Nottingham Forest banter 10

09 Mar 2026 21:05:53
We are still, studded with dinosaurs, the approach, the defence playing out, the set pieces to the backroom staff. If most teams use puppets, we had the Muppets. I mean stoned and woan. What did they actually bring to the table? Gonzo, Kermit, Miss Piggy as a boss.

Actually same voice. You always hear players etc telling ya what they think. Cannot remember once hearing any good things. Ok, probably just me.

09 Mar 2026 20:35:08
Ok ok know you've all had enough of the Nuno situation. But as I put in for PIP hoping for a free bubble car to run the fields of a City Ground lawn. As my car will be upturned in turmoil. I can only look out in hope. But the last time I seen a good team running free and believing, with an unbelievable togetherness.

Massive towards a unit. Was really under that laddie. Now I'm not saying Reds to get the laddie back. All I ask for is, someone to please bring that harmony back. That belief. Not easy. But my what a mess of a season. Tbh I said the defence kept out head above water 1st 1/2 but this 2nd half the midfield has actually started fighting back. Successfully. Well still got my doubts. But any hope is hope. FTID.

09 Mar 2026 22:00:58
Nuno best since our Frank Clark. 👍

09 Mar 2026 22:27:43
Nuno the magician works his magic again tonight. Boy, do I miss actually winning games and looking forward to better things. Oh well, onwards and downwards, we reap what we sow.

09 Mar 2026 23:01:29
Yeah, great stuff. West Ham get extra time and an extra game, and Somerville gets a knock. Great night's work for Forest.

10 Mar 2026 05:21:28
West Ham keep that winning mentality, Stevie boy. It works miracles. Forest had one last season.

10 Mar 2026 06:42:02
Yes, they're on a colossal winning run, so much so that they're still in the relegation zone, below us. You keep telling us what a 'basket case' we are. They'll probably drop off at the business end of the season, just like we did last season under your boyfriend.

It stuns me that you think Nuno is doing a good job there. Look at where they are. They did the most Nuno thing ever last night and threw a lead away in their 2-2 'win'.

10 Mar 2026 08:59:34
Stevie, my old friend. Everyone thought West Ham were done and relegated a month ago. Now they're on the same points as us, and into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. It's a sign of a good manager when he puts the best team out for cup games, even when the Premier League should be the priority.

It gives the whole team a boost now. Anybody think West Ham won't go down?

10 Mar 2026 09:26:23
Oh, I get it, Skegs. After 29 games, being 3rd bottom, on the same points but with a worse goal difference than a team that's had 4 managers in a season and has been described as a "basket case" on here, is the sign of a good manager. I'm glad you've cleared that up for me.

10 Mar 2026 10:07:40
He's not just a good manager. He's been one of our best managers, the proof is in the pudding from last season. Well, except the odd few on here he proved wrong, who are still angry about that. 🙄

10 Mar 2026 11:00:50
Skegs, he's been found out, he was found out at the back end of last season, that's why West Ham are in the relegation zone, that's why we dropped from champions league places to conference.

one half decent season does not make nuno one of our best managers ever, and he tried to sabotage the start to our season, he tried to sabotage our European squad, he refused to even talk to our club record signing.

I hope he takes West Ham down, it will be his just desserts, you can continue to kiss his a*** if you like, but he stabbed this club in the back. I'm not going to talk anymore about him.

10 Mar 2026 11:30:51
I don't know why your so full of anger stevie.i mean coming out with boyfriend kiss ass etc.maybe you going through a bad time buddy i'm here if you want a chat.if I remember rightly stevie boy nuno got a bunch of no chancers to the conference league position pal not any forest fan would of put money on that and as for bottling I would near the end of the season not half way pal the squad players weren't good enough fact.anyway you have your opinion I have mine agree to disagree but my opinion is one of the best managers we've had and he deserved the pay off.because the owner wouldn't back him listened to edu instead look where that's got us no more to be said really

10 Mar 2026 16:25:30
Skegs, do you actually read back your own posts? You should see some of the things you say to other people. Don't forget, I'm not the one who's been banned and changed my name about 4 times. I've been called a clown, a dickhead, and a fat b****** on here, yet some get indignant and threaten not to post anymore because someone disagrees with them in a slightly sarcastic way.

