Let me guess, it was proposed by Sheff Weds who’d been in the 3rd division for about 10 years. Nice try. Do one.

West Ham had been struggling in the top division for many years, got relegated and finished as second tier champions just before 1982.

Super league? Absolute madness.

Never even won the league 😏

3 FA Cups & f*** all else of note & they're considered a big club. Do me a favour. At least Everton, Newcastle & Sheff Wednesday have/had a decent trophy cabinet.

I can only suspect that was some mug who was thinking about West Ham players and their success for England in the 1966 World Cup.

Although it was 16 years later, he hadn't forgotten. Reminiscing with rose tinted glasses.

Anyone know if Dean Court is still standing? I know we're not playing there this weekend, just concerned after it was completely devastated by the last stiff breeze and I'm sure they've only just finished rebuilding.

I don't suppose anyone knows the name Trevor Bartlett?
He was a long time photographer for the Nottingham Post and someone who became close friends with Brian Clough through his job.
I knew him through my Dad who became friends with him through them both drinking in the Nurseryman.
Well, I've just had a call from my Dad, and Trevor was killed on Tuesday this week, he had been for a couple of drinks in the Nurseryman and was hit by a Police Van as he crossed over Derby road.

I don't know him but the story has been quite prominent, there is a good photo of him and Cloughie which I've seen. Terribly sad news.

Everyone ready for the most unexpected & random bit of news they'll hear? Probably ever.

Ok.

Search down the list of confirmed visitors to Epstein's Island and see if you can spot it 😅

Maybe you're in on the joke, and maybe others know too, but just in case - that's an old list been doing the rounds for a couple of years. I think it started as a list of famous people who got covid but the reasoning has changed many times and new names get added constantly at random. It's basically a list of names with no substance or connection to anything Epstein

I assumed it was a joke based on the lad who posted it on Twitter.

Amused me nonetheless. I would have put Jonjo on there personally- more believable 😭😂

The BBC have just confirmed that in 1982 a British Super League was proposed. Forest had won the European cup twice & the league in the 3 years prior. Yet the proposal had Sheffield Wednesday, Manchester City, Newcastle, Spurs and West Ham there instead of us.

Goes to show just how we were viewed even back then.

Absolutely baffling for a 40 year old like me who was only born a year after this. How could you possibly propose a league that doesn't contain the recent 2 time European champions?!?!

Baffling.

I remember Trevor-I think he did a bit of reporting on Forest in the ’Evening Post’ and
‘Football Post’ as well as photography.
R.I.P.
