Nottingham Forest banter 10

05 Jan 2026 16:48:22
lets hope we put out a side that will attack from the start and not one that parks the bus and only changes when we go a goal down, forget the politics, does anyone want to watch us play a game where we end up with zero shots on target and at best 25% of the ball? if we win tomorrow it will be a great booster.

05 Jan 2026 15:45:30
At last edu for the sack about bloody time. but better late than never destroying this club. started with him getting rid of nuno and then bringing shite in. uredddsssss uredddsssss uredddsssss.

05 Jan 2026 16:48:45
Dyche to be sacked to come on xmas come again.

05 Jan 2026 16:55:15
Dyche going too just been rumoured. I knew they would get sacked when dtp said they were safe. The master of predictions. 🤣🤣
Who we getting next, Peter Reid, Steve Bruce or Alan Curbishly 🤣🤣.

05 Jan 2026 17:35:50
Strachan, Benitez, Allardyce. Holy Trinity of the Unsackable.

05 Jan 2026 17:50:58
"Waldorf and Statler" on form tonight!
🤣🤣🤣🤣.

05 Jan 2026 17:51:21
I’m glad the plight of our great club causes you such great amusement and entertainment Larry Balloons ………. 👍👍.

05 Jan 2026 18:21:05
Well according to reports nuno has to win tomorrow or he will be sacked.

05 Jan 2026 18:27:41
It's just facts Stokie why and pretend alls well when it's a shambles. You happy clap and I'll observe the facts and have a opion till it's sorted. I can see you now.
I'm sorry sarg I didn't mean to hit him.
That's fine son.
Just remember what Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. "

05 Jan 2026 18:42:26
I disagree with that assessment. Larry seems to be enjoying the fact that Edu has been revealed and is now likely to be removed from his position.
COYR!

05 Jan 2026 18:47:12
No substance to it though skeggs and balloons.

05 Jan 2026 19:30:19
Actually DTP check rumours, i broke the news earlier. Reports coming from within all of Mr Ms teams. 🌳.

05 Jan 2026 19:31:11
And all this on the day we get planning permission for the Peter taylor stand and submit plans for the 50k stadium?
😁😂
Edu thing is lazy journos putting two and two together and making six
Syrianos got promoted within the club a while back and a few on here don't like him, don't think many understand edus role tbh.

05 Jan 2026 19:37:37
We will see dtp 😁 and when edu gets the sack. that will be you disappearing again for a bit because you will be proved wrong again. bloody xmas all over again. edu out dyche out and dtp out all in a week 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

05 Jan 2026 19:49:55
Stokey dyche might get his man
Lorrenzo luccu 6foot seven inch, the Italian Peter crouch 😂😂.

05 Jan 2026 20:11:15
Winter I've read it
No substance.

05 Jan 2026 20:13:58
Edu will be relinquishing his duties very soon.

05 Jan 2026 20:29:18
It comes from the same source that tells us we after this player and that player?
Very rare they are right, percy and Romano. are the only ones I listen to as they usually get it right.

05 Jan 2026 20:40:10
Read percy just now
All he's saying is edu might be undr scrutiny
Not one of his best articles tbh.

05 Jan 2026 20:43:35
Percy put it on dtp read it and weep. so if there the only ones you listen to there's a substance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅 you only read what you want to. edus going cause he's shite and made a massive mistake with nuno and recruitment.

05 Jan 2026 21:29:08
But remember Skegs, DTP knows better than all the journalists, all of us on here, the bookies and Mr M (at least his addled panda popped personality if he has one thinks so) 🐼🌳.

05 Jan 2026 22:16:49
Love your insults winter keep em up cus that's all you've got in your locker 😂😂😂.

06 Jan 2026 00:10:06
Actually DTP its your blame shifting and deflection tactics. Love how you put people down and dismiss others opinions and when you get called out its the same come back each and every time. Mr emoji 💤🌳.

06 Jan 2026 13:27:17
Larry B, according to Viz magazine, when you say “fact” or “end of” on social media it means you won the argument by law……😂😂😂😂😂😂.

