Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[auntiesledd]

Did anybody else go to the game at Villa Park in the 1977-78 season? It was the year Forest won the Div 1 title after coming up the previous term. We lost 0-1(!), but Shilton produced the most astonishing goalkeeping performance I reckon I've ever witnessed.

Welcoming requests please for my pre-match show 3-5pm  on www.mearnsfm.org.uk

Might not be as much Villa speak as usual since they aren't kicking off while I'm on air but no matter, I'll crowbar as many references to AVFC as I can get away with!

I've not prepared well and need a good half dozen tracks if you muso's can assist? Particularly looking for ska and hip hop...

My list so far

Hurricane Smith (obviously)
Paranoid
Sexuality
Digging Your Scene
When The Man Comes Around
Any Day Now
Hit The North
Denis & Lous
Gentlemen Take Polaroids
World In My Eyes
Lazy
Love Life - King Creosote
Souvenir

A few ska track:

Hurricane Hattie by Jimmy Cliff with Hourihane
When I Laugh by The Maytals with Bacuna
Hi Life by The Granville Orchestra with Grealish and Flabs
The Jerk by Derrick Harriett with Micah
Do Nothing by The Specials with Ayew

And a bonus hip hop track
Got your money - by Ol Dirty Bastard with Flabby and Micah

Hope this helps.

Didn't even realise it was on the box. Going to be able to watch first 30 minutes and will have to watch the rest in the morning when I finish work. A night of no social media, how will I survive. My last trip there ended 2-2, think we were 2 down and missed a chance to win it very late on. Always enjoyed my sports trips to Nottingham whether footy, cricket or the horses.

I was at that game. I think it was Dublin who missed that chance at the end.

Me too! It was a week after our unbeaten run had come to an end against Liverpool at Villa Park. Collymore lost his temper, but it was a cracking game.

I think we should be starting matches at 2.45.......don't think we've been beaten when we do?

1-1

[Chris Jameson]

I can remember us playing Forest when they were in the middle of an injury crisis and Roy Keane and Nigel Clough were their two centre backs, neither having played there before.

Of course we lost, 2-0 I think.
