No Poker Post
Incredible draw for Forest yesterday. Away in the FA Cup to spurs, a Premier League side. So a replay away from a Quarter Final with Newcastle (away). That brings back memories of 1974 when Forest led at Newcastle in the F A Cup Quarter Finals and the pitch was invaded (sparked by a massive Geordie). The Forest players were attacked and ended up losing.
Bizarrely, the FA ordered a re-run of the game at Goodison Park. This was drawn and instead of taking the game to Forest's ground a second replay was played at Goodison, Newcastle won, got to the final and were creamed 3-0 by Liverpool. (One of the few times I've wanted Liverpool to win a match!).
If only we could play as well in the League. 9 points adrift with two home games this week, vs Preston and Derby, both sides running well (Derby on an incredible 6 wins out of 6 away from home). I'd seriously swap a cup run for a rush up the league to one place above the relegation zone.
