they are probably the best story in the history of English football, certainly post-war.

 

 

Certainly not. Ipswich and Burnley early 60s, Ipswich being the better story. :lol: Sorry, man, they hit it out of the park.

 

Forest under Clough?

Or even Cloughie getting Forest promoted to Division 1 and then within 2 years winning the League and European Cup.

I hope to hell they go all out against Sevilla mind and don't play weakened sides. They'll have plenty of chance to play in the Premier League again even if they do go down. They're probably never going to play in the Champions League again.

:lol: Shit. I'll tell you how embarrassing that omission is. I was living in Nottingham at the time and went to see some of their matches. :blush:

Was football such a closed shop back then though? With the difference between the haves and the have-nots quite so staggering?

 

That's the difference for me. 2 or 3 examples from the same sort of era. It's taken 30 years to replicate or better that and God knows when it'll happen again.

Aye, pretty sure you could finish near the top one season and the next finish bottom. For all that we say in the Premier League anyone could beat anyone, pre-Premier League the games were much more of a gamble.

I was at Highfield Road as a 9 year old when they clinched it with a 0-0. Will never forget a save Peter Shilton pulled off from a point blank Mick Ferguson header.

Giggs is ridiculous.

 

Did he take note of the fact that Clement was humble enough to go to Derby previously, and at least got some managerial experience in this country at that level first?

 

Lets look at the Huddersfield manager as an example. If he gets a prem job next season this moron will be whinging again, but why didn't he go and take the Huddersfield job? Wasn't fancy enough eh?

 

Get out of here man.

There are so many poor British managers or coaches and most all seem to get another cushy job whenever they fail. Big Sam, Pardew etc. Yes there are too many foreign managers and coaches and indeed players, but that's because they are fucking better in most ways. English football is so ignorant and dated it's actually laughable. The culture of our game from top to bottom is loathesome.
