European Champions twice in my era. 

You have clubs putting stars above their badges from the 1930s.

Nottingham Forest is a club with recent history. 

Recent history is relevant history. Man City, Chelsea, United, Arsenal.

Leeds and Forest have done nowt for 20, 30, 40 years. Forest haven't even graced the top division this century.

Winning stuff 40 years ago given all the changes in football is obviously  better than nothing but fairly irrelevant in today's world.

Leeds have only ever achieved anything in a couple of small spells, late 60s to mid 70s and the 1992 title win.

The way they go on you’d think they were (Manchester) United.

Yes, completely agree, To put this in context, if anyone had told me during those 2 or 3 years when Forest were Champions of England and Europe that Portsmouth, Wolves and Huddersfield were 'traditional clubs with recent history' I would have laughed my cock off, and many of their huge successes were actually much closer to 1980 than we are now.....

Forest fans should be rightly proud of their historical successes, but it is 40 years ago now.

Forest as two times Champions of Europe are in my eyes a big club. Only 2 clubs in this country have won Europe's premier club competition more and only 8 clubs in the whole of Europe have.

Leeds however are only viewed as a big clubs by their own fans. They have spent the majority of their history outside of the top division. They had one decent spell of success from late 60's to mid 70's but before that they had no success and since it they have had one season of success in the early 90's.

Why will it? Who’s ‘angry/frustrated’ with Leeds bloody United. 

Hilarious delusions of grandeur. You’ve been in the lower leagues for 16 years, just because the media gets all misty eyed with a club that fills their ground when doing well (not exactly difficult being the only club in one of the UK’s biggest cities), but you are just another club.

 

We all hate Leeds Scum.

If you say so!

Ive never said that. Most clubs do including our lot.

Speaking of Forest, I've often wondered if it's right to speak of Clough as a great manager.

I think of him more as half of a great double-act. Clough's record without Taylor was not impressive.

There really are only a handful of proper clubs if we are honest...

Liverpool,Scum,Arsenal,Everton,Leeds,Tottenham are Level 1

City,Chelsea,Newcastle,Villa,Forest are Level 2

Big clubs know the score.

How are Leeds a level one club? They've spent over half of their history outside the top flight. They have the same amount of League titles as Blackburn Rovers and the same amount of FA cups as Blackburn Olympic. They only thing big about Leeds is their deluded fan base.

I'm inclined to agree (as a Clough obsessive). Neither was as good without the other, but together they were tenfold the sum of their parts.

I’m personally hoping that Brentford go up, as I believe if they stay down this year they will walk the league next season, thus making it harder for us to challenge for promotion. Though I don’t really expect us to be challenging.

This really made me chuckle. When you put it like this its difficult to argue with it.

Bit strange celebrating Leeds’ promotion by trolling a rovers message board

The league will be lesser without a big club to turn anger/frustration against.

I wouldnt call WBA or Brentford a big club.

At least some teams may get live games a bit more often.

Yep that is a genuine frustration. Am not sure how/why you are proud of this as it isn't on merit of the club.

Whacked a good size bet on Wigan to be beat Fulham at almost 2/1.

Pretty sure Cooky will have Wigan fired up and will be far too feisty for the southern softies.

Hope you realise the southern softies still have a shout at automatic promotion - they will be fired up as well.

He got a short ban for something in this thread, but then a much longer one for something he said in a different thread.

Why Fulham? Money on them?

Cant see past West Brom with their fixture and advantage. Fulham a long shot.
