Come on who's gonna do it, whose brave enough to get slagged off when it all goes pear-shaped, not me.

One thing that 60 years of supporting Forest has taught me is not to be too optimistic. But then we'll win a couple and it's got me fantasizing about a play off spot. Must admit though, last seasons capitulation left me wondering whether, for my own sanity, I should try to care less, but once it's got you, it's got you for ever.
It would just be nice to see us winning games that a club with a fan base the size of ours should be winning. We should be beating teams like Swansea.

Parachute payments are not an advantage...
As I said, fanbase alone should dictate that we are a bigger club than Swansea. I know a fair few clubs such as Reading, Swansea, Bournmouth and Hull have all punched above their weight in the prem in recent years, but that is my point, they were overachieving in relation to gate receipts/resources. We, on the other hand, have underachieved for the past 20+ years.On what basis should we be beating Swansea?
I can only think of Wycombe, Rotherham and Brentford (who've never been there as far as I'm aware) and Bristol City, Millwall, Luton and Preston who've been outside the top flight longer than us.
We're fucking wank and we don't deserve to beat anybody.
It's a good job we don't get any , if they'll make us worse !

Sheep got pegged back in the last 10 then Wycombe smashed the bar in injury time, their confidence is worse than ours.
But we're talking of the last 20+ years chap.In terms of gate receipts we're on a par with the Dog & Duck at the moment, chap.
