Arter and clattenburg first two out for me, should buy a new ball boy and lady steward fending off leeds supporters if it comes to it.
Remember west ham bringing in psycho, we know where his heart is.
If your going to bring in people to bring in supportive contributions then give that young man a chance.

The WFCG needs something to look up to. Manager and players are struggling to do it. Also the owner bless him on wrong decisions.
It's the and sorry for the cliche, eye of the tiger we need. Players can't go in hard these days. But there work rate and positional sense can be highlighted from the master. Away fans will never change, can't tell ya how proud i am of them. One for stokey, i Remember the yanks using the italian mafia as a massive influence as they invaded. Keeping it shy from it's allies like us.

GET THAT PISTOLS ROCKING FROM THE CHANGING ROOMS AND TRAIN THEM HARD TO GET THIGHS LIKE ARNIES. ? we need influence not f kn flatulence. COYR.

Nice one mate, how about this should we go down and I for one don't think we will but if it happens could you see our Nigel coming in. I've been watching his interviews of late, he gets more like his dad every day.

20 Mar 2024 20:44:54
Red vale my friend, his old man had peter taylor, I've brought it up many times. We all know sir brian was the ultimate in discipline and keeping feet on the ground. But them days are gone. nigel for me. Without doubt served his apprenticeship. But it's sadly in the premier, old school has beens who somehow get the jobs. I actually think nigel would agree with me saying he's done more than enough for us on the pitch. And should stay well clear of the misgivings going on atm. Just my opinion.

20 Mar 2024 20:48:35
Those ships sailed along time ago
Just saying.

20 Mar 2024 20:53:36
Btw i only meant psycho as a training coach and influencer not head coach.

20 Mar 2024 21:03:44
I thought you was the binfluencer bowie in your tower block (Ant and Dec house) What is it this week? Cardboard or General waste? ??.

20 Mar 2024 21:33:29
Picked it up yesterday balloons check the back garden. Pssssst double glaze your glasses with them vodka bottle bottoms all about recycling ting ting.

20 Mar 2024 21:38:47
Yes you're probably right, I think he's on a mission with Mansfield. Balloons why are you so rude to people?, your not a child and I'm sure your a decent person so show some humanity. We're only on this earth for a short while so try and enjoy it.

20 Mar 2024 23:05:41
Don't waste your breath Red Vale mate. He's been like it ever since he came on here. You will notice the atmosphere change when he posts mate.

21 Mar 2024 05:03:13
Red Vale I'm having a laugh with Bowie as he does with me. We are the best of mates and take the rip out of each other all the time. Hense the title Banter page. Your new on here I believe so chill mate. You'll either join in or fold I'm my experience mate. Keep posting and enjoy mate. ?.

21 Mar 2024 10:28:40
I don't fold to anyone, nor will I be rude or patronising and sarcastic to fellow reds.

21 Mar 2024 10:51:56
Good reply Red Vale.
You will pick out the genuine from the wind up merchants on here quickly enough I'm sure mate.

21 Mar 2024 14:30:01
Bowie, my friend, in answer to your question mate about the Allies accommodation of the Mafia during the Sicily invasion, yes I was aware of it mate. In fact I recently read Paul Holland s excellent book “The Savage Storm” about the invasion of Italy in 1943, where it’s documented. It was a pragmatic policy approved by all the top brass right up to Eisenhower, Montgomery and Churchill. Our leaders were wise people in those days.

Mountbatten did the same in the Far East allowing the Japanese Army to remain in control in all the re conquered territories ( except India the British Jewel in the Crown) because firstly our Armed Forces were depleted and the soldiers ( mainly conscripts) just wanted to go home and secondly the locals had the fear of God put into them because they had seen how ruthless and barbaric the Japanese were. There was consequently a peaceful transition.

In contrast, after the Gulf War then Desert Storm a posh Harvard boy with no experience of the Middle East called Paul Bremer was put in charge of Iraq by George W. Bush. He disarmed and dismantled Saddams defeated Iraqi Army ( and Saddams Ba’aath party civil service). Consequently, the Americans and Brits had half a million unemployed disgruntled ex soldiers with no money causing trouble. This ignited Civil War with the numerous other sects so that we and the Americans lost many many more troops than we ever lost in the actual war and God only knows how many Iraqis died.

