Ah, Jason Lee. Forest legend.
Which says a lot about how far our standards concerning "legends" have fallen since we won the European Cup

Southend Legend too.
Well, not quite 'legend' actually. But we won't ever forget him helping us beat Birmingham 4-1 after Barry Fry Judas'd us out to go there.

I come over all misty eyed at the mention of Super Stanley.
Now he IS a Southend legend.

Southend legend unmentionable cunt

Leaving for the big bucks is one thing, but trying to fleece your former club out of a hefty wedge because "you never wanted to be sold", after spending most of the previous season making eyes at Liverpool, is inexcusable.

Stan Collymore is a wanker, he wears a wanker's hat
he plays for nottingham forest, and he is a fucking twat
he runs up and down the left wing
up and down the right. It doesn't really matter, 'cos he is fucking shite.

Ah, the joys of living with a Derby fan in the mid-to-late nineties.

From a Derby fan?
Oh that's rich...they haven't had a player fit to lace Stanley's boots since...um...actually I can't think of one.
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Thu 15 Dec 2011, 9:38, Reply)

Yeah.
because fans are rational about their hated rivals, aren't they?

I often heard scousers at Old Trafford singing about how, really, Rooney and Gary Neville are actually quite good footballers.

Also - more to the point - weren't Derby in the Prem league more recently than Forest? With respect to Sir Stanley - the problem was the man had potential, but in all honesty never scored with any regularity unless he was in a darkened car park.

I don't know, I'm a Southend fan.
I base my opinion of Stan Collymore purely on the 1992-93 season.

So to me, he's a God.

he's certainly a dogging deity.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 15 Dec 2011, 9:46, Reply)

If it didn't happen between October 1991 and May 1992 I'm not interested.
And frankly, between those periods, he could have gone dogging in my back garden and I'd have just taken him a Thermos of hot tea and asked if he needed feeding.

The Filth were indeed in the top flight more recently than us
They set a Premiership record for least points accrued and extended their winless run to 13 months once back in the Championship.

I think if I can handle that, you can cope with me sharing student houses with a Derby fan.

Quite disturbed by the intricate knowledge of the last time Forest were good
Me and my mate claimed to start the Jason Lee worship thing - one game he came on as sub and we stood up (we were in the back row so felt OK about this) and started doing the Le Tissier bow, the next game when he came on the whole Trent End was doing it.