05 Jan 2026 13:45:57
West Ham have just completed the signing of a 2nd striker in a matter of days, not looking good for us at all, we get rid of one and no sign of anyone coming in, worrying times.

05 Jan 2026 14:21:21
Yes they have 25 million for a striker who gil Vicente paid 250k for in the summer and an Argentine who's best scoring was in the MLS
Let's see how they adapt to premier league? as we've seen with Kaliamundo and bakwa doesn't always work
Just saying.

05 Jan 2026 14:44:27
Given the circumstances, it is not surprising that West Ham is seeking a solution. Additionally, it is reported that Edu is in Marinakis' sight. A plaque awaits his head, and a horse's head is being sought.

05 Jan 2026 15:43:03
If their recruitment department is anything like ours Daz, there's nothing to worry about mate.

05 Jan 2026 16:34:12
Yes I expect Nuno to sort things out for Wet Sham and move them up the table. Sadly I have t got the same confidence in Sean Dyche, let’s see how tomorrow pans out. I’m not going down there - if the players can’t put in a shift then neither can I
Hurts to say that. Perhaps Munmad will travel, I for one am not.

05 Jan 2026 18:04:08
You never have any confidence tbh red frog
Suprised lego hasn't said something🤔
Nuno hasn't took west ham anywhere and their fans hate him and his football
Just saying.

05 Jan 2026 19:45:09
I'm a natural optimist in life but I guess that I understand that there are those out there, Forest supporters or not, who prefer the 'glass half empty than half full' mentality in their lives. Fair enough to you, but it's not for me.

05 Jan 2026 20:45:47
Lego I am always optimistic
All I've said is we can't set up. like we dud against villa or it won't end well
That's not defeatist or glass half full, it's just how I see it and many others.

05 Jan 2026 11:14:30
If we can't beat West Ham then we deserve to be in the relegation places.

05 Jan 2026 11:52:30
bsered there could be an unenviable record set tomorrow night if the result is a draw which is no good to either team. The record would be if as a result of this both managers were sacked ( a present Forest manager and an ex Forest manager, It would be a first anywhere in the world)

05 Jan 2026 12:10:31
Here's hoping humorist.

05 Jan 2026 16:23:55
Battle of the oh so astute tacticians! They both fancy themselves as having that bit extra in reserve and will not be looking forward to the match up. Straight cerebral tussle between the two? Know who my money's on! Shhh. Tell you afterwards.

05 Jan 2026 10:07:18
And another one bites the dust!

05 Jan 2026 11:13:52
Another coach who wanted to "Manage" the club. Big money and opinionated owners rule ko.

05 Jan 2026 11:14:37
The manager merry go round creaks into motion again Chelsea and Utd top six not good enough what a joke. Nuno, Ange for us gone who'd be a manager.

05 Jan 2026 11:28:43
One or two on here, they know best🤭🤭.

05 Jan 2026 12:05:39
I'm Sparticus sorry I'm a Manager 🤡.

05 Jan 2026 12:11:58
I would. I would only need a month's wages and to be stable for life.

05 Jan 2026 12:53:37
He was a appointed as a coach, just like nuno and maresca, they were all happy to sign three year contracts knowing that was their job.

The blame lies with those three fo publicly putting their clubs in turmoil and then getting a golden handshake.

Good riddance to all three and any club should be very wary if employing them again. I remember little scot who had too much to say and hasn't worked since.

05 Jan 2026 09:20:53
Morning Mr SD, Forest supporter here. A quick message about the game on Tuesday, bit special, very important to all Reds fans. Many will be in the stand singing their hearts out in freezing cold, trying to lift the team spirit. Many more will be at home watching on TV, or listening to the radio.

We know we have some great players, we just want to see them give 100% as a team. So when the right team players walk out, with the right game plan, please ask the players to look at the supporters and kiss the badge on their shirts in acknowledgement of that incredible support.
Thank you SD.

