Nottingham Forest in 96-97, after finishing 3rd and getting to the quarter finals of the UEFA cup a few seasons earlier. Then they came back up and got relegated again.

From the Whitley forum

Or as it's now known "The Nando's bird"

3 points is the absolute minimum. Although the easiest way to get those would be with one lucky win and we've won less games than anyone else in the league including West Brom and Boro.

At least the fact we got a point from last night means we're back to it being possible for us to get out the dropzone in the space of one result. Sadly on last night's performance it's difficult seeing us scoring another goal before the end of the season. Both us and Hull have got two games which can pretty much written off and two games which on paper could be winnable. We need to get three more points out of those games than they do, and the only way I can really see that happening is if we manage to beat Boro and they don't get another point. That's assuming Liverpool and Villa don't rape our goal difference something rotten

If anything Fulham are going to be even harder to break down, really can't see us getting points from anyone but Boro. Guess Ashley will probably be forced to sell if we go down, bet he wishes he'd snapped some hands off just before he took us off the market.

Can't see us scoring another goal this season.

That's what I thought he said as well at first Hope it's a fucking transplant.

Our only hope is that a goal, however flukey will give us the confidence and make us believe we can actually put the ball in the fucking net.

For fucks sake. We can't take our chances at 0-0, we can't hold onto a lead and we can't come back from a goal down. Even if we kept Owen, Martins et all I couldn't see us setting the championship on fire.

Think I might take up self harming.

Fucking hell, even when David James hands us the ball...

Hope the players don't feel like I do.

Wish we'd take some of these fucking chances. Feels like I'm watching a horror movie as a kid rather than a football match

Such a shite shot it fooled the ref into giving a corner because he thought it must have hit someone.

What a chance.

i think barton will replace him. alan just didn't want to put barton on too early Well he's put Butt on too late, about 10 years too late.

Really frustrating watching us on the break, thinking what kind of move we could be making if we had midfielders who could run and/or pass.

Nicky Butt down

Can't believe I had to give my ticket away for this. Come Onnnnnn!

Looking at St James' now and it's pissy wet and miserable. The soft southern poofs won't like that Probably best for my blood pressure that I can't make this game...

Mate of mine was at the West Brom match, he was fucking delighted to see the mackems get turned over.

Think it might have been the Back Page lot who were drinking outside the pub we were in down at West Ham, along with some kid of about 13 absolutely pissed off his tits and trying his best to get nicked off the local coppers or shot off the local gangsters

No, no, he capped a bobby and got nicked.
