Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Been watching the L2 football on SKY, thought I'd way up the potential opposition for next season. Currently Salford 2-2 Mansfield, not been too bad, Gary Neville is there watching, being part owner, didn't realise though Mansfield's manager now was Nigel Clough, I'm sure you all know son of Brian Clough.

 

I think nigel played for us at one point..

His dad's a ****in dickhead

 

Clough Snr won back to back European Cups with Forest. A football legend.
Nige, cashed in on his dads fame.

 

Yeh thats fine he can be both

 

You are right, Nigel Clough did play for Liverpool, but I appear to have no memory of it.

I liked Brian Clough, another one for the neutrals, to drag a club like Forest into winning the European Cup.

I think it was Forest that were also cheated by match fixing and a bent referee, only to be admitted some decades later. Can't remember who the cheating team were, my brain is saying Athletico, but think that's wrong. Either that or the whole thing was a false memory.

Only gripe I had with Cloughie was spending a £1M on Trevor Francis, which opened the door for silly money transfers, albeit some might argue Clough would never of won the EC without him (Francis).

 

Anyway going to watch the scum Port Vale play Newport now, hoping the latter wins, but I will probably fall asleep.

 

Boom... 0-1 Newport after only a couple of mins.

 

i have vague memories of an expletive filled press conference where he referred to "****ing cheating Italian bastards" .

 

Thanks Bob ... at risk of sounding just a tad bias ... Bob is undoubtedly and unequivocally correct

Way I would judge it is by the amount of congratulations we received from other team's supporters ... was almost universal and quite overwhelming ... the exception being a few Spurs fans (not surprisingly - let's face it, was the closest they'd got in decades) and there were actually loads of Spurs fans that were magnanimous and gracious too ...

 

that was what it was meant to be in the original plan .

 

Oh dinky dinky dinky.

 

Brian Clough has enormous respect amongst Leicester fans ... which sums up how brilliant he was ... got both Derby and Forest promoted to the top tier and on to win the title... what he achieved was phenomenal ... he built those first Derby and Forest sides that won titles on a comparative shoestring compared to the budgets that the 'big clubs' had ...

 

that doesn't explain why you said foden?

 

Didn't Foden get dropped earlier in the season, as his form dropped off, Pep blaming his socialising habits with Grealish?????

 

Blueys slowly been turning Into a man city fan now the chavs are in purgatory and thinks we aint noticed.

 

Oh dinky dinky dinky.

 

You okay mate?

 

what a way for him to bounce back. Maybe soon the pundits will call him Phil out of blue tinted respect.

 

Oh dinky dinky dinky.
