Nottingham Forest FC

I don’t like hormones, there are hormones in beef and lamb and chicken, but Notinham, especially if the Pigs were reared in a wooded area, such as the Notinham Forest. When they’re on the field and you want them to score a goal, just yell «Run, Forest, Run!»
Ha. Ha. Ha.
First-​Hand Experience: I’ve seen Nottingham Forest play live in person 8 times (I think? It might be nine) so that qualifies me as a «Forest expert» and not in a Lumberjack sense, but in a footy sense. I’m no «fan» of the team, but I really respect them and their excellent, loud, intense support and their incredible success over the years. Absolutely brilliant club on every level. They deserve to be back in the big time, and the sooner that happens, the better.
One of the truly great provincial clubs of the UK, and one of the biggest teams not currently in the Prem, and in fact they haven’t been for a long time. Probably only Leeds United are bigger, and have been out for longer… and maybe the Sheffield teams. Derby have been up and down and in and out of the Prem, but Forest? Not since 1999 have they been playing Premier League football, and we miss them.
They play in bright red and remind me of a super cute girl I know in Notts called Kerry. They are a rival of both Derby and Leicester and of course Notts Co who haven’t been good for a long time. They play directly across the river from Notts Co.
They have only won the Prem once, back in 1978, and that was due to Brian Clough, the genius that also won it with Derby. Absolutely amazing for a little club like this to win a trophy like that. But then they only went and shocked the entire world…
By winning the European Cup (now the Champions League) in 1979. And though they didn’t win the league ever again (you have to win the league to get in it), they were invited back the following year because the holders get to play in it again… and they only went and won it again! And Liverpool were in it too and they still managed to win it, in 1980. So in 3 years, Clough won one Premier League and two Champions Leagues… with NOTTINGHAM FOREST.
Let that sink in for a minute. It would be like the current team of Southampton winning the Premier League, then winning the Champions League two years in a row. It’s insane.
They’ve also won the FA Cup twice 1898 and 1959, and have won 4 League Cups, all of them under Brian Clough… 78, 79, 89 and 90. So he actually won 7 major honours which is even more amazing… and five in those three magical seasons. They won the European Super Cup in 79 too.
Clough was manager for almost 1,000 games and for 18 years, too, which is unprecedented really. He’s up there with Alex Ferguson and people like that, he has to be. So in 18 years they only had one manager, and then in the 22 years since then they have changed manager TWENTY THREE times. Insane.
Yet they’ve never had Nigel Clough come in.
So even though I like Derby better, I’m going to give this legendary club a big 5 star rating. And dear Unilocal,please remove «City Ground» from this listing, it has its own listing.

What is there to say but NOTTINGHAM FOREST!!! I have been a season ticket holder fir the 4 years and yes they mess with your heart but its worth it: D

Only the greatest football club in the land. I want 12 time last season, saw some highs, and some lows, but the team pulled it off at the end of the day. and we only finished 1 point behind Derby! I will definitely be shouting the boys on next season as we hope to climb the championship and return back to the Premiership, where we belong. YOU REDS.