Usual double standards by some, so I'm sure you'll get over me referring to Nuno as your boyfriend, because, as we all know, he isn't, is he? He's almost certainly got better taste than that.

10 Mar 2026 16:33:31
They are horrible people calling you a fat b******. If you need a hug, mate, I'm here for you. Anytime you're down, Sunny Skeg, pal, we will have a pint together and a bit of banter, my pal. 😁

10 Mar 2026 16:52:59
Skegs. 😂👍

10 Mar 2026 19:54:34
Stevie, remember last season when we got off to a flier and you said, see where we are in another 10 games?
I called you out and brought you out of exile, and fair play to you as you responded.
The fact you even said, let's see where we are, showed a contempt and lack of confidence in Nuno at the time, which back then was unfounded.
What I see now, not only from you but from a few others in the Nuno out brigade, is what can only be described as doubling down.


You know you were wrong, but you refuse, out of stubbornness, to admit it.
Hand on heart, now even the staunchest member of the Nuno out brigade cannot say they wish Marinakis had not swallowed his pride and given Nuno the signings he wanted and not sacked him?

10 Mar 2026 20:08:28
Fred, I was never in the Nuno out brigade, I was in the 'I'll believe when I see it' brigade, slightly different. Yes, he proved me wrong last season, but why does everyone seem to think he's doing a great job at West Ham? They're 3rd bottom, and he's been there 95% of the season.

10 Mar 2026 20:19:48
Yes, I agree with you on that. When he took the West Ham job, I think they were only a point behind us (courtesy of a 3-0 win at our place under Potter).
He has, in fact, then managed to take only one more point than the three managers we've got through. 🤣

09 Mar 2026 19:15:16
Hope wet sham put a strong FA Cup team out and suffer some injuries. We've been without our main striker nearly all season - about time Leeds and the hammers suffered the same.

09 Mar 2026 20:02:18
Good game so far frog, very watchable. 🌳

10 Mar 2026 04:48:30
It was a good game. Thought Brentford were unlucky. Wet Sham v Leeds next, let's hope that's another extra time marathon.

08 Mar 2026 16:21:19
This was on the post website but it did make me laugh!
Lucca apparently was flying back to Italy for a fitness assessment - someone replied and said he would probably miss the flight 😂.

08 Mar 2026 18:35:04
Was it a "fit for purpose" assessment by any chance, 2tone?

09 Mar 2026 18:54:15
Not much craic on here today, lads?

09 Mar 2026 19:29:17
Bloke at the end of my road sells that Rogie, want me to ask if he can deliver? 🤣🌳

09 Mar 2026 19:36:53
Does he do Guinness, mate?
🤣🤣🤣

09 Mar 2026 19:51:17
Judging by the characters that hang around his house, I doubt it. 🤣🌳

08 Mar 2026 07:39:14
{Ed's Note - Shappy has posted a new article entitled, United Need A Savvy Summer To Build Depth

07 Mar 2026 22:56:46
So let’s have a quick review.
Wrexham take Chelsea to extra time. Forest lost on penalties after extra time.
Forest draw with Wolves who beat Liverpool, drew with Arsenal, etc.
Drew with CP with 10 men.

I know, let’s sack the manger. Poor judgement.

08 Mar 2026 08:05:43
The Man City game may have saved Vitor for now, but he could be gone by the end of the month if we don't win a couple of games anywhere.

08 Mar 2026 09:21:30
I honestly think we will, mate. You could see that the team have been playing for him v City and Liverpool, particularly. Spurs look completely shot, and void of confidence. MGW and Anderson have stepped up, Murillo's back to his brilliant best, Williams continues to give his all too, not forgetting Sels. So yes, as Ian Dury said, Reasons to Be Cheerful!!!

08 Mar 2026 09:25:22
Did Chelsea lose? Or did they win? It looks like Chelsea are the name in the draw, not Wrexham. What point are you trying to make?

08 Mar 2026 10:57:29
As I've said before, the only predictable thing about our Supreme Leader is his unpredictability. Not a good basis for running anything, really.

08 Mar 2026 12:56:20
Jester, even Ange got 39 days FFS. 😂😂😂😂

08 Mar 2026 13:46:27
The only mistakes our owner has made are hiring Dyche and Postecoglou in the first place. Nuno forced his hand with constructive dismissal, conveniently signing his 3year contract first. Nuno needed to realise he was first team coach at Forest; he didn’t run the Marinakis Group. If the owner wanted to put a layer of management into his business, then that’s his prerogative.

