The weekend has just landed again, which means Nottingham Forest play, unfortunately the way we have been playing its not been enjoyable, maybe made a tad worse because of local team Leicester on the verge of winning their first league title in their history. On this, I find annoying is the pundits think this will be the best & unmatched achievement in English football. When, in fact I still believe what Brian Clough & Peter Taylor did in the late 70s with Forest the best achievement, I know I may be slightly biased on this matter, but think properly about it, the first season we got promoted we won the league title, still the best achievement by a newly promoted club to this day, add to the mix winning the league cup & going 40+ games without loosing one game. Winning the league meant we qualified for Europe, our first season in the competition like the league success Clough & Taylor masterminded something I think deserves loads of praise, a European cup winning campaign, bringing the cup back to Nottingham. Only a couple of seasons before we were just a second Div team going nowhere, especially not to places like Munich for sure. So in my opinion this season alone matches anything Leicester are doing now, but then throw in another season of successfully defending both the European & League Cups again. Back to back doubles, so when I hear Leicester are doing something no one else has done, me has a little chuckle & says, win the CL then defend it the following season then there's something to match what Nottingham Forest Fc have already done.