It’s just local knowledge mate and knowing how things work on the ground. The basis ( or should be) of all good Police Work and keeping the lid on things….

21 Mar 2024 15:35:10
Nice one stokey mate ? I've been pigging out on ww2 in colour, Netflix. As I'm on the sick again. Second time of viewing it all. Amazing footage keeps your feet firmly to the ground and reminds ya just how lucky we are since the great fight took place.
Actually while your there stokey, and any other elders on here. I have a strange question. I normally have a walk around the loch where i live. and the amount of people i pass with tourettes walking dogs is unreal. I know people probably think I've got it amount of swearing i do. But no seriously i can't for the life of me remember anyone in my younger days with it. By the way it really is obvious they have it. Did any of you lot in the 60s/ 70s know anyone with it?

{Ed001's Note - I am in the middle of watching through that too Bowie - excellent stuff.}

21 Mar 2024 15:59:00
My mum used to have it Bowie ?
She used to shout come Sebastian I'll kill ya. Well that's what it sounded like anyway ??.

21 Mar 2024 16:06:53
USA, USA, USA. At school I was taught they were our saviours. Defeated the Germans single-handedly, apparently. What a load of rubbish that turned out to be.

21 Mar 2024 16:21:38
Derby try asking the Russians who won the 2nd world war they’re in no doubt, it cost them 20 million lives who could argue.

21 Mar 2024 16:57:06
So what did you learn at school, derby? Believe me, without the yanks we'd have been spent. And don't ever put your ignorance before true judgement. Try asking a lot of American families who's loved ones give their lives young man.

21 Mar 2024 16:59:02
I'm aware of who effectively won the war, Stevie. It was just the pro-American rubbish I was fed at school.

21 Mar 2024 17:25:28
Good afternoon Bowie. I’m sorry to hear you are off sick. Hope it’s nothing too serious mate?
Like you and Ed 1 I’m fascinated by WW2 ( and history generally) because it seems so comparatively to me, born in 1956 so I grew up able to listen to family, friends and people generally who had gone through it.
It was a rare “righteous “ war against an evil, ruthless, barbaric Fascist enemy where that Golden generation stood up ( against incredible odds) for what was morally right. This country was for a long time ( 6 years) the last line of resistance against the advent of a new Dark Age and the end of civilisation. Churchill was right …. “ If this country lasts for a thousand years men will say “this was its finest hour”.
It makes me laugh when I hear politicians call for conscription. This country is no longer physically, mentally or morally able to endure the self sacrifice required. We saw that in the last existential threat we faced, c.v., when the divisions, acrimony and self interest which dominates the way things are run came to the fore. Like Carlo, I blame Thatcher ( ironically the last politician to embark on a morally right War in the Falklands) for her statement that there is no such thing as society.
Anyway, rant over. We ignore the lessons of history at our peril
As far as Tourette’s is concerned I never really came across it at all in my Police Service ( and you’d think it would come to our attention in the first instance). There was a ( legendary) Detective I worked with who holds the record for the most swear words ever in conversation, he could even insert one mid word never mind mid sentence ( as in effing excel effing ent or Su effing perb). But he controlled it when he wanted to (like giving evidence in Court for example so I guess he wasn’t truly subject to this affliction.
The only time I came across Tourette’s was after I’d retired from the Police and worked at the Public Analysts Office in Stafford itself for 9 years where I would regularly be treated to seeing a young guy rhh on a state of the art racing bike ( with all the newest gear and kit) weaving in and out of traffic gesticulating and swearing dogs abuse at everyone at the top of his voice whilst pointing aggressively.
I spoke to a local cop and he confirmed he had been arrested many times but never prosecuted due to him being a genuine Tourette’s syndrome sufferer. He had suffered numerous beatings at the hands of irate members of the public as well.