Nuno should have got on with the job he was being well remunerated for, but Nuno never stops anywhere long; his career is littered with similar incidents. This is the best owner this club has ever had. All this "Supreme Leader" b******s. It’s not a meeting of the politburo, Stokey.

08 Mar 2026 14:44:30
Lol, Stevie, let's see where we are in 2 seasons, probably in League One by then, with relegation, FFP. Because the owner won't sit back and let people who know about football do their job. He should stick to managing his boats.

08 Mar 2026 14:50:14
I've always given praise to our owner where it's due, Stevie. His passion, ambition, and investment in the club cannot be faulted.
But have you perhaps glossed over the fact that when you make mistakes as the top man, then the buck stops with you.
Just to jog your memory....
Out of all the managers he's appointed at Forest, only two have been successful: Cooper and Nuno.
Points deduction?
Clattenburg?
Spitting at a ref?
Irate public announcements about refs, basically saying they are bent.

Very lucky we've not been sued for defamation.
Ditto, appointment of certain officials put in charge of our games.
Publicly coming onto the pitch to berate the manager.
Accosting refs in the tunnel.
Appointing Edu.
I could go on....
Forest were many fans' second club (particularly after the Clough era). Now we are perceived as a basket case and a bunch of whingers.

08 Mar 2026 16:20:29
Incidentally, Stevie, the title of Supreme Leader is Iranian and would be set above the Council of Guardians in that country.
The Politburo was the senior Council of the Russian Communist Party, whose members, including the leader, would address each other as "Comrade". Just saying.

08 Mar 2026 16:40:08
Maybe Mr M sees this season as breaking all the employment rules. 39 days is there to be beaten.

08 Mar 2026 17:29:04
It can't be denied that we are now quite disliked by the neutral. The neutral must be torn as to which scalp they'd like to see, Spurs (who are despised by the neutral) or ours.

I think Levy is the figure people have disliked, but it makes the entire club public enemy number 1...

08 Mar 2026 17:58:40
Mr. M is an evil necessity for Forest.
Yes, he funds the club without doubt, but with that you get a hot-headed, unpredictable owner who's mind changes depending on how he wakes up.

08 Mar 2026 18:17:06
Most clubs have glove puppets, it's just the choice of glove puppets he gets wrong. I think he's done well for us other than that. He can't run the club without glove puppets; he just needs to recruit the right folk.

I'd personally like a Freedman or Pearce-type character in that role. He just needs someone with good knowledge who could oversee a better approach to signing players.

08 Mar 2026 19:05:35
Stokey, of course you've never addressed us as comrades on here?

08 Mar 2026 19:02:31
Stokey I know what the politburo is, don't need a lecture about it, the supreme leader is also used in connection with the leader of North Korea, an insult,

08 Mar 2026 19:39:48
I love it when you two have a conversation. It's like a grown up version of Skeggs and DTP having a tiff.

08 Mar 2026 19:41:40
Any thoughts on who you get doing that back office role, Stevie? Seems he'll stick with his organisational structure, so who the hell can we get to succeed and make the club prosper within it? Tough one, isn't it?

08 Mar 2026 20:08:20
Stevie, ….. and away …... 🎣🎣🎣😂😂

08 Mar 2026 20:50:38
Stokey. 😊

08 Mar 2026 20:51:37
Gazzi. 😂

08 Mar 2026 21:11:56
I do love it when Stokey and Stevie set upon each other. They seem to be as stubborn as each other. However, for those into star signs - as a Scorpio, I am a black-belt ninja at stubbornness.

Amateurs.

08 Mar 2026 21:34:37
Lego Scorpio here too, mate. 😊

08 Mar 2026 22:27:54
Capricorn... Goat! 😂😂😂😂

08 Mar 2026 22:29:14
Oh great, now it's turning into a Dear Deidre site. And we're also talking about star signs. How sweet you boys are. 🤢 Come back, Dtp, all is forgiven. You can take the side of the girls' brigade up above. 🤣🤣

08 Mar 2026 22:56:43
Libra here, trying to balance both sides.......

08 Mar 2026 22:45:40
Skegs, says the bloke who boozed in an imaginary pub, drank imaginary ale, and constantly went on about coronation street and Gail tilsley on here, 🤣, if you're going to carry on talking c**p it pays to have a good memory, now I thought we'd agreed to ignore each other's posts,? Shall we start again from now??

