In the context of this conversation we both look foolish enough anyway
as supporters of the club that forked out seven figures for Andrea fucking Silenzi

1st BRITISH team
I'm pretty sure Real Madrid managed the two European Cups thing before we did. It is a good point though - no-one has even won back-to-back Champions Leagues, even with the amount of money being thrown at teams to make it happen.

Perhaps my favourite Forest fact is that Notts County are the oldest professional club in Britain, founded in 1862. Forest were founded in 1865. It took the people of Nottingham just three years to work out that County were shite and that they needed an alternative
