FA Cup 4th Round: Chelsea v Nottingham Forest



I will quite happily wager you any amount of money that if you asked any Nottingham Forest fan why they are in the equivalent of the OLD Division Three, apart from the obvious answer 'we are shit' they would not be able to give you an accurate, articulate answer to their football club's troubles.

It really seems only 'five' minutes ago that Forest were Kings of English football, they were Kings of European football and they were just Kings of Football especially when they had the greatest footballing double act of Peter Taylor and the late great Brian Clough as their management team.

Just ask any Derby County fan!!!!

On Sunday at Stamford Bridge, Forest come to town hoping to cause another shock, after they beat Charlton Athletic at the City Ground in the third round. Currently joint top of League One, Forest look set to regain the Championship place they lost last season and then for the fans hopefully regaining their position in the top flight of English football.

Manager Colin Calderwood (apologies for the previous error) is the man charged with leading Forest back to their former glories. You can find Calderwood's Forest record here.

I can remember travelling to the City Ground on a cold damp Wednesday night only to see Chelsea get thumped 6-0. What do you do in the circumstances?

Sing 'We WANT Seven.'

And they say Chelsea have no history!!!!! But in those days we had a sense of humour. Following Chelsea then, you had too!!!!!
