If John McGoven came round my gaff and offered me a free t-shirt I'd be like Oi, John, Nooooo. I respect your ability to drag no-mark clubs to the pinnacle of European football that will be remembered for all time but this is a t-shirt factory and we have enough t-shirts alllreadddy. Etc.
But anyway, that was a pub and they probably like having memorabilia on the wall. Again, good Madri all round.
I was somewhat baffled by the fossetalk posts about us playing ugly. Yes, we let the opposition have the ball and defend with numbers and structure, but we attack with pace and numbers, with the ball on the floor. We have inventive ball-players, and carriers, all over the park. I think we’re absolutely terrific to watch. I know it’s required of them to be pissed off that we’re good, but it just seems like such a strange line of attack.
I think that's been in our DNA ever since I started watching Forest in the late 1980s. Sure, different managers have played different ways, but the ability to soak up pressure and then be deadly on the turnover has always been there.
I think very much of Garry Parker's second goal in the 1989 Simod Cup Final here. Des Walker clears an Everton corner almost off his own goal-line, dribbles away from goal, feeds Nigel wide left and deep, who pings a first-time pass to Parker who runs the length of the pitch before smashing it past Southall. Back to front in about 10 seconds. Glorious.
We were sticking it to the establishment because we are the rebel city. Robin Hood would have been all over giving King Richard shit on twitter given half a chance, he'd have been considering his options all over the shop with Friar Tuck in his pocket.
Leicester literally robbed from the poor to pay for their success.
Edit: Possibly King John, or both of um. Either way, both cunts.
