Nottingham Forest banter 9

06 Apr 2024 14:01:40
Got a good feeling about our trip to Tottenham tomorrow I think we will get 3 pts last time I had this feeling about an away match in London is when we beat Chelsea at the Bridge

We are travelling down by car today and having a night out in the smoke tonight

I think we have found our best 11 atm which is

Sels

Williams
Obamadele
Murrilo
Aina

Yates
Danilo

CHO
MGW
Elanga

Wood

Possibly Dominguez for Danilo but the rest nailed on for me

Neco is my player of the season so far he is playing out of his skin atm since being given a run in the side COYR.

06 Apr 2024 22:30:17
I still would put Reyna in instead of Elanga or instead of Elanga another centre back. Every ball possible should go to MGW and then from him to Woods and then a goal!

06 Apr 2024 12:45:23
Mindful of the fact that this is a football banter site - I hope this post is OK with the Eds as it is for charity. Any help you guys can give me along the way would be really appreciated. I'll have a good support team with me for safety - but I'll be climbing the favourite mountain of SAS training - Pen Y Fan - 'legs-off'. I'll either be pushing myself in a wheelchair or crawling up if I get knackered! I'll keep you info'd.

Are you a member of the British legion legless?

06 Apr 2024 13:46:40
Ed?
How about having a "Moaner Of The Month" competition?
Just for a laugh lol!

06 Apr 2024 14:06:06
Wed all be joint top for that rogie be a lot of first place medals ?.

06 Apr 2024 15:00:55
Good luck legless mate! ??????I ve posted on here before that I worked with a lot of ex military during my Police career and they were all a credit to themselves, their families and society as a whole.
I am Gift Aid registered with the British Legion so I’ll make a donation there as before.

06 Apr 2024 16:27:14
Many thanks for posting Ed. Thanks Stokey and Skegs - I'm not a member of the RBL but I work for a similar forces charity called SSAFA. I'm climbing Pen Y Fan to raise money for my wheelchair rugby team, to help get more disabled people playing sport again.

{Ed033's Note - Ok LeglessRed, good luck - sounds like a tough task.

Rogie, i think Ed7 won it last month. :)

06 Apr 2024 17:04:05
We could have a longest rambling poster award for Stokey.

06 Apr 2024 17:47:24
We could call it 'The Ronnie Corbett Award' Cyclist. As I said before I do love Stokey's posts, but I fear going for a beer with him as my ears might start bleeding!

06 Apr 2024 17:48:37
Got that one safely in the cabinet already Cyclist! ??.

06 Apr 2024 18:08:13
I bet stokeys beer his flat before he finishes talking ??.

06 Apr 2024 19:34:22
Very funny Ed!
My wife says I'd win it "EVERY MONTH! "
????
Ps!
Great to have fun back on here!

06 Apr 2024 19:36:46
Here "Stella" do you think there's a place in Europe for 2nd and 3rd mate?
???.
Or would there have to be a "Moan-Off"?
??????.

06 Apr 2024 21:56:17
Rogie - let's face it. Given the roller coaster of supporting Forest for so long we have to have a sense of humour to even survive it. It's nice to be alongside fellow-sufferers at last!

06 Apr 2024 10:18:32
With apologies in advance to our estimable Skeggs I've attempted a Bowie style lyrical arrangement in an idle moment ( of which I have many) and called it "The New Boy Rap". ( just a bit of fun and no offence intended).

He's dusted down his recliners
For which he's had some decliners
And a dearth of sixty niners
His slippers are by the fire
Just like an American diner
The microwave is on the timer
He's a Cooper denier
He thinks Nuno is the finer
But our League position is no higher
Some Eds think he's a whiner
Some want to give him a shiner
But he ain't no gun for hire
He fights fire with fire
He ain't no social climber
And he ain't no liar either
He's always in the more
And the end of the season is nigher
But he's always been an opiner
He won't join in the choir
And he certainly won't retire
As he's always been a trier
And it's going down to the wire.
????.

{Ed001's Note - the bit I am having trouble with is you rapping. It is a very difficult thing to imagine Stokey.}

06 Apr 2024 10:41:48
Ed, mate, there’s absolutely no beginning to my talents! ???By the way “more” should have read “mire”!

