Comments on: As if we needed another reason to win promotion! http://nffcblog.com/2007/04/15/as-if-we-needed-another-reason-to-win-promotion/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

I totally agree Walsall is crap, but hey we gotta be born somewhere. To be honest you need to spend some time in the rest of The Black Country if you think it’s that bad as anyone who knows Wolverhampton and West Brom will vouch.
I have my own tale of torment in relation to playing Walsall. In his insightful article Nffc fails to highlight the true horror of the 4-1 bumming we received courtesy of them a handful of years ago. Imagine the scene – I worked for a local paper in Walsall and got free hospitality tickets, which included a meal, beers and a free Saddlers clock that broke the next day. Feeling quite merry and buoyant about our chances I took my seat in the VIP area (the only part of the ground not swimming in piss) and started baiting my Walsall chums. 90 minutes later I felt sick and went home to bed. I remember one of my Forest pals – who had travelled down for the match – saying that if Cloughie was dead (and he wasn’t at the time) he’d be turning in his grave. Indeed.
However, there is one good thing if we do stay down – and come on we’re doing our level best to balls this season up at the final hurdle. I don’t work for the local paper any more and so can’t get hospitality tickets.

Just think, next year, we’ll be able to knock them out of the cup and it will be an “upset”. Sense of humour? Well ha, bloody ha!

No, well done to Hartlepool, Walsall, Scunthorpe and all the other teams that have earned their promotions already. Also, I’m pleased for Gillingham and sad for Rotherham (our co-relegees, if that’s close enough to a word for understanding) with their differing fates. They (the first lot) have managed to do what we (twice European Cup winners, an’ all) have failed to do; although we yet could if Brizzle stumble and we win every game. (Sponsorship by Pork Farms Airlines, next year).

Anyway, my sister lived in Walsall for a while, so I am mortally offended by this article. How do you do these smily face things? is it like this? :) Or this :-) . I dunno. Up the Saddlers, say I; in the same way as Frankie Howerd would have said it.

Good Luck….. you’ll need it :p
