that Forest collapse HAS to be top 5 all time in the 150+ year or so history of final day English football

look at the time the goals were scored

Forest were tied 1 1 then Stoke scored 73rd minute 78th minute and then 96th minute on an own goal

and Swansea were 1 1 until they scored in the 66th minute, 84th minute, and  91st minute

so in the last 24 minutes plus 2 stoppage time goals, there was a SIX GD swing!

and Swansea finished +1

Nottingham Forest's season imploded against Stoke City with a dramatic defeat that cost them a place in the Championship play-offs.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53412704

A five-game winless run heading into the last round of fixtures left Forest needing at least a draw against the Potters to guarantee they finished in the top six.

That miserable run was extended to six games in nightmare fashion against Stoke, with Swansea's 4-1 win against 10-man Reading more than enough for the Welsh club to usurp Sabri Lamouchi's side in the play-off places on goal difference.

In a turbulent start for Forest, Adam Davies made a fine double save to keep the hosts out early on and Jordan Thompson foiled Lewis Grabban with a goal-line clearance before Danny Batth headed home the opening goal for Stoke.

Tobias Figueiredo equalised with a header from a Joe Lolley corner just after the hour, but Forest's play-off aspirations were left in tatters by two goals in five minutes from James McClean and Lee Gregory.

An injury-time own goal from Nuno da Costa completed one of the most staggering nights in Forest's history.

 

Reading 1-4 Swansea City: Swans secure play-off spot in sensational fashion as Nottingham Forest crumble against Stoke City

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/swansea-reading-championship-play-offs-18636498

Swansea City pipped Nottingham Forest to a Championship play-off spot on goal difference after an astonishing 4-1 victory over Reading at the Madejski Stadium.

Rhian Brewster put the visitors ahead in stunning fashion before George Puscas levelled things with a penalty minutes after Yakou Meite was sent off for Reading.

The Swans threw the kitchen sink and more at the Royals as they desperately looked to get the goals required to achieve their play-off dream.

Wayne Routledge put Swansea back ahead with his fourth goal of the campaign midway through the second half.

And a trio of goals from Stoke at Forest along with late efforts from Liam Cullen and Routledge saw Swansea finish above Forest on goal difference as they secured their place in the top six in remarkable fashion.

Ridiculous.

Most amateur thing I have ever seen. He didnt even play 50 games yet alone 600-700+ which is when they normally retire numbers for certain players ie. Maldini, Baresi, probably Messi’s 10 when he retires etc. who have had that continuity and been successful. Tinpot club.

How laughable and utterly deluded, I hope for his sake he knows he is bullshiting. Fact is if not for the bent refs and system they would be nowhere near top 4....thats a fact.

He's been nowhere near the level of KDB who for me has been the best player in the league by an absolute country mile.

But it had to be Henderson as he has worked so hard on and off the field (sarcasm as it's fucking height) and Liverpool are the media darlings, it really is that simple

FL: 'How is that a foul? There's no foul there! [To Pep Lijnders] Sit down then' 

JK: 'Calm down, calm down... don't talk to my No.2...'

FL: 'No, no, if he's going off at me, I'll f****** say something!' 

Unknown member of Liverpool bench: 'It's still a foul' 

FL: 'It's not a f****** foul! I'm not asking you. Shut up.' 

JK: 'Hey!' 

FL: 'F*** off you as well! One title you've won and you're f*****g giving it the big 'un F*** off! [To Lee Mason] Tell them to have respect and sit down.'

LM: 'Alright, Jurgen'
