Can Nottingham Forest Pull a Leicester City and Win The Premier League?

Check out the latest episode of Pitch Picks:

The biggest surprise in the Premier League this season is no longer Liverpool’s resurgence under Arne Slot, but rather the fairytale journey we are witnessing with Nottingham Forest. Just a year ago, this storied club was teetering on the brink of relegation, finishing only a single spot above the drop zone. Fast forward to the present, and Nottingham Forest has transformed into legitimate title contenders, defying all odds and capturing the imagination of football fans around the world.

Their remarkable campaign has been filled with “what the fuck is going on” moments, none more impressive than their performance against Liverpool. Forest is the only team this season to leave Anfield with a victory, a win which many deemed impossible given Liverpool's formidable home record. In addition to that, they recently held Liverpool to a draw at the City Ground, claiming four crucial points against the league leaders. These results are not isolated incidents but part of a larger narrative that sees Nottingham Forest emerging as a force to be reckoned with.

What initially seemed like a Cinderella story has evolved into a well-defined identity. Nottingham Forest's defense has become nearly impenetrable, frustrating even the most potent attacking sides in the league. At the heart of their success is a their back line and goal keeper Matz Sels. If this man was a vagina he’d never get present because nothing gets past him.

On the other end of the pitch, their attack has been nothing short of lethal. Leading the charge is the old geezer himself Chris Wood, whose performances defy his age. Week after week, this old fuck puts goals in the back of the net. His leadership and knack for finding the net have been instrumental in Forest’s rise.

Now sitting just six points off the top of the table, whispers of an incredible title triumph are growing louder. Comparisons to Leicester City’s historic 2015-16 Premier League victory are inevitable, and for good reason. Like Leicester, Nottingham Forest has built its success on unity, tactical discipline, and a refusal to back down against traditionally stronger opponents. The belief within the squad evident every time they step on the pitch.

While the road ahead is fraught with challenges, Nottingham Forest has already proven that they are not to be underestimated. Their ability to compete with and outplay the league’s elite has turned skeptics into believers. 

Whether they can sustain this level of performance remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Nottingham Forest’s journey has revitalized the Premier League, reminding everyone that football’s magic lies in its unpredictability.
