Somehow I don't think we're gonna turn that vote around lol

 

[jammy]

As much as I love Forest, and how it pains me to say it, but best team ever would be stretching it

Because they're the most recent, and most people voting on this shitty Sun poll will probably be unable to remember what happened last week, nevermind the Leeds team of 68-69.

Conversations like this are always silly.

The Forest team of the late 70s early 80s would be awful in today's game, where fitness is of paramount importance and you can't get away with some of the more 'robust' challenges that Messrs Burns and Lloyd specialised in.

Equally, if you took this year's United team back to then, made them play on lumpen pitches with little or no protection from the referee, playing regardless of waterlogged or frozen pitches, with a ball significantly heavier - then I think you'd find Forest might do quite well.

I don't think those who weren't around then or support Forest now imagine it as the equivalent as Blackpool winning the European cup twice. Just that we won it ! Imagine how different things would of been if Norwich had beaten them !

 

[Lyttle Des]

well 99% of the uk and ireland support man u so its gona be a one horse race

So if we have 9% and man utd have 99%, where does the other 2% come from. I was always told to give 110% when i played football?

 

[grimmy2009]

we are up to 10% ;D

Puts us forth. Ironically the arsenal team that went unbeaten are just in 3rd. funny how it was our record they had to break

Don't ya think !

 

[winnits]

Well yeah, I really do think!

Polls like this are pointless as they only reflect recent events. Most of the voters are probably not old enough to remember anything pre-Premiership.

Personally I would go for the Scouse team of the late 70s early 80s - much as it pains me to say it. They won everything over a sustained period of time.

 

[Randy Bumgardener]

Well yeah, I really do think!

I'm struggling to find a way to add ''IT'S LIKE RAAAAAAAAAAAIIIINNNNN'' into my next comment, so won't bother !

 

[Jonathan]

You just did...

 

[Randy Bumgardener]

11%

Edit, No you can't

 

[mouldy]

How can Man Utd be running away with it

 

[T.B.T.]

We're at 12% now. Keep voting. ;D

 

[Joe]

wheres mj?

 

[Randy Bumgardener]

Just waiting for the sheep botherers to discover it and report it to teacher ! :wink:

 

[RRRREDUN]

Impossible and futile to compare teams of different eras. It's horses for courses. If Forest were required to be more athletic/faster/stronger etc back in the late 70s, our marvelous manager would have ensured that we were. As it was, he assembled a team to compete with the best at that time; not a team to compete with a new breed of player not yet seen.

 

[Eddie]

We're at 12% now. Keep voting. ;D

Up to 13% now :wink:
