Nottingham Forest banter 2

17 Apr 2024 19:39:41
I'm shocked. Not only by the crazy price increase on season cards, but more so that Sarah Clapson has actually written a reasoned article on the subject for the NP.

17 Apr 2024 21:31:20
Any joy with your request for a ticket for the Chelsea game legless?

17 Apr 2024 21:50:58
It's only right that the season tickets go up, my TV licence has.

17 Apr 2024 23:25:04
I've been overtaken by events RV. I've been invited to a garden party at Buckingham Palace to represent my old Corps on 17th May - so, not being a very good traveller these days I can't do 2 weekends travelling to/ from Cornwall in a row. I suppose meeting the Royals should come first - just!

17 Apr 2024 23:36:15
I. d. i. o. t.

18 Apr 2024 10:38:59
That wasn't for you by the way Legless.

18 Apr 2024 13:00:49
Don't lie baldy 🤣🤣.

18 Apr 2024 17:20:51
No worries Gazz. Must admit, I was wondering!

17 Apr 2024 12:38:30
To remind you all of an old saying “Be careful what you wish for!
CARLO.

17 Apr 2024 12:56:08
I keep wishing for a lottery win but forgetting to enter.

17 Apr 2024 16:39:20
Balloons keeps wishing for a bingo win that ain't happening neither 🤣.

17 Apr 2024 18:28:27
HOUSE! One winner in Skegness claims the National link of £2.50 🥴🎈.

17 Apr 2024 12:26:58
I think we should stop telling people not to post or bother supporting Forest when people aren't happy with the team/ boss/ owners. It's just plain BS and out of order.

If everyone who has had a moan stopped posting on here, there wouldn't be anyone here, would there. Give your heads a wobble. 🤐.

17 Apr 2024 16:49:15
I have a wobble everyday.

17 Apr 2024 10:49:47
Season card big rises just announced.

17 Apr 2024 11:48:22
Tell me about it!

My 3 gone up bout 20% works out £55 a game whichbi can live with however it's now doubled in price from 1st season in prem

Gotta pay for lingard Dennis sangare 2 rubbish keepers n a load of others mind.

17 Apr 2024 12:41:34
With over 10, 000 on the supposed waiting list isn’t it time the owner and city council got the ground improvements sorted one way or another, new stand or move away. Can’t see much of a roof lifting atmosphere at the next home game.

17 Apr 2024 14:21:55
I’mnot an advocate for moving but when you see other stadiums then take a look at the city ground you do realise it’s a bit shabby, and that’s being kind. We all know the peter Taylor stand isn’t fit for purpose, then look at the Trent end, it’s a death trap at half time. You have people queuing up for the bar and both toilets, you just can’t move. Can’t see any solution to this issue other than a new stadium big enough to accommodate all the issues. If the owner is ambitious to move the club forward then let’s have a stadium fit for it. And yes next season we might be in the championship, but that shouldn’t matter, let’s plan for the future.

17 Apr 2024 18:32:55
You don't have to go stripe. Spend you money at Recliners R us. A 65" TV and a crate of ale like skegs 🤣🎈.

17 Apr 2024 07:39:05
Congratulations to our neighbours and good friends Mansfield Town on their deserved promotion to League 1

Well done Nigel Clough and the lads

Forest and Mansfield the pride of Nottinghamshire.

17 Apr 2024 10:25:18
Well done "Our No 9!"

17 Apr 2024 07:39:30
{Ed's Note - Tumbleweed! has posted a new article entitled, Player Assessment At Manchester United

16 Apr 2024 16:39:53
Looks a good team in the main MUNMAD although with respect to Danilo, he repeatedly goes missing in away matches and hasn't shown enough bottle in them yet - how many chances does he get and can a manager afford to take the risk? Not for the faint hearted at Goodison on Sunday. Also I wouldn't have Omabamadele anywhere near the first team - on a train back to the Championship preferably.

