That’s what I want to be part of!! Great video!

Why do they hate them?

I'm kidding, in the past they had a rivalry like in the 80s and 90s but that is long forgotten now

Wake up Casp. It's match day! I get into researching this stuff and doing do diligence presently about this team!

Just ignore the negativity thrown your way for picking NF and only go by the one positive post from the only former soccer player at GL!

yes!

Trent Navigation aka The Big Shed seems to be the place to watch if not attending the match ..... though drink and food prices appear higher that I would want to pay. Probably cheaper places not as lively.

That's an English Fiveteamer if I ever seen one!

this is Yuge

Here it is below ..... list of Champion League previous known as European league winners with number of titles. Yes two for NF and nowhere to be found Brighton or Newcastle. Surprisingly only one less than mighty ManU and one more than ManC.

Historic success though small on their side that old NF farts around my age must have stories to tell to the younger supporters.
A few brews in and the stories probably become more vidid to one's imagination.

Real Madrid 15
Milan 7
Liverpool 6
Bayern München 6
Barcelona 5
Ajax 4
Man Utd 3
Inter 3
Chelsea 2

Nottm Forest 2
Benfica 2
Juventus 2
Porto 2
Man City 1
B. Dortmund 1
Feyenoord 1
Marseille 1
Aston Villa 1
Hamburg 1
Crvena Zvezda 1
FCSB 1
PSV 1

Win or lose proud, devoted fans indeed!

Hours to go till kickoff but let's get some practice in beforehand ....

Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
Far have I travelled and much have I seen
Goodison, Anfield are places I've been
Maine Road, Old Trafford still echo to the sound
Of the boys in the red from the City Ground
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
Passing the leather like Clougie's great men
Please take us back to the days I knew then
Games when we sang in the Nottingham choir
When we thrashed the sheep from Derbyshire
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
Smiles in the sunshine, Football like champagne
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
And a new squad of players for us to inspire
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground

Looking forward to have a rooting interest now. I’m going to bet a small amount on them also. I bet them +138

 

[Archie]

now you and brick landers share the same fave team!

anyways.... good luck!

Manager suspended this match but should not be an issue. Santo I think has them going in the right direction.

Hope they win so you collect a little cash. Like I posted before with Forest probably be majority of low scoring matches with plenty of draws.

Yes Brighton and NewUnited could be by seasons end anywhere from 4th to 12th while Forest grouped in anywhere from 11th to 20th though I don't see them being relegated. Back in top division with owner now spending 60-70M for team salary compared to 20-25M while in lower division.

That Anderson kid is sharp

A few good chances so far.

A few good chances so far.

Yeah the first 10 minutes I was waiting for Nottingham to do something offensively. The last 13 minutes, they have had chances

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

So The Weekend is at the game

 

[MrMonkey]

One off the post by both teams so far.