08 Mar 2026 23:08:57
And I thought it was supposed to be about football. 🤣🤣 And, no surprise to anyone, Aries, the God of War. 😁

08 Mar 2026 23:16:57
Bloody sheep☝️🐑🤣, unfortunately Stokey your not the GOAT, you have to share it with me. 🐐🌳

08 Mar 2026 23:32:33
😂😂 God of War? I've little doubt in my mind that if a car backfired, you'd need a change of trousers. 🤣

09 Mar 2026 07:12:30
Only Football supporters and true Forest followers were allowed membership at the Live Lounge. Don't knock it, those who were allowed in. 🚪🚪🚪🤡🤡🤡🤡

09 Mar 2026 09:27:20
Jester, I wouldn't come into the live chat if I was paid. I've seen enough gibberish from skegs on here to last me a lifetime, and, obviously, not being a true follower of Forest like you lot. I'm usually at the match, and, as people that actually go to the City Ground know, it's almost impossible to get a phone signal in there.

09 Mar 2026 09:34:21
Probably a bit narrow-minded and a lack of imagination; not everyone can go to the matches for whatever reason. It's just fun. Sorry you cannot see that. 🤡

09 Mar 2026 09:59:10
Hi.
Cancer, and my name is Larry.
I like everybody and everything.
Much like our own Larry on here, and anyone who disagrees can just "Float On" as far as I'm concerned. 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

09 Mar 2026 10:02:40
Very polite Jester, i definitely wouldn't have been. Another Richard Head who thinks because he attends games weekly his opinion is better than ours. 🌳

09 Mar 2026 11:08:49
Some great star signs posts on here. 😂😂👍👍

09 Mar 2026 12:58:43
Stevie couldn't handle a laugh and a bit of banter on livechat. He'd be ripping his string vest off while turning green. Then spitting his dummy out, and he'd be off again with dtp. 🤣🤣

09 Mar 2026 16:18:48
Aries (March 21 - April 19) is the first fire sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Ram and ruled by Mars. Known for being energetic, impulsive, and courageous, Aries individuals are natural leaders, often initiating projects and embracing challenges with bold optimism. They are independent, direct, and highly competitive, though they can also be impatient.
Skegs, you old ram!

09 Mar 2026 16:50:43
Winter you need to point out where I said my opinion was more important, but you probably can't, because it's not what I said is it,? It was jester who suggested I wasn't a true follower of Forest, and wouldn't be allowed into live chat( like I give a s*** ) not the other way around, if you could be bothered to read the posts properly, which you obviously didn't.

you can be as impolite as you like, being called a dick head is a badge of honour coming from you, because it definitely takes one to know one,

09 Mar 2026 17:25:18
I'm Taurus, full of bull s***. 🫢

09 Mar 2026 17:52:03
Remarkably calm reply, Stevie, you must be summoning your inner Bruce Banner this afternoon. 🌳

09 Mar 2026 18:05:42
Winter, you listen to your pal Skegs, and take everything he says as gospel, unfortunately. I'm always calm and measured in my life, but if people want to call me names, it just shows me what kind of people they are, especially when they don't read posts properly and jump to conclusions.

If you want to perpetuate this Mr Angry image of me, go for it. I couldn't give a flying.

09 Mar 2026 18:53:18
Those of you who backed a Turkey and Dyche need to get over it. Dyche was an Edu appointment and Edu has been sacked now. What does that tell you?

It tells me the owner realised his mistake.

The new boss has the team doing well. We were unlucky at Liverpool. He's only had one bad game, we've looked good in the others.

09 Mar 2026 19:24:19
Taurus... Excellent Bowie. 😂😂😂😂👍👍

09 Mar 2026 19:26:38
Stevie, i think you are the one jumping to assumptions, did i once call you a d**kh**d? Did i once mention your name in relation to said name i supposedly called you in particular? Assumptions and accusations. 😘🌳

09 Mar 2026 19:32:25
Winter, I think we both know that's a load of b******s, mate.

09 Mar 2026 19:41:48
It goes way deeper than that, Cyclist.
The club has been a basket case from the minute Edu walked through the door.
He's been an absolute disaster, and thankfully Big M has seen the light and the error of his ways.
You asked a while back what Edu had actually done wrong.
You now have your answer, everything!