21 Mar 2024 20:15:08
Amazing reply stokey, man of the world. And much appreciated sir ?.

22 Mar 2024 07:48:11
Oh sorry, Bowie. They saved the world didn't they. Twice. Actually. Now they rule the world. They think they do, anyway. Super Yanks to the rescue.

22 Mar 2024 07:51:09
It doesn't hide the fact that what I was taught, regarding the USA defeated the Germans single-handedly, is totally incorrect. They were happy making money off selling weapons to all and sundry.

22 Mar 2024 09:18:54
Derby whoever taught ya the yanks done it single handedly was way off. Surely everyone knows that. Dunno how your history teacher got the job?

22 Mar 2024 10:41:59
It was in D*rbyshire though, Bowie. What do you expect?

20 Mar 2024 17:29:44
If we win the next 2 home games and Luton lose theirs then I think we will just about be OK. I don't care who plays just go out and smash em into the wall, " take no prisoners guvnor, sweat blood and thunder, let's show these dogs what it takes to win a war "

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 17:25:44
Well if we get relegated it won't matter anyway because we will have to sell and players will go for a lot less anyway. But if we stay up then we will find out by the end of June if and who goes for what price, won't we pal. ?.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 18:40:11
You ok Clough pal.

20 Mar 2024 22:47:37
All good Skeggy Jay pal???☹️???☺️all good.

20 Mar 2024 09:59:05
I see Gary Godden, an ex Nottinghamshire copper and Labour's new Nottinghamshire crime officer has thanked NOTTS FOREST blah blah Notts Forest. pratt!

Agree5 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 10:31:36
I don’t know him but I wish to disassociate myself from his remarks! ????.

20 Mar 2024 14:36:11
Why does it bother you if someone says Notts Forest, are peoples life's that empty simple things like that upset you. Who cares Notts Forest, Nottingham Forest does it really matter. Does it lift us put the relegation zone?
Ridiculous ?.

20 Mar 2024 16:16:48
Doesn’t bother me one bit either but I’m not from Nottingham so I’m guessing it is just a ‘Nottingham’ thing? Some get really rattled by it ??‍♂️.

20 Mar 2024 17:42:45
Must be a nottingham thing as it really winds me up, that ain't what we called or known as, bit lazy n ignorant from them who say it.

20 Mar 2024 19:03:39
It's because we have two clubs in Nottingham, one Nottingham and the other notts, rivalry can cause issues when incorrectly naming a club
Tbh most just call us forest.

20 Mar 2024 18:48:16
Balloons why does it bother you, that people are bothered by it? yours life obviously empty too,

20 Mar 2024 19:00:39
Cos it ain't Nottinghamshire Forest, it's Nottingham Forest, but if you're a Derby/ Stoke/ Leicester man you won't get it. ??.

20 Mar 2024 19:47:23
I don’t get cyclists either ??‍♂️?.

20 Mar 2024 20:03:13
Would anyone call the magpies Nottingham County?
No don’t think so.
So get out bloody name right please - not a lot to ask.

20 Mar 2024 20:20:01
Oh dear 2 tone that's why you don't get it ??.

20 Mar 2024 20:27:13
Evening Mr Angry AKA stevie. Just can't help ya self can ya ??.

20 Mar 2024 20:28:20
Wow that's told me cyclist. How do I get our of this one ????.

20 Mar 2024 20:41:47
Balloons only mr angry on here is you, slagging off the club and everything to do with it on every possible occasion, and having a pop at everyone in general, and with hypocrites like you, I can’t help myself you’re correct,

20 Mar 2024 21:04:58
That's the kind of guy I am o angry one ???.

20 Mar 2024 21:19:26
Balloons ??????hilarious.

20 Mar 2024 21:48:42
2tone, The whole cycling in the City is fecking dangerous and I should stop while I'm still breathing. We are risk-takers and want to stay fit so we can get out of bed and clothes without assistance as along as possible.

Nothing to get out of Balloons regarding what I said. If you get it, you get it. If Nuno doesn't get his sh1t together, though, I don't see how you can get out of admitting you were wrong repeatedly and publicly on here. AGAIN! ?.

