It certainly was an incredible day Nev.

Even if we don't do anything in the play-offs, I'll add this to my memory bank of amazing moments.

Claridge x2
Walsh v Arsenal ((3-3)
Tony James 1-0
Muzzy v Watford
Walsh v sheep
Steve Thomson, has equalised
Ooo Tommy Wright Cambridge 5!

There's more, but as a fan, these are the moments that make it all worth while. Incredible moments of fans erupting in sheer joy together. Hugging strangers, losing your voice.

Thursday will come quickly, do I'm just going to enjoy the mo

* enjoy the moment. Highlights - Play>Rewind>Repeat!

All. Day. Long!

Here’s the Radio Leicester after-match interview with NP which we all missed. (I missed a section somewhere in the middle which perhaps others on here heard, and can report):

IS (euphoric) : Nigel! Many congratulations !! How does that feel ?

NP : Well, how do you think it feels? Look, it’s very pleasing, but we’ve not won anything yet.

IS : That’s true, of course . But they mood in the dressing room must be fabulous right now I guess ?

NP : Listen, the players are very happy, of course they are. So they should be, they’ve worked very hard and got what their hard work desserves.

IS : It was nail-biting stuff! And what a winner! You must be especially pleased by Antony Knockaet’s contribition today!

NP: Knockaert had a good game yes, but it was a team performance. The team worked hard, we kept going, and maybe we got a little bit of the luck we’ve been missing in recent weeks.

IS : So, how do you now prepare the lads for the Watford games ?

NP : Listen, we’ll be going back to the training pitch, and working hard, and we’ll see. We’ve not won anything yet, we have to go again, and just hope it happens for us.

IS (depressed): Finally Nigel, a word about the fans. They were absolutely great again today, weren’t they? You must feel that you have finally won over those who may have doubted you?

NP : Look, the fans have been great all season, most of them. Especially my nephew TrueBlue. I don't really know what you mean about doubters, and I really don't think that's an appropriate remark, Ian. If there were any, I've never taken any notice of them.

So what's your point?

We've had the other side of the spectrum (Ollie) and we all thought he was a clown, in the end he proved he was!

on a side note, out of the top 6 teams only Brighton have more points than us in the last 6 games. Bizarre hey?

Listening to Kev MacDonald's post-match analysis of the Swindon-Brentford match he doesn't get too carried away with it all either.

Yesterday's result certainly features high amongst the most memorable. Given all the circumstances leading up to the match, all the doom, gloom, despondency and hand-wringing that had set in beforehand, not surprisingly so given the horrendous past few months City have endured, the result emerged as something of a mini-triumph.

It's almost a sign of despair that I can recall one or two other harrowing occasions from the past: The final-day 'belt and braces' job against Newcastle sometime during the mid-1980's (the barren years I call them) when City simply had to win to avoid the drop and only a defeat elsewhere, and I can't recall precisely who was involved though it may have been Ipswich, would decide the outcome. City emerged, battered and torn, the tomb all but sealed, to fight for one more year in the top flight.

On the flip side of the coin, some of City's best results have been saved for the FA Cup: the rearguard action at Anfield in 1969 when no-one gave us an earthly chance. Not a hope in hell. Someone brought up the sublime memory of the occasion, falling upon its 40th anniversary, on the the old BBC606 site (possibly mersey or gloria) and in no time my mind was drifting back. Similarly, the subsequent semi-final result against West Bromwich Albion was a defining moment. Both are firmly etched in as being absolutely marvellous memories.

Let's not rub the shine off yesterday's accomplishment. I was unable to be there in person having to be satisfied with national radio and television commentaries of the match, quantities of coverage of which fell abysmally short if you were a City or Forest listener or viewer.

All the best for the playoff's. You deserve to finish where you did and was certainly the best team to turn up at our place this season.

Merely a little jeu d'esprit, TOTF. Personally I was very glad Shakespeare was interviewed after such an exciting game, rather than having the Grumpster pricking all our balloons.

Euphoric past games? The 3-2 FA Cup win at Spurs under hopeless Levine. Much further back, the semi-final FA Cup victory over WBA in '69. In between, the Heskey/Colleymore 5-2 Spectacular against Sunderland, just a week after beating Tranmere in the League Cup Final.

Loved the spoof interview, Malling, especially about the nephew ! lol

I enjoyed it, Malling!

For a while, I couldn't work out whether it was a joke or a genuine transcript.

It was only when you mentioned True Blue that I knew it was genuine.

I'm only 20 and my first game was when I was 6 so in my 14 years as a fan I can say that this ranks up there with the worthington cup in 2000 and getting promoted back to the PL under Adams, in terms of my Dad the family legend goes that he didn't cry when my sister and I were born but he did when we beat palace

Nephew- pah! he's my Dad.

Hahahahaha very good Malling. I too was wondering whether you were actually serious until the True Blue remark!

As for "We've had the other side of the spectrum (Ollie) and we all thought he was a clown, in the end he proved he was!" - that's plain wrong and rather unhelpful.

Whatever you think of Ollie's record here, the man is not a clown. He has a far superior managerial record to Pearson and don't forget his club, which hasn't got two pennies to rub together, finished comfortably above us.

Having a little bit of Holloway about him, in both his interviewing technique and a more attacking mindset, wouldn't do Pearson a huge amount of harm.

What - how to get us relegated for the first time in our history to the third tier?

TIM - does he have a far better managerial record than Pearson?

What do you base this on?

Mersey results promotion to the premier league etc True without going through the boring stuff Mad dog did the damage Ollie could not put in right.
He has done a remarkable job this season.
NP has got us out of division one if he gets us promoted this season he will have the best best record since the last person to get us promoted to the premiership!

Nev - I've noticed that he always picks a team on the up to manage and follows through from other managers good work, maybe that's why he was an unmitigated disaster for us and is arguably the worst manager in LCFC history, nice guy or not!

No true Mad dog and Taylor he' was unlucky in my opinion, But true the clubs pick Ollie not the other way round

TB
'arguably the worst manager in LCFC history'

The words Peter taylor and Frank McLintock come to mind...

Did they take us down to the 3rd tier though, I guess they couldn't because Olly was the FIRST ever to do so.

Again true think about it two managrs in that season, its like saying if we had got promoted last year it was all down to Pearson because he got promoted with Svens team!

Nev - would you like to show me Holloway's win record vs Pearson's.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure Pearson's would be superior.

No, I couldn't wait so I checked. Pearson's record as a manager is statistically much better than Holloway's.

So Nev and TIM, what are you guys basing Holloway's superior managerial record on?

1 promotion to the premier league? I might give you that if it wasn't countered by a relegation to the 3rd division.

Interested to understand what you're basing your statements on.

I'm no Holloway fan, He may have took us down to L1, but he did inherit a poor squad, in a club that had been on a downward spiral for some years...

That downward spiral started with that idiot Taylor, who spent millions on wrecking the team MON had built... so surely, he gets the gong for worst manager..

As for the best result? It was a good one, but not as good as The Derby play-off final - that day was pure magic

Mersey choosing your facts promotion to the premiership and demotion to L! are both things NP hasn't achieved so Holloways better FACT.
I'm stunned to think you think getting promotion to the Prem is less than Nigel has achieved on what planet is that mate!