09 Mar 2026 19:50:23
Only word used in relation to anyone is "his"; it could be anyone here. You really should read the post properly. Assumptions and accusations. Just saying. 🤭... 🌳

09 Mar 2026 19:54:22
Opps and "he"... I really should read my posts. 🤣🌳

09 Mar 2026 20:27:34
Are you really a Scorpio, Stevie? That shocks me a lot from your posts!!
Brothers in Arms in many ways, mate.

09 Mar 2026 20:27:49
Fred, I asked, because apart from the Dyche appointment, we didn't really know which decisions were Edu's. One example is that the signings of Jesus, Cuiabano and Cunha were probably Marinakis via Textor, as was, I suspect, Ange.

Which signings were really Edu's was in doubt, as was whether they would work out.

Some might still work out, but in many cases I doubt it.

Clearly, Marinakis thinks some of the Turkish signings were Edu's fault, so that clears it up for me.

09 Mar 2026 20:31:11
The irony is, most fans agreed with Nuno about not having enough cover in the fb positions. We just thought it was idiotic to go public with a man like Marinakis in charge, especially just after signing a three-year deal.



Too many egos at work in the Forest hierarchy. Marinakis may be a flawed personality, but at least, if it is clearly him in charge, there are no power struggles. His record in appointing managers isn't that bad, apart from Ange.

09 Mar 2026 20:38:34
Cyclist, in answer to your question, mate, it tells me that our owner's recruitment skills are not his strong suit, as evidenced by the fact that 8 of his 10 managers since he arrived in 2017 have been sacked, on average, with less than a season in charge. The only successes have been Cooper and Nuno.
As for the off-field appointments, they change almost as frequently.

In particular, he must have either appointed incompetent accountants, causing us a points deduction for breach of FFP, or, more likely, he appointed David Randle as Chairman (a top sports law KC), then chose to ignore his expert legal advice.
It's just as well Forest are his hobby, and shipping is his profession...

09 Mar 2026 20:47:59
There have been some really strange decisions and a catalogue of errors.
Zinchenko (Edu must have had a hand in that one?) was signed on a season-long loan, which was terminated early.
Signing Kalimuendo and then letting him go out on loan left us with one fit striker.
Either Marinakis is using him as a scapegoat or he realises the guy was a disaster.

09 Mar 2026 20:48:50
Marinakis has obviously recruited better than previous owners, as none of them got us into the promised land.

If you think Marinakis treats Forest like his private toy, obviously that's true. Allowing capitalism to take hold of what were member-owned organisations was never going to go well.

It's like the privatisation of utilities in sporting terms. Somebody benefits, but it isn't the fans. We now pay more and get less, just like when we turn on a tap, light or try to catch a train.

Clough was right.

09 Mar 2026 21:31:31
Lego, yes mate.

09 Mar 2026 22:17:11
It's a low bar, Cyclist, but I guess 2 hits out of ten is better than none, mate.
I think it was President Harry H. Truman who had the big sign on his Oval Office desk saying "The Buck Stops Here". If only people like Mr M had the same ethos.

09 Mar 2026 23:25:42
Stokey, I thought you were supposed to be intelligent. The buck does stop with Marinakis; he literally pays for every mistake he makes. Where else does the buck stop? If we are relegated, the value of his football business decreases massively, and a loss in turnover of over 100million. So would you have us believe the 'buck stops'?

10 Mar 2026 01:17:42
"Ho ho ho, Green Giant." 🌳

09 Mar 2026 21:32:09
Maranakis might be learning by butting out of football decisions and paying and leaving people alone that know what there doing now. Biggest mistake he ever made not listening to nuno simples and a fact that could cost us and him big time.and edu has all the headlines now at forest what he wished for.but for the wrong reasons.

Its took a long time for Maranakis to realise that he made the wrong choice with edu but fair play to him he's got rid of the twerp before the end of the season and didn't let him spend in January good riddance to bad rubbish even dtp seen this coming that's why he disappeared doesn't do i was wrong.again and again 🤣🤣

10 Mar 2026 06:50:38
Well, skegs, he's doing something right. He owns a multi club football group, a shipping line, multiple other businesses, and half of Athens. My guess is his decisions in life overall have been slightly superior to yours.

