Yes, with this game and Liverpool Vs. Everton on Sunday, makes me wonder how "random" the draw was...

Not interested.
Although, a teacher at school is a big fan of Derby, and often says how they are very good, and most kids at school support Forest, so it could be good on Monday, depending on who wins.

Should be a cracker. Good luck and all that. Daddy Clough was a legend.

I've just re-read Brian Clough's autobiography by co-incidence, and it would be nice to see Nigel doing something with Derby.
I feel a bit sorry for Forest though, it must be like the two European Cup wins never happened. And they achieved it without buying up half of Europe.

You could actually go to the game like you part-timer - or can they not fit your armchair through the turnstiles?

I hear what you are saying, I have plenty of excuses, non of which stand up really.
I thought long and hard about getting a season ticket this year, but as my son was born in July, glad i did not in a way. Have no time for much these days, that why I got back into bikes, I have to get to work some how

Not bothered either way tbh. Was a big fan of Brian Clough tho. Not many colourful characters left in football these days 
PS I've just read Geoff Thomas' book Riding through the storm, should be of interest to football/cycling fans

Thats more like it, shame your 1 down though...
Only one team in the East Midlands!
But I did admire Forest under Clough, in a footballing sense of course, they played some beautiful football. I really hope Nigel can be judged in his own right but have learned something and aspire to the same values.
Reminds me of one of my favourite footballing memories... Forest up 3-0 or 3-1 against Crystal Palace in a cup (FA??) replay. 10 minutes to go, Cloughie subs off Neil Webb.... and doesn't replace him! Apparently "the lad had done enough"... and he opted to play the rest of the game with 10 men! Take the piss or what!!!
