Nottingham Forest Banter 3

Can only agree with previous posts about Brighton, the recruitment is excellent, even getting two Olympiacos players when we didn't get a look in, and even changing coaches just makes them progress and get better.
Wonder if we could claim it all started in 1973 when a certain Peter Taylor was there who planted the seeds to the success now🤔.

18 Sep 2026 19:49:26
Peter Taylor wouldn't say unsung my best ever forest hero mossy 😇.

18 Sep 2026 21:48:49
Btw mossey wasn't saying you said he was an unsung hero btw. 😇.

17 Sep 2026 21:05:19
I see Raheem Sterling has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.
He's now got 6 points more than Spurs.😁😉

Went to the paint shop today to get thinner.
It didn't work.🙄.

17 Sep 2026 21:51:33
Deport them to falklands football i say, they owe us one.

18 Sep 2026 13:12:38
Stirling is an overpaid entitled idiot.

17 Sep 2026 17:43:05
Anyway been a while, cough cough. Promised ya an old lyric twist, stokey. Pfffft pfffft, Mike a one two a one two three. 🤣 anyway the eagles.

Marinikis, why dont you come to your senses,
you've been out sacking coaches, for so long now.
Oh your a Greek one, but I know you still got your reasons,
these things that try pleasing, hurt the bank somehow,
Don't you draw the wfcg she will beat you if she's able,
And the king of hearts the Yates on settled ground.

Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid out on your table.
But your goodself leaves you blind.
Marinikis you ain't getting no younger.
You better put your trust in someone, put your trust in someone,
You better let your son take over, before it's to late.
Laaaaa daaaa taaaa taaaa. Ftid x🥰.

Superb Bowie! 😂😂👍👍.

17 Sep 2026 20:20:32
ICONIC!!
👏👏👏.

18 Sep 2026 08:09:57
Sounds a bit Desperado to me 🤡.

Wordsmith on a Journey of the Saucerer.

Fair play old bean, doesn't sound quite the same if I use a Geordie accent mind 😆 gaaan!

18 Sep 2026 19:55:41
Ginger 🤣 wordsworth. Any f kr sitting in the Yorkshire area, creaming loads from poetry. While sitting looking at daffodils Good on them. Us lot in the geordie area call them hippies claiming pip 🫢.

18 Sep 2026 22:17:56
Wordsworth had quite an exciting and racy life as a young man.
Went to France, saw the start of the French Revolution, fell in love with a French lady and had a child by her. then when the Revolution turned to terror and bloodshed ( as most Revolutions do) returned to England and wandered the Lake District with his sister, writing poetry.


" Bliss was it to be alive that Dawn
But to be young was very Heaven”.
Don't we all know it friends.
Poetry is filled with eternal truths.

18 Sep 2026 22:46:24
Actually been to his classroom stokey hawkshead. His name scribed on the desk. we stayed there cpl days lovely little place.

18 Sep 2026 22:43:33
And the poetry on his sister ?

19 Sep 2026 10:44:46
Dorothy's poetry was very good Bowie. She'd be a giant today compared to some of the mediocre, virtue signalling stuff out there at the moment. An age where clever women were largely unrecognised. The Brontes and George Eliot changed all that eventually, even though they had to disguise their names and have male alter egos to get published.
My wife and I went to the Lake District for our 50th birthdays ( both of us within 10 days of each other in December).

Went to Hawkshead but Wordsworths School was closed. Visited Dove Cottage, with the newspaper insulation and the stream running under the flagstones. Very cold. We have a moody photo of Wordsworth's grave at Grasmere in the frost under a clear blue sky, somewhere in the house.
Went to see Beatrix Potters House ( where they filmed) with my first wife and very young daughter. Beautiful bit of the country mate.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 4 - Quick Round Up

17 Sep 2026 20:22:20
Excellent review as usual Ed 1. Like you, I think that Sage should "fennel” his energies into getting his team into "mint” condition. 😔.

{Ed001's Note - ah you couldn't resist either!}

18 Sep 2026 12:26:48
Nope! 😂😂🙄🙄.

17 Sep 2026 12:37:10
My prediction of how the league will finish

1. Arsenal
2. Man City
3. Chelsea
4. Brighton
5. Liverpool
6. Leeds
7. Forest
8. Brentford
9. Man Utd
10. Spurs
11. Villa
12. Everton
13. Bournemouth
14. Newcastle
15. Hull
16. Sunderland
17. Palace
18. Fulham
19. Ipswich
20. Coventry.

17 Sep 2026 13:22:52
Spurs 10th? Have they even scored a goal this season?

I think we'll finish above Leeds. We are much better than when we played them.

17 Sep 2026 14:56:20
The promoted teams will be fighting regulation after January, Everton will finish higher and Leeds, Spurs will finish well below Nottingham Forest, for sure.

17 Sep 2026 15:15:13
I also predicted I'd look 21 yr old at 65. (Women eh) 🫢.

17 Sep 2026 15:37:36
Mossy bud there's no (regulations in the premier) money talks 🫢.

17 Sep 2026 15:59:33
Don't know how many of ya watched the league cup game last night (btw we won it for a laugh in the old days, apparently the trophy's are getting melted down for the bridge) no but seriously. I absolutely loved Brightons approach.

