Last time I went Wayne Clark scored! A lifetime ago.

Last time I went we lost 4-0 and they were European champions (I think).

I was at both of those - in the home seats for Wayne Clarkes goal just total disbelief that he managed to score one - half his total output with us.

For the 4-0 loss I was with a Notts County mate - he was gutted but couldn't believe the way we sang our way through it. Including seamlessly switching "3-0 3-0" to "4-0" when the fourth went in. Fair play to him he is still following County home and away.

and just spotted this on Clarkes Wikipedia page

Some years later, I went on as a half-time substitute for Manchester City at the City Ground and felt a sharp nudge in the back as I was making my way down the tunnel. It came with an unmistakable voice: ‘Young man, you’d have been a better player if you had come and signed for me.’ I smiled, made my way on to the pitch and, mid-way through the half, scored with a diving header to clinch victory. I turned towards the dug-outs and there was Cloughie giving me his distinctive thumbs-up as if to say ‘great goal, son.'”

Cooper moaning about injuries ffs, that's why you have a 40 man squad dickhead. If they hadn't have signed 25 players this season I might have had a bit of sympathy, lol

They have a 35 man squad:

• 3 Keepers - 1 Injured
• 12 Defenders - 5 Injured
• 12 Midfielders - 2 Injured, 1 Doubtful
• 8 Forwards - 1 Injured

We have a squad of 23 players with 1 Injury (John Stones)

Only visit to this place was the infamous Gary Crosby goal out of Dibbles hand. I thought we were unlucky that day and missed a few chances. I remember a little scrum outside after the final whistle near the river and a kind of tunnel. Old Bill on horses came from nowhere twatting everything I site.

Only time I've been to Forest was for the re-arranged fa cup match, that if memory serves me right we lost 2 - 1.

I was there in '95 when they beat us 3-0, early in Alan Ball's tenure. A grim performance. Can't wait for tomorrow, should be a cracking away day.

Just keep winning City.

Probably right from the FIRst.

Pep is at the 'elm.

My last time at Forest was around 1971. We were standing on the Terrace opposite the old main stand chatting to some Forest supporters. Something came on the tannoy referencing Brian Clough, then manager of Derby County, drawing predictable jeers from the crowd. This included the ones we we talking to.

My mate turned to them and said that they were just jealous that he wasn’t managing Forest. They all nodded in agreement!
