I dreamt last night that Man City's first game at the Eitihad next season was a local derby against Stockport County in League 1.
Then I woke up and realised that the Premier League is corrupt and although they have broken PSR rules 115 times no action will be taken against them.
SHAME ON YOU RICHARD MASTERS.
27 Apr 2024 19:51:35
Congratulations to Everton on a great week for them. 3 consecutive wins and now safety. Given their points deductions and off field dramas the players have pulled together and shown the right spirit.
I sit here tonight thinking about this season. How we have lost that loving feeling. How the crowd at CG has changed so much from a year ago. How we have changed managers and above all how the players now seem disinterested. And how I, as a fan for over 50 years now feel that I can’t be bothered to attend matches that used to be the highlight of my week. Carlisle away, Walsall and Yeovil. I’ve been to them all.
I’m so sorry but the club is in free fall. We haven’t the balls to get anything at Sheffield Utd or Burnley. I can say that confidently and honestly. And the buck has to stop with Nuno. He just seems like a gormless melt. What a disastrous appointment. Love Big M but sadly he got that wrong. It was Coopers time to go, but to replace him with this bloke was laughable.
27 Apr 2024 17:29:44
So today's matches went as well as we could have expected. Sheffield are relegated. Luton lost. There are two clouds on the horizon; one is Burnley who are gathering momentum, but as Newcastle had a resounding win today so we can hope they will at least hold Burnley but should beat them. The second cloud is what happens to Forests appeal re the points deduction, that alone could decide our fate.
27 Apr 2024 17:46:11
I see VAR fell over themselves in the race to award Burnley a penalty today. To be fair it most probably was a pen but wolves had one not given against Man Utd in the same fashion early in the season.
It would not surprise me to hear they have taken another point away for having the balls to appeal. It’s clear we are not wanted in the premier league. Sadly with a gormless melt of a manager who fails to create a siege mentality from his players it’s going to be a real battle to survive. Just feel sorry for the genuine players like Yates who always gives his all. We’ve been let down by the likes of Origi and Sangare, utterly woeful tripe.
27 Apr 2024 18:09:48
A penalty for the visitors at Man Utd, now that's novel.
27 Apr 2024 18:33:36
Let this sink in, Burnley are now only two points behind us! 2 points after they looked dead and buried with the Blades. It’s now not only Luton we are looking over our shoulder at! What an absolute shambles of a club we follow. Bad choices, Bad recruitment, Bad decisions and Bad luck. And if we don’t get any points back on appeal, then we are in serious trouble and the trap door to the abyss awaits. Nuno the clown is no upgrade on Cooper and we have gone backwards. Where we might have dug in and scraped a result now seems a distant memory. The club is disjointed and i fear the worse. If we have to go to Turf Moor needing a result to stay up, then I’m afraid that we are doomed.
27 Apr 2024 19:14:37
On our present form you would not back us to beat sheff utd away.
27 Apr 2024 19:17:33
We will stay up lads ureddddssss 😁😁.
27 Apr 2024 19:23:04
Isn't it a poor state of affairs that we are relying on the likes of Luton's and Burnley's results to ensure our PL survival? However, after everything that I've survived and conquered personally over the last 3 years I have morphed into an optimist. As my old drill sergeant screamed at us in basic training - "now stand up and fg fight". No more bleating, excuses and whinging. It's time to show what we are made of on the pitch. I'm sure there must be some fighting spirit left in our players somewhere. Time to forget the injustices as I posted yesterday - it's time to fight.
27 Apr 2024 19:28:27
Right fellow reds in the cold light of Day it is what it is, and you and me can't do anything about it, so do we give in or get behind the team tomorrow? Me for one I detest the double standards of the premier League the entitlement of the pundits who are only washed up x footballers end of the day. Why would we want to go back to the championship, so let's put aside the price rise for a bit and get and I mean get behind our team tomorrow. Other matters can wait games can't do come on you reds. It's now or never.
27 Apr 2024 19:46:40
Say what you like about Dyche, he's done a great job these last few games to keep Everton up, and I've read that if they didn't have a points reduction, they would be level with Brighton, who's manager is being linked with a "Bigger team".
27 Apr 2024 19:50:33
Thank gid Stella the gloom and doom merchants are out in force this evening😡😡.
27 Apr 2024 19:56:23
Shocking negativity on here, listen to yourselves!
Give yourselves a day off, and SUPPORT FOREST!
27 Apr 2024 19:57:36
Dtp, have you still got your banner? This chap is surely as bad as Hughton?
