Nottingham Forest banter 6

09 Sep 2026 23:22:59
Jair Cunga called up to Brazil squad.

10 Sep 2026 12:36:20
I’m not surprised Forest. He’s been our best central defender so far this season and the end of the last when he wasn’t injured He’s suited to OGs system rather than being stuck out at full back. Comfortable on the ball, dominant in the air, fairly quick and young. He will only get better.

10 Sep 2026 13:56:46
Have to agree mate,and when Murrilo gets himself fit,even better!!!

10 Sep 2026 15:22:27
Funny you should say that.

Someone was just saying it might be a kick up the arse for Murrilo. He has dropped off over the last 12 months. Hopefully inspire him back to his best, whatever it takes.

10 Sep 2026 15:53:46
Don't be too hard on him Forest, mate. I once went out to get our washing in and found that Murillo had already cleared it off the line.????.

10 Sep 2026 16:27:37
Wouldn't say a year mate?
Very funny Stokie!

10 Sep 2026 17:14:39
Very quick.?

Its the best part of a year.

Just doesn't seem able to sustain a decent run of form.

For me previous to that he was our best player for 2 seasons.

Has been sloppy so far this season. Cunha has outshone him. Hopong a bit of internal rivalry will help him kick on.

10 Sep 2026 17:40:38
Maybe,win! win!

10 Sep 2026 18:57:12
Thats what I'm hoping for.

11 Sep 2026 04:42:53
I've been saying Murillo is bang average for years, now it's coming home to roost. Prone to errors in vital situations & very sloppy of late.

11 Sep 2026 06:19:05
Think like me you got up way too early Larry!!!???
You must have been dreaming about him!!!?
I'm going back to bed,and when I get up again,I fully expect you to see the error of your sleep depraved ways!!!
???.

11 Sep 2026 12:33:26
??? job done Rogie. Awesome player, won't have a word said against him ?.

09 Sep 2026 21:41:20

Compare Danny Welbeck's finishing in tonight's cup tie with the finishing of Igor Jesus. No comparison, I'm afraid. Obvious why we're struggling to get goals and wins.

10 Sep 2026 00:22:06

Whoever tried to compare Igor with Welbeck?

10 Sep 2026 13:24:54
Jesus isn't our 1st choice number 9.

10 Sep 2026 13:57:36
I know mate,he's our "False no 9!!!"
???.

09 Sep 2026 21:05:42
A post about football not each other coming up (I know, some of you aren't interested in silly old footy).

Chelsea are losing to Leeds.

09 Sep 2026 22:58:58

Wow! Didn't watch the second half, unfortunately. It was Chelsea 0-2 Leeds at half time and I checked out. ?

10 Sep 2026 05:13:05

A fixture like this takes me back to where I first got into Football. Every team had a Chopper Harris or Norman "bite your legs" character. There was at least one player in a team who had three front teeth missing. The sports scientist was a bloke in baggy shorts running on the pitch with a galvanised bucket with cold water and sponge! And the only player who wore gloves was the goalie! Good old days. I wonder. ?

10 Sep 2026 07:46:30

So Alonso sussed Leeds out in the second half then, 6 goals scored with just one reply. Forest should have done Leeds the same way, but the results stand as they are.



Ndoye wanted by Man United now, so what do they see in him? Maybe the lad just doesn't want to be at Forest now!!!

10 Sep 2026 10:07:57
Chelsea look awesome going forward, Rogers, Palmer, Neto and Pedro are a delight to watch. ?

10 Sep 2026 17:20:41
Really, Redtrree.

Tell him I will drive him there.

09 Sep 2026 19:33:00
Never from Nottingham, my good old ma from North Shields, the da from London. I went to Toon matches from maybe 14 yr old. Always with my school mates. (Social club for my dad) bless him ish. Mother bless, just never stopped working. Anyway, learnt the trade from watching from the back as a keeper. Seen so many schoolkid errors throughout the leagues and players, hence Taylor/Clough. Could not believe the simplicity yet rewarding results. So ended up arguing the reality of the game. Next minute, yup Forest fan. And it really is that simple (like the game). I know Reds, all changed now with overpaid players, players unions, agents, Sky etc etc. Brought my kids up. Oldest played very good level. Scouted. Youngest played alongside Anderson, Wallsend Boys. Taught them to respect me on the line. Secondly their manager. As we all know tried my best to make em Forest fans (oldest btw been to a few with me) but always Toon bless em. Again youngest coaching for the Toon. And got my oldest into the waterboard, taking off where I left. (just been finished) health issues obviously. I really really see football for what it is, and the sins alongside it. Not here to knock it. We all know best way of keeping the young fit and not turning to the streets. You know what I mean. But Reds this as me as an older dad/grandad. Just saying.