05 Jan 2026 12:13:21
He'll kiss his wage slip. Robbery with violence 🤣.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool v Leeds United - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

05 Jan 2026 09:40:54
Great read Ed001! Plus spot on with regard to fans being the life blood of football. Coaches today have lost the plot, with the side to side, side to back football. I watched Man City v Chelski yesterday, omg, what is with the playing out from the back.

Goalkeeper suicide, defenders who can't pass a football, and no intent on going forwards.
If fans stop going to watch games, if fans stop paying Sky, there will be no football to watch. Stop the negative tactics, play football and entertain the fans please!

{Ed001's Note - thank you Tedtree, and I agree fully, the fans are being shafted.}

05 Jan 2026 12:16:53
I had to turn Man City off after 15 mins Redtree. Sideways backwards. Unwatchable.
Oh for the Newcastle Keegan side v Liverpool games. Just a beautiful watch every game.

05 Jan 2026 14:48:11
To be fair if sides as small as Bournemouth can play exciting forward thinking football why can't the rest? Even Leeds are looking decent on the eye. That goal for DCL that won goal of the month was a class team effort. Only one of the so called top teams play exciting football imo and that's Arsenal and that's mainly due to the world class wide players they have.

As for City, tippy tappy sh@te, imagine that group of players playing front foot high press and intensity a la Klopps style. Would be unbeatable. 🌳.

05 Jan 2026 16:29:02
Good post Ed and an interesting read. I hadn’t really heard much about Slot unlike Klopp began to recommend him as his successor, so I guess praise doesn’t get any better than that. Do Slots previous teams play the same way? If his tactics might be a loss of nerve?

{Ed001's Note - his tactics were different, he used in essence 4 centre-backs at the back, the wide ones would invert. He looked to get down the sides and cut the ball back.}

05 Jan 2026 17:53:13
Ed, I wonder why Slot has changed what’s worked for him in the past?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know and I don't understand it. But he has also moved away from using youth players, now he barely uses them. Seems like the pressure has got to him.}

05 Jan 2026 07:56:25
Mcatee on loan to Wolves good for him game time good for us also their Scandinavian CF to us good for him good for us hopefully I wouldn't be against that 🤡🤡.

05 Jan 2026 06:18:50
The football Gods have certainly thrower up a dramatic encounter on Tuesday!, even supporters who have no skin in the game find it intriguing,. The old coach, who still has respect amongst the players, trying to set his new team up to out fox en, the new coach knowing a win could make him the new sheriff in town, it's like a good old Spaghetti Western with Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallace squaring up, you can almost hear Ennico.

04 Jan 2026 22:53:06
This season Mr M has managed to bring in Edu, caused our most successful manager for over 20 years to become disaffected and sacked him after 23 days.
Then he brought in the hapless Postacoglau who, with no wins and sacked him after 39 days.
Now, Sean Dyche has been in charge for 74 days ( with much better results overall and some on here are calling for his removal…….
As Shakespeare wrote
“ When we are born, we cry that we are come
To this great stage of fools…. ”
If our owner had any sense, he should issue the following statement……
“ In view of my enormous errors of judgement in the appointment and recruitment of staff, advisors and players, I hereby announce that SD will remain as manager to the full term of his contract, even in the highly unlikely event of relegation. In the short term he will have the final say in incomings and outgoings and we will support him in his preferred options.
In the meantime I will continue to concentrate on expanding the capacity of the WFCG.
“Some good I mean to do in despite of my nature “

Ok, it’s more like ……
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on
And our little life is rounded with a sleep”
“Oh brave New World
That has such people in it”
But as besotted ( and powerless ) fans we can all dream can’t we?
Supporting Forest is both a blessing and a curse atm.

04 Jan 2026 23:06:31
It's noticeable that our illustrious Manager who did so well for us (apart from the last dozen or so games apparently) is not going down well at West Ham. From what I read in some serious papers, his actions are seeing their squad fall apart.


