Predictions for tomorrow fellow Reds.
I personally don't think it's going to be as easy as some on here think. They gave Man City a hard time in Manchester and before Brighton ended up dismantling them the Seagulls keeper made 2 or 3 world class saves.
They have the lowest of low low blocks which will need patience to break down.

They intermittently look good going forward but have an error prone defence, as the stats show.‘
Id take any sort of a win. I still have nightmares about our nil nil against Wolves last season and the narrow one nil win at Molineux.
Also, the first hour against Burnley at the WFCG.

18 Sep 2026 12:24:02
If we play like we did at Villa in the second half, I can see us getting 4+ goals,not to disrespect Coventry but they really look shell shocked and Glasner could give a few players a chance?, Coventry will bring plenty of vocal support should add to the atmosphere. UREDS.

18 Sep 2026 20:43:55
Evening all (just realised, that wasn't aimed at you Stokey!)
Not posted for a while. Hope everyone is well.

If I was OG, I'd be making sure that we get at them from the first whistle. Really pressure them from the off. Don't let them get a foothold in the game at all.
As you said Stokey, they actually had some good chances against Brighton. They are quite weak at the back, so an early goal would be good! And if they get one, go straight after them again!
I'm old school and reminisce when it was like that under Clough and Taylor though! I was a bit too young for the European Cup times (Midweek Sport Special was how I saw that!) but from 83 onwards (when my mum started to allow me to go at 13) in the Trent End, I remember the many times when it was wave after wave of attacking intent!
Great times, and yes, I know those days are long gone, but I hope more than anything that we can get exciting football (in general, not just Forest) back again one day.
Apologies, this turned into'those were the days' type thing!
Definitely need to back up last weeks win at Villa!
COYR!

Missed ya Arizona bud, remember Mary Hopkins playing centre half, great chant. Those were the days my friend, (Obviously joking) for me,my friend (hang on again) 🤣 the games just losing it's soul. Drowned in owners and players lard. The fans overpaying whether to live games or sky.

The 60s onwards for me watching Newcastle before forest, was a togetherness built on friendship and laughter. Goose bumps and hatred. But you got home, knackered. But just so looking forward to the next high. Anyway just my opinion bud.

18 Sep 2026 21:22:54
Welcome back Arizona mate.

18 Sep 2026 21:52:28
Cheers Bowie and Rogie.
I get exactly what you mean Bowie mate. Oh, and made me p*#* the Mary Hopkins line bud!

Hope you are both well, and hope you're enjoying your retirement Bowie mate.

18 Sep 2026 22:09:15
Bless ya Arizona loving it bud thank you. 👍it's the simple thing of an alarm clock i think 🤣.

18 Sep 2026 22:11:40
Welcome back Arizona mate!
Mind how you go.👍👍😁😁.

19 Sep 2026 05:53:47
Very good Stokey!

And Bowie, it's the simple things in life that gives us the most joy mate.
One of things I try to do every day is appreciate the simple things in life. I know it's difficult at times, as we all go through tough times, but I do always try to show gratitude for what I have. I dont mean material things. Just having a a beer or glass of vino with the good lady, and the dogs laying next to you. Always make sure I take time to appreciate it!

Seems Tuchel got an issue with MGW.

18 Sep 2026 11:05:58
Spot on RettyRed! MGW better than Mainoo, and Scott. MGW deserved to be in the squad! Tuchel goes for defensive players every time!

18 Sep 2026 12:37:52
Arguably cost Tommy the World Cup ( not taking MGW)

18 Sep 2026 13:53:58
It'll be interesting if Delap keeps banging em in, with MGW assisting him. Surely Turtle won't have a choice but to call them up. 🌳.

18 Sep 2026 17:04:57
For me best number 10 in prem as it stands. What goes through Tommy turtles head only he knows but I'm thinking goldfish.

18 Sep 2026 19:03:30
I'd tell him to "Shove it!!!"
In his prime years and continually ignored.

19 Sep 2026 01:08:04
The benefit of Tuchel leaving MGW out is keeps him fresh for Premier games, and gets him rilied up to produce M of the M performance and plenty of goals from him.

19 Sep 2026 10:57:24
Agreed Mossy, his loss, our gain!

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🥰.

17 Sep 2026 18:40:19
Superb Bowie! 😂😂👍👍.

17 Sep 2026 20:20:32
ICONIC!!
👏👏👏.

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.

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! 😂😂🙄🙄.

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.
