Everyone in the UK knows Forest are a HUGE club. Always well supported, large and loud away fans no matter what league we are in. It is now, that we have an owner and manager with talent, vision and resources, that we are thankfully challenging again at the top end of English football. The Clough years were a dream. I was there as a 14 year old starting 87 - 92 and we were a top 6 team, who were in regular FA Cup Semi Finals and Finals as well as winning 2 League Cups - beating Chelsea 7-0 for example in a league game. The Mid 90's we has a great team - and Stan Collymore is still the best striker I have ever seen with my own eyes, and I have seen a lot of Football. This Club now gives me huge pride. From Top to Bottom we are together. Some great players, but more importantly, a team spirit that makes them greater than the sum pf their parts. See you in the Champions League. Forest are BACK..... and here to stay. YOOOUUUUUU REEEEEEDDSS!

[@johnrichmond8978]

'Everyone in the UK knows Forest are a HUGE club.' No. No. No no no no no. No. That's a wicked lie. Why do you lie? The ONLY thing of note about F*rest is that they are lucky enough to be near to the Real Stars of the East Midlands. The glory boys. The heroes who saved football. The world's favorite club. Let me tell you ONE THING about Nottingham my friend...it's REAL name is Snotingham. Yes! They keep that little secret quiet don't they? Eh? The hovel had to change it's name because everyone was laughing at them and decent noble cities like, like say Leicester City for example; objected to Snotingham having such a REPULSIVE name. These are just cold hard facts. They are intruders in the Premier League and EVERYONE will be happy to see them back down where they belong, and that place is anywhere beneath Leicester!

[@timothyphoenix1081]

Yes, it isn't fair to say we completely dropped off after winning the European Cup the second time. From 87-92 Clough built what was known as his second Forest team, without Taylor. It was known for great passing football and won 4 cup competitions (2 League and 2 Full Members, which was the competition created because English clubs were banned from Europe). We also lost another League Cup final and an FA Cup final and finished 3rd. When we were relegated under Clough it was one of the biggest shocks seen in English football - NO ONE predicted it because we were considered a top 6 club. It was like Spurs or Arsenal going down today. The phrase "Too good to go down" started with that Forest team which had several England internationals and Roy Keane. When we returned immediately, we finished 3rd, which would have qualified us for Champions League if it happened a season later. Instead, we played UEFA Cup and reached the quarter finals, losing to Bayern Munich on aggregate but drawing the first leg. It's important to remember this 10 year period from roughly 87-97. We were still a far bigger club than Chelsea and Man City during this period (and did it without the huge influx of money they had).

[@bigwhitewill4974]

Proud Forest fan here, always loved your videos and now my club is the main focus. My first memory as a child growing up was watching ole gunnar solksjaer score 4 goals off the bench as Man U smashed us 8-1 at home. I had a season ticket through some of the most dire football I’ve ever witnessed including not scoring at home for a record time in our history. But the season 21-22 when we came from relegation bottom place to play off winners was the most special year of my life. Every home victory was so electric with world class atmosphere, and we will never match that same atmosphere the more our home supporters are shifted out for tourists. But nuno this season has brought back such belief in my city it’s great, and it feels just like 21-22 again, maybe we can do the unthinkable…

It is hard to keep winning if clubs like Real Madrid or Man City come knocking and asking for your top players. Football leagues need teams like Leicester City or Brighton in order to keep up TV ratings and fan interest. What would happen if there was a spending cap ? Where would that leave Chelsea or City ? It is good for all the faithful Nottingham Forest supporters to finish in the top 4 because that's what sports is all about.

[@716_ハディくん]

always blaming Real Madrid aren't we ? hahaha it's hard being the biggest club in the world

[@MCFCTheMadHatter]

I don’t mean to be pedantic about spending, but didn’t NF just get found guilty if FFP breaches? I’m not sure you should be wagging your proverbial finger at clibs who spend when not only have you done the same, but you’ve been found guilty of breaking the rules. Also, in the last 5 years, MU, Arsenal, Chelsea and NU have all spent more than City on a gross basis and on a net basis, we’re 9th. Personally I think the idea of FFP is nothing more than a caste system to keep the red cartel at the top. But given how my team has been derided and excoriated by innumerable football fans as cheats for spending and breaking FFP (we have not been found guilty yet btw), I find it rich that a NF fan decides to take a dig at City about spending.

[@TreeSymphony52]

@MCFCTheMadHatter I'm not a Nottingham Forest fan. I didn't say anything against spending. I said some clubs are rich. You don't own Manchester City. You are a true supporter who feels that other fans are unfairly targeting your club . Everyone knows City won big trophies 🏆. However, no team is above the law. Chelsea was hit with a transfer ban. Everton received points deduction. Juventus was relegated for breaking the rules. Manchester City is not above the law just because they have a great manager, stadium, and owner. Stop being so sensitive. Chelsea owner had to sell the team because Russia invaded the Ukraine 🇺🇦. City fans want respect from other fans. It's not going to happen because you don't have any football heritage.

[@petar.stoyanov]

"you can control, you can pass, you can run. Just do these three things". Brian Clough to Roy Keane, before his Forest debut against Liverpool. Roy Keane stated many times he made a career out of this advice. Glad to see Forest BACK. I hope their form remains and they remain as a PL regular, not just bare survivor.

Clough’s Forest job was right off the back of being sacked after only 42 days at Leeds. This seems less insane today, as managers getting sacked quickly isn’t too uncommon now, but back then, that was unheard of and deemed humiliating, especially as he replaced Leeds manager Don Revie, who was considered one of the best managers of the age and had won Leeds the league

Yea but everyone knew those Leeds players were utter cunts that couldn't win anything without at least a teeny tiny bit of cheating going on. Shame really

[@darylmckay]

I'm a lifelong Liverpool supporter, but I fondly remember the days when we battled Nottingham Forest and Everton for supremacy. It was edge of the seat stuff, these teams were so damned good. As a New Zealander I also love that our national captain, Chris Wood, is getting the accolades he has long deserved and the opportunities to show how good he can play in a system that works for him in a premier league team not currently battling for survival, or as an untrusted bit part player for a big team.

The post Taylor period was not as bad as the video portrays. UEFA Cup loss due to a ref being bought. FA Cup Finals, 2 more EFL Cups trophies, FA Cup semi finals. Forest were consistently in the top 6 and had it not been for the UEFA ban on English clubs, thanks Liverpool, there would have been more European adventures. For sure Cloughie should have gone 1 or 2 seasons before he did, but overall his 18yrs at the club was a success.
