a Ellen DeGeneres/ Sue Perkins hybrid 😂
Do a "Leicester"???? Don't you mean "Do what we already did in the 70s"?
I know most of you are young and have the memory of goldfish but dont ever equate us to those bin-robbing, relegation-fodder, poor excuse of a Derby replacement bastards!
Farmer league vibes
Tuesday will give us the answer, if Forest win then they're definitely in a title race, if they lose then they're probably out. A draw keeps them with a shout
Forest spent hundreds of millions, it's not a surprise they aren't down the bottom but Nuno is doing incredible things.
you are clueless, mate.
You shouldn't comment on something you know absolutely nothing about
Hundreds of millions 🤦
forest fluked 2 european cups beating Hamburg and Malmo (who?)
😂😂😂 flukes😂😂😂😂
Joker
They didnt fluke beating Liverpool in round 1 of the European Cup, who at the time were the best team in Europe
@@scotthands43961979, Birtles i think. Stopping Pool from 3 in a row.
Winning the European cup in the Stone Age doesn’t make you a big club.
Blackburn won the prem, are they a big club?

That Forrest fan talking about " doing a Liverpool & winning 1 title in 30yrs". That was our dark era which still included winning 2 European cups , Multiple FA Cups & League Cups. Meanwhile Forrest were languishing in the Championship for 25+ years yet still call themselves "a big club"
Everton fans are real from the city Liverpool stadium quite tbh
We have never called ourselves a big club. What we are known for is doing the most remarkable thing in the history the game. Those 4 years when we got promoted then took your league title the same year then knocked you out of Europe and went on to win it back to back.
4 FA Cups, 6 League Cups, 2 European Cups and a Uefa Cup (3 Uefa Super Cups and 4 Community Shields...if you count those)...yes no league title in that 30 year period but people make it sound like Liverpool were Tottenham or something. They were still competitive at the top level.
Your comment isn’t worth anything when you can’t spell Forest 🤡
@jamesanthony9316 no he ment wen Gerrard slipped
HEY WHITE, FOREST ARE THIRD IN THE LEAGUE. NOT JOINT SECOND. ARSENAL ARE SECOND WITH A GOAL DIFFERENCE OF TEN.
Financial cheats 👍
😂 £105m allowable losses for 3 years in the Prem. Forest will be well under that amount when accounts are released in the next week 👍🏼
🤡👍
It's not Forest without Wood ❤️ 🪵
Spurs nearly won in 2015 . Thats how bad it was
WAS JORDAN A LANDSCAPE GARDENER? ALL YOU HEAR FROM HIM IS ABOUT THE LANDSCAPE.
