I do think it's the game Forest probably wanted to avoid the most because of the 7.0. They know that was a freak and we are going to be massively up for this because of that.
This, our squad will be absolutely up for avenging that result, the crowd will be buzzing for it too.

I'm trying to wake up a part of my memory from 1978, or there-abouts.
We played Coughies Forest away and he said some bad comments about us and the match. It gee'd up the team for promotion that season.
Only match I can find is a League Cup QF match at Forest in December 1978 that we lost 3:1. They were now in the top league.
Anyone else remember the details?

This actually happened between Liverpool and Palace in the early 90s, didn't it? Liverpool beat them 9-0 then lost 3-2 in the FAC semi.

Bring that on.....

Tis the season to avenge some results and put some ghost to bed, whilst cementing out place as superior.....



Or not.....
You're joking! A final between ourselves and Palace (or Bournemouth for that matter) is the stuff of nightmares. Two teams who've never won a trophy before going head to head. You absolutely KNOW we'd lose and have them singing "you've never won f*ck all at us" forever more.

It would make that play-off semi disaster seem like pre-season friendly.

Our most important game of the season so far. I do hope that our international starts get a bit of the Alex Ferguson "injuries" to keep them travelling all around the world just days before it kicks off. How many Forest players get call ups ?

I also see Palace have a 21 day rest before their tie ????