16 Apr 2024 12:13:41
Chelsea showed how to turn Wverton over their glaring weakness is their full backs Young and Coleman both have been good in their time but have lost 2 yds of pace now!

Elanga and Williams down the right and CHO and Aina on the left should tear them apart Tarkowski and Branthwaite are dangerous from set pieces so Boly has to play

Sels

Williams
Boly
Murrilo
Aina

Dominguez
Danilo

Elanga
MGW
Hudson Odoi

Wood

Subs Turner Obamadele Yates Sangare Tavares
Montiel Reyna Riberio.

16 Apr 2024 13:02:29
I’d go with that team Munmad. I think Boly is injured but I’d always prefer him in to compensate for Murillos lack of height.
It will be tough though. Everton collectively and individually were poor and even Pickford looked like Turner. You just know he will play a blinder on Sunday. On the plus side I would think MGW will be licking his lips at how much space young Palmer was given last night.

16 Apr 2024 13:12:32
Good call with that team hope Nuno agrees with you.

16 Apr 2024 15:26:07
They look purposeful and strong going forward. Beto might be fancying his chances Sunday lunchtime. PS. Did Pickford really clap his hands above his head after conceding that goal? Why?

16 Apr 2024 15:29:41
I would put Reyna instead of HO. He does not pass and tries to hard to take on 2 or 3 players. I think if you look at the stats he has no assists and few goals. You can perhaps see why he has failed at a number of clubs. I suspect we signed him on his agents recommendation and maybe the thought SC would get out of him what no one else has.

16 Apr 2024 15:48:34
What wouldn’t I give to have a giant warrior for this dog fight of a run in, someone who bleeds Nottingham Forest and will willingly put his body on the line and is also a born leader, know anyone who fits the bill?
CARLO.

16 Apr 2024 15:50:48
Season ticket renewals just been posted, thankfully they’ve kept the old format. but still a big price hike mines gone up over 50 pounds, and we still don’t know what div we will be in next season. 10, 000 on the waiting list apparently already. So that’s 100, 000 pounds in the coffer for nothing.

16 Apr 2024 15:52:00
Not at our club mate no, sadly in the top league you do have to have enough talent to play at this level as well and I don’t believe we have a player with all those attributes. That means we have plenty of commitment but very little talent, where we have talent we lack the spirit you describe above.

16 Apr 2024 16:52:19
Munmad in my opinion that middle 2 would get overpowered, if ever there is a game for Ryan it’s Everton away.

16 Apr 2024 20:42:09
Yes Stevie f, Ryan Yates had a good game up there last season.

16 Apr 2024 20:47:51
I think Awoniyi may be on the bench for the Everton game.

16 Apr 2024 22:22:16
Carlo - I'm sure we're thinking the same thing. Come back Psycho in any role at our Club!

17 Apr 2024 09:40:28
No I, m not thinking the same thing, the man in my mind is still planning and still a Forest player but not available for season.
CARLO.

17 Apr 2024 10:20:31
Always said if you don't like watching us live and moan about it then give the season card up for good and let one of those ten thousand have it instead.

17 Apr 2024 12:17:34
It's always been part of being a supporter. Moaning, getting over-optimistic when we win only 2 games this year, depressed when we lose one, loving a player even though he is cr4p at corners, over-hyping youngsters etc.

16 Apr 2024 11:32:52
Well I've just been to the vets to have our 18 year old cat put to rest which was traumatic enough, but when i was there a horrible little French Bulldog decided to munch on my hand. So now I'm at the Urgent Care Centre with puncture wounds in four fingers waiting to see a doctor when i should be at home with the Mrs. celebrating our 20th anniversary. The waiting time is only six hours though! Great! It's going to be one of those days me thinks.

16 Apr 2024 12:07:18
You've still got more chance of scoring than Origi!

16 Apr 2024 12:10:37
Your not having a great day then whatever you do don't back forest to win this weekend with your luck.

