Correction: the name 'Forest' comes from the Forest Recreation Ground, where the team initially played their games. However, this location used to be part of the Sherwood Forest in the middle ages- which is where the 'Forest' in Forest Recreation Ground comes from! Apologies for the mistake.
None s terrorising nothing you clueless uutber. Literally their owner marinakis,is the biggest greek mafia and more important than their prime minister 😊 Can i have your channel now? You know F nothing man.
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!
'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!
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).
Arne Slot is literally pacing in his basement, with no thought in his mind but to avenge his loss in the league. Forest will be inducted into the Arne Slot Penitentiary, come hell or high water.
@@kaeltkottmirtheir not good enough, unless they do what villa and forest did, overhaul squad, whether slowly or quickly and change manager, that's how ruthless it'll need to be
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.
Good point 👉 I'm LFC til I die , but who could fail to applaud Leicester for winning the league? OTOH, sacking Ranieri within the year left a nasty taste in the mouth , didn't it? 🤌
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 You’re right…you didn’t specifically say anything bad about spending, but you implied it which was so tragically ironic bc your team were found guilty of breaking said rules for doing just that: spending. As for the rest of your nonsensical comment I’m not sure where I should start. City having no footballing heritage is an unequivocally objectively false claim on your part as you clearly have no grasp of history which you not only proved with that foolish claim but by also implying Juve was relegated due to financial transgressions. They were not. They were relegated for allegations of match fixing. Then there’s that little gem of trying, for some odd reason, to say that City somehow think they’re above the law bc they have a great manager a big stadium and our owner? What are you on about? If you’re going to argue with me, argue the points I’ve made and don’t simply throw in a bunch of nonsensical clams that fall completely outside the scope of what I’ve said. That said, I have been very impressed with NF this season and I’ve argued with man City supporters who think NF and NU will fall away are fools for doing so. I think if your manager can keep things together at the back, not only can you beat LFC next, I think you could finish ahead of Arsenal. And as for my lot, love Pep but he’s suffering from such an extreme case of hubris, ego or denial, I don’t think we even crack top 4 bc the refuses to drop our suicidally high backline which always gets exposed bc we have no MF. 29 goals conceded in 15 games is an absolute disgrace and yet he keeps doing it and all the moronic City happy clappers keep cheering it saying how well get top 4 anyway, like it’s our divine right! What a load of nonsense and idiocy. I wish Pep woke up and took a few defensive notes from your manager…
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…
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.
Liverpool supporter here. I love good football and forest are playing good football. They don't have star players who can individually change the game, a manager who is an underestimated genius with brilliant man management and just enough budget to find diamonds in the rough. They have became a formidable force, I'm half jealous of them. I hope to see them competing at the end of the season and next season in Europe because if there is a team that deserves it, it's them.
To be fair, that is named after the Sherwood Forest which used to extend to Nottingham. Though it might not have been actually wooded, as “forest” generally referred to royal hunting grounds

Italian Fiorentina fan here, just want to comment that we are son incredibly proud and gelous of what milenkovic Is achiving at nothingam forest, he didn't turn out to be the world beater and leader we hoped he would (we also played an high press high defensive line scheme last few years that didn't help him) but the guy has always been an example of professionalism and team attachment, went through the multiple tragedies our team went through ( was in the same room as then captain Davide Astori when he died, last year we also lost our sporting director) and was an amazing human being all throughout, played his best game for us in the embarassing lost in the conference league finale against Olympiacos. He Is missed, but we are really proud of him as a fanbase, we are genuinelly happy for him.
Great commentary, very much reflecting how I see this season having followed Forest since the 70s. Now I'm living in New Zealand, Chris Wood's unprecedented form is giving us unparalleled profile over here. It's terrific.
"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.
Forest also donated shirts to AC Milan! The reason we play in red is due to the founders being inspired by the Redshirt fighters of Italian socialist Giuseppe Garibaldi
I have nothing related to UK, haven't been there at all, just remember in school days i was playing 2006 fifa or so, nott forest was in some lower division, probably in league one, i choose it to promote them to premier league and since then it's become my favourite club with big history what i learned after managing it, i was really surprised they got promotion to premier league and now in top 4, some miracle from childhood came true, hope they will stay as top team for a long time
@@rezarfar we were on holiday in the lower leagues and what did they do during the time? That's a rhetorical question because we all know it amounts to less than our promotions :)
@@stayhome2208 don't get big headed mate, you know damn well this isn't going to last, your club doesn't have the infrastructure, the funds or the clout in the transfer market to keep this up, we'll gobble up your good players like we did to Leicester and you'll be relegated again within a matter of years at most. You can make as much noise as you like but the reality is this, your club are trash and have been trash for 80% of their existence 😂. Now pipe down little man 😂.
