its been said many times, but look at A, how few ties you needed to win to win thr European Cup in the 70s and B, the fact Forest didnt play any of the proper European elite (except liverpool 1st round) to win either cup run.  The achievememt is barely as hard as winning the FA Cup and certainly  not even in the same stratosphere as winning the current Premier League....

 

Hold on, back then these teams were actual champions!

They were the cream of europe not 2nd,3rd,4th and sometimes 5th placed losers masquerading as "champions".

So, so easy to denegrate past successes, Forest won because they were quite simply the best champions in Europe.

 

In precisely the same way that we won the prem because we were best.

same day as the 9-0 5 years ago. hopefully get the same scoreline in our favour

Going to be watching this in a sports bar in Turkey. I've not seen a single Leicester shirt here but multiple Forest shirts. So me and the boy will have to represent on our own tonight

[CrazyKopCorner]

It's the memory of Vitchai game tonight - 6 years seems so long ago now. 

 

I hope the lads can make him proud.

There's always one who draws a map or starts noting down as-the-crow-flies distances between cities.

 

God, why are they so fvcking weird?

[westernpark]

Maybe in 20 years or so we won’t have such a significant remembrance for the helicopter crash. Maybe a note in the program(not that there will be programs in 20 years) or something similar. It will be interesting to see how it evolves post King Power. Maybe the remembrance garden could be rebranded to remember all lost Leicester supporters and the statue moved or fully removed.

If you’ve gone to the trouble of drawing a map John, you clearly are arsed about us, you just hate Derby more.

 

Take the handbrake off Cooper this time ffs and go for it. Let’s go from the first whistle.

I'll be watching with my lad in our Leicester shirts at the sports bar, Centre Parcs Woburn. 

 

Doubt there will be Many other Leicester or Forest in there (probably a few at Centre Parcs Sherwood Forest)

Anyone coming via train from the north through Loughborough wanting to get here early for a booze, major disruption until 3pm. 

[FoxesTalker]

Just to add to the recent talk about both clubs successes, our history in the modern era speaks for itself and it's what has made us a modern day big club. To be one of only five teams since the turn of the century to have won all three major trophies, brings about a huge sense of pride and will do for years to come. Forest will feel similarly about what they've achieved in the past, and their success can't just be discounted because it was in different times. To me, football is all about history so don’t really agree with this living in the past argument. 

[markko]

Looking forward.to this. Hard week at work. Night game. I don't care one but bit if they don't see us as a rival. Let's get behind the team and beat them. Joy for us. Pain for them. COYB!!!!

Im taking the direct train from Nottingham to Leicester.  Peeps from Loughborough are weird, they always look at me as if they are looking at me naked.

 

Train back will be fun if we win

20, 30, 50, 100 years, the tragedy will still be significant. It won't be forgotten what ever happens to King Power, nor should it be.

Of course it won’t be forgotten because 5 people died in a tragic accident but I am interested in how we remember it in the future, post King Power.

What do you mean we aren't by far the greatest team the world has ever seen?

This is it. No one is saying Derby aren't their main rival but the denial of 'not caring about Leicester' just seems strange.

Could it be that sparkly blue spandex mankini you wear to home games? 🤔

[Izzy]

If I was Forest I'd be a bit annoyed having to play Monday and then again Friday.

I'm not sure if it's because I've moved north of the county, but I've never seen a fanbase come out of the woodwork as much as this lot.

[CrazyKopCorner]

The Steve Cooper Derby! 

 

FM I'd love to swap managers
