Did you see the array of shite that Forest beat to get to the 1980 European Cup final?
I wouldn't say this was an array of shite. if they hadn't topped this lot there's no European Cup win in 1979, ergo, no win in 1980. If anyone thinks this was an easy route to Euro glory, they're deluded. If you lost back then you were out. No second (3rd, 4th) chances. Out. No group stage bullshit. No finishing 4th, 5th, 6th, as has happened with English clubs in last 5 years, and qualifying. You had to win the league. Or, win the european cup and defend it as champion. The teams in it were all champions. This talk of the uefa cup being harder: horseshit. But, back to the original question: yes, I'd drink myself daft. But I'd drink myself dafter if we won the league.