Remember last year when Marinakis took the plaudits for us staying up and sticking by cooper. He said, and I paraphrase, ‘it’s pointless sacking the coach if there isn’t a better man out there to replace the one you’ve sacked ‘ obviously just a one season theory then was it?
27 Apr 2024 21:32:41
Doom and gloom I say doom and gloom it's like everyone on here wants us to go down 🤣🤣 are we in bottom 3 no are we expected to win our game in hand against man city no but guess what you never know have we got the best run in of last 3 games yes Nuno will be gone either way after them 3 games were staying up ureds.
27 Apr 2024 22:09:26
Said with ten games to go we should of sacked nuno and I've been proved right, never known a coach so unpopular with the fans, never heard his name sang by the fans except Tottenham away at half time behind the stands.
27 Apr 2024 22:43:25
DTP any coach would of been unpopular after the fist pumper that already got us in this position this season and also you was proved wrong with cooper hence sacked let's move on and start a new season in the premier League 😁.
27 Apr 2024 22:48:12
OK I've been glue-sniffing mixed with too many anti-depressants tonight - but I'm now convinced we'll thrash City tomorrow.
27 Apr 2024 16:38:43
My team for tomorrow resting Gibbs white and Hudson Odoi because I feel that this Man City game is about trying not to get hammered. Not negative just realist. Save them for the last two away games which I feel is the only way we stay up. No injuries wanted at this stage for me.
Sels
Williams
Murillo
Omabamadele
Aina
Danillo
Dominguez
Yates
Sangare
Elanga
Wood.
27 Apr 2024 17:09:31
Swop Yates for niakate and play Murrello in front of the back 2 fine with rest.
27 Apr 2024 17:36:47
RA, if Alfie is playing we need 3 at the back. A midfield 5 of Reyna, Yates, Domingues, Danillo Elanga and Woods up front. Definitely not Sangare as he has never upto now taken up the opportunities given to him, so why think he can play in an important match such as this? The main aim being to keep the score down, using Elanga’s supposed speed on the wing. You want the players to be galvanised for this one. Resting MGW is a good plan. I am afraid HO needs a permanent rest.
27 Apr 2024 18:05:41
RA. Sangare?
Noooooooooo.
At best, he's an overrated pedestrian!
27 Apr 2024 14:41:11
Well dark clouds gathering over the East Midlands, fester and direby promoted 🤦.
27 Apr 2024 15:29:33
Sorry mate, however I couldn't care less.
COYRS!
27 Apr 2024 15:41:09
Come on you Wolves.
27 Apr 2024 15:42:30
We'll be playing the shaggers next season then.
27 Apr 2024 15:55:03
We're not in the bottom 3 are we d3rbyred.
27 Apr 2024 16:05:34
We are on commitment in fact we’re bottom.
CARLO.
27 Apr 2024 16:24:08
Is anyone else fed up with the doom and gloom on here?
For Christ's sake lighten up some of ya!
27 Apr 2024 16:27:05
It ain't over till the fat lady sings I don't know any.
27 Apr 2024 16:53:13
Even I I have to go on Tinder ill find one!
Pssst (Don't tell the Trouble and Strife! )
😄😄😄.
27 Apr 2024 17:05:48
What about the fat owner?
CARLO.
27 Apr 2024 17:56:56
How about if big M borrows those pretend tits worn by the boys at their drinking competition- black adder the 2nd beer ….?
27 Apr 2024 18:39:24
He sings like Nana Mousaka.
27 Apr 2024 13:12:50
All the pundits have written us off tomorrow against City but I have other ideas Forest are a wounded animal at the moment and that could work in our favour
Forget playing out from the back kick everything get the ball quickly to Elanga and Wood put Yates Sangare and Danilo in the middle of the park and negate De Bruyne and Rodri and stop the supply to Foden and Haaland
1-1 draw Wood for us VAR for them.
27 Apr 2024 13:36:41
Bout time!
Some positivity!
27 Apr 2024 14:49:05
Like the positivity but did you not see them demolish Brighton the other night. Don't think they'll be many punters apart from die hard Forest fans that'll have anything other than a City win. Still Munmad you predict every week we going to win or draw so hopefully your right this week.
27 Apr 2024 15:00:38
4:3:3 formation makes a lot of sense to me for this game.
27 Apr 2024 17:13:58
Tomorrow will be a test to see who is prepared to go the extra mile for Forest.
I don't care if it's another loss just as long every man gives 100%.
It isn't over just yet! 👍.