10 Mar 2026 10:42:15
Stevie, you talk about loss of £100 million in turnover? Breaking it down, where do you think the Prems TV money goes? Any losses are supposedly restricted by FFP.

Our owner's wealth is estimated to be around £5 Billion. The cost of building a new oil tanker is approximately £100 million. He has around 150 of them.

He will have suffered financial loss, but to him it's like loose change down the back of his settee. We are his hobby, not his business, as I said. A mere trinket for which he will get a big chunk of his investment back, no matter what division we are in when he gets bored and decides to sell. The buck is hardly stopping anywhere near him, is it, in any meaningful way?

10 Mar 2026 11:37:26
Stokey, with people like Maranakis, it's all about pride and ego. They've got all the money they need, and nobody will be more upset than him the way the season has gone. He'll realise he's made mistakes, and that will hurt him far more than any monetary loss.

We are not his hobby. Us and Olympiacos are his obsession, that's why he gets so emotionally invested, and these outbursts you talk about occur. But, in the end, the buck most definitely stops at his desk.

10 Mar 2026 12:50:34
To be fair, Stevie, I agree with some of that. I've already praised his passion and commitment, but I'm guessing that he probably has more of both for his hometown club, Olympiacos. Loss of face is a big thing in Greek machismo among local rivals.
Perhaps his motivation stems from the fact that in Greece he is a very big fish in a small pond, and buying Forest, with our potential and history, is a way of buying a bigger pond.
Likewise, (with no evidence whatsoever) perhaps his investment in Rio Ave is akin to the Hollywood stars buying Wrexham, or a shrewd way of moving money and players around and circumventing FFP.
Who knows whether his angry outbursts are genuine passion or the petulance of a spoilt child not getting his way?
I remember years ago when I watched Forest beat Arsenal in the FA Cup (when Eric Lichaj scored a couple).

I watched the highlights on MOTD subsequently, and the cameras kept panning to Arsenal fan Idris Elba in the Directors' seats. Despite his talent, wealth, gorgeous wife, and Hollywood lifestyle, he was suffering like we all do when our team is getting beaten.
Likewise, I sat behind Sean Bean at Cloughie's last home game, and he was a bag of nerves and excitement (and he stood up to applaud Cloughie at the end).
We are all just fans at the end of the day. We rejoice when we win and are cast down when we lose. We can never walk away.
Unlike Mr M., I believe.

07 Mar 2026 21:50:12
Another great night at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, spoilt by a contentious VAR call. The ref had a choice though; stick with the yellow he had given or upgrade to red. He took the easy option.

IMO, it was a yellow despite the multiple rollovers by Gaspatiou!
The FA Cup gives these great match ups; long may it continue despite the 2nd and 3rd string being played!
Well done Wrexham!

07 Mar 2026 22:36:02
If he hasn't gone in with his studs up, I don't think he would have been sent off. It didn't look like much contact, the Chelsea player made a meal of it.

07 Mar 2026 22:54:23
It was a yellow. But Wrexham players played for their shirt, absolutely brilliant to watch.

07 Mar 2026 23:33:04
I'm glad Wrexham are out, sick of hearing about them.

08 Mar 2026 10:56:33
He was fired up and mistimed it. He touched him just below the knee, with studs showing, so it could have gone either way. I think an ex-player would have given a yellow. That's why they should be on the VAR panel.

08 Mar 2026 11:15:52
He deserved to be sent off - it was a malicious tackle and he got nowhere near the ball.

08 Mar 2026 13:29:46
2Gold Stars, Absolutely spot on mate.

Yes, Stevie, constant camera shots of the owner and his fit Mrs don't change the fact it was an awful challenge, with intent, that deserved the punishment the officials gave. Very good officiating to step in, as at first off it looked a booking. A couple of extra angles showed it to be a clear red for me.

Reports of Edu being sacked?

07 Mar 2026 21:02:46 I've been saying that. It should have happened since he got rid of Nuno at the start of the season.

07 Mar 2026 23:51:35
Sliding doors moment....

08 Mar 2026 06:50:03
I've seen reports that he has been told to stay away from matches and the training ground. He will be gone soon. A useless article, as my Dad would have said!

