It is an unwritten law of nature that Forest will always find new and exciting ways to make a massive pigs ear of the play offs.

James - I was drunk

Goalkeeper explains Bristol City move

David James has revealed that he was drunk when he was first contacted by Bristol City over the summer.

The goalkeeper secured a move to Ashton Gate in July after deciding to leave Portsmouthfollowing their relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season.

His decision to join another Championship outfit therefore raised a few eyebrows, especially after being heavily linked with a switch to Celtic.

As an international footballer with vast experience who had just become a free agent, a number of top-flight clubs in England were also reportedly interested.

James later explained that he had not wanted to uproot his family and was excited about the opportunity to challenge for promotion with Bristol City.

But he has now also admitted that when he was first sounded out by then Robins manager Steve Coppell he was still feeling the effects of a night out.

The 40-year-old then started to mull over his latest option and eventually completed the transfer, but he concedes that it was a surprising move.

"I thought I would either stay with Portsmouth, move to a Premier League club or go to Scotland," he said in The Observer.

"In between thinking about all that, there was my wedding to Amanda to organise.

"Somehow it all converged at a single point, the morning after my stag do.

"I received a phone call from an unknown number. I don't usually answer those, but I was still drunk and so I picked it up.

"Much to my astonishment the man on the other end was Steve Coppell. He said, 'All right Dave, I'm the Bristol City manager, and was wondering if you'd be interested in having a look at the club?'

"If it had been anyone else, I would not have considered it, but such was my respect for Steve that Bristol City became a serious contender."

Avoid all that this season by sitting neatly in mid-table ;)

That is embarrassing.

It's a win in October and they aren't great rivals are they :unsure: ??

£10 as well ?!

Thought they had a bit of a rivalry after that FA Cup clash at Ninian Park a few years back when it all kick off between the fans.

Still embarrassing though.

A) they were taking orders pre-match for said game, it wasn't a brainchild AFTER the victory.

B) It's not a T-Shirt! However much people hate match DVDs and stuff, there is surely a heirachy of cringe, with comemorative mugs, keyrings and shirts being top of the list.

Valid.

A 3-0 win in a local derby being commemorated by a DVD versus a 4-0 win against a team that couldn't give two shites about you being commemorated by mongy memorabilia. That my friend is tinpot beyond belief. It's as bad as the Barnsley car stickers to commemorate their 5-2 win against Leeds. Leeds really must love not being famous any more. :thumbup:

PS: Congrats on passing your driving test.

:wub: Tarrabt's goal.

:wub: Hammill's goal for Barnsley. Definitely wouldn't be short for a seat at the Oakwell.

Derby are looking really good (unfortunately)

Cardiff look set to run away with this league, their attacking line up could do a job in the Premier League i reckon, but what are the odds on both Welsh clubs going up this year i wonder?

Lets hope Boothroyd, Chopra and Bellamy are all out injured again when we next meet them. They would've destroyed our feeble defence that night.

nothing to do with the championship.

I'm getting my bloody leagues confused. To use to these being in the championship last season! :blush:

Normally don't wish injury on anyone but I'll make an exception for this bloke.

Sheffield United skipper Chris Morgan has been ruled out for the rest of the season with cruciate ligament damage.

The 32-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday's 1-0 Championship defeat by Coventry.

Boss Gary Speed said: "It's a massive blow for Chris and the club and realistically we won't see him in action until pre-season training.

"The lads we have that can play in the central defender's role will miss his experience and spirit."