21 Mar 2024 06:59:27
Never known balloons to be wrong cyclist he said cooper couldn't cope with premiership football and would be sacked because his football was rubbish. (Right) Also we needed a new manager (right) also cooper would not get a offer of a job from palace or any other premiership team (right) and cyclists shouldn't be allowed on the road (right) ????.

21 Mar 2024 07:49:44
Skegs, you and Balloons were on here telling us how Mr Nuno was a winner blah, blah, blah.

"If Nuno doesn't get his sh1t together, though, I don't see how you can get out of admitting you were wrong repeatedly and publicly on here. AGAIN! ?. "

Comprende?

21 Mar 2024 07:53:36
ETA: I hope you were both right, because the evidence so far is that you weren't right and Nuno is pretty useless and I don't want my club to go down.

Your record at being wrong about bosses is pretty strong, which is yet another worrying sign! ?

I'm also not into replacing the boss every 5 minutes, been there done that. Hopefully things turn around quickly.

21 Mar 2024 09:08:19
Patients dear chap. The mammoth task nuno has got of getting 2 years of parking the bus out of there systems is slowly materialising. At least we attack and have shots on target now.
Look at West Ham this season as opposed to last season. Look how long it took Arteta at Arsenal. We survive this season. Clean slate and go again next year. You'll see I'm right. You won't have your 15 minutes of fame at my expense. My football knowledge is to vast. You need to get over the Cooper worship and move on for the sake of your well being mate ?.

21 Mar 2024 12:12:38
Only 2 people mentioned the old coach in this thread. One day you will be right. Been waiting 3 years now. Tic, tic, tic.

20 Mar 2024 04:49:26
The Times claim we have to sell a 'star player' before the end of June or we'll fail this season's PSR. Is that before or after the Mangala deal goes through?

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 06:50:28
That’s us in the mire then ? where do we find a ‘star’ player from.

20 Mar 2024 07:22:24
Agree 2tone, not many to choose from given their performances this season. Perhaps Elanga may be looked at by other clubs, the rest not so sure.

20 Mar 2024 08:14:39
Murrilo boys he's the one he'll be gone like a hot potato if any of the big boys sniff around. Plus MGW and Awoniyi have interested clubs looking at them. But definitely Murrilo he won't wanna hang around if Liverpool or Arsenal come knocking, probably already told the bosses he wants offside.

20 Mar 2024 09:12:45
I was listening to a sport lawyer on the radio, he was saying Chelsea will have to sell 200 million worth of players and at least 3 home produced players, one being Gallagher, and having to get at least 50 million for him. If not there punishment this time next year, will make ours and Evertons a slap on the wrist. Oil rich Newcastle are having to sell as well, it's a way of keeping the money between a few teams, and Premier titles. Ambitious owners will go elsewhere or invest in other sports, and these rules don't stop a unscrupulous owner taking over a club look at Reading, it might have Mr Marinakis, at the end of the season saying "I'm off, I don't get this hassle with Rio Avenue! ".

20 Mar 2024 09:15:19
Murillo will be the most profitable. Signed for £12 million. We would make a healthy profit on him. Same with Elanga as well. Signed for £15 million. We could make a profit on him also. Then the club can waste it on rubbish.

20 Mar 2024 09:20:53
Murillo on 30 thousand a week 5 year contract even if we go down to championship we wouldn't after getting rid of him on them wages he would only go if a stupid amount of money came in for him.

20 Mar 2024 12:16:23
Very funny derbyred about par for the club in the last 20 years barring a few.

20 Mar 2024 12:24:57
Not about the wages skeggy Jay its about how much we have spent this season when the accounts are submitted in June. Plus last season plus 1 from the championship will be counted as the permitted 3 years, by my reckoning that will mean we will be allowed to lose 83 million. So if we are over budget again it will be see you later alligator to one or 2 players. Plenty of admirers for Murrilo and MGW. As we know loyalty in football is dead, can't see them 2 wanting to stick around if any of the top 7 come lurching like vultures even if we weren't in FFP trouble. The elite will always win " us small clubs just have to suck it up, make these players better players then let those knob scratches cherry pick who they want
. At least we will make a small profit which we can then waste on crap.

