Nikhate to Olympic Lyon.
1.) 28 Jun 2024 14:25:34
Really, Where did you hear that? ??.
2.) 28 Jun 2024 16:02:34
Waiting and hoping it will be confirmed. Would make any sale of Murillo on our terms.
3.) 28 Jun 2024 16:48:32
We might not need to sell Murillo. Selling Niakhate and a few others could help us get over the PSR threshold and we won't have to sell him, MGW or CHO.
4.) 28 Jun 2024 22:08:50
That would be the ideal scenario. Fingers crossed.
5.) 30 Jun 2024 11:46:51
Niakhate is a done deal.
07 Jun 2024 20:56:47
Apparently, Forest have won the race to sign Corinthians goalkeeper Carlos Miguel with a 5-year contract agreed. Thoughts?
1.) 08 Jun 2024 02:54:05
It wouldn't be transfer window without Forest buying one or two goalkeepers ?.
2.) 24 Jun 2024 14:42:16
What thoughts can anyone have chim, nobody's ever heard of him ?.
14 May 2024 11:45:50
Sounds like Mr M is gearing up to actually leave the WFCG, from all the stories doing the rounds this morning.
1.) 14 May 2024 15:47:01
We'll have to see what happens, Chimaera. Hopefully we stay at the WFCG. It's our home and it's full of our proud history.
30 Apr 2024 17:04:13
Murmurings doing the rounds that we will be given 2 points back from our appeal.
1.) 30 Apr 2024 19:38:26
I’d take that Chim. I did forecast 2 points back in my remainder of the season forecast before last weekend …. ??.
2.) 01 May 2024 18:46:25
I'll believe it when I see it, Chimaera. I hope you're right, though.
19 Nov 2022 13:27:05
Apparently we are being touted as going in for Zaha in Jan. I have always like Zaha, very talented in my opinion (apart from the last peno he took lol) . Thoughts?
1.) 19 Nov 2022 18:36:01
Who would you have him replace in the squad? We already have to add Scarpa to the squad - presumably in place of Biancone.
There is a lot of talk of transfer activity. I haven't worked out who is leaving at this point. If we are bringing in a striker, then who leaves the squad?
2.) 19 Nov 2022 19:36:35
Thanks but no thanks , a mini Ronaldo !
CARLO
3.) 19 Nov 2022 20:04:44
Would love it but would be suprised lol, could fit in top 6 side for sure.
4.) 20 Nov 2022 10:20:12
Redcyclist: Dennis, he's been a crock of wotsit since he cost us £20m. If he's a £20m player then I'm a Taylor Swift (and I'm not, in case you were wondering lol) .
5.) 21 Nov 2022 14:52:29
We should have thrown money at Rashford IMO. I reckon we might have been in with a chance before the season started.
6.) 30 Nov 2022 19:08:26
Good call that cyclist mate ?
7.) 01 Dec 2022 10:55:59
We missed the Rashford boat by the look of it. A goal every 40 mins and joint top scorer at the world cup. Oops.
I reckon we'd have got him for £50M (the price of Dennis + Awoniyi) .

Watched the game on the box. First off, great game. Murillo is an absolute beast, and Sels is close behind him. The good, from my point of view:
Sels played a blinder and kept us in it.
Murillo throughly deserved MOM.
Defence as a whole were solid again.
Williams has come on leaps and bounds this season and out in another blinder.
We had the league leaders rattled all the way into the start of the second half.
The bad, again from my point of view:
MGW was quiet, and only showed glimpses of what he can do (just when we needed him, he was a bit hit and miss today).
I think CHO was the same, hit and miss.
We switched off for their corner and subsequent goal. Although I do think that Sels was being obstructed on his goal line.
Some of our passes were off, but nowhere near the first half from Liverpool; they were all over the place.
And I cannot believe how much we backed off and let Liverpool come on to us for the last 25 minutes. That was a dangerous game to play with such opposition.
I feel a tad disappointed - probs shouldn't - but I feel if we had defended that corner like we have all season we would have won that.
Onwards and upwards, fellow Reds!
1.) 14 Jan 2025 22:42:15
Tad disappointed how can any forest fan be disappointed after that game ? after the last 20 years of rubbish have a word with yourselfs ??.
2.) 14 Jan 2025 23:00:45
Just drawn at home to best team in Europe and your nit picking. Great performance from everyone out there.
3.) 14 Jan 2025 23:05:50
Exactly redstripe unbelievable some fans.
4.) 14 Jan 2025 23:13:28
Might just be liverpool restricted our play, not just us sitting back.
5.) 14 Jan 2025 23:28:38
The effort and commitment tonight was incredible. Players were absolutely shot after 75 mins.
We are so hard to beat at the moment and boy we needed to be as Liverpool threw everything at us second half.
