Is the Forest still there. And that's not the only sport that took place at that venue either.

I will never tire of reminding people that I scored 5 goals in the first half on the Forest, Sunday morning seven a side, jumpers for goalposts, played between drinkers at the Elm Tree in Forest Fields, in the late 1980s.

Might even have been the actual spot where Forest played all those years before. And no-one can ever take that away from me.

I remember @Old Red Fart telling me about an enthralling jousting competition he witnessed there as a young lad in the late 1100s.

Actually it was a bit of a punchup. they both looked a bit pissed to me.

Must have been the mead.

I remember you telling me that the 1189 was proper vintage.

Just a 0 - 0? Pathetic stuff, Scrimshaw OUT!

Think we were missing a good set piece taker back then!

In not a lawyer but I imagine he'll win and NUFC will have to pay him damages. Which would also be funny.

One silver lining of relegation will be that we will have to get rid of most of them.

Boly has only just returned to fitness after missing so many games and here we go. If only some of our players were as keen to play for us as they are their country...

Congratulations to Chesterfield, who have won the conference today. Well deserved

 

[Mappred]

Now, as most of you know, I absolutely fucking hate Liverpool. However, what they did for Sven today was very classy. You can bookmark this, if you wish, because it will never, NEVER, happen again.