27 Apr 2024 18:04:04
Someone else giving us a chance!
Well done mate!
27 Apr 2024 18:15:09
Don’t know about positivity, sounds a bit like fantasy 🤪🤪
CARLO.
27 Apr 2024 10:11:42
The Scotland v Peru game in the World Cup was actually a brilliant game of football which had loads of chances end-to-end. Not forgetting 2 brilliant goals by Cubillas 😀.
27 Apr 2024 07:39:42
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Everton v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective
27 Apr 2024 19:45:36
Ed mate, commiserations and welcome to our world! I don’t know anything about Slot so I can’t even offer consolation in the form of an upturn for next season. You must be praying that you don’t go down Man Utd’s post Fergie experience. Recruitment will be important with the hope that you find a new Salah and Van Djk.
27 Apr 2024 06:59:52
It's been a while but I'm out of hibernation.
New username (you know the drill)
Can anyone remember the 1978 world cup in Argentina? The passion and the colourful support of the fans I was amazed by it.
I have always dreamt of such an atmosphere at the City Ground but I never expect it to happen.
Well it did and wasn't it awesome.
No matter what happens at the end of this season they can't take that away.
And I'll never forget it.
27 Apr 2024 07:34:09
Yes I do mate it was my first World Cup where I could understand what was going on, I supported Scotland as I had heard of dalgliesh, gem mill etc, I remember them doing Holland but also the shock of them losing to Peru, the big thing at the time for me as a child was the excitement of collecting panini stickers and trying to fill an album, all the kids on our street were doing it, great times growing up in Eastwood.
27 Apr 2024 07:56:49
I was just starting to understand football too, and the World Cup was like a wonderful awakening. however I heard that Scottish World Cup song so many times, I honestly thought they only had go over and pick the bloody thing up and come home again!
82 World Cup was amazing too. my first "Awakening" to the fairer sex. my first girlfriend, over 40 years later, and I still think of her from time to time, she was a combination of Steffi Graff, and Jennifer Anniston. (You get the picture) couldn't believe my luck.
Wonderful times, wish I could just go back there for one day. 🙄.
27 Apr 2024 08:45:46
Does anyone remember Peter Shilton riding around in helicopters opening Barrats housing estates, he did one in Eastwood (woodland way estate) we all rode up there on our bikes and waited for shilts to land Proper excitement that in them days! As I understand it he was abit of a character off the field, women and liked a flutter?
27 Apr 2024 10:04:21
Lived on Chewton st all my life till I moved to Woodland way they were crap house's so moved back to Philip Avenue in a house I played on when it was being built now down in Fox Land and everyone is smiling around me say enjoy your games with Direby next season Ha well what goes round comes around 😋😋😋.
27 Apr 2024 10:35:14
The good old days Friday dinner finished work for week wages in cash in a brown packet so you could go straight into town 😁.
27 Apr 2024 12:33:15
It was great having a wad of cash in your hand at the end of the week, pay me board to me Mam, rest mine. No bills other than booze, fags and of course Nottingham Forest, know I don't even get a paper pay slip, it's sent to me phone 🥺.
27 Apr 2024 14:23:25
You'd be lost if you lost ya phone forgot me wallet the other day luckily had friends who bought me a orange juice felt a tw## especially when a young un said to me I needed to get everything on my phone ya don't forget that felt like clipping his ear.
27 Apr 2024 14:51:41
🤣🤣🤣 jester.
27 Apr 2024 19:18:35
It’s good to reminisce! I love thinking about the old days. It was only last week I posted about how our badge brings emotional feelings to me when I look at it. Great days all those years ago. Used to live for football. School got in the way, but even there you could play 3 times a day! Never had much money as a family, my mum and step dad both worked in a factory ( now Hooters 😂) but I had a really happy childhood and felt very lucky. My grandad brought me the yellow away top for my tenth birthday, and it was, and still is, the greatest gift I’ve ever received! I would just look at it on wonder! Sorry for the ramble! All I can say is, no matter what, the PL, Mr M, VAR or anyone else can take that away from me, and all others who feel the same! You can’t buy these feelings!
26 Apr 2024 23:24:14
And so to bed.
Don't wake skegs up, still dreaming of ena sharples in a number 9 shirt, and how he nearly went to a forest game once. But he owned a bar, once, and now does forensics on bog seats, teeth only. Netflix just done a series on him. Just about innocent. you call me a tiger Woods waller skegs, at least i can pull forest out the bag son. Try it someday. Instead of disneyclub and raul paul shop duty frees, maybe you will see some football instead of radio di ck listening to games 15 minutes while at work bi tch.
