I think the team in dayglo jackets will win. Unless the TMO notices the headlock.

The Christmas number one is ‘we built this city on sausage rolls’
Just look at the hat that Mark Hoyle (LadBabys) is wearing on the video, yep, a Forest Santa hat.

MEMORY LANE
On this day! 30th January
Charlie George, making his debut on loan from Southampton, scored the only goal at the City Ground as Forest beat Barcelona.
A 1-1 draw in the replay at the Nou Camp meant Forest lifted the UEFA Super Cup.

It would appear Forest have signed Pele!!!!! A little old now but probably won't look out of place at the City ground. Sadly we have played you lot home and away so won't get to see one of the greats in the flesh. Still a few hours to go on transfer deadline day for Forest to sign a few more living legends. Whose next Maradona, Tony Woodcock or maybe the former Canary favourite Chris Woods.

We were also after Alfredo Stéfano Di Stéfano Laulhé but unfortunately he passed on in 2014.
Hang on, it’s not that Pelé it’s this one:-
Nottingham Forest have signed former AC Milan midfielder Pelé.
The Guinea-Bissau international, whose full name is Judilson Mamadu Tuncará Gomes, signed a five-year deal with Monaco in the summer but has since made just five starts.
Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers were believed to be interested in landing the defensive midfielder but the rumoured €10m deal never came to fruition. And Forest got him for £0

NOTTINGHAM FOREST WILL BECOME THE OLDEST LEAGUE CLUB IF NOTTS COUNTY ARE RELEGATED
Forest will take the title of the oldest Football League club if Notts County are relegated, according to the leagues football historian.
The Magpies, who were founded in 1862, are currently battling for survival in League Two, in 23rd place in the table with just five matches left to play this season.
And before you say it will be Stoke City your wrong.
It was thought Stoke City would take on the mantle, with their crest carrying a formation date of 1863, but evidence suggests they were actually formed five years later, and so are younger than Forest, who were formed in 1865.
"There is no evidence to suggest that Stoke City were formed in 1863,"
Official records show that a club known as Stoke Ramblers was formed in October 1868 when they played their first game.
That club later merged with Stoke Victoria Cricket Club and eventually became Stoke City.
That club then suffered financial problems in the early 20th century, went into liquidation, and resigned from the Football League.
"A year later, local businessmen, the clergy and supporters came together to purchase the old club's assets.
"Basically, it means that Nottingham Forest are the second-oldest club in the top four divisions and will become the oldest if Notts County are relegated."

WHAT’S WRONG WITH LIVERPOOL FC?
Liverpool were stuffed last night by Barcelona 3-0. Why don’t they take a lead from the ‘tricky trees?’
Nottingham Forest record against Barcelona
P 2 W 1 D 1 L 0 GF 2 GA 1
Resulting in the winning of the EUFA super cup.
So easy.

Notts County will be playing at Solihull Moors next season after they lost 1-3 at Swindon and the Moors lost 0-1 against Fylde in the National League play-off semi-final.

IT’S OFFICIAL, THE EFL HAVE CONFIRMED THAT NOTTINGHAM FOREST ARE THE OLDEST LEAGUE CLUB.
The title, which had been proudly held by Notts County for over 130 years, was passed on last week when the Magpies were relegated from the Football League.
Initially, it was believed that Stoke would take the mantle, with their badge claiming that the club were founded back in 1863, two years before the Forest (1865). However, since then football fans and experts alike have questioned the validity of that claim.
Leading football historian Mark Metcalf sparked the three-week-long row when he dug deep into the archives to prove that the Potters were not founded until three years after Forest.
"Official records show that a club known as Stoke Ramblers was formed in October 1868 when they played their first game," he said.
"That club later merged with Stoke Victoria Cricket Club and eventually became Stoke City."
Defiant, the club last week refused to budge and unveiled their new Macron home and away kits for the 2019/20 season with the words "EST 1863" embroidered on the back of the collar.
But now they may be forced to make late alterations to those designed with the EFL suggesting that the Reds, officially founded in 1865, are in fact older and are rightful bearers of the title of the oldest Football League club.
"We can confirm that Nottingham Forest are the oldest club," said an email, received today from the English Football League.
"There appears to be some misinformation online, regarding Stoke's foundation date.
"However, we can confirm that Forest will be the oldest club, formed at an unknown date in 1865, and documented as playing its first games in 1866
