When the pots are seeded by you co efficient and this season won't count for next seasons CL. So whatever we do this season pot 3 or 4 is our best hope next season. What rule changes? Group 1 is the winners + champions - there's been no announcement of that changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a real privilege to be there for their last game in the prem. They were not happy at all. The funny thing was they all genuinely thought that day that MON was going to resign to go and join them in the championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grewks Posted 18 September 2016 Share Posted 18 September 2016 The 'quality' of sides they beat is not relative at all. They won the biggest European competition at the time, something we are not likely to achieve. However, i'd much rather be alive and well during our clubs most successful period, than listen to Grandad telling us about the 'glory days'. Todays average Forest fan, has, and will never likely, experienced what we did last season. In fact, neither will over 99% of other English clubs (Or David Nugent ).

It's changing how the coefficients are calculated and how the money is dished out, not the seeding criteria. They have dicked around with the coefficients to get the big teams more not give them a better chance of winning. Sums up the mentality of modern football. Re: Forest's Eurpean cup win, who really cares about the comparison? They won the highest club honour in Europe in consecutive seasons this was before I was even born. I have no way to judge or compare as it was a completely different era. Trying to belittle it is just as bad as people saying we won a weak league last season. So what, you enter a tournament, you win it, nothing else matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffolk fox Posted 19 September 2016 Share Posted 19 September 2016 Forest did win the European Cup twice I remember it well as I was in the Army in Germany at the time. They say you can only beat the teams that are put in front of you and credit to them they did. However, you must remember the competition in those days was totally different to todays format. It was more or less a straight knockout similar to the fa cup competition. Forest did get very favourable draws. We mustn't forget either in Trevor Francis they had the most expensive player in football at the time, yes, a million pounds the record transfer at the time. As I said they won it twice so fair play but you cannot compare their two wins with how the competition is run today. Brian Clough was an outstanding manager, should have been an England manager but didn't get the job because he was too outspoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireFox Posted 19 September 2016 Share Posted 19 September 2016 They actually have Northampton next... (A lot saying it'll be 4 losses in a row, but it probably won't be; hopefully it'll be 3 PL games in a row though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says more about the FA. I can't believe after his and Hodgson's comments on Drinkwater that both of them would leave him out. If he showed the form he has for us for Man Utd then people would be saying he's our best midfielder and there'd not even be a debate about him being in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think its more to do with Allardyce picking players to please a majority of the fans and whether we like it or not Man United and Liverpool have more fans who also support England then we do and the London media would skin Sam alive if he picked Danny over a Spurs or Arsenal player. Its about bias motivated by fear of being booed out of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted 22 September 2016 Share Posted 22 September 2016 1. FC Koln are the goats and also Podolski's boyhood club. They are two points off the top early doors. Podolski probably cheekily suggesting they could "do a Leicester" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
