Ok REDS. I need some help here please. Or even EDS. our very good friend and for me (biggest memory on forest for every game) stevie F went for heart surgery on 23 Rd of this month,but my good friend cannot get in touch with him, the hospital says because he doesn't know his 2nd name nor DOB they won't give out information on the laddie.

Plz plz if you can help (stokey I know you've got you're ways) just try and help. Very much appreciated reds.

Sorry obviously last month. Just in a moment.

According to the latest PL Super Computer, Forest to finish in 14th place! 3 promoted clubs to go down! However, it also has Man (cheating bar stewards) City to win the league!

06 Oct 2026 14:56:52
Yeah keef bud, del and Rodney only sold two of those. Mike Fisher of the nags bought the other 🫢.

Cost a pony from down Chapel market, Peckham, no VAT, and no guarantee. 👍🌳.

No offence Ed 1 but I went to see a boy band tribute act from Liverpool last night.Took That 😔😁.

I heard Oasis plan to sing the blues on next year's tour. 🤦.

Can see Tuchel picking MGW from the start and he gets injured in the first fifteen minutes (pessimist), hope the players all come back injury free and ready for the up coming games.

Get my fixed odds coupons on Thursday, and will be in football heaven trying to beat the bookies, it will be great to have proper football back.

06 Oct 2026 19:30:49
Scott withdraws, Lewis Skelly in for him tonight. With McAtee now playing deeper, i wonder if Tommy has an eye on him? 🌳.

05 Oct 2026 18:34:00
Those knocking Glasner for not playing CHO, have a read of the latest interview from our Austrian supremo. CHO hasn't been fit and is lacking sharpness due to his injury at the tail end of last season. Apparently he is nearing the levels needed to play a part in the coming weeks.


What worries me with this international break is Neco, playing every minute of the Wales games and getting knocked around. He's been probably their most consistent performer and is pretty much un-dropable for them. Hope he rests up the rest of the week. 🌳.

Hey Bowie and Cyclist, i was watching a highlights reel from one of my heroes the other night, 'Lars Bohemian Rhapsody', i couldn't help but think "is this the real life or is this just fantasy". But then i realised i was just caught in a landslide. 😁🌳.

06 Oct 2026 09:38:57
But did you escape from reality RRH?

I watched a utube clip yesterday, multiple Liverpool home fans at home, watching them lose 0-3 to Forest! Priceless, the reaction brilliant, cursing, swearing, telling Arne to leave asap coz his tactics were woeful! Only one of them said well done Forest! Oh the best, has to be the young Chinese girl going off the deep end - sub titles were not keeping up lol.

06 Oct 2026 10:30:52
Was that the game when SD was manager Keeff? 🎣😇
Seriously, we should cut RRH some slack as he's just a poor boy from a poor family, and spare him his life for his monstrosity.😁😔.

Question is gentlemen, "will you do the Fandango?" with me? 🌳.

06 Oct 2026 11:13:53
Omg winter, took me back there bud. What an amazing talent of a midfielder. I will never forget that beautiful chip over the keeper at sh#te no heart lane. We bagged him for a bargain around 400 k and lost him for next to nothing to blackburn.

(The good old get out clause dammit) the way he moved with the ball was amazing, the good old days. Thanks for that memory.

06 Oct 2026 11:30:38
Tremendous player. What he did with the ball seemed effortless. Genius. He seemed to have so much more time than everyone else on the pitch.

06 Oct 2026 11:39:59
Absolutely spot on stokey 👍.

06 Oct 2026 12:58:21
Graceful was one of the words that came to me watching him, brilliant silky player, i genuinely forgot how good he was. 👍🌳.

06 Oct 2026 13:14:01
McAtee is the new Bohinen 👀.

06 Oct 2026 14:28:38
McAtee? You mean "McAtee ia, McAtee ia
McAtee ia, let me go? ". 🤣🌳.

06 Oct 2026 15:17:42
🤣🤣 very good, winter.

05 Oct 2026 10:13:27
Bang on the money Bowie. You're exactly right. VP was the perfect fit from day one. Mr M got it completely wrong going for a big name manager over substance.

The club was more united, both the fans and players, than at any time since promotion at the end of last season. For once, we were watching entertaining, winning football.

I said at the time, sacking Pereira could well go down in history as the worst decision. The last time I felt like this was when we appointed Joe Kinnear, Mick Harford and Gary Megson. We ended up in League 1.

I really hope this works out, but my gut is telling me something different.

05 Oct 2026 12:19:24
Couldn't agree more. But it's done and we have to live with it. It's better. to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
If OG turns it around, all will be forgiven. If he doesn't, we will be cursing a missed opportunity for sure.

05 Oct 2026 09:19:14
It must be difficult for the players having so many managers so quickly. Such different styles.
Nuno playing without the ball and relying on fast breaks, Ange playing vintage Man Utd football but without the players to do it.

Dyche playing a brand of old English football, not a lot on the floor, Vitor playing Billy Walker, Johnny Carey football, a pleasure to watch,now OG with his wingless wonders, hard on the eye.
Mr M. certainly knows how to pick um.


In football you need consistency and lack of it can be costly.
CARLO.

05 Oct 2026 11:29:27
Good point carlo, palace will be up for it next week then arsenal and the cheats in quick succession. If we don't get anything from those games I think MR M should swallow his pride and try and get VP back, I just don't think the team have bought into Glasner and his system.

05 Oct 2026 12:21:20
Both brilliant posts Vale and Carlo, Exactly what I've been banging on about.

05 Oct 2026 12:57:04
England won the World Cup with wingless wonders, though they were boring as hell, and the fact that Storey - Moore only played a few times still rankles.

05 Oct 2026 13:16:38
ISM won one cap 1970 I believe.
Although the 66 side played without wingers there were very talented players on the side,all had very notable careers and Ramsey created a strong spirit.
At present I wouldn't compare the current Forest side to them but I would compare Vitors team to the great 67 team we had.


Let's hope they adapt to the current thinking or Mr M will be forced to pull the trigger again causing more chaos.
CARLO.

05 Oct 2026 18:43:48
Yes i agree with that Carlo, for me ISM was without doubt the best Forest player i've seen.

06 Oct 2026 18:38:13
Very good post under stokey oak 👍.

According to John Percy of the Athletic we beat Swansea 3 nil in a behind closed doors friendly yesterday.
Goals from McAtee and Delap
Milenkovic got 45 mins and should be available for Palace.
No further details as to line ups or venue etc.

04 Oct 2026 16:05:28
Crystal Palace lost their friendly with Bristol City, losing 0-2!

04 Oct 2026 19:25:51
Stokey, apparently it was meant to be a proper behind closed doors match, scores vary from 3-0, 2-0 and 2-1, depending on where you read it, but 2-0 is the most common. Looking at the pictures that I've seen, it looks to have been played at the training ground. All abit cloak and dagger. 🌳.

05 Oct 2026 08:25:00
Morning everyone 😁.living the glasner mr m dream 😁.

05 Oct 2026 08:58:27
Yes I did correct it to 2 nil and blamed it on my sausage fingers but it slipped through Ed's net mate. Hence 2 scorers. I was in Worksop on Saturday and Manchester yesterday so didn't have much time to research the game. I'll have a browse on Swansea s site today.

05 Oct 2026 15:28:34
Not much information out there folks except that Swansea played a virtual 2nd 11 with no fewer than 13 players on international duties and 3 injured.