6.) 14 Jan 2025 23:42:08
Yep, got a result against the best team in Europe while chelski and Abu Dhabi city dropped points, champions league here we come?.
7.) 14 Jan 2025 23:51:07
And the sheep lost, gets better and better ???.
8.) 15 Jan 2025 08:49:33
All right you lot, let’s get one thing clear; I call it as I see it, like any of you lot. No need to go on about goving my head a bloody wobble or having a work with my myself…pathetic comments. We should have wind…simple. Turned off for the corner and let someone who had not touched the ball score? Seriously? Give me a break. Funny how 5 others (thumbs up) agreed.
9.) 15 Jan 2025 09:20:04
Who's got wind ??.
06 Jan 2025 22:27:10
First things first, it's great to see the team spirit that is in this squad, celebrating at the end with Awoniyi like he'd scored the FA Cup final goal.
MGW is the integral cog for sure in this team, but there are so many other who are playing for the badge and the fans. Matz Sels is playing out of this world at the moment. Our defence is like an iron curtain, and I cannot remember the last time I felt concerned about the opposition getting into our final 3rd.
Anderson, not his best game, but he put in a shift. Williams and Aina were solid. Elanga was solid. CHO was close to his best. I still think he needs to take his man on more.
Anyway, what a great time to be a Forest fan! Enjoy. and bring on the Scousers.
1.) 06 Jan 2025 23:03:50
Awonwi chim. Bless him. But just before my legs said, f ck off. I was there with my good friend jolly at the WFCG, sitting right next to gooners watching Awonwi score the ultimate. Just brilliant. I'm happy for the laddie. Can only give him strength, can't be easy sitting 2nd best to anyone on that team, clough/ taylor be with them all.
2.) 07 Jan 2025 00:30:39
Superb performance tonight. Very happy for Awoniyi. 9 clean sheets for Matt Sels and getting the recognition he deserves. 40 points, Wow!
29 Dec 2024 18:46:22
Well the journey continues.
First things first, Morato, what an absolute performance today in only his second start. My MOM for sure. Having said that he was almost pipped by MGW, playing another absolute blinder and a goal which was throughly deserved. Nice to see Woody back on the score sheet, and for a big lad he's got quite a sublime touch; great lob.
How Pickford is England's number one is beyond me sometimes. He's such a liability for his league club. but he did pull off two decent saves (albeit we could have finished those chances better). Another doff of the cap for Williams, coming back to his confident self once again. Can be a bit easy to dislodge when he's got the ball, but he was classy today. Hopefully Murillo's injury is not too serious. Sosa did well, and I am sure we will see a lot more from him once he's settled into the pace of the premier league.
Everton look like an awful team and my money is on Dyche getting the boot not too long into the NY. Nice to see Toff get a run out, perhaps a kind of 'shop window' moment for him with the transfer window coming up.
Anyway, have a safe new year fellow Red Dogs. See you in 2025!
1.) 29 Dec 2024 20:40:41
Not a lot to disagree with there Chim. I normally say onwards and upwards but we can't really get anymore upwards. Loving the ride, long may it continue.
2.) 29 Dec 2024 22:39:19
Chimaeara71. The team excudes confidence, long may it continue.
3.) 30 Dec 2024 07:39:37
We made them look awful at that mate.
Uuuuu Redddss!
4.) 30 Dec 2024 13:38:29
Excellent post as usual Chim. I think Everton will stick with Dyche until the end of the season season if he keeps them above water. The new owners would be foolish to ditch him at this stage, though perhaps when the seasons finished? I think, luckily for them, there are at least 3 worse teams than Everton.
27 Dec 2024 12:20:01
Another win under the belt. Finally the WFCG is looking more and more like the fortress we used to know. Initially I thought Elanga was having a mare in the first 10 minutes of the game, with some sloppy passes and runs. Came good though 15 minutes or so later.
What a ball from MGW, and again the initial tackle from Williams started it all, and against the Forest old boy Spence: priceless!
Murillo. How envious must the top premier teams be - in fact almost any top team in Europe, for that matter - that we have him in our defence. What a fantastic perception he has of the game at such a young age. Loved the block he did that smacked against his chest, and how he just stood there like nothing had happened lol. Milenkovic is a Beast from the East and another who I am sure is the envy of the premier. I know people have mentioned that young keeper from Liverpool, but at the moment Sels is an immovable object in goal for us. He is unrecognisable form the first two seasons and again pulled off a coupe of great saves. Spurs keeper reminds me so much of Calamity Turner lol.
Yates is still a head scratcher for me; he just cannot tackle anyone without putting his hands all over them and inevitably giving a foul away. it's the only part of his gameplay o don't like, as it came be a liability. Having said that he is so good at winning free kicks himself!
Anyway, a nice post-Chrimble present for us all. Hope you all had a nice Christmas. onwards to Everton!
