True story, I was in the Albany club in Stabbo one night when 2 random blokes started having a heated conversation which almost came to blows, when they had been separated I spoke to a mate who closer to the dispute, he told me they were arguing about who was the better player Sammy Chapman or Franz Beckenbauer !!

Typical Sky Sports Six fan bollocks.
Entitled, whiney and having massive meltdowns as they are not challenging for the title for the first time in ages.

I thought Sammy played very well in 76/77 (sometimes alongside Larry Lloyd).

Me too-many Forest fans of a certain vintage would probably put ISM and Robbo in their best all time eleven.

Sammy had a reputation as a clogger and a nutter but there was much more to his game than that, and yes, from what I remember he did play some kind of hybrid sweeper/defender position in the promotion season - Clough apparently acknowledged how key to the team he had been.
As you say what a season, long may it continue!

Glad you’ve confirmed that recollection of mine. When Cloughie decided to let Sammy go ahead of the return to Division 1 he joined County and I remember a letter writer in the Football Post congratulating him on his retirement from football!
And later that season he was on the row in front of me at the League Cup Final.

He was indeed. I've seen him delivering a wagon for Asda before.

They're heads have absolutely gone...sooner they get sent back to the Championship in disgrace with the legacy of the past 15 years in absolute tatters, the better. Any semblance of the values that club used to embody and represent died a long time ago.

The chap on the Forest Focus podcast preview episode came across rather arrogant I thought aswell. The gist of it was basically "we'll be alright as we'll get Champions League next season if not this, whereas this will probably be your only chance" kinda thing...I had to turn it off after ten minutes or so as couldn't stand listening to it. Matt looked bored/f*ucked off by it too I thought.
What an entitled bunch of moaning b*stards. 1-0 to the famous team

I’m too young for ISM, but John Robertson is always in my all-time Forest XI - he was an absolute magician.

I'm stating the obvious but so many sky six fans don't actually know anything about football.
Apparently a team having a rock solid defence and then using their pacy attackers to hurt the other team doesn't count as playing well because they don't pass it around the back fifty times before going forward.

They must live in some kind of parallel universe, Citeh spent c.£180m in the Jan' transfer window alone. Even if we have spent £350 - can't imagine that we have - - that's small change compared to what they've spent.

Bin VAR!
Thought our net spend over 3 years to build a premier league squad from scratch was about £200m? In other words peanuts vs the cartel clubs!
Ashley
Steve Chettle
Where did he get £350m in the last two seasons from?
Also, a bit rich that a plastic Man City "fan" is criticising anyone for spending money. How much did they recently spend on January panic buys again?

Even if we did spend £350m, what planet are people on that they think that isn't still an amazing achievement to be where we are or in fact anywhere in the Prem.
Do they live under a rock where they imply nobody else spends any money at all?
Chelsea have spent about a billion quid over the same period and are below us
This cartel mentality that they get angry when anyone else throws money does my nut in. They all have full squads that have been assembled for about £1-2 BILLION each. It really does blow my mind when they use it as a sleight because it's so illogical.

Taking my Forest hat off for a moment I enjoyed watching City in past seasons because their football actually went somewhere. Now it's just plain boring, it was the same with England for long periods and international football in general. I like watching passing sides but only if it has some incisiveness.
I don't watch city games anymore because they're an absolute borefest.

Yeah, let's use the fact that we have spent some money which is still billions behind their spend as an argument. It's not even a strawman argument at this point, it's not even a sandman one.

We all know its nonsense if anyone actually sat down and looked at the spend per player than Forest to be where we are is a minor miracle.
My Leeds mate kept ribbing me lightly at work saying we have spent our way there. Which firstly if it were true why would I be arsed cause thats what all teams do and than I actually looked at our 3 years net spend and Leeds 3 years net spend. Than we only spent 20 mill more net than Leeds yet they are champ and we are 3rd. So it shows our recruitment has been unreal really. If we were allowed to drop 200 mill in January wed be so much better than we are now.
City dont take into account also the fact they hoover up all the best young talent in the land by blowing other teams out the water with wages than they sell these academy prospects because they basically have all the best English kids for millions which again gives them an advantage. Also I am not mad at City I love the fact they upset the cartel apple cart just dont get on your high horse about others escpecially when they havent done their maths.
