Been retired here for near on 3 and a half years but coming for 9 years prior to that. It is very quiet now and getting quieter every day. When the Russians and Western European snowbirds go home it will be virtually bereft of tourists. Everyone is more aware of what is going on because they can see it every day. I find it quite pleasant at the moment but things globally are a bit scary. News from home is seemingly taking a turn for the worse. Nobody seems to have enough vital kit to cope if a lot of people get sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or another weird winner of the European Cup like Chelsea? Personally I don't recall that Villa team being a great team, unlike the Forest team. They won the Championship and European Cup but I think 5 years or so later they were relegated. Forest had several great sides over say a 10 year period. I lived in Nottingham 1978 to 86 so I used to go watch Forest sometimes when City were away (I was a City season ticket holder and would go to all home games and some midlands games)...Forest had some world-class players (Shilton, Robertson, Francis, etc) but going watching John Robertson was worth the ticket price alone. He was so underrated but had it all (except the physique). Clough and Taylor built great teams. Edited March 23, 2020 by Bredbury Blue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipe down. Didn't you come about 6th in the PL that season? Winning the league and CL in the same season puts an exclamation mark on it, but if you aren't going to do that at least come in the top 4. That win was a complete anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the team that also won three leagues in a row, and was recently voted the second best English team of all time on Sky Sports. That 2012 (or whenever it was) Chelsea team wasn't even on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt it's Chelsea.... well I've just seen you won the league in the 1950s so fair play for that. I thought Jose won the first one.