Just really give it all from every player, and what a young talent that fabian wurlittser or whatever his name is , brings to the game. Don't get me wrong and believe if ya didn't see it. Man united give it all at home. Love seeing young talented managers and a team with heart having a go. BUT COYR FTID.

17 Sep 2026 17:13:24
The Seagulls were magnificent, a real joy to watch, Gross was brilliant, pulling the strings and scored a beauty. Utd folded once they conceded the first, real lack of spirit and spine. 🌳.

17 Sep 2026 17:25:29
Brighton was ace Bowie, never gave up and fought for every ball, excellent comeback and thoroughly deserved.

I pu tGross in my dream team at the start of the season, a snip at 5.5M, he take corners and pens too, he has been a point machine so far. Who says 35 is too old, fair play to him!

17 Sep 2026 18:07:55

It's just everything I love about football ginger bud. No fancy s**** just heart and playing the simple ball with an idea what to do with it.

17 Sep 2026 18:29:30

No fancy s*** !🤣 🤣



Quality.

17 Sep 2026 18:32:48
Im just over the moon they are updating the bridge over the trent for cyclists. Apparently you can push red cyclist over using the excuse you were signalling left 🫢 same note, isn't there enough cycle paths in Nottingham 🫢 only joking bud.

17 Sep 2026 22:16:50
Cycle paths are dangerous. Too many pedestrians walk in them. Near my sons school there's two paths, one for cyclists and one for pedestrians and it like playing a video game going along there dodging the schoolkids. 😆.

17 Sep 2026 22:17:28
And don't get me started on dog walkers with 12ft leads.

17 Sep 2026 20:26:10
There are loads of cycle paths in Nottingham, Bowie. sorry, I thought you said " psychopaths "..😁🤔😔.

17 Sep 2026 22:19:00
And Jack Russels or Yorkshire Terriers that think they can stop a 13stone bloke going 20mph. 😱.

17 Sep 2026 22:52:40
Try paying road tax then cyclist, instead of your helmet I love the air approach. As for your son an electric uber, 🥰.

18 Sep 2026 09:38:43
Agree with you on the dog leads cyclist, all extending leads should be banned, very dangerous.

18 Sep 2026 12:35:13
Yes Bowie read my post and saw the spelling mistake🤦🤦, I'll make sure to check my DickandHarry before posting 🙄.

18 Sep 2026 15:09:25
Only joking mossy 🙄.

17 Sep 2026 12:31:42
A bit of positivity.

It looks possible that Tottenham, Aston Villa, Palace, probably Man U are all going to struggle this season. Everton have started well but have very little cover beyond their first team. Lots of the teams you might expect to see challenge for Europe may not be where they should. Evel Liverpool don't look that strong but will still finish in Europe I expect.

If we can keep it together, this season could be a big chance to finish top six.

17 Sep 2026 14:59:24
So long as Glasner and Mr Marinnakis can keep it civil, can only see a very positive finish to the season.

17 Sep 2026 15:39:42
Paddy power go's 5/2 big m will get a greek god before xmas.

17 Sep 2026 11:12:55
Well its Man Utd all over the place again, but the manager decided to play a weakened side and they got beat! I was a goalkeeper in my day, not a bad one either.

The first goal for Brighton was a keepers ball, Lammens could have walked out to the edge of the 6 yard box and picked the ball up!
Playing out from the back again, and yet another goal conceded 😆 🤣 😂 when will they learn!

17 Sep 2026 13:09:45
Was it not Darlow in goal for United mate?

17 Sep 2026 17:28:10
It was Darlow, Brighton could have easily had a few more too.

17 Sep 2026 18:28:07
Said to my youngest ginger we should have gone for darlow.

16 Sep 2026 22:52:00
Plans approved to expand the Stadium to 52,000 capacity. They just have to approve a new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Trent.

They want to start work end of season so mad rush to get that approved.

We might be in Europe on a building site if we have a good season.

17 Sep 2026 08:11:47
So forest complete the expansion but haven't sorted the new bridge. What does Mr M do next?

17 Sep 2026 11:16:19
That is great news, hopefully be done in time for me to get a ticket again 😆
We don't need a new bridge over the Trent, we can get Jesus to carry us over - Jesus walks on the Trent remember!
Looking forward to the game on Saturday, Friday, Sunday, Monday 😆 whatever day Sky want it played! Let's get some momentum going, and keep it going!
COYR.

17 Sep 2026 11:33:29
Re vamp the old suspension bridge and save a lot of money, no planning required.

17 Sep 2026 12:27:27
The footbridge looks like what they will accept (I mean the planning people).

17 Sep 2026 12:37:09
They want fans to use the park and ride, and will put on buses to ferry them in and out, the buses could drop fans off on the embankment in restricted as there will be no parking on match days. A quick walk over the suspension bridge and your at the ground in ten minutes, no brainier.