1.) 27 Dec 2024 16:27:10
Brilliant post as usual Chim mate! Can’t disagree with any of that. It was a great game of football on a dark December day when the mist really did roll in from the Trent. ….
I was staggered it finished only one nil. I’d predicted 3 all before the game ( which I’d have taken) with their £200 plus attacking players and our pace on the counter against their exceptional high line ( and goalkeeper who’s a walking calamity when the balls at his feet. ) If Postacoglou had our back 5 instead of the one he actually has available Spurs would be up there with Liverpool.
Another tactical masterclass from Nuno. Happy with “rope a dope” out of possession then, bang, hit them fast and hard. They were a threat right to the end but so were we. I’m glad Madison didn’t start, he looked a class apart when he came on. I still have recurring nightmares of the Leicester game when he dismantled us ( likewise Sokanke against Bournemouth). But we are a vastly different team now.
Also Nuno repeatedly mentions the non starting squad from the bench and his subs were superb.
You can see from their workrate and commitment that they all want to play for him. It says a lot that virtually everyone on here has a different m nomination for Man of the Match. My own would be Sels, but I couldn’t see a weakness throughout the team.
As a postscript, a class act from a class club to have “Welcome back Kammy” on the big screen. Talking about big men, great to see Mr M in the tunnel congratulating the lads at the end ……
Coyr!
2.) 27 Dec 2024 16:36:40
Great appraisal mate.
3.) 27 Dec 2024 18:11:37
I love the term 'rope a dope' Stokey. I think that boxing analogy sums up our tactics perfectly.
4.) 27 Dec 2024 19:34:35
Good read Stokey. Embrace the squad. No bad eggs. In Nuno we trust.
22 Dec 2024 11:45:09
What a fantastic performance from all the team yesterday. It was as complete a performance as I have seen this season so far.
Morato - after his shinned clearance - really settled down and was as solid as the ever-dependable dynamic duo of Murillo and Milenkovic; if these two are not in the top three centre back pairings in the premier then I do not know what they need to do to get into it. Woody was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet again. Sels is playing out of his skin this season, and long may it continue. MGW looks to be getting is tricky mojo back, loved the pirouettes he did to completely bamboozle the opposition's players, at least three times. Wasn't impressed with Williams, but just as I'm beginning to doubt him up he pops with a peach of a cross (aided by Wood feigning to go for it). Aina is becoming more and more involved in each game he plays in and again looks to be getting his real confidence back. Elanga is lightning and it's good to see him once again using his pace; he's been a little reticent to burst down the flanks lately. Great finish, but even better was his cobra-fast strike to nick the ball in the first place.
Nuno totally got the tactics and game plan spot on today. I don't know what Thomas Frank was watching, but I think Brentford could have played all night and not beaten our defenders. Having said that, I would love to have Mbeumo (however to spell his darn name) in our team.
Shame that MGW and Dominguez will miss the next game.
1.) 22 Dec 2024 12:13:53
Good post Chim, Mbeubo should join a big club like us. Great player ?.
2.) 22 Dec 2024 14:30:16
There are a couple of their players who’d I’d have a bash at signing.
3.) 22 Dec 2024 15:17:09
Welcome back 2 Stars!
4.) 22 Dec 2024 18:04:58
Cheers pal, how’s you?
03 Jun 2024 07:23:23
Pretty much think we will be relegated without MGW assists if he is sold. Nobody else in the team will come near to that assist mark if he goes, and that means starting with more or less a 10-goal deficit.
19 Apr 2024 15:35:08
Need players like Murillo…get rid of the others first.
13 Mar 2024 18:34:38
Might know by Friday, but wouldn’t hold my breath lol.
18 Jan 2024 13:34:18
I’m in the other camp to be honest re Mangala. He’s OK but of late he’s been a bit hit and miss. People keep mentioning how good he is, but I just don’t see it.
Last night at Blackpool he was sloppy. Then again, for a period of 30 minutes, EVERYONE was sloppy lol.
24 Jan 2023 22:12:04
Would be an excellent signing.
15 Jan 2025 09:16:02
Thought exactly the same. Since when has that been permitted?
15 Jan 2025 08:49:33
All right you lot, let’s get one thing clear; I call it as I see it, like any of you lot. No need to go on about goving my head a bloody wobble or having a work with my myself…pathetic comments. We should have wind…simple. Turned off for the corner and let someone who had not touched the ball score? Seriously? Give me a break. Funny how 5 others (thumbs up) agreed.
15 Dec 2024 09:28:12
Best result today would be a Man Utd win.
08 Dec 2024 11:29:48
Cheers Bowie mate! Hope you’re doing well fella!
30 Nov 2024 19:46:29
Agree re the ref Bowie mate. one of the better ones.
