Just watched Leeds v the sheep. A few weeks ago Farke was supposed to be toast but with a bit of time look at them now!. just saying🤔.
11 Jan 2026 14:26:55
And a change in tactics.
11 Jan 2026 13:55:28
Have McAtee, Morato and Savona gone yet? To be followed by others.
10 Jan 2026 23:38:57
Fantastic programme on TNT tonight about the FA Cup back in the day.
Sunderland, Everton and many others.
The crowds? Amazing and the stories behind it all
Brilliant.
10 Jan 2026 22:10:08
Like dipping into haribos, all sugar coated. Sweet or sour. Only the big fella opens the packet. Cost him enough.
10 Jan 2026 23:24:33
Lucky he's got a pocket full of sherbert, hence his constant licking of fingers. 🌳.

11 Jan 2026 08:33:36
He was truly a one off mate.
11 Jan 2026 11:02:27

Thing is Bowie had become reclusive since 2003 heart attack. Just making the odd cameo appearance. It was an amazing experience buying his last 2 albums. He may have died 10 yrs ago, but as always his music and wisdom lives on. His spirit is alive as long as we are Bowie!
10 Jan 2026 22:00:37
Sangare back tomorrow available against Arsenal we have missed him
Sels
Aina
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Williams
Dominguez
Sangare
Anderson
MGW
Hudson Odoi
Jesus.
10 Jan 2026 22:41:43
Dyche won't play with one winger mate
Just saying.
10 Jan 2026 23:12:57
If he played with MGW off the right it would make sense.
Similar to how we set up agsinst Betis away. Only Murrilo in for Morato.
Our best performance of the season. In the 1st half by far.
11 Jan 2026 00:02:02
Dyche hasn't got the football brains to think like that 67
He's one dimensional.
11 Jan 2026 10:23:29
No so long back dtp you was pointing out hiw many points dyche had got from the games he had played saying how well he was doing compared to past managers with your statistics how quickly you change when it suits you 🤣🤣🤣.
11 Jan 2026 13:25:36
Wound you up 🤣🥂🥂.
11 Jan 2026 14:21:22
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm surprised you didn't do you fishing emojis wind me up. only in your wildest dreams dtp any excuse to getting out of being wrong all the time 🤣🤣.
10 Jan 2026 21:02:45
You can. Bleat all you like Dyche is the coach till Mr M decides otherwise and whether you agree with him or not is
Irrelevant what matters is going up the league. Of course we has fans can as armchair coaches put things back on course but from what I've read so far I think Dyche job is safe 🤡🤡👍🤔.
10 Jan 2026 21:02:01
Ivory Coast out of Afcon. Sangare back soon. And as for criticising players in public Dyche was right to say they didn’t put a shift in and play for the badge. Those who didn’t do as expected as many of you are quick to point out should leave.
Stop trying to create false problems just to get Dyche out.
10 Jan 2026 22:09:14
Bsered I doubt anyone at nffc takes any notice of what we say on here mate
They'd take one look at skeggs and balloons posts and realise what they've been doing wrong all their lives
Then asking where they can donate some funds to their imaginary pub 🤣🤣.
11 Jan 2026 10:21:19
🤣🤣🤣🤣 First it was Hutchinson was going to save us then it was luiz now we move onto sangare. Obviously he's a lot better player as edu had nothing to do with bringing him in. and dtp you really do have a thing with live chat is it because you feel a little bit left out diddums 🤣🤣🤣.
11 Jan 2026 13:27:03
Nah prefer adult company skeggs.
I watch games instead of playing on my phone.
11 Jan 2026 14:22:42
That's funny dtp as the last few times you've paid us a visit on there. and always love a good read up after as you say 😁.
10 Jan 2026 20:58:16
That's Ivory Coast out.
Sangare should be available for Arsenal. Can't say we haven't missed him.
10 Jan 2026 20:54:33
Sangare on hus way home.
11 Jan 2026 02:04:36
Do you think we should play him DTP?
11 Jan 2026 10:54:26
He'll play 100% on that one.
10 Jan 2026 18:10:49
Should a manager ridicule his players in public or keep it internal? Does doing it in public take the heat off himself? I can see a big divide in the squad happening, after SD comments. If there wasn't one already.
