View Full Version : Forest v. West Ham R

Forest paid what all are describing as an incredibly emotional tribute to Brian Clough and picked up a last minute win to celebrate. West Ham went up early but Paul Evans tied it up. Late in the match Marlon King (Reggae Boy) smashed the game winner for Forest at the City Ground. First win of the league for Forest, a much needed boost. King and Andy Reid were dropped from the squad last week for arguing with Big Fat Joe. Both returned today and by most accounts quite redeemed themselves. I'll put more on the Barra site after more reports come in.

Listening to the BBC Five Live version, the announcer described the winner by King as one of the greatest goals City Ground have ever seen. Look forward to seeing the highlights on FSW Report even though the result did not go West Ham's way.

Nope Monkee and I survived the pre and post match celebrations.
Tearful day at the City Ground and I have some photographs of the tributes plus a special tribute I set up in my home before departing which I shall sort out.
As Rob is aware I have had my knee operation bought forward for tomorrow at 2:00pm UK time so time is a bit precious at the moment but I will be drafting a report from my day up in Nottingham whilst sitting in that hospital bed, eating ********ing crap food and thinking about you all enjoying life at the tailgate tomorrow night!!

Not the UK painkillers they don't..........which normally consist of some mofo of a matron wielding a large needle which normally ends up being harpooned through a sensative part of ya body!!
Time to go and enjoy the hospital food.............