{Ed001's Note - I really think we all deserve to hear you rap this song for us Stokey!}

06 Apr 2024 10:49:15
Mate, I’d have to plead guilty to Cultural Appropriation. But, as Shakespeare once said “Don’t believe everything you read online”! ??.

{Ed001's Note - I am disappointed we won't get to see Stoke's answer to Eminem....}

06 Apr 2024 11:39:20
You, ve obviously missed your vocational Stokey, mind you it’s not as a poet ??
CARLO.

06 Apr 2024 12:08:21
Stokey the history buff a ex copper that likes to play with a handcuff his long comments make you tyer ? but you do after admire the time he spends with a book and to be all honest I don't give a f##k. just a little go while I'm working ?? now you will start everyone off stokey you boy ???.

06 Apr 2024 15:11:29
He will have learnt in underwood miners welfare Ed, a hot bed of local talent, then, now and always ….

{Ed001's Note - talent obviously has a different meaning where you are from....}

06 Apr 2024 15:49:49
Trust me mate - it really is very different - maybe not so much now but in the mining days it really was. No one really ever moved away, a language and a humour of its own!

06 Apr 2024 08:01:48
Two matches to watch out for today, Everton Burnley and Luton Bournemouth. The toffees match will be a humdinger and likely draw. Luton I think will win, as Bournemouth will have their toes in the sand. Forest I am hoping for a draw. All in all leaving us in the same league position.

06 Apr 2024 08:42:39
Burnley Bournemouth and a forest win his my treble and I'm always right even when I take my winning betting slip to the counter and come away with nothing ?.

06 Apr 2024 10:27:27
The team can only be confident after Tuesday night?
MGW will make them aware of this I'm sure. all we ask is that they apply themselves like they did, who knows where it will take us?
Maybe take us to all 3 points?
I'm sure we can!
COYRS!

06 Apr 2024 15:52:54
I hope Morgan focuses on playing well rather than boating to impress his likely next employer and fans. He will be at spurs next season so let’s hope he focusses on his current employer for the next few games - I don’t resent him for likely move BTW - good luck to him ….

06 Apr 2024 07:39:30
{Ed's Note - DLIB has posted a new article entitled, Cool heads must prevail at Manchester United

05 Apr 2024 21:10:28
Brereton Diaz still only 24 on loan to the Blunts from Villarreal they got him on a free decent player so you think he's worth a gamble back at Forest?

05 Apr 2024 22:11:34
Not for me mate.

06 Apr 2024 09:25:29
Me neither mate, he hasn't really kicked on.

06 Apr 2024 15:11:49
I don't know he woke hard, gets in good positions and has contributed to goals and assists his last games. Hard to come on loan to the prem. especially with the team he is with. I like to see passion and work ethic. Surely what we are about. then again who knows.

06 Apr 2024 21:56:57
Yeah fair point Syd.

05 Apr 2024 19:58:18
Reading the comments it seems I have offended a few people. Let me tell you I live and die Forest. I attended home and away for over 4 years. If I see a manger not upto scratch I call it out. My first man was Allan Brown. Nuno isn’t a patch on him or many since. He is a charlatan. That’s my personal opinion and I don’t give a hoot if it’s yours or not. I will continue to call it as I see it and if that doesn’t fit in with your agendas tough luck.

05 Apr 2024 22:19:22
It's all just opinions Frog - none right, none wrong - as long as we all share the same drive to will our club to better things.

05 Apr 2024 22:58:51
I didn't see any fans complaining about the performance he got out of the lads against Fulham best first half of football I've seen in many years as long as he keeps us up I'm happy with that so should any fan be that lives dies forest then its up to maranakis to see if he still wants him here ureddddssss.

05 Apr 2024 23:02:05
And he got us the 4 points everyone was asking for from the last 2 games so onwards and upwards ?.

05 Apr 2024 23:06:30
You don’t have to justify your comments RedFrog and you are entitled to your opinion. If you don’t like it call it out. You can come across a bit doom and gloom sometimes if I’m honest but i agree with a lot of things you say. If Nuno was any flatter he’d fit into an envelope.