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.
@@FootballIconic Long detailed entertaining quality videos as I and many see it. One of very few channels I can personally feel where TV is the best device to watch.
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
It's because he told them all to throw their medals in the bin, from cheating bribing the refs. The previous manager was a God to them and a cheat. He wanted another cheat to take over, so he didn't get exposed and it could carry on. But Clough got the job instead. The players made sure he got sacked.
I am a man utd fan and I think whatever happens at the end of this season forest should be awarded the team of the season. They are not rich like the big teams but have played brilliantly with both passion and skill
The historical parts of your videos are truly fascinating and very well researched, narrated and presented..as well as just being really great video uploads in general. Hope to see more, keep up the awesomeness
My grandad is a forest supported. He's supported them for a damn long time. He went to watch them for their clinic win in 1980. We speak a bit about football but nothing too serious and for this season he was expecting to get relegated. I'm sure you can imagine just how stoked he is
Great analysis. Many thanks. Glad to also hear appreciation for Peter Taylor, What a talent spotter. Archie Gemill. John Robertson Gary Birtles in particular.
John Robertson was already at Forest when BC arrived. He was a bit of a lazy midfielder, but BC converted him to a left winger. The rest, as they say, is history...
Lifelong Tricky, season ticket holder for years, moved to New York ( state, not city, )obviously not a season ticket now, was there during the Brian days, and forward. This team gels, like ive not seen since 79/80. Newark on Trent tricky.
I think all the media attention over the stupid contract negotiations have shaken some of the team chemistry. Honestly, at this point, I don't even care. I just want the saga to be done so the season can become the focal point again.
I've been a fan for a couple of years now, and you're by far the best football based youtuber out there! Love these kind of videos where you bring out the different narratives of a team's season along with some historical context. Kinda feels like a chat with boys, with your laid back style.
My 1st Forest match i seen was against Norwich in 94/95, Lars bohinen scored straight from the corner kick top corner beautiful . followed them ever since
Finally, my favorite football channel makes a video about my favorite football club! 👏 Also, there was no need to call me out on my lunch break like that 😂
Nottingham Forest played their first football on the Forest recreational ground. That is where the name Forest came from. Nottingham horse racing is on that location now.
Those images of Brian Clough near the end of his Forest career in the 90s were badly edited juxtaposed against the narration of his heyday. It wasn't a dignified end coming as it did with relegation and Clough looking in poor shape and it was no secret he had an alcohol problem by that time. Other than that, excellent informative video.
What I respect about Nuno is that he works with what he has and he improves those players significantly. I'm looking specifically at the strikers Woods now and Jimenez in wolves were crucial
A 58 yr old red here, these are great days we living here bro. I had this feeling when I was about 11 or 12. I got that feeling once again(Floyd) 3 stars comming? L and sub dude ,good stuff. coyr
as an Ittihadi fan, letting Nuno go was a mistake, i wish the team didn't rush just because of one match they lost, but well done to Nottingham & their coach, please don't ever let this coach go, you're doing great with him
when i started supporting forest we was in league 1, i thought id never see them in the premiership, i thought id see them back in league 1 before even getting close to the prem. its insane where we are now and im just savouring every moment of it
The origin of our name was because of an inner city area called "The Forest Recreation Ground" which was where the team would play before moving to the current area next to the river Trent.
Thank u for making this video. I feel like the mainstream media does a poor job or acknowledging whenever outsiders challenge the status quo. They all kinda assume they'd fall off and dismiss them
I am a F.C. Porto supporter since 96. Bruno is a former Porto player and also former Porto manager. He is a CHOKE ARTIST. When it mattered the most he failed to deliver (as a player and as a manager too) so yall better not celebrate too soon.
Is the title a joke? Check the stats, apart from 2 European cups then Sheff United are factually a bigger club than Notts Forest. Go to the European football statistics website and it shows Sheff Utd have spent more seasons in the top flight, equal titles but more FA cup trophies, bigger historical and current average attendances, bigger fan base. These are provable facts, not opinion. It’s the 2 European Cup titles that rightfully give Forest special kudos but take away those Clough years (who was brilliant) and their history over 100 years is quite bland and underwhelming. Overall Forest are what you would call a small big club or a large medium sized club. Good club though and pleased to see them back in the PL and doing so well this season taking on the big clubs.