10 Jan 2026 18:49:42
Nice post bill 👍.
10 Jan 2026 18:58:37
Internally mate, rift will grow as it has just on here, there will be a few on the managers side, but mainly against. 🌳.
10 Jan 2026 19:02:29
Excellent point MV, certainly won't do much for team spirit.
10 Jan 2026 19:10:47
That's a really good question MV. Personally, I don't think any manager (in football or elsewhere) should berate their 'staff' in public. It's unprofessional and leads to discontent and divides in the workplace as you mention.
10 Jan 2026 19:24:39
This principle applies to owners as well. Publicly undermining someone is not a desirable trait.
10 Jan 2026 19:36:29
Perhaps when the third coach can’t do anything with the dross signings and also makes a scene th other two have Mr M might Jsut have to accept someone has squandered his money. The signings are dog 💩.
Wilson and co had got it together, the only 11 that performs is the 11 that contains none of the simmer Signings. Chuck a 💩 coach in there and watch it fall apart - oh soz it already has!
10 Jan 2026 19:56:20
Good post MV like i said mid game, wait for the Dyche it's never my fault post match interview. He the master of deflecting the blame. Nuno got the sack for simular.
10 Jan 2026 19:58:56
What team spirit dtp there's not been one since nuno left 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
10 Jan 2026 20:04:42
Only thing I'd say about the summer signings is that they can't have all turned into bad players overnight, remember when sangare arrived 3 year ago?
Took him till end of last season to show the form we paid a club record fee for
Yes I get the injury and illness thing, bit he looked poor prior to that and skeggs you said at the time that you'd watched him and he was crap and should not have signed him
Comments last night from dyche will mean he won't pick any of those players again?
That will be a problem with Europe
Just saying.
10 Jan 2026 20:09:34
Skeggs just for once be a grown up?
Dyche had a job to do that when he arrived?
Any chance has now gone?
10 Jan 2026 20:42:36
I don't think he was undermining anyone. I think he is only saying it as it is, we all agree that first half performance was dire. Obviously if he critiquing individuals then that is a different matter.
They are well paid PL footballers, if they can't take bit of a kick up the backside when things are going badly then they should pack up football and go and sell ice cream.
10 Jan 2026 20:49:33
Like I said dtp no team spirit at the minute the club is rotten to the core. and that's not all dyche is doing. its the muppet edu sooner Mr m realises he's the biggest problem in this club the better. talking of people having Mr ms pants down he's the biggest culprit.
10 Jan 2026 21:07:38
TBH before the Leeds game looking at the fixtures ahead, and the form we were in, I remember projecting that it may be the new year before we get out of the drop zone.
Obviously WHU and Burnley have helped us but in terms of staying up we are on track. that's the nain thing. We were 5/ 2 to ho down when Dyche was appoonted we are now 9/ 1.
Must admit that is a big price.
However those who are saying we are heading for relegation. Get down the bookies. Fill your boots.
9 to 1!
10 Jan 2026 21:54:31
Lego I have to come in at that, it did make smile about bollockings In public, you sure you were in the services, 🤣I had some mega dressing downs in front of everybody they loved nothing better 😊.
10 Jan 2026 21:56:03
Like I've said before 67
I think we will stay up, but that dyche will be replaced at the seasons end
I don't believe the club see any long term future under him
Problem is he has singled out those individual players when he subbed them?
So bakwa, mcatee and zinchenko won't be picked again?
Maybe rightly so, but he's done it in public and these players cost a lot of money, so I can see dyche being in big trouble should we lose heavily on Saturday imo
The two games that I can't forgive dyche for are Everton away and home, they are bang average at best and he should know their players inside out?
But we lost both conceding 5 goals without laying a glove on them, that's not acceptable.
10 Jan 2026 23:28:04
That’s what did for me as well. And Brighton at home as well. As you say - unacceptable.
10 Jan 2026 23:28:28
You're so right Stevie. The services excelled at bollockings in public, particularly on the parade square. I remember being called a 'spastic' on the square by one of the drill sergeants. He must have been a fortune teller.
10 Jan 2026 16:22:31
As I appear to be causing much irritation and offence on here I hereby apologise and promise to cease and desist. I’m confident that my predictions regarding SD will be proved right at the end of the season ( as I was right about SC). But, time will tell and I won’t confuse those whose minds are made up with any facts as to progress made.