06 Apr 2024 07:14:37
Nobody fancies Nuno for manager of the month this month then.

06 Apr 2024 07:53:34
Just read my post again.
Should read 40 years?
I’ve spent a small fortune going around the country watching us. Loved every minute, though at times it seems we are a basket case- always shooting ourselves in the foot ?
Skegs the only managerial award Nuno can win “passionless doughnut” one bless him.

05 Apr 2024 16:31:00
Nuno's press conference, he said Bolys still out and Awoniyi is " Treating himself". What does that mean!.

05 Apr 2024 16:34:09
He's probably having a few weeks off chilling with a few cases of Stella ?.

05 Apr 2024 17:20:06
Nice one "Newbie! "
???.

05 Apr 2024 18:27:15
It’ll be bikini weather soon Stella. Are you bikini ready? I don’t know why but the scary spice in a bikini bo selecta sketch has sprung to mind!

05 Apr 2024 19:28:14
Oops the EGO'S back.

05 Apr 2024 20:16:03
Very funny mate lol.

05 Apr 2024 20:16:27
"Shamoaaah! "

05 Apr 2024 20:25:37
Was expecting my new 20 quid Forest shirt today. checked the Tracker.
"Still with sender".
Nearly as slow as Joe Worrall!
???.

06 Apr 2024 07:31:13
It was only a tenner on Dh Gate at the start of the season, Rogie.

06 Apr 2024 09:29:19
I actually got the third shirt of that site. its OK;though the badge seems a bit off.

05 Apr 2024 11:36:40
Read an amazing fact in the Athletic, for over 82 years Nottingham Forest have had a player from the academy or home grown in Nottingham, in the first team squad, at the moment that responsibility is with Ryan Yates. Quite an achievement!.

05 Apr 2024 13:40:52
Yes I saw that too Barron. Apparently it covers 1048 matches going back to October 1941! Incredible stat!

05 Apr 2024 19:18:06
I remember the early sixties when we chucked about six in, all teenagers, they all made the grade.
In those days football was a little slower but some real tough guys around, it was just as a big a test as it is today without the huge rewards.
CARLO.

05 Apr 2024 07:55:22
I'm tempting fate here but isn't it refreshing to have a run of games not decided against us by VAR and/ or duff reffing calamities? Michael Oliver had a brilliant game against Fulham, let it flow and made sensible decisions
You can always tell the refs had a good game when you don't notice him.
( we also had a VAR go for us against Luton with their handball goal)
Is the tide turning?

05 Apr 2024 10:15:34
Need all the luck we can get also performances like we did against Fulham then the rest doesn't matter great game to watch and still putting the highlights of that first half on neighbours must of thought I was going mad that night shouting and screaming and a bit of swearing ?.

05 Apr 2024 10:45:52
Welcome aboard Stellaskegs! I hope you are nothing like that other Skeggy lad Jay from Leicestershire who used to travel around on the Barton busses. He was a right goon and sounded like he’d had too many spins on the waltzers. ?.

05 Apr 2024 10:55:49
??? would of loved to have met him read many of his comments in the past he was always right and his well known for his emojis that everyone loves so much ??.

05 Apr 2024 11:01:27
Nobody could be as much of a plonker as that bloke eh Perko.
Let's give this NEW bloke a chance. I mean, he's given himself a really original name. No one would think it's the same bloke would they.
It's been great on here recently, let's hope it continues.

05 Apr 2024 11:32:36
Welcome StellaSkegs, I'd have a pint with you. ?.

05 Apr 2024 13:13:05
Cheers Scousered ?.

05 Apr 2024 14:26:53
Jay?.

05 Apr 2024 14:30:39
Named after the world famous "wife beater". What could go wrong? ?.

05 Apr 2024 23:08:21
Cyclist ?.

05 Apr 2024 23:08:37
Cyclist ?.

05 Apr 2024 02:15:29
What an amazing game the other night. Saw some serious cohesion through the team. When the blades get relegated, I love the look of that Brereton Diaz. Real heart, passion and class. Listening to the Chris wilder interview, god the guy is an absolute moron. Has the personality of a postage stamp. Like listening to uninspiring drivel.

05 Apr 2024 08:39:12
Yes Syd mate, you don’t get many Chile internationals born in Stoke on Trent! Good player definitely.

