Much. Have they won the European Cup?? I work with many red dogs and don’t think it’s ever come up in conversation. I’ve also never seen it mentioned in the NEP? You learn something new every day....

They'll be so motivated to win, and would be a good test for their future prospects, playing a rival in a cup game Buchanan, sibley, Knight, whittaker, bird.... A real opportunity for them if they get a game Unfortunately mate i dont think Bird will get a game. wasn't the best at league 2 Scunthorpe, lad needs a loan move to league 1 in my opinion. Buchanan yes, Sibley bench, Knight yes and Whittaker bench. We still have a big squad and can rotate it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly I was chatting about this to Villa fans on the way back from Wembley. They won the European Cup but none of them talk about it - and they’ve only won league cups since. Only Forest!!

They don't like welcoming their neighbours and will try to restrict us to 2k and Notts Police will be the reason given. I heard that they are going to limit us to 2,000 max. Apparently its for two reasons: 1) They have decided to invite all of their managers from the past 10 years back to their old stomping ground; 2) Their squad now contains 1,472 players (+/- 10%) Once you've factored in seating arrangements for all of the above, plus their associated agents, sisters/wives (not mutually exclusive), they're going to struggle to fit us all in.

Try living and working amongst villa fans. The ones you spoke to, must have had memory loss. It's not just the fans either, when you go to Villa park, you can see the commentary of villa's winning goal plastered to face of the stands on the inside of the ground.

What a game for Sibley to score his first Rams goal! that's if he doesn't get sent off. maybe a touch enthusiastic in the tackle for a Derby game?

I mean, I get that its annoying when it happened so long ago (in the case of Forest and Villa). But, at the same time, I am pretty convinced that, had we ever won the European Cup, we would be just as obsessive about it and we would probably (rightly so) have it commemorated everywhere around PP.

That is fair point, but Forest do take it to an extreme - Malmo c'mon. But if you've won it you sing about it . Leeds are special though - as are Leicester re there title win - this from a Sunderland fan forum when we played Leicester in the cup 'Lestaaah singing their 'champions of England, you'll never sing that, song again to a team who've won in twice.

Bubbles Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Not on TV then.. this is the one game against them I wouldn't of minded them messing around with the date... Now we can expect the first game to be played on a Monday evening and the second on a Sunday morning. Cheers Sky, Bankers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I suppose if you are looking for an upset and to capture that magic of the cup competitions, it makes more sense to put Premier League teams going away to League 1 and 2 sides on TV. Sky will also have taken into account that they usually broadcast the league fixtures between the two teams year in, year out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he has the dentures of a goalie who might have come up against Fashanu or Harford in 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
