Old Red Fart
Vital Champions League
I've been a Forest fan for well over 60 of my 70+ years, and can't remember a time when I've been so disillusioned. I was having my post Fish & Chip lunch nap, opened my eyes just before 3pm and actually had a little debate with myself as to whether I shut my eyes again and continued my nap or stirred myself and watched the game, unfortunately I chose the latter, and I've still got a headache.
I don't know if it's just me that feels like this. but this team is actually in danger of making me fall out of love with Forest. I don't look forward to games in the same way any more, and not really bothered whether I watch or not. The mangers post match interview was just on, but I really couldn't be bothered to listen to the same old rubbish. I really hope that the close season brings some decent rebuilding and rekindles my interest, and gives me a sense of anticipation & optimism for next season.
All I ask is that we have a team that is competitive, puts in the effort plays in a positive fashion and most of all makes me look forward to match days again, but I just can't see it happening
I've been supporting a bit longer than you and don't dispute any of your sentiments but you will know deep down that you'll be there at the start of next season, full of hope and dreaming of top six.
In my case the team was nothing great when I started watching so I wasn't spoilt by a good run against decent opposition although I was lucky enough to see the Cup Final win. That is etched in my memory and possibly affects my thinking even today.
Like it or not most of us are hooked good and proper.
See you next season.
