Nottingham Forest – A Team that time forgot.


Another in the long line of clubs that have gone down the pyramid of English football. The sad fact is that they haven’t had the money or the coaching since Clough left, and then well, died. It’s sad for someone who loves the game as much as I do, I’d love to see them and Aston Villa be good again. But that’s not going to happen, unless they get Oil money.

They were so good in the 70′s and 80′s. It’s almost sad to see them in the lower leagues and not up, making a mess of the EPL, and making younger Liverpool fans hate them more. Because I’m not in the UK, I don’t have the deep seated hatred of the club like most of my LFC Brethren. I don’t need another team to hate, in fact I should do a blog of just the English clubs I hate.
