Birmingham - Nottingham Forest

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Pap, wasn't a certain Brian Howard Clough reported to have spent the night at the Baseball Ground watering the pitch to make it as boggy as possible before Derby played Juventus in the European Cup Semi Final, 2nd leg?  :D

If I remember the tale from the man himself he dosed off with the hose pipes on and when he woke up the turf was like a swamp. What made it funnier was that I think that like now there was a drought at the time and Clough explained to a bemused referee that whilst the whole country was parched local weather patterns meant the BBG had experienced a monsoon.


Did Boywer do the same last night in reverse? Quite possibly and cant blame him. We didnt cope at all, a lot of nonsense spoken blaming Hughton and picking the wrong team. It was never going to be pretty but too many of our team didnt turn up. Final thought some people wanting us to be more like Brum need to get a sanity check, they will get found out next season playing like that, they certainly wont be top half.