Agree Forest have made real progress in the twelve months since Nuno's arrival. The current possibility of Champions League would definitely shape and stabilize this historic clubs long term Prem future & financially enable a continuous serious challenge to PL Hierarchy.
another banger video, its so nice watching you talk about history and stuff and sounding so happy, not like the united updates videos haha. Keep it up g
The Forest in their name doesn't come from Sherwood Forest of Robin Hood fame. It comes from the field where they first used to play which was called the Forest Recreation Ground.
While i want Salah to win the PL, i would honestly love it if Forest somehow win the PL, it would be on par with Leicester City winning the PL title. But Leicester had Vardy, Mahrez and Kante all three are PL greats, and well in Kante`s case one of the greatest midfielders of all time. That sort of quality with those three alone puts them above this Forest team quality wise.
Technically speaking they didn't take their name from 'Sherwood Forest' nor did they play there. They took their name from where they first played which was 'The Forest Recreation Ground' which did take it's name from Sherwood Forest because in the middle ages Sherwood Forest encapsulated that area.
As a forest supporter and season ticket holder you have put a good video together me duck . Nottingham is known as the rebel city and is on the rise again. Come on you mighty reds 😂.

big up the red shirts the famous garabaldi
@ Nationalist in the sense that he wanted Italian unification. Nationalist tends to mean different stuff today. He was a socialist also though
Nationalist nowadays seems to mean far right by the government@@personperson.7744
I have nothing related to UK, haven't been there at all, just remember in school days i was playing 2006 fifa or so, nott forest was in some lower division, probably in league one, i choose it to promote them to premier league and since then it's become my favourite club with big history what i learned after managing it, i was really surprised they got promotion to premier league and now in top 4, some miracle from childhood came true, hope they will stay as top team for a long time
19:32 As a Belgian, I’m glad Matz Sels got some credit. He’s been a beast this season
Sels has made a real difference since signing last season, without Sels Forest would have been relegated
19:33 Matz Sels! Love him in FIFA 17 with Newcastle. He's quite the goalkeeper 💎
More Champions Leagues than Arsenal & Spurs combined.
More relegations than Arsenal and Spurs combined too 😂.
@@rezarfar we were on holiday in the lower leagues and what did they do during the time?
That's a rhetorical question because we all know it amounts to less than our promotions :)
@stayhome2208 what an amazing reply actually. Taking a holiday off and coming back to see you still own them teams!
Taking an almots 40 year holiday in the premier league...only to come back and find Arsenal and Spurs still having no European trophy haha
@@stayhome2208 don't get big headed mate, you know damn well this isn't going to last, your club doesn't have the infrastructure, the funds or the clout in the transfer market to keep this up, we'll gobble up your good players like we did to Leicester and you'll be relegated again within a matter of years at most. You can make as much noise as you like but the reality is this, your club are trash and have been trash for 80% of their existence 😂.
Now pipe down little man 😂.
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.
5:44 Imagine being told by Muhammad Ali that you talk too much
How it pains him that this isn't ManU despite much more spending. Loved the pause for Spurs. 😂
I only have notifs on for Football Iconic. Dont think I need to explain why 😉
Explain.
@@FootballIconic Quality content Why else!?
@@FootballIconic Long detailed entertaining quality videos as I and many see it. One of very few channels I can personally feel where TV is the best device to watch.
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
44 days young man 😎
@ ah, my mistake! So he lasted even longer than Truss did as PM
It's because he told them all to throw their medals in the bin, from cheating bribing the refs.
The previous manager was a God to them and a cheat. He wanted another cheat to take over, so he didn't get exposed and it could carry on. But Clough got the job instead.
The players made sure he got sacked.
Cool video, just so you know the name is not because of Sherwood Forest. It's because we played the forest recreation ground
Which is called like that because it's historically part of Sherwood Forest.
I am a man utd fan and I think whatever happens at the end of this season forest should be awarded the team of the season. They are not rich like the big teams but have played brilliantly with both passion and skill
we were called forest, not cause we played in sherwood forest, but because we played on The Forest, a recreation ground
The Forest ground is called that bcause it's historically part of Sherwood Forest.