My golden rule of banter is that if you can’t take it, you shouldn’t dish it out but so be it.
By the way, the dinosaurs were an extraordinarily successful life form, existing for around 200 million years ( in fact when you next see birds in your garden you can see their avian descendants are still around to this day). The large dinosaurs were only destroyed by the unavoidable impact of asteroid (s).
The supposedly more advanced species of Homo sapiens have been around for around 2 million years and will probably destroy themselves by either nuclear war or climate change….
Most us on here support Forest so let’s enjoy it while we can comrades.
10 Jan 2026 17:21:53
I think people forget where we were when Dyche arrived. In the relegation zone.
After the Ange disaster we needed someone to steady the ship and keep us up. If he does that. Mission acomplished. And we should applaud him.
He is what he is. Your not going to get champagne football (like Ange) but its all about results. If you look at our first or best team it is exactly the same as last year minus Elanga and Wood. So all that money spent and the only teo who have at times showed us something is Hutchinson and Luiz. You can't blame Dyche for that.
All that said whatever happens I doubt SD will see out his contract.
10 Jan 2026 17:23:08
Never apologise Stokey, for anything as you always say what is in your own mind and feel correct. I am 100% an SD supporter as I also was SC. There is no doubt we will end up mid to lower table. Our problem is the players that will then feel they have achieved all they can at the City Ground. Who would blame, Anderson, MGW and Murillo if they moved on.
Personally I believe McAtee was bought as a potential replacement for Anderson or MGW.
One aspect of Nunos time is he came in when a squad had gelled with SC. This has happened this season at Brentford. Next season there will be big changes and SD is needed to gel the squad together.
10 Jan 2026 17:40:06
Good and thoughtful posts, Nono and 67. I don’t apologise for my views only for any personal offence they may have caused.
Anyway, back to my armchair navigation with a glass of malt whiskey, woodburner on and heading for the coast of Chile and Peru on HMS Surprise in “ The 13 Gun Salute”!
I give you joy, shipmates! 🥃🥃.
10 Jan 2026 17:42:44
You obviously can't take it stokie or you would keep having a pop at individuals and their views, when they differ from yours. You say you will be proved right at the end of the season.
Well I say you won't. So let's see. Your pro SD, I'm anti SD. We don't need an History lesson to explain it just watch it unfold. One of us will be proven right.
10 Jan 2026 17:50:40
🤣🤣🤣🤣 nonodyche heard it all now.
10 Jan 2026 18:44:12
Stokey grow a pair for gods sake. Sticks and stones mate, would have thought that in your career you faced a lot worse than Ballons, Skegs, DTP and myself not agreeing with you. 🤣🌳.
10 Jan 2026 19:23:09
Please don't apologise. Varying opinions are what make this site interesting. While we may not agree with every post, it's valuable to hear different perspectives.
10 Jan 2026 19:24:12
Stokey - you're a dinosaur, just admit it. OK you may be intelligent, humorous, learned, well-measured, a staunch supporter and very good company to be with. However, you need to bow to others' opinions on here as they are always right. I would have thought that by now you would have realised that the likes of Larry and DTP are the font of all human wisdom - and, as such, never wrong.
Apart from Larry constantly misspelling your username (unless that is deliberate? ).
10 Jan 2026 19:30:19
Never change Stokey mate!
10 Jan 2026 19:59:04
He wasn't lever enough to make inspector lego 🤣🤣.
10 Jan 2026 20:11:40
You haven't made yourself look"CLEVER " there balloons 😁🤣.
10 Jan 2026 20:12:52
But he can spell the word 'clever' correctly Larry.
10 Jan 2026 20:29:11
Well, I did make Acting Inspector a period long enough to get a rollicking good Inspectors pension but I didn’t have enough “lever” to make it any higher mate! You missed off the “c “ as in C’nt my friend. 😂😂😉😉
Don’t worry about me comrades I’ll be sniping from behind the grassy knoll…. In Dychey we trust……. 👍👍.
10 Jan 2026 20:46:34
There's no "we" in dychey though.
10 Jan 2026 20:54:46
I'll be sniping at you from the grassy knoll if you keep using the word 'comrades' on here Stokey. You make it sound like a communist-loving, lefty-besty forum!