Yes Postaflogu was not up to much but Nuno at Wolves, Forest and West Ham is perhaps not the Saint that some on here would lead us to believe.

04 Jan 2026 23:07:05
Brave new world playing football straight from the Cretaceous period. 🌳.

05 Jan 2026 02:58:47
Here goes Stokie with another "hey look at me I'm so intelligent " I'll quote Shakespeare, that'll fox em while I justify hanging onto Dyche because I made a fool if myself welcoming him and his lump and run squad to the club. This site is frequented by people who have watched football for 60 yrs plus in many cases and are quite capable of recognising perpetual failure and mediocrity which Dyche excels at.

Have your opion on Dyche by all means and watch him fail again but don't insult us with you self promoting alleged intelligence please.

05 Jan 2026 06:03:51
Highly unlikely event of relegation.
Famous last words Stokey?
It's looking more like the latter unfortunately.
A win against West Ham is a must, as we all know a win is needed, but a loss will bring Dyche into the realm of the Big Greek's wrath and unforgivable temper.
You're right about the poor signing and questionable character judgments regarding Edu and Nuno.


I have a question for all of you: Marinakis hasn't yet felt the consequences of relegation. If this were to happen, how do you think he would react? Would he abandon us and throw his toys out of the pram, or would he finally admit the mistakes?

05 Jan 2026 09:13:42
He won't abandon ship, it will set his ambitions back a bit though imo
To me we need 36 points, so the games we must get points from is
West ham a
Wolves h
Burnley h
Fulham h
Palace h
Bournemouth h
And anything else a bonus
That should be achievable and very disappointing if it's not.

05 Jan 2026 10:29:01
Well, seeing as you raise the point Larry Balloons, I would never arrogantly self promote my “alleged intelligence”. I just use Shakespeare and other authors because they express universal truths and wise perceptions about life and human nature. After all, I’d define art as describing what it is to be human. That includes all human activities including sport. As Albert Camus said “Football is life”. He would know he played for Algeria as a goalkeeper.
A pure statement of fact here, done in all humility, but I do have 15 O levels ( 12 GCEs and 3 CSE grade 1s) 4 A levels and an Honours degree in English Literature.

That makes me no better or worse than anyone else on here but affects how I put my opinions across.
I have followed Forest for only 50 years and led a sheltered bookish life with my Dad from Radford and my Mum from the Meadows, I was brought up in Radford, Bestwood ( estate not the village) and Bulwell and did 30 years of front line policing in the peaceful and crime free hamlet of Nottingham.
I generally think it’s best not to make assumptions about people ….

05 Jan 2026 11:27:22
“Famous last words” Ripley? We ll see mate. Time will tell. ……but I will say SD has a great, virtually unsurpassed record in situations where the odds are against him. In Forests case by a generous but meddling owner who has caused the club untold problems and made us a laughing stock.

05 Jan 2026 11:44:08
I nearly got to the end of you post stokie but unfortunately slipped into a coma halfway through 🤣.

05 Jan 2026 12:25:54
Not many clubs go through 3 coaches in a season but we could get through 5 at this rate as the owner (s) don't seem to know what they are doing.

05 Jan 2026 12:45:16
A coma? How could anyone tell my dear old thing? 😂😂😂.

05 Jan 2026 13:00:19
Only time will tell how Dyche will handle this situation. Regarding his past record on similar matters, it's important to note that the upcoming match against West Ham is crucial and requires a victory.

Along with him, the players he chooses need to step up and demonstrate their true grit.

04 Jan 2026 22:16:01
MASSIVE game against Westham, 3 goals in 7 mins at The City Ground to beat us the last time I just can’t see where the goals are going to come from to beat this lot, really hope we take 3 points but our recent form says otherwise.

04 Jan 2026 21:41:52
What was the least number of completed passes in the first ten minutes of a Premier League match in history? Who was it?

05 Jan 2026 07:34:44
5 by Arsenal.

05 Jan 2026 12:46:04
Come on Cyclist, enlighten us mate? 🤔.