@@veritas4364 hundreds of years ago yes, but not within the existence of Nottingham Forest.
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117 What do you mean?
@@uhm175 what I mean is that Nottingham Forest is directly named after the Forest recreation ground and indirectly naked after Sherwood Forest.
This channel is somehow getting even better than it already was...
The historical parts of your videos are truly fascinating and very well researched, narrated and presented..as well as just being really great video uploads in general. Hope to see more, keep up the awesomeness
My grandad is a forest supported. He's supported them for a damn long time. He went to watch them for their clinic win in 1980. We speak a bit about football but nothing too serious and for this season he was expecting to get relegated. I'm sure you can imagine just how stoked he is
He would probably slap you silly if you said 'stoked' in front of him.
He might punch you if you say stocked right in front to him 🤣
Was waiting for it!!
Clough and Taylor created a monster....now it's rousing from slumber
Sad, I love me some regular “This team is dangerous” content :(
Just playing with ya, thanks for the wonderful vids and your dedication, Tinashe 🙏
Great analysis. Many thanks. Glad to also hear appreciation for Peter Taylor, What a talent spotter.
Archie Gemill. John Robertson Gary Birtles in particular.
John Robertson was already at Forest when BC arrived. He was a bit of a lazy midfielder, but BC converted him to a left winger. The rest, as they say, is history...
'Do you believe in miracles' is a great movie about the champion forest side
Great to see the team I cheered on as a kid back into top flight
Lifelong Tricky, season ticket holder for years, moved to New York ( state, not city, )obviously not a season ticket now, was there during the Brian days, and forward. This team gels, like ive not seen since 79/80. Newark on Trent tricky.
Imagine being a big six club supporter. So much lack of drama. Keep it up forest. (from a Leeds fan)
If if wasnt Liverpool they were chasing, I'd love to see them pull off a miracle season and win it all.
Its Nottingham keeping Liverpool honest. But but things are looking shaky
I think all the media attention over the stupid contract negotiations have shaken some of the team chemistry. Honestly, at this point, I don't even care. I just want the saga to be done so the season can become the focal point again.
I love the documentary side of the channel. Tinesha , your work is Excelent!
Tinashe keep up the good work!!! I absolutely look forward to your videos every week 🇿🇼
Good history/analysis of Forest. I enjoyed it and learnt quite a lot. 👍
As an Aussie, I didn't have much to start with.
I've been a fan for a couple of years now, and you're by far the best football based youtuber out there!
Love these kind of videos where you bring out the different narratives of a team's season along with some historical context. Kinda feels like a chat with boys, with your laid back style.
This just reminded me of the wonder days of Clough magic
In all honesty he deserves his own video
My 1st Forest match i seen was against Norwich in 94/95, Lars bohinen scored straight from the corner kick top corner beautiful . followed them ever since
A next forest video great stuff 😁❤️ I'm going to see them tomorrow first time in over 10 years. You reds
Finally, my favorite football channel makes a video about my favorite football club! 👏 Also, there was no need to call me out on my lunch break like that 😂
Nottingham Forest played their first football on the Forest recreational ground. That is where the name Forest came from. Nottingham horse racing is on that location now.
Forest fan here. I thought we would finish 15th or 16th this season. 10th would have been a dream. Nuno has done an amazing job.
Those images of Brian Clough near the end of his Forest career in the 90s were badly edited juxtaposed against the narration of his heyday. It wasn't a dignified end coming as it did with relegation and Clough looking in poor shape and it was no secret he had an alcohol problem by that time. Other than that, excellent informative video.
Forest fan of 46 years....we're just enjoying the ride
Yes! Thank you Iconic. So exciting to be a Forest fan atm. 🌳
Cloughy is a true legend and national treasure. Highly recommend the film The Damned United. One of the best footy films
Good video, well-researched, and balanced appraisal of Clough - plus decent analysis of Nunoball.
Man it’s crazy how cozy these vids are
I like how you point our great details regarding clubs ,players transfer news etc .
What I respect about Nuno is that he works with what he has and he improves those players significantly. I'm looking specifically at the strikers Woods now and Jimenez in wolves were crucial
Your videos have got me back into football
A 58 yr old red here, these are great days we living here bro.
I had this feeling when I was about 11 or 12.
I got that feeling once again(Floyd)
3 stars comming?
