Ahead of leicester's seasonal big day out against their more illustrious neighbours tomorrow, here are a few comparisons between Nottingham and that town nobody outside the UK has ever heard of, located....well, somewhere near Nottingham. Enjoy. We have the English Championship in the trophy cabinet. They have only a league cup. We have Carl Frosch. They have Gok Wan. We have the world-renowned Trent Bridge Cricket Ground. They have a park bench and a couple of deck-chairs. We have the FA Cup. They, like Swindon Town, have only a league cup. They have NEXT clothing. We have Paul Smith. We have the historic City Ground, resplendent on the banks of the River Trent. They have the characterless Airfix Arena with its sky-blue seats, built on a retail park somewhere between PC World and Staples. We have the fierce rivalry with Derby County. They have the world famous M69 derby with Cov. We have the European Cup. They, like Oxford Utd, have only a league cup. We have the beautiful Old Market Square, focal point of the city. They have a poxy lego-clock around the corner from Greggs. We have Nottingham Castle. They have Frog Island. Enjoy the game.
At least some remote effort went in to this one Maybe his 'Ctrl', 'C' and 'V' keys have finally worn out
For those not aware ... this poster is our old mate Cushelle (The Charmain Man) under a new, and like most of his posts, not very original, guise ... He is remakably similar to the bathroom product from which he originally took his name: Thick Soft and full of **** but you can't knock the consistency of the product ... it is ALWAYS of the same quality ... He comes to play every now and then because he is very lonely on the Forest board, somewhat relective of his sex life in that both appear to be strictly solo pastimes ... Let's collectively embrace the little love ... there is nothing quite as underrated as a good **** now, is there?
I hope WalshNo5 doesn't get too upset about the league cup thing. It's his main/ only argument for Leicester being a big club. More than we've won but as the OP points out it's really rather **** and terribly unimportant. Serious question; Do Leicester fans honestly see themselves as big as Forest? Surely not.
Carmine - excepting the Brian Clough era the two clubs are relatively similar (same can be said of Derby) - both Derby and Forest have had the priviledge of Brian Clough management taking them from (then) second division obscurity to the first division title and the European campaigns that followed - in Forest's case (winning the European Cup) something that I believe to be a managerial achievement unlikely to ever be surpassed ... But that is now history ... So how do you judge big club? ... if its purely on history then Hull City will forever be in Huddersfield's shadow unless you win the Prem at some point ... to give you an analogy of us to Forest and Derby How about potential then? - Leicester is a bigger City than either Nottingham or Derby population wise - indeed I read somewhere that Leicester is the 10th biggest city in the UK. We only have one league football team in the county - there are 3 in Nottinghamshire (now that Mansfield are back) and 2 in Derby (with also Burton Albion on the border) ... how about on spending power? - currently we have more at our disposal than either Derby or Forest. To be more succinct - have we been more succesul as a football club than Forest or Derby over the full history of each club - no Have we been more successful than either in the last 15 years? - undeniably yes. Have we the potential to be 'as big' or 'bigger' - yes of course - unless you feel that history is the only 'defining' factor of 'big club'.
Who are you trying to convince? you appear so desperate to be a Leicester fan, your even trying to be me...bad luck son, Im taken by me.. quote: "we have a fierce rivalry with derby county"... Two bald men fighting over a comb deep down you know, both you and derby are yesterdays men..we are the future of the east midlands.. by the way, the term "historic" is a well known term estate agents use to describe a broken down s h i t heap...
I was thinking Forest were the bigger club but the real deal has spoken. Forest 0 Leicester 1. Did you know the tasty 40 something newsreader Julie Etchingham comes from Leicester? You can use that one in future. In fact that makes it 0-2 to the Foxes
I wasn't referring to the score tomorrow. More a game of one upmanship in my own little world. Notts Forest( is it right they hate being called that?) equals Jason Lee and a pineapple. Leicester equals the lovely Julie. Leicester winning. I like this game.
Leicester has 2000 years of history, Nottingham wasn't even around when kings were visiting. Leicester also has a rich history and not made up legends stolen from Yorkshire! Yup I think you've lost that one sheep dip or whatever the hell your real name is
A Forest fan spat at Lloyd Dyer when Anthony Knockaert scored That shows the class of Forest fans. Racist disgusting scum
You missed off the biggest difference between us... We are in the playoffs and you are certainly not King Billy!!!!
When the fixtures came out at the start of the season before a ball was even kicked, I (& many other City fans Im sure) looked at the Forest away game last game of the season and thought very tasty, imagine if there was something riding on that.....then imagine if we got a last minute against Forest to knock them out of the play off and for us to get in them.....ooooooooooooooooooo Roy of the rovers stuff....and it happened. What a day. Now back to business on Thursday better let the nails grow back in time for them to start biting them again. Has this saved Pearsons bacon?!