16 Apr 2024 12:52:43
Sorry to hear about your day Perko. I know it’s a cliche but once the kids have upped sticks and left home pets do become part of the family don’t they? We have a 3 year old rescue cat found as a kitten living in a cardboard box in a derelict car port in Oswestry. Scared to death of humans ( very wisely) but absolutely devoted to my wife and I. My commiserations mate but I’m sure your cat was well loved and lived her best life. 😞.

16 Apr 2024 13:15:56
Sorry to hear about your wee cat mate. it is horrible when you lose them.

16 Apr 2024 15:36:44
Commiserations Perko. Not a great day for you pal.
It could be worse though, you could live in Skegness.

16 Apr 2024 16:00:09
Perko commiserations mate, some people say it’s only a cat, but you do become attached, it’s sad mate, a good old age 18, am sure He/ she had a good life, rip little one,

16 Apr 2024 16:35:00
You missing me baldy 😁.

16 Apr 2024 17:23:42
Let me think about that for a millisecond.

16 Apr 2024 17:28:44
Thanks so much for your comments lads.
Much appreciated. Thank you. 🔴⚪️❤️.

16 Apr 2024 20:09:51
I'm sorry to read your news Perko. It's frightening how close we all get to cats and dogs who become part of our families. I have to say though - please keep an eye on your own health after the dog bite. You have done the right thing getting it treated asap. I was stupid enough not doing so after a dog bite and then contracted Sepsis. I'm a bit paranoid about the subject now and I don't want to concern you - but if you get any sickness or the trots get yourself back to the Dr's mate.

16 Apr 2024 20:40:24
Sorry for your loss. My cat made 20, one of the saddest days of my life. Sounds like he had a good life and kind people around him.

16 Apr 2024 20:49:14
Perko: did the dog get a tetanus jab? Lol, seriously though, hope you’re OK.

17 Apr 2024 09:23:45
Thanks again lads for your kind words and advice.
🔴⚪️❤️.

16 Apr 2024 07:39:33
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool v Crystal Palace - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

16 Apr 2024 13:14:46
Another interesting read Ed 1. Like you I was surprised that Klopp didn’t wait until the end of the season to announce his departure. The last thing you want at the business end of the season is uncertainty for the future.
Tactically I think Liverpool missed the bravery of the youngsters too. Palace worked very very hard to their credit. All is not lost as Arsenal were unexpectedly defeated. It could be like Black Week in the Boer War where the British Army suffered 3 defeats in a week ( Stormberg, Magersfontein and Colenso) but went on to win the War. They realised they had underestimated their opponents, changed tactics and did sensible things like issued modern rifles to their cavalry units instead of lances, used long range modern artillery and balloons to reconnoiter. Liverpool might well turn the corner tactically in a similar way, become more mobile and not just think they have to turn up to achieve victory ( especially at Anfield and after being given a football lesson in the Europa ).

{Ed001's Note - I would love to think you are right, but I can't see it. Lijnders has Klopp's ear and he is tactically useless but too far up his own arse to see it.}

15 Apr 2024 22:19:41
Wow Everton smashed by Chelski. If ever there was a time to beat a team completely demoralised then Sunday is that day. Plus their game in hand is Liverpool the Wednesday after playing us. Will definitely see who is up for the sweat and blood of the Garabaldi on Sunday if certain players aren't up for it, tear up that contract and see you later alligator.

16 Apr 2024 06:39:05
Yep 6 nil and that cole Palmer what a player some of his goals were cracking all in our hands again 3 points against Everton and things won't be looking so bad.

16 Apr 2024 07:03:24
We've been given a huge boost, Everton can only be shell shocked after last night, let's go for the jugular on Sunday!

16 Apr 2024 07:22:56
We need to score 2 goals at least on Sunday and stop them at set pieces easy 😋😋😋.

16 Apr 2024 07:47:05
Think your asking just a bit to much in stopping them at set pieces jester😂.

16 Apr 2024 08:18:49
Could we ask Cooper to instruct us in the low block method while he's spending our compensation money.

