Memories.

Back then I used to think it was Goal lazio.

It isnt?

Anyone remember when Match of the Day was cancelled ages ago, and instead the highlights of the weekends games were shown on a show called 'The Premiership' on ITV?

It's a beautiful day was the theme song right?

Never felt right.

I used to love that, but I hated that it had adverts.

It was Des Lynam hosting it wasn't it.

The opening tune was by u2 I think. What is the track though....beautiful something? Loved it.

being at a coventry city vs derby county reserve game at highfield road
a player got substituted and in frustration smacked the top of the dug out.
it was really loud scared the shit out of me, i was only 7

Des Lynam was the presenter of that. I remember recording it on a Saturday night, and watching Sunday morning.

Was only on at half 10.

Beautiful day. That was boss, didnt know match of the day got cancelled

There seemed to be an advert every 5 minutes on The Premiership. Don't think I even supported Arsenal when I first watched it as well.

That's when I cared more about England than Liverpool aswell.

Poor Gordon. Starts a thread but probably doesn't know what we're on about without having English tv

The first season I remember all of was probably 2004/2005 season, only remember Chelsea's CL games in 2003/2004

I liked Owen, but my Dad didn't approve.

I remember Beckham being sent off and Owen scoring in the '98 game vs Argentina.

2nd memory is me watching the tv thinking "That Henry player is pretty good"....of course back then I thought it was pronounced the English way .

I started paying attention to the European game in maybe 2005/2006 and until Euro 08 I had no idea Euros existed or what they were.

Anyone remember that?

I know I was in the same boat, I miss pre-scum Arsenal.

Painful memories

Anyone remember On The Ball on ITV? think it was their version of Football Focus. Gabby Logan was on it.

My first memory is playing the game when I was five years old.

Anyone remember that song?

I remember my 1st ever Cheltenham game when I was 5. We beat Barnet 4-3.

First ever Forest game I attended. Sat in the Lower Brian Clough, close to the away fans. Must of been the 2000/2001 season. Think it was a 0-0 draw.


I attended a Derby game before a Forest game so that's technically earliest I remember.

Friendly against Barcelona in 1998. Figo, Rivaldo and Xavi were playing, aswell as others but I wouldn't remember them