20 Mar 2024 12:54:28
I know what it's about Clough daddy same as it was for Johnson but we still hold all the cards to how much we get for him same as Johnson we don't after take peanuts for him or we keep him and sell mgw it would be the latter for me anyway we will be staying up so not really a concern.

20 Mar 2024 14:16:53
Well let's hope your right. Don't matter how much we hold out for though mate if a player wants offski then so be it, get rid. No point in keeping a player if he wants to go. Anyway my point wasn't about how much we get but having to sell because we overspent massively because our owner acted like a brat in a sweet shop. So it could be one or both that go, maybe none but I can see us selling at least one. Personally I think MGW will be happy to stay for the time being but think Murrilo who's been here a season would knock. on the door saying he wants to go if any of the top clubs come sniffing. Fight relegation at a new prem club or play chsmpions league football and have a chance of silverware. Loyalties don't exist anymore pal.

20 Mar 2024 14:46:11
Nobody's going to buy old chandelier legs Awoniyi. He's a total dud 10 games a season if all goes well.
We're stuck with him sadly but we're not going down anyway so roll on next season. This one's dead in the water for the second time in 2yrs. When you look how crap West Ham were last season and look at there league position now. Why couldn't we do that. We spent more money. Thank you Mr Cooper?.

20 Mar 2024 14:47:36
I know that there's only loyalty to money and I'm not sure about the fact mgw would be happy to stop here more than the fact I couldn't see any of the big teams making a move for him wouldn't say he's had a great season so far Murillo on other hand would get the pick of top 6 clubs but has I said at the right price pal.

20 Mar 2024 16:31:16
Someone still doesn't understand that the manager doesn't buy the players at forest.

20 Mar 2024 19:08:06
We don't know that we would need to sell players, we have some big earners off the books at end of June with their contracts up
Journalists won't know the current financial situation of forest or other clubs, they are just assuming
They might be right, but then again they could be wrong.

20 Mar 2024 21:51:38
You predict it 79 your always wrong ?.

20 Mar 2024 22:29:50
Where is there a prediction in my post?

19 Mar 2024 22:32:43
If we are fortunate enough to survive will we revert to type and start bringing in more poor over priced players instead of preparing in a measured assured way.
I tend to think our over ambitious owner and his lieutenant, s will just just get carried away again and it will be rinse and repeat.
CARLO.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Mar 2024 22:58:55
So you wish for a new owner?
Good luck with that carlo
No one buys a club worth nothing like forest unless they have ambition
The big man has that.

19 Mar 2024 23:26:06
If we survive it won’t be fortunate we will have earned it,

20 Mar 2024 07:25:33
I suppose you’re right Stevie but I don’t think we are any better than the teams that will come up from the championship so next season looks a struggle as well.
We are desperate for an identity and a way of playing.

20 Mar 2024 10:19:19
The big man has an ego, that is called blind ambition and usually as in this case leads to trouble.
CARLO.

20 Mar 2024 11:42:07
Carlo nobody had a bigger ego than Brian clough, don’t suppose you ever moaned about him, not many shrinking violets make billion dollar fortunes,

20 Mar 2024 12:24:52
The owner has his faults, no question about that but what’s done is done. I see Murillo m g w and Elanga going even if we stop up. But that should leave enough cash to buy a couple of replacements. It’s quality not quantity that we need.

20 Mar 2024 12:56:36
The doom and gloom why do you see all these players if we go up there all on long contracts and if they are sold it will be for good money so not the end of the world.

20 Mar 2024 12:58:58
Never said I want a new owner, like the current one to act more responsible, this is England not Greece.
Sir Brian was much better with PT, he reined his ego in, but different times.
CARLO.

