      We, Malta, got our freedom from Uk in 79. We would have been worse if we stayed and had Thatcher pulling the strings with the governor.

      Come on Reds. More excuses to beat them, not that we need them. Henderson's father was a miner?! If so, he knows well about this.

      Alisson, Milner, Gomez, Konate, Kostas, Jones, Keita, Elliott, Taki, Origi and Bobby

      That's the team I'd go with

      I just can’t believe it’s been 23 years since we’ve played them, I mean 23 years ? Can’t honestly get my head round that, the games for a spectacle were superb, two great sides built by two great managers, a lot of people didn’t like Clough, still don’t even though he’s frog up, but I did, he just told it as it was and that’s the way things should be, no airs or graces, if he didn’t like you, he’d tell you straight,

      He was a one off Clough, he riled ppl, because they didn’t like his demeanour, but him and Peter Taylor built that Forest side from nothing to become European cup winners..twice..and back in the days where it was straight knockout, that was some feat, the biggest losers were Leeds, under Revie they were a great side too, but they had a close shop mentality and wouldn’t accept changes Clough was making, I think he lasted 27days something like that…. Anyhoo….

      That 5-0 was probably one of our best ever performances, against a very good side, looking forward to tonight it’s a cup tie so anything can happen.


      23 years ffs !!

      Think I might go for 5-0 today, or possibly 4-0 as we’re away 😂

      Not sure Forrest fabs really know just how good we can be. Certainly note Arsenal standard, which seems to be giving them some confidence.
      Well one of us are certainly in for a shock. Depends on what 11 Jürgen starts with 🤷‍♂️

      It has to be the strongest team playing tonight, there is No footy for the next week or 2.

      Apparently the draw takes place at around 5ish today for those wondering. Imagine it will be shown as part of the pre match coverage of our game

      Miners strike mate, Notts miners broke the picket lines, hence the Scab calling, back in those days work forces had power, especially the miners, they were the power houses of unions, Thatcher got miner fighting miner, the Miners had built a trust fund for families to use in times of strikes, so as to feed families long term,Thatcher the f***in bi*ch used her powers to have those funds ceased, virtually taking food from miners kids mouths, eventually the Notts miners gave in and broke picket lines, Scabs,

      Thatcher was a total cnut, typical Tory, didn’t give a F**k about working class, nothing has changed, Google Orgreave mate, then you’ll get a idea what Thatcher and her bootboy coppers did for the health & safety of workers in this country, ordinary tax paying workers, trying to support their families!!!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

      Off topic but those Notts turncoats did the working man no favours.
      As an ex-miner whose father, also a miner, died during the strike those memories have got me F***ing riled.
      How the F**k those cu*ts are in power in this day and age is totally wrong.

      Clough went down in my estimations after his comments about hillsbrough though his trophy haul is impressive.
      As for the ‘scabs’, I don’t really know where to start on that. My family were all miners and would strike except for my uncle who once went in as he could no longer afford to feed his family. Without pay he was given £14 a week and even though my grandad bailed him out a bit he struggled. Not saying that’s what happened in Nottingham but not all ‘scabs’ should be humiliated further.

      As for the game today will be interested to see what team goes out and who is at right back? I have a feeling it will be Gomez.

      Liverpool has a long memory where social injustice is concerned and those involved reap what they sow, time is of no consequence.

      No excuses not to field a strong team today with the break coming up, so hopefully a few goals, still, I find myself nervous for some reason, more nervous than I’ve been for a few of our recent PL games.

      Having trounced the Arse 0-2 in their own yard your nerves should be well in order.

      How many Forest games you been? Plenty of digs about it today. Will be a tasty atmosphere. They're going to be well up for it. Just saying now plenty of "F**k the tories" and slagging off of Thatcher today.

      They absolutely hate being called Notts Forest  :lmao: :lmao: From back in the day when they were huge rivals and we played them so many times, we had some crazy times at the City Ground, gutted that this match is only half an hour from where I live yet I have no ticket  :(
      We certainly have the quality and experience to batter these but somehow I have a feeling it might be a tight tough game, god I hope I'm wrong. Still take us to win though.