10 Jan 2026 22:12:39
Offensive? You’re definitely not offensive.
10 Jan 2026 22:23:23
Point taken Shipmate……. 😂😂.
10 Jan 2026 14:39:19
Macclesfield knocking out Palace is an example of the double edged sword of qualifying for Europe, the right or wrongs of the performance last night, it showed we rely on a group of players who can not keep performing game after game.
It's alright Sean Dyche calling out players, but it may be time for him Stone and Woan to think is it something we are doing wrong?.
10 Jan 2026 15:16:49
🤔 I'm sure a certain person got sacked by Mr m. for saying them very words. Only he knew thus was going to happen months ago. just shows you how many fans on here no nothing when it comes to what players are needed and what positions need filling when it comes to playing in Europe.
Maybe because it's been a long time. 🤔or maybe you don't know football. either way nuno was right most of you was wrong and now your not happy with the last 2 managers that took nunos place well tough you reap what you sow 😁 stop moaning most of you asked for it 🤣🤣🤣.
10 Jan 2026 15:25:04
We rely on a group of 11 players some of which are sub standard who cannot perform at all and not one decent substitute can brought on. Plus a manager who has no plan and an owner who's only plan needed is Jane Plan.
10 Jan 2026 16:01:22
Skegs I’ve always believed Nuno was right and became disaffected with the politics when Edu was appointed. I understand Edu even took it upon himself to turn up at the training ground to supervise what Nuno was doing there and report back to Mr M. If Mr M wasn’t such an interfering owner he should have nurtured the bond Nuno had with the players and the success he brought to the club last season by supporting him, not undermining him.
What’s all this reap what you sow nonsense. I haven’t reaped or sown anything.
I didn't want Nuno to go. I certainly had grave doubts about the appointment of Postacoglau, so I was proved right about that.
In the chaos created entirely by our owner, I thought ( and still think) Dyche was the ideal choice to bail us out and his overall results and progress so far have proved me right again.
In our situation results always take priority over style of play. It’s best to concentrate on keeping the Titanic afloat, we can arrange the deckchairs to look nice when we reach a safe harbour at the end of the season….
10 Jan 2026 17:32:37
Nuno this Nuno that, if he didn’t like what was happening why did he not do the decent thing and resign, no he decided to open his mouth not once but twice what did he expect, I have no time for him at all.
10 Jan 2026 18:06:02
Doing the decent thing would have cost him a full wallet.
10 Jan 2026 18:42:06
He was bought in to do a job and he did more than a job. with the team he had. then he got a gob full off big m in front of millions on tv for all to see. then he was undermined by the muppet edu who thinks he's a coach himself. nuno earnt every penny of that pay off.
did big ange earn his 🤣🤣🤣🤣 if anyone ripped Mr m off it was him and a lot of other managers in the past that were sacked so that's that excuse done with boys. Mr m and edu the muppet are the only ones to Blame for this shite season the shite players and the shite managers simples.
10 Jan 2026 19:04:19
Exactly as I see it and always have done 1956.
10 Jan 2026 19:34:59
Nuno signed the new contract after all that happened on the pitch and marinakis gave a statement about how it was for not getting to awoniyi quick enough when clearly badly injured
Nuno knew edu was starting in the summer aswell
Had our pants down mate.
10 Jan 2026 19:57:33
Dtp if that's the way you see it 🤣🤣 and it pissess you off then nuno is my hero all over again 🤣🤣. its football dtp everyone for themselves. there's no loyalty in football whatsoever. But the reason you like to believe it's that simple in your eyes is because you don't like nuno and never have plus he made you look a right numpty all season. With your predictions of him. i mean why were at it your bigging up mgw at the minute almost every comment.
But thus is a guy that got his agent to tell spurs of his buy out clause. So he could have Mr m over and be a judas and join spurs. only problem was Mr m wouldn't stand for it. since then he's been shite having Mr m pants down with a massive pay rise so what suits you dtp nuno proved you wrong week in week out all season and it will give you nightmares for the rest of your life we love nuno 🤣🤣🤣.
10 Jan 2026 20:48:56
Nice try skeggs
Back to your recliner in your padded cell.
