Help an old boy out. I have a distinct memory of an away game at Forest, in the 80s and we won.

We sang ' five years, it's only taken five years' because we hadn't won an away game on a Saturday for...you guessed it, 5 years.

Is this accurate or have I made the 5 year thing up?

I seem to remember us winning there, around 1981.1-0, Caton free kick?

John Robertson: Former Scotland, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest winger dies aged 72

Former Scotland, Nottingham Forest and Derby County winger John Robertson - once described by manager Brian Clough as "a Picasso of our game" - dies at the age of 72.

A big character at Forest in his day.

A bit more motivation for them.

I thought that initially. But I don't think so, really. He'll mean nothing to any of the players. To some of the old timers on the terraces, for sure. The crowd might be more up.

This is from the City website just now, I know there seems to be an extra 'be' but that implies its not on TV.

however, as you confirmed above it is !

The game will be not be
shown live in the UK, but you
can keep across all of the
action via mancity.com and
our official app, as well as
the key moments on X/

Would love to see a Nico G and Rodri double pivot in, what will be, a tricky away game. If he's fit, I'd much prefer that than starting Rodri as the 6 alone

Rodri shouldn’t be starting games just yet. We’ve got another half of a season to play. I hope Pep and the team are focusing on getting him 100% fit instead of throwing him into deep end.

Indeed and I agree - but the tendency has been to start him as a lone 6, when he's available this season.

How do fans know if he's fit or not? Obviously we should be cautious but I think City know that.

It's a huge boost to know that he's close
