Nottingham Forest.
God I love that team.
Despite 20 years of pain and suffering, I am a lifelong fan all because they decided to be amazing when I was a kid.
And yet, despite the long, long trend that means the likelihood is they’ll ultimately disappoint me, I’m super hopeful this season.
We have a good owner, who actually knows how to run a football club.
We have a good manager, who actually knows how to make a team work.
We have good players, who actually have skills that can turn a game.
The impact of these 3 things has been huge on the fans of the club.
More positivity. More belief. More hope.
Of course, it could all go tits up and I end the season even more depressed than I normally am … and I’m slightly concerned that’s also what the Forest hierarchy are thinking, because – as you can see from the picture above – it has come to my attention that our new ‘away kit’, has more than a passing resemblance to a Hooters girl outfit.
Are the owners making sure they will still attract fans if the team fail to get the results … even if the fans are a bunch of neanderthal assholes?
I guess we’ll find out in May.