20 Mar 2024 13:15:55
Good post Carlo.

19 Mar 2024 18:46:38
Dodged a bullet, get on with it. I more than admire luton for giving it a go. Ok we've pressed forward a little more. But to quote a couple. Come on here and help the cause? Lift the city ground etc. The only thing for me is the fact we simply got away with it. Can't see the players or fans going along with nuno. As for coming on here to help the cause what's all that about. We bring a ref in to help us out with what? We can't score goals or defend set pieces. No ref will ever change his or her these days mind. Not that a women would anyway. Big m my old mucker, hero to zero. don't get me wrong still got my FULL respect. But the bitch#s are out now since the cuddly toy of the city ground was taken away. Not saying any of this bad spirited. Just playing the game, SAY WHAT YA SEE.

19 Mar 2024 19:15:35
Bowie Luton have collected 3 points from 24 this Luton “fight ‘ is a bit of a myth.

19 Mar 2024 19:21:58
Agreed stevie, i think i was more going on about there spirit. Never say die.

19 Mar 2024 19:33:00
There a point above us in the league with no money spent ?.

19 Mar 2024 20:01:17
With the greatest of respect Bowie and I have a lot of respect for you, you shoot from the hip and have given me good advice in the past, there is nothing wrong with getting the supporters going. They have to play their part. Because if the worst happens well no one can say we didn't try.

19 Mar 2024 21:55:41
Bowie to be fair mate they folded like a pack of cards at Bournemouth,

20 Mar 2024 01:20:09
Thank you red vale sir, appreciated ?.

19 Mar 2024 18:18:26
Reading between the lines of the Commisions report they said words to the effect that the 4 points was not meant to punish Forest but to redress the balance of fairness towards other clubs. Are they thinking of Luton, like us come up from years in the wilderness. Looking at the rest of the teams they are either long established Prem or "yo yo" clubs in receipt of parachute payments.
The powers that be probably want the Hatters to survive at our expense as a defence against the allegation of inherent unfairness? Ie if Luton can stay within the limits why can't Forest?

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Mar 2024 18:54:24
By that I'd assume they meant, that we broke the rules but the other clubs in the league barring Everton didn't.

19 Mar 2024 19:01:18
Stokey pity the aren’t being fair to the rest of the teams and deducting man c and Chelsea.

19 Mar 2024 19:39:19
We admitted doing it we need to stop crying and move on.

19 Mar 2024 20:31:48
Yes, perhaps DTP, but I think all the other clubs who didn’t break the rules didn’t have to because they were long established in the Prem and in receipt of hundreds of millions quid ( except Everton who still managed to commit a breach). The promoted sides except Luton were in receipt of parachute payments giving them an advantage over other teams in the Championship and a flying start to life in the Prem ( except Sheff Utd who have decided to take a relegation hit and save the money for a Championship campaign next season ( a bit like Norwich did for years )

19 Mar 2024 21:11:53
That's why the efl clubs are happy with the government's new initiative and the premier arent.

19 Mar 2024 22:42:17
Can you get the bin dippers lawyers to give us a hand skeggs
You know that team in blue you support for finding a loophole?

20 Mar 2024 15:24:51
Nothing wrong with finding and exploiting loopholes, DTP. The government are using loopholes so they can continue buying oil from Russia.

19 Mar 2024 16:53:36
Sooo, 4 points deduction ? surely we have had that many took off us by refs that are employed by the premier league. Shall we go after them? We made a mistake by over spending and been punished. So what happens for blatant bad ref decisions ( not talking onside off side or hand ball not handball) I’m talking moving dead ball chalk, sending off players for world class tackles and bad drop ball decisions when we are seeing a game out. Surely we have to get some points back?‍♂️ oh wait……. Just going to climb out of bed and get my cornflakes ?.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Mar 2024 17:31:32
Obvious that they knew we were going to breach I think they gambled on a poss financial penalty but once everton got done it was always going to be points off

Take it on the chin n crack on and raise the roof last few home games there's a good few games we can win at home but we need to stay with them even if we concede first.

