Anyone else fancy Manchester United away first with their shiny new manager after his first summer rebuild? Be incredible to go to Old Trafford and piss on their chips first game of the season.

First thing I said to my City supporting best mate was Man U are very beatable at the moment. I’m not saying we will but we have the best chance in a generation.
Also it’s been a week and I can’t stop watching all the Forest videos

Was our promotion the best promotion ever? Hear me out.
The years and years of frustration, underachievement & fighting against restrictions against us that makes promotion so difficult. And then the way we do it, from being so utterly hopeless - with the exact same group of players we have been on an incredible run and then getting promoted in the utterly perfect way at Wembley. You knew something special was happening this season because of the way the city was - even without promotion I have never felt this way about Forest.
We could have won the league with 110 points, it wouldn't have felt better than the promotion we got. I think the scenes at Wembley showed that, many people have said they had seen nothing like it - and that the atmosphere is commonly quite flat at Wembley. But that release of tension when we went up was something I have never seen before. I think we could win the League Leicester style in the future and we would never have this same feeling of built up tension that was released.

Has he singed yet?
It was definitely a cathartic release of pent up emotion! Which, you're right, wouldn't have been achieved through a campaign where we blitzed the league. 90 minutes is such a small amount of time to distill the season to, no wonder we all celebrated like we did.

If I was being picky, I'd have slightly preferred it if we'd scored at our end instead of theirs and perhaps in the last minute...
But that's just being picky.

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but would you swap Sunday, the trip to Wembley, all the atmosphere etc for beating Bournemouth and going up in second?
I wouldn't.

Not in a million years.
We would have gone up infront of 2,000 people at Hull.
If you are guarenteed promotion it's the playoffs every time.

Youre asking with hindsight so its hardly fair because that Wembley day was one of those days that you will never forget. As Colback said cherish these moments because they are so so rare. This is my worry with younger fans than me who expect these moments to happen...... Where as if you asked me before the playoff final id pick autos every time

I notice an increasing number of pundits - both in traditional media and social media amateurs - are now picking us to stay up.
That's either a good thing - or proof that pundits actually know nothing...

Forest were chosen as the Premier League's club for Media Day,

Apparently Forest are 1.000:1 to win the league, I fancy a cheeky Euro on that!
Thought this was as good a place as any to post this. BBC site has a quiz where you have to name all the sides in the premier league last time we were.
Personally I got them all with 20 seconds to go...humble brag haha

...it could take a little while for the team to gel into a unit considering the overturn in playing staff.
The what???? Journalism has gone massively downhill.
