I can't think of another club that's been as entertaining opposition as Forest have been over the last two seasons. Except Barnsley, but that's been pretty one-sided in their favour. - 2-2 at their place to re-open our Championship away campaign - end-to-end football and that brawl that got us fined £25k or whatever it was. - 4-1 at Elland Road where it was a relatively even game yet we still crushed them and they went home crying after the Chris Cohen tackle that could have broken George McCartney's leg, and Grayson running onto the pitch incensed. - 4-0 at the City Ground with the 11 minutes of Speedo tributes before the left footed goal, among others including the Howson screamer. - 3-7 at ER... revenge... say no more. Two best-decorated teams in the division historically, both been whacking the living **** out of each other last couple of seasons in the transitional phase, and now we're both the subject of Middle Eastern takeovers from small Gulf states - us from Bahrain, them from Kuwait. Might add a bit of spice and competition for next season. Anyone else looking forward to them just as much/more than Wednesday, Millwall, Cardiff and Udders, or are they just another second flight club?
Plus they only bring a rickshaw's worth of fans to Elland Road, makes the banter seriously ****. Is that why they come on here so much, to compensate?
By the way that first game back at the City ground finished 1-1, still a great game though. We were absolutely battered early on, but got back into the game with Sam's goal, and then looked like the more likely to win it. Even in the 4-1, they still managed to score a good goal and make it interesting with 10 men, and the abuse directed at Billy Davies added to that game.
Remember it well, Bradders whipped in a brilliant cross. It was the first sign of Kasper's wanderlust as well when they hit the post at 1-0 seconds before the sending off.

Oh yeah, 1-1. Forgive me, I was watching it in an internet cafe in Italy with terrible streaming quality, so my memory of it is a little blurry.