Anyway vape, and relax x.
27 Apr 2024 00:54:43
All we hear is radio skeg ga, radio goo goo radio skeg ga. 15 minutes injury time. Clueless clown. While at work. mafia, you'd never get through that tyne tunnel son. Sorry balloons 🎈.
27 Apr 2024 06:05:34
🤣🤣🤣 you sounded like you was in a bit of a mood Bowie wonder why tiger and vape 🤣🤣.
26 Apr 2024 20:22:58
If Nuno Tavares is fit he must play. He's on a totally different level of ability and physical strength to Niakate, Omabamadele and Williams.
26 Apr 2024 22:50:26
Hes a wing back not a centre back
Not great at defending but good going forwards.
26 Apr 2024 20:21:48
Fellow Reds. I've been digesting all of your recent posts about our club's current woes - which have been excellent to read. We certainly show passion on this site as loyal supporters which is brilliant! My take on this, for what it's worth, is that we've now had more than our say about the injustices that our club has suffered from. VAR and refereeing standards within the PL are now in the news. Questions are now being asked about the current system which go way beyond Forest now. In life, it does feel good to stand up for your rights against the system, be a 'rebel' and argue your cause. However, there is also a time to shut-up once you have created those 'waves' and let them take their course. I think we have now made our point as a club. I would now love to see us fight for our place in the PL on the field with pride, but also with dignity.
26 Apr 2024 21:01:59
Well said Legless, good post mate. I agree, time to get stuck in on the pitch.
26 Apr 2024 23:04:18
Ira time for nuno to turn up and be the coach he's supposed to be?
To me He's one of life's moaners?
Arms crossed in the technical area with no sign of emotion?
When the defeat arrives?
It s never his fault?
Its down to referee's
Has anyone heard his name sung at the city ground?
He's a strange one for me.
26 Apr 2024 23:07:50
Well said, let the football do the talking now🤞🤞after Man City, not looking forward to that.
27 Apr 2024 12:40:36
The biggest injustice by var was the disallowed goal by Coventry, that was a magic event for them taken away because of a toe cap. Football's biggest events being ruined with delays in decisions or turning a blind eye. 🙈.
27 Apr 2024 13:39:07
100% mate.
27 Apr 2024 20:49:04
Offside is offside, Castle Rock.
26 Apr 2024 20:15:51
Just a few observations
1 / they always shoot the messenger
2/ The top premier league teams were secretly planning to break away, which would have seriously impacted the money coming in to the remnants of the league. No punishments handed out as far as I know.
3/ FA guidelines state that referees have to declare conflicts of interest when officiating in a particular game. Did Atwell declare any and if so who allowed him to carry on?
4/ why do full backs give wingers so much space in the modern game?
5/ why don't we have players on the posts for corners?
6/ why are players read War and Peace when they're preparing to come on as subs?
7/ why is a Derby fan in charge of the club's official tweets when trying to justify the clubs season card waiting list and season card pricing policy amid the genuine concern that some long term loyal fans will find it financially difficult to carry on? Are they deliberately winding people up?
8/ why is Gary Neville a dick?
9/ why did Souness on Talk Sport say refs aren't biased then go on to say they do favour the big clubs and that it takes a brave ref to give a pen at the Kop end against Liverpool?
10 / and the last one. The FA cup has been decimated again for benefit of the top clubs playing in Europe. No big nights at Old Trafford or The Emirates etc, as a reward for holding one of the so called giants to a replay.
Greed is ruining this game.
Ah feeling a lot better now with that lot off me chest.
Right, bring on City and let's give em a bloody good tabbing.
They've probably spent more on bloody lawyers in trying to dodge having 115 charges looked at, than we've spent on players.
Happy days.
26 Apr 2024 20:53:19
Said from day one let the big so called 6 clubs go and make more money for Sky sports and less money for grass roots Gary Neville is a limp dick and there's a few more with him they are beholding to their pay master's from Shearer down disappointed in Keane and Pearce my heroes also but money talk's. Having a moan I know. ps hope we finish strong if it keeps us up great.
26 Apr 2024 23:42:14
Spot on Jester!
27 Apr 2024 10:45:18
Pundits jumping on the bandwagon, some we just know will but ex aReds Keane Pearce Collymore joining saying the club have no class, where is their class, all three lost my respect.
If you can’t say nothing about a club that made you, shut up and use your brain.
CARLO.
