Bottom of the league after 7 games.
Worst start in 108 years.
Team down and out.
And yet, since the brilliant Steve Cooper came in as manager, we have fought our way to a position where we are going to Wembley to play in the Championship final with the prize being a seat at the Premiership table.
Last time I saw Forest at Wembley … it was a different millennium and Wembley was a different stadium.
[We lost, thanks to an own goal – in fact the only goal he scored in his entire carer – from Forest defender Des Walker. Not to mention the ref not sending off Gascoigne when he blatantly fouled one of our players so Spurs didn’t end up going down to 10 men. But hey, am I bitter? Errrrrm, yes … yes I am actually]
But all that aside, this is amazing.
As in, truly, truly amazing.
I was definitely scared for a moment … especially when it went to penalties, but we did it.
Win or lose, this is a season that will long live in the memory. Up their with our most glories of glory years.
And yes, I cried. Sue me.
Need to go and lie down, my blood pressure is threatening a nuclear meltdown.
You fucking beautiful reds!!!

Comment by Lee Hill May 18, 2022 @ 9:49 amGiven where Forest were at after the first few games, if they were to win the final – it would be like the Championship version of Leicester.

Comment by andy@cynic May 19, 2022 @ 12:44 amunited manager was a violent prick as well when he pushed the ball in a forest players stomach.
It’s disgusting … fortunately they have caught him and he also faces a lifetime ban from Forest. I hope the same goes for the Sheffield Utd guy caught on camera stamping on a Forest fans head.
As for the SUFC manager, he’s just a dick.
Comment by Rob May 19, 2022 @ 7:43 amTurns out the Sheffield United guy was one of their players!
Morally, promotion should be awarded to Huddesfeld Town.