17 Sep 2026 15:19:04
ValeRed, I have worked on match days and parking can be a massive problem with a car of four people will park on the pavement even tactical restrictions and take the fine, buses taking supporters after the game could be a major problem with people pushing in, I really hope it works, they had problems at Everton when there new stadium opened but think they have been resolved, I still think sticking with West Bridgford is trying to fit a whole whale into a sardines tin🤷.

17 Sep 2026 16:41:31
I get what you're saying mossy and can't argue the case for moving. I've been over that new bridge off Trent lane a couple of times and the land on ladybay meadows would make for a fantastic ground and still have room for the training ground.

15 Sep 2026 07:39:13
{Ed's Note - thefutureisoldgold3 has posted a new article entitled, Wolves Ratings v Sheffield United

16 Sep 2026 15:01:59
Dropped my son. of at our Park and Ride depot about 5 miles from where I live.
So a bus driver signals me to pull down my window???
He shouted over "Uuu Redddss!!! I'm from Nottingham!!!
Going to the match on Saturday!!!!
He must have seen the Forest pendant and address sticker on the back of my car!!!!
Made my day!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣.

16 Sep 2026 16:28:07
It's a universal tribal war cry Rogie, mate, heard the world over.
I last heard it being bellowed towards me on the Street of the Knights in Rhodes in June by a fellow Red who saw my ancient Reds Sun hat! 😂😂😂😂
There was one occasion when I was on the " Maid of the Mist” about to go by Niagra Falls on the Canadian side, wearing my Reds shirt and in the queue for the yellow waterproof Mac they give you when I was hailed by a fellow Red from Bottesford !
Uuuuuu reddddsss! 😂😂😁.

16 Sep 2026 19:16:40
I shouted the same back!
Absolutely brilliant!

16 Sep 2026 19:20:26
Think I said before on here.
My son (who knows nothing about football).
Was coming home from his Night shift at the local hospital.
He said "Dad? This guy pulled up alongside me.
Kept fist pumping .pointing at the back of the car. I realised he seen your pendant.so I gave him a rather awkward thumbs up back"
🤣🤣🤣🤣.

14 Sep 2026 22:02:56
Saying home points are vital. Only Man City, Arsenal and Leeds have won a home game this month in the Prem.

14 Sep 2026 22:11:10
And we are only 3 points behind third. All to play for.

The unlucky defeat to Leeds doesn't look anything like as bad when you look at the table now.

14 Sep 2026 22:22:57
Or tonight's result against Newcastle.

14 Sep 2026 23:10:54
Living the Marinakis Dream.

14 Sep 2026 23:11:48
Newcastle were appalling though,

15 Sep 2026 08:13:52
Yep, too many kids in the centre of the pitch, they basically folded last night. I would imagine that others have taken note, easily bullied with a soft centre. 🌳.

15 Sep 2026 08:50:35
What like Man U when they had Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes and won the title?

15 Sep 2026 09:04:15
Physically they were different players, Miley and the 17 year old Dutch lad are about as physically opposing as Julian Clary playing prop. Butt and Scholes had bite. 🌳.

15 Sep 2026 10:27:01
Speaking of bite, I'd like to see Yates on the pitch.

15 Sep 2026 13:48:52
Me too Cyclist but atm he is, imo, behind Schlager, Sanghere and possibly Dominquez in that holding midfielder position mate.

15 Sep 2026 15:29:42
another injury and you might see Yatesy in the team, in the back 3, he's rightly down the pecking order in the midfield area,

15 Sep 2026 17:34:27
Yes Stevie, OG has mentioned Yates as a possible cover at centre back. He's played there a few times including in pre season.
He's got all the attributes but has a tendency to give free kicks away and has a 50p shaped head.

15 Sep 2026 19:12:01
Stokey, yes mate,of all the things I really wouldn't like to see, this is one of those.

15 Sep 2026 19:28:50
Should of sold him. all he is now is a overpaid mascot.

15 Sep 2026 19:47:03
I think he played there in a Europa match and did very well. But it's a specialist position and you don't want free kicks given away near our box. Looked what happened when Malenkovic clattered the Leeds lad.
But he's a good option until Savona recovers.

15 Sep 2026 22:26:37
Skeggs, Yates may not be the most gifted technically but he has many other skills and attributes. Have you ever seen him play?

15 Sep 2026 22:36:32
No never seen him play 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

16 Sep 2026 09:05:28
Thought not.
Yates is Forest through and through, a proper leader, articulate, hard working and an asset any boss would crave.

16 Sep 2026 10:32:22
He might be all that but he's not good enough to make first 11. so like I say expensive mascot.

16 Sep 2026 12:03:51
Yates is a a good Premiership player, He may well get his chance and will slot in seamlessly. Unlike any mascot I've ever seen.
I've seen him play many many times and can vouch for his quality and attributes.

A good professional who sets the standards. That's why he's a captain As I said, any Premiership manager would be pleased to have him.
I'm just glad you aren't in charge of recruitment and selection Skeggs.

16 Sep 2026 18:34:57
Skeggy, worryingly i seem to find myself agreeing with most of your posts these days, however you are wrong about Yates, every club needs a Yates and we have the original 🤣🤣.