05 Apr 2024 14:09:27
I can't understand wht we didn't go back in for him Stokey. Just what we needed at the time.

05 Apr 2024 14:59:28
Agree Gazzi mate. Certainly proven at Championship level. Had all the attributes, work rate, physicality, scores goals, good poacher and good football brain.
Guess ( until recently) never had the chance at top level. Remains another “ what might have been”.

04 Apr 2024 18:26:21
Can’t see us getting anything from Spurs game but as long as we have a go I will be happy. Don’t want to slip back into that team of Crystal Palace first half. Got to try to press on and play a little football.
The set piece fiasco needs addressing pronto.

04 Apr 2024 21:30:47
Ffs froggy, i know I'd said I've left, but as you know we've all done it. going to always pop my head in and read posts. Try a f kn red shirt on young man. No wonder the WFCG is on a downer. Get you head outta ya arse and believe. And rogie the diamond, murrilo isn't about pace sir. Noticed you got to few thumbs up there. ? what he does is read the simple things. The game, and he's probably been professional and looked up on players runs, what foot they play on etc. Something our coaches should be drilling. Anyway bye for now. Btw froggy nothing personal, just f kn chill mate. We need confidence not negativity. Bfn COYR.

04 Apr 2024 21:41:54
Good to hear from you mate!

04 Apr 2024 22:45:37
Ya know i luv ya diamond, froggy what I'm trying to say sir is this,
My old day's gambling, i know and my good friend stevie f will agree, you moan your horse from the first furlong, you got to remember, there's plenty more fences to approach, each of them different in a chase. each one higher as the race goes on. Now it's no good throwing beer cans at the jockey, when he's whipping it best he can. Words of wisdom. Were never going to have an overweight trainer like clough, were never going to have a lightweight taylor leading them into the paddock. There never going to have the sounds of the WFCG as before cheering them into 1st pkace. But most of ya will still have your pride into believing in the horse and your investment. Wherever it may run. Proud as f ck into all of ya. But especially the away fans. COYR.

04 Apr 2024 22:47:02
Hello boys today agree Bowie redfrog chill enjoy the win and save the negatives for when we lose best first half of football I've seen in years the whole team was unbelievable.

04 Apr 2024 23:12:54
Bowie the last horse you backed is being payed 2 pound to be ridden on in skeggy beach ??.

04 Apr 2024 23:28:24
It's like nicotine, hard to quit ???.

05 Apr 2024 00:20:30
Nice to have a newbie, welcome stella??.

05 Apr 2024 05:25:56
Yes, welcome "Stella" mate. before you know it, it will be like you've known everyone on here for years. ???.

05 Apr 2024 07:46:44
Welcome back Bowie and the new lad Stella!
Don’t know if I ve ever shared my horse racing experience on here.
Well, the day of the races I kept seeing the number 7. So, for example, there’s a taxi firm round here called “Lucky 7” and I kept seeing their cars. What’s more, they all had 7s in the number plate. I looked up and saw 7 clouds in the sky then a flock of 7 jackdaws flew past. There were 7 butterflies in my garden.
So I thought, right it’s a sign. Do I went to the bookies and put £50 quid on horse number 7.
It came 7th …………?????.

05 Apr 2024 07:47:58
Hi rogie Stella is not because I drink it I'm tea total ? and I've been reading the site for years all seem a lovely bunch of lads thought I would like to join in with the conversations so take it easy on this newbie and thanks mv ??.

05 Apr 2024 08:29:52
The boys are back in Town, or should that be Toon!
CARLO.

05 Apr 2024 10:18:02
Welcome to the Site Stella, I think some gender diversity would be great on here, it’ll mix things up a bit and help encourage varying points of view.

05 Apr 2024 10:41:26
?? 2star.

04 Apr 2024 16:43:38
You read it here first Tottenham 1 Forest 2

I honestly believe that we will beat them on Sunday

If we play as we did in the first half against Fulham I see nothing to be frightened of at Spurs

Spurs as Stevie says play a high line and Callum and Elanga can get in behind them.

04 Apr 2024 17:07:48
And Murillo has the pace to deal with any breaks.

04 Apr 2024 18:11:47
Murillo, Johnson, Son.
Some race that!
