Senile old **** Rico, if you've seen eight relegations then you've seen seven promotions. You thinking of pegging it next year?! ;-) The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Not if they were relegated 2 divisions in succession before any promotion in between. Seems we just did that - pl to champ to L1.
After the way they play a red and cheated against us I’ve no sympathy but this is bloody tough take **** em Countdown to disaster will haunt Forest's fans for years All fans like to think of their club as uniquely problematic, no matter how successful they might be. Manchester City supporters still fondly imagine they follow a team of underdogs who always find ways to mess up, even when the reality is title after title, Pep Guardiola as manager and the wealthiest owners in the league. Liverpool fans think their team do it the hard way, although they had the title as good as won in January and led their last Champions League final from the third minute against a team who finished 26 points south in the same division. Spare a thought, though, for the supporters of Nottingham Forest. On Wednesday they found a means of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory that may live in their battle-scarred memories for decades. Forest began the night with a simple task: draw at home to Stoke. If they had done that, it would have guaranteed a place in the promotion play-offs. Task two: just don't lose heavily. Forest kicked off three points and five goals better than Swansea, who were playing Reading. As long as they didn't lose with a six-goal swing, Forest were in the top six. This is how the night unfolded. 17min: Swansea 1-0 up. Forest in play-offs by one point. 19min: Stoke 1-0 up. Forest in play-offs by +3 goal difference. 43min: Swansea 1-1. Forest in play-offs by two points. 61min: Forest 1-1. Forest in play-offs by three points. 66min: Swansea 2-1 up. Forest in play-offs by one point. 73min: Stoke 2-1 up. Forest in play-offs by +3 goal difference. 78min: Stoke 3-1 up. Forest in play-offs by +2 goal difference. 84min: Swansea 3-1 up. Forest in play-offs by +1 goal difference. 90+1min: Swansea 4-1 up. Swansea in play-offs by +4 goals scored. 90+6min: Stoke 4-1 up. Swansea in play-offs by +1 goal difference. And that last one? It was an own goal. So if you think your team have found ways to cause anguish this season, compared to Nottingham Forest they are spoofing. Unless you support Wigan, of course, because that's another level of misfortune altogether. please log in to view this image