08 Mar 2026 07:58:48
Reports around the City Ground. Mr M has sacked the tea lady; she didn't put enough milk in and only 20 sugars. Who's next?. 😂😂🤡🤡

08 Mar 2026 09:12:25
Should have shown Edu the sliding door and kept Nuno.

08 Mar 2026 11:00:07
Agreed, Perko. A poor decision, amongst many, by our owner. As I've said before, if you've got a winner like Nuno, you should nurture and support him. Like our committee with Cloughie.

Yes Stokey.

Evening Reds. I just want to say that I'm sure along with you all, I'm really glad that Bowie has decided to stay on the site. Despite personally experiencing his wrath directed at me when I first joined the site (!), I've always admired Bowie's passion and knowledge.

I have called him 'The Daddy' of this site before for a good reason.

Keep those 'and so ta bed' posts coming Bowie.

07 Mar 2026 19:43:20
I am too, as I've said before, Bowie, you keep reminding us to "Cherish the ones around you"....
None of us are perfect. You wore your heart on your sleeve, mate, something to be greatly admired.

07 Mar 2026 19:46:51
Who's the mammy of the site, Stokie. 🤣🤣 He helps us all to sleep with his bedtime stories of history.

07 Mar 2026 21:39:51
Now then, my Geordie boy, what's this nonsense about you leaving the office? Can't have this, not at this time, especially when DTP is due out of rehab. I appreciate that you're in a dark place, but daylight follows night. I was watching Get Carter the other night, and the scene where Jack goes into the pub after his train journey from London and asks for a pint in a thin glass, and the look on the hard-working men's faces was a picture.

I've never met you, yet I know you. You could have been in that pub quite easily, even the working men's club where the singer gets a battering. Priceless, just like you.

07 Mar 2026 21:23:23
Sorry Skegs, but I've just had an involuntary thought that's popped into my head about you suckling on one of Stokey's breasts.

I'll be getting heavier medication on Monday.

07 Mar 2026 22:01:32
Oddly enough, Vale, the book on which the film Get Carter was based (by Ted Lewis) was set in Sheffield and moved to Newcastle in the movie. It's a gritty read.
I think, Skeggs and Lego, it's way past both your bedtimes. You'll both be on the naughty step tomorrow. 😂😂😂💤💤🥲

07 Mar 2026 22:12:30
Luv ya all, bless, cannot thank you all enough for the great gestures. But need to sort my head out, take care all of ya. Unbelievable family Reds FTID.

07 Mar 2026 22:14:48
I'll ask Mrs Legolas to chastise me physically tonight for my comments.

I wish.

07 Mar 2026 22:06:08
Yes lego mate. maybe you've had too many hits to the head in your wheelchair rugby pal. 🤣

07 Mar 2026 22:42:21
Didn't know that Stokey, but it does make sense comparing the two cities. Both are industrial and downtrodden, with workers governed by the factory owners who exploited them for their own means.

07 Mar 2026 22:40:10
You're probably right Skegs. Certainly too many broken ribs as well. Nasty boys sport.

I do love beating-up disabled people though.

08 Mar 2026 09:10:08
Getting back to your post about Bowie Red Vale, he might well have been in that pub in Get Carter, but you'd never have found him! 🤣🍻 The Geordie G-spot.

08 Mar 2026 11:33:35
Vale, the subtle differences between the book and the film are interesting. For example, in the film Carter famously throws Cliff Brumby off a multi-storey car park ("you're a big man but you're out of condition. For me, it's a full time job. Now behave yourself"). In the book Carter chases Brumby round a car park in his car until he's exhausted, then executes him with a shotgun from the boot if I remember correctly.
Sheffield is never mentioned by name in the book, just clues like the rival football teams play in red and white and blue and white, etc.


In the film Carter is shot by a sniper on a beach and his body left on a seaward-bound coal conveyor. In the book, he's left badly wounded, but his death isn't confirmed, leaving the way for a sequel.
Interesting man Ted Lewis. Died in his 40s from alcohol issues just as he was hitting his stride in films and books.

What a game at Murrayfield, let's hope we come back from Rome without egg on our faces. 🌳

Heart, desire, discipline, Italy showed us everything we don't have. 😕🌳