L and sub dude ,good stuff.
coyr
3 stars 😂 I wish mate let's keep dreaming
You're a very astute man bud, and thank you for giving the Trickies a fair shake. 👍
Not a forest fan but it's great to see a giant of English football history get some respect. I genuinely hope they get top 4 this season
That was a well presented very good video. The best I've seen for a long time about Forest.
as an Ittihadi fan, letting Nuno go was a mistake, i wish the team didn't rush just because of one match they lost, but well done to Nottingham & their coach, please don't ever let this coach go, you're doing great with him
Brilliant analysis of the situation, team and tactics. Much more accurate and in depth than the main stream media
Fredrikstad Football club in Norway play the same defensive way of football. Went from promotion to 6th place and won the norwegian cup
Beautifully researched and presented. Thank you
when i started supporting forest we was in league 1, i thought id never see them in the premiership, i thought id see them back in league 1 before even getting close to the prem.
its insane where we are now and im just savouring every moment of it
It was a real rocket, man.😂
FOREST IS GIANT!
SO HAPPY TO FINALLY WATCH THEM DO WELL IN PL...
Chilean Forest fan!!
Mate?! Brilliant little video - only 5 mins in, already it’s brilliant! 🏴 uuuuuuuu reds!
The origin of our name was because of an inner city area called "The Forest Recreation Ground" which was where the team would play before moving to the current area next to the river Trent.
Hulk Hogan played for Nottingham Forest under the name Kenny Burns
Love your videos, u have a way with words 🤝🏽
Thank u for making this video. I feel like the mainstream media does a poor job or acknowledging whenever outsiders challenge the status quo. They all kinda assume they'd fall off and dismiss them
Everyone understands what "yo-yo" club means when you talk relegation/promotion, but it's equally applicable to clubs getting into the European places
Nice in-depth video! Keep up the good work!
I am a F.C. Porto supporter since 96. Bruno is a former Porto player and also former Porto manager. He is a CHOKE ARTIST. When it mattered the most he failed to deliver (as a player and as a manager too) so yall better not celebrate too soon.
Nuno is awesome. I hope this comment ages badly!
great videos man. keep them up! really enjoy your content
Great video mate well done. Videos like this is why MOTD is dead.
TY from Nottingham
Is the title a joke? Check the stats, apart from 2 European cups then Sheff United are factually a bigger club than Notts Forest. Go to the European football statistics website and it shows Sheff Utd have spent more seasons in the top flight, equal titles but more FA cup trophies, bigger historical and current average attendances, bigger fan base. These are provable facts, not opinion. It’s the 2 European Cup titles that rightfully give Forest special kudos but take away those Clough years (who was brilliant) and their history over 100 years is quite bland and underwhelming. Overall Forest are what you would call a small big club or a large medium sized club. Good club though and pleased to see them back in the PL and doing so well this season taking on the big clubs.
Agree Forest have made real progress in the twelve months since Nuno's arrival. The current possibility of Champions League would definitely shape and stabilize this historic clubs long term Prem future & financially enable a continuous serious challenge to PL Hierarchy.
another banger video, its so nice watching you talk about history and stuff and sounding so happy, not like the united updates videos haha. Keep it up g
Its should also be noted cooper came in when we was bottom of the championship with 4 points in 8 games
You've just earned a subscriber 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 very good content 🙏🏾
Great vid and viewing mate 👏
The Forest in their name doesn't come from Sherwood Forest of Robin Hood fame. It comes from the field where they first used to play which was called the Forest Recreation Ground.
You man, your story telling skills are just impeccable, I have enjoyed video
My favorite footy creator ever since the “how good was he actually” series ❤️
While i want Salah to win the PL, i would honestly love it if Forest somehow win the PL, it would be on par with Leicester City winning the PL title.
But Leicester had Vardy, Mahrez and Kante all three are PL greats, and well in Kante`s case one of the greatest midfielders of all time. That sort of quality with those three alone puts them above this Forest team quality wise.
Technically speaking they didn't take their name from 'Sherwood Forest' nor did they play there. They took their name from where they first played which was 'The Forest Recreation Ground' which did take it's name from Sherwood Forest because in the middle ages Sherwood Forest encapsulated that area.
Young man! You know your football!
24 minutes of awesome content
Nice one 👍
And I very much enjoyed the succinct history lesson 😊
your videos are 🔥
As a forest supporter and season ticket holder you have put a good video together me duck . Nottingham is known as the rebel city and is on the rise again. Come on you mighty reds 😂.
The city ground was also the first place to install goal nets
Correct.
