I'm quite happy we don't have a direct rival, there's nobody to hate and hatred only consumes you. We're all relatively similar in terms of size / fan base as well as being geographically similar but over the past 20 years we've finished above them both in 13 of those seasons (I think) so we're the best East Midlands club for a generation. (Not that that stat hugely matters, obviously) Derby haven't won a major trophy since the mid 70s. Forest haven't won a major trophy since the early 90s. We've won three since 97. Then again we do bang on abouth ow we don't care that they don't care etc etc This. The original thread on the Forest forum currently has only 79 posts. It's hard to play the 'does this thread look bovvered' card when we must be getting close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 7 October 2019 Share Posted 7 October 2019 I think what I find most weird about Chris Sutton is that he's a pretty much posh, middle class sounding English bloke from the Midlands / East Anglia who acts like he's Billy Mcneill or something. I mean don't get me wrong, you play six years for a club and play a hundred games, you're going to have some fondness for them. But he acts like he's the Patron Saint of Glasgow. Like his blood runs in green and white hoops. I mean, twenty years on I'd expect Marc Albrighton to remember Leicester fondly and to be remembered as a league winner here but he's still a born and raised Villa fan from the West Mids who grew up in their academy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but as a City fan it's in my DNA to despise them. I don't give a monkey's that the folk of sandiacre, Eastwood, hucknall and various other non descript northern brexit-on-steroids filthholes where they pool their support from don't reciprocate. There is absolutely no cultural or geographical common ground between those places and, say, Blaby. Or Groby. I just enjoy hating Forest. And the city of Nottingham generally.

dayday Posted 7 October 2019 Share Posted 7 October 2019 You can bet your bottom dollar Forest hate where we are now, I recall in the 80s they loved it that they was the top dog in the EM, and I must admit I was jealous of the ****ers, but how times have reversed, I’m revelling in it , and long may it continue.

Spudulike Posted 7 October 2019 Share Posted 7 October 2019 Until someone comes up with the big club formula then it's just a nonsense debate.

They're a bigger club than us using pretty much any metric other than trophies won in recent history. Fan base revenue stadium history etc. Not really a debate. Much prefer our setup at the minute though and we are growing. Edited 7 October 2019 by Manwell Pablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 7 October 2019 Share Posted 7 October 2019 Spurs are bigger currently, definitely, but would rather be us at the minute than them. Mostly be cause god knows how bad it all is behind the scenes there. Could be an easy fix for a new manager or require a complete squad overhaul and I'm leaning towards the latter alot. Nice to be in the debate though. Shows how far we've come though. How far back into a clubs history do you go for their 'historic size'? Fan base is a weird one too as it will always come and go as that period in times success does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