19 Mar 2024 19:08:57
Need to make it white hot for Dubai oil fc, cheating for years without sanction, ?.

19 Mar 2024 16:43:32
I ve posted on here before that our owner is almost entirely to blame for our predicament regarding the points deduction. For all the good things he has done for our famous club and massive investment etc the FFP shambles is an example of irresponsible and cavalier football club owners.
It came out in evidence that Mr M deliberately ignored his Finance Director s advice that the club was heading for a breach and he over rode it.
Also, the NFST has released a statement saying that, in numerous meetings with the Forest hierarchy they were repeatedly assured that everything was under control and they would avoid FFP punishment. This is a matter of public record and indisputable.
As I concluded before, in the words of the Trojan High Priest Laocoon in Virgil's Aeniad "Never trust a Greek even when he comes bearing gifts" ( in this case the huge Trojan Horse and we know how that turned out).

Great post Stokey. Love the allusion at the end. I see Mr M proudly presenting NFFC with the Golden Fleece on the Argo moored at Trent Bridge, except this time maybe it was just glitter without any honour!

Excellent Norfolk mate! ???
Thinking about it, is Mr Marinkinakos just Icarus in disguise, punished for trying to fly too high and too near the Sun?
Bowie, if you spot this post mate here’s a quiz teaser ( and for the rest of you if you’re so minded. What’s the link between Icarus and David Bowie? ???
Just as a footnote, our deduction has certainly got the pundits and media circus talking about the iniquity and in built unfairness of the Premier League, especially in relation to newly promoted teams with no parachute payments like us ( uniquely).

The labyrinth stokey, greek myth I'd imagine?

19 Mar 2024 19:04:34
Stokey the Greek has steered us back into the top flight after nearly a quarter of a century though, the prudent late mr doughty failed time and again,

19 Mar 2024 19:09:47
Maybe the Greek myth (ed) out on how to use a calculator Bowie!

You've lost me Norfolk is this for another crystal ?.

19 Mar 2024 20:33:47
Good point Stevie as long as the big man’s ambition doesn’t lead us straight back down again. Personally I think we be ok but it will be tight mate!

19 Mar 2024 20:53:27
Good call Bowie, with the Labyrinth being invented by Daedalus the father of Icarus. But the more convoluted link starts with the painting “Landscape with Icarus Falling” by Bruegel the Elder, Dutch Old Master circa 1560. In 1938 the poet WH Auden visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels where he was living at the time where he saw the painting and was so taken with it wrote the poem “Museum des Beaux Artes” about it.
Fast forward to the 1970s where the British film director Nicholas Roeg read the poem then saw the painting and became obsessed with the myth of Icarus.
In 1976 he made his film version of the story but with a sci fi vibe and called it “The Man Who Fell to Earth” starring your man David Bowie who was also fascinated by the story as it fitted in with his alter ego Ziggy!
Although Bowie later said he couldn’t remember much about the making of the film because he was taking at least 10 ozs of cocaine daily to combat his anxiety problems!
Amazing story 400 years in the making!

Sorry Bowie, just a bad pun about out owners apparent poor maths over this!

19 Mar 2024 22:30:47
What's the point getting upset
It's not scholar, doughty or fawaz in charge
He didn't expect to be fighting a relegation fight with the players he bought in and neither did I tbh
So wasn't concerned about a possible points deduction?

20 Mar 2024 10:45:07
Good information there stokey. Thank you ?.

19 Mar 2024 11:59:42
4 wins and we stay up simple as we are in a league of 4 imo

Forest
Brentford
Everton
Luton

We've got to ensure we don't finish bottom as we we still got to play Everton Palace Sheff Utd and Burnley our fate is in our hands

We can and will do it COYR.

Thank you for posting that Ed. Very informative and concise mate! ??.

{Ed001's Note - thank you Stokey.}

I've got an idea why don't we all try getting on on this site and getting behind our team
Yes we all can have differing opinions but now is the time more than ever for us red fans to stick together.

All we have to do is beat Palace and Fulham at home and we will be five points clear of Luton
They won't get any points from spurs and arsenal in their next two games and that's a cert.

19 Mar 2024 11:09:13
Mate I say this every year;we are entering the Crazy Phase of the season, form gos out the window.
Nothing is certain, just watch it all unfold.

19 Mar 2024 13:01:46
Crazy is right, plenty of twist and turns, not a fan of Bournemouth but that game with Luton, they could have just given up. But turn's out they did us a big favour.