16 Apr 2024 08:31:55
Id rather get balloons his beers in all night and that's never going to happen 😂.

16 Apr 2024 09:11:35
Buy mine Skeggs cheap night smell of the barmaids apron 🤣🤣🤣.

16 Apr 2024 11:39:04
You owe me a bucket full after last week Skegs. You cost me a fortune and drank a months pension 🤣🤣🎈.

16 Apr 2024 20:52:01
Well Sunday is going to go one of two ways:
Everton, demoralised will be there for the taking.
Or
Everton, demoralised after the drubbing, get a rocket up their ass by Dyche, and in turn come out like wasps from a kicked wasps nest!

15 Apr 2024 22:17:35
Had a big win at Mecca this afternoon then went to pick my new personalised plates up then called in the Larwood and Voce for a nice tea, couple of pints before headed home to watch my 65 TV while the wife checks my accounts and pensions.
Similarly day tomorrow.
CARLO.

16 Apr 2024 06:14:00
That doesn't suprise me Carlo and I bet you did all that on your free bus pass 🤣.

16 Apr 2024 10:48:13
oh no, i, ve got a brand new car or we have a Taxi
CARLO.

16 Apr 2024 11:42:40
Don't know what you've got against pensioners skegs. When you retire in 20yrs time ( be about 75yrs old to qualify by then 🤣) You can go to bingo every afternoon session 🤣🤣🎈.

15 Apr 2024 14:44:32
The handling of the new campaign in the Premier League after 23 years absence at best has been amateurish at and more accurately a corporate shambles. Football fair play apart there are so many areas where we have no plans or are losing ridiculous amounts of money.
Nothing in place regarding stadium improvements or capacity increase; Blackburn, Coventry, Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Leicester, Derby, Sheffield United, etc. all have stadia with bigger capacities and key facilities haven't been improved (I still witness brawls and conflicts between our own fans over the use of toilets! ).
We have too many players of the same type signed who can't score a goal.
We have been conned by players with an international track record e. g. Freuler, Lingard
Players have disappeared who could have developed into goalscoring options
Strikers haven't been scouted properly and no research done on injury records.
Impossible for the managers to keep players happy with the numbers so that players know they're not going to get a run in the team
Players who are finished at PLlevel not let go and taking ridiculous wages, e. g. Kouyate
International duty not considered when putting a squad together (should be limits on this)
Prices hiked around the ground and for merchandise with no consultation.
All this and now a season ticket concession issue the fans should stage a friendly protest NOW before the owners have a chance to act!

15 Apr 2024 18:05:31
The week we got promoted back to the premiership I relinquished my seat. never rated this league, neverwill, along with VAR.
If we are relegated rest assured I will be looking to get my season ticket again. Supported the reds for 73 years and will carry on doing so by attending the bread and butter leagues.
Having associates one who is a regular servant to the FA, and another who is associate s with the PFA, gets me some valuable insight of what we as a club are up against in the premiership. Another close associate is connected to the Scottish FA, also an insight of how things are.
With this limited knowledge it allows me to evaluate my attendance at games, that's why I hope on one hand not to be looking for a season ticket, but am assessing the possibilities that I may be at the City Ground next season.
Always have, and always be a Garabaldi.

15 Apr 2024 23:21:23
Why don't you try giving some credit?
Marinakis got us there when everyone else failed especially doughty who took us the other way.

Yes we made some bad signings, what club doesn't?
Dele Ali at 28 and costing Everton a fortune
Why anyone would prefer their team in a lower league is beyond me
The stadium can't be built while ever the council own the land and the boat club won't play ball.

Yes we've bought some bad players but also bought some good ones
Elanga 5 goals plus 8 assists at 21
Hudson 5 plus 1
Wood 12 plus 1

Add murillo, danilo, MGW just yo name a few and they will make a lot of money back for the club
Now are you sure you support forest or just love moaning?
Everton lost six nil tonight, I have never feared we would lose by that margin all season.

I don't bother much anymore because it's as if you only come on to moan
Nothing constructive to say at all
Just doom and gloom merchant's.