09 Sep 2026 19:54:45

For me atm, Fred hit the nail on the head. Playing wingers without pace, sorry to say and not enough skill will never work. I hate it tbh. And managers shipped on with their past predictions make it worse. You need heart, Reds, and a coach to fire it. Regretfully I just see us pi$$ing against the wind. Just my opinion.

09 Sep 2026 20:34:11

At this moment in time, I agree Bowie.

Great earlier post btw.

09 Sep 2026 22:44:31

Thank ya the diamond my friend. Gonna leave the site for a good while. It's the old if you ain't got anything good to say then don't say it. So I'm as guilty as. Take care the lot of ya. And remember never take them close to you for granted. Make an effort. ❤️ FTID.

10 Sep 2026 22:12:09
Sorry to the above meant wingbacks.

Thanks Ed. Good reading as usual mate.
Look forward to catching up with the Ndoye/ Tonali battle as described and the match as a whole.
An interesting start to the season generally. Excellent point about the role reversal at Forest under Glasner and Palaces new boss

{Ed001's Note - it has been a very interesting start to the new season. Arsenal look like they are going to grind their way to another title though at the moment.}

09 Sep 2026 17:22:09
Away from football matters...
I just happen to be watching the quite brilliant "The African Queen ". (3rd time!!)

09 Sep 2026 18:45:57
Rogie, don't mention Queen to Stokie mate. You'll get him all excited again. ?

09 Sep 2026 18:57:00

Rogie, mate, my second favourite Bogart film after “Casablanca” but before (just) “The Big Sleep”. Nobody does the hard-bitten tough guy with a big tender and passionate heart than Bogie.

Apart from our own Bowie on here of course!

Great film! ??

09 Sep 2026 19:18:50
It really is superb,two absolute legends at their brilliant best from a bygone Era.

08 Sep 2026 23:12:47
I feel thankful that due to this site I have met up in person with great people like Stokey, McGovern and Carlo. Telling, though, that this site has lost the other two apart from Stokey.

I'm not a bitter nor a resentful person - but I do wonder how many posters have felt the need to leave this forum due to the 'bitchy element'? Personally, I think DTP was the chief instigator and I'm glad he's gone.

09 Sep 2026 01:48:12
True, Lego, but with DTP, I always found the gloves were off, he'd give it with his handbag, then I'd give him both barrels, but his skin was as thick as his personality. ??

09 Sep 2026 10:37:18
Don't agree, Lego. DTP had his options, but I find that refreshing, & at least when he spoke about football, it was with good knowledge. Nobody had more tussles with him than me, but I never lost any sleep.

It's a banter site, & I enjoyed our exchanges, & I'm sure he did. Some folk take life too seriously. If you want to talk politics, Shakespeare, & charities, etc., there's a discussion section for that. Lighten up, mate.

09 Sep 2026 11:36:58
Bowie and Lego, the voices of reason and worldly wisdom as always.
I found some of the posts from the usual suspects a bit tiresome but it’s like water off a ducks back to me, as you’ve previously pointed out Bowie. Some of the latter stuff, as I remarked was a bit creepy and stalkerish but when put into the context of my proper job ( when, for example,I had professional enforcers after me for some months before me and my team got them potted) then it’s pretty amateurish and lightweight tbh.


Larry, just a suggestion from your post above, mate, shall we leave it to Ed where to put posts on this site?. Ed 1 and his colleagues usually know what they’re doing ?
Moving forward, after this post, I undertake to be a bit more diplomatic in my responses….after all, like DDS, you can’t cure stupid ….
Over and out ……….( apart from the core function on here, which is football and the progress of our famous club) ……?

09 Sep 2026 17:45:31
Lego not quite sure why you’re talking about DTP he’s been gone weeks, at one time of day this used to be a Forest football site, not sure what you would call it now, we’re all grown men on here, so called ‘ bitching and bullying are two words I wouldn’t expect to be used.

09 Sep 2026 21:59:06
Stevie, read down bud. Tried everything. But I admit I get drawn into it.

10 Sep 2026 12:43:47
I'm not sure about his football knowledge and acumen at times tbh. I think DTP lost a lot of credibility on here when he came up with the ludicrous idea that a certain manager ( he that cannot be named. Get thee behind me Satan.) caused Murillo's "season ending injury" by playing him at left wing back in a Europa tie.


Another one on here who never let the facts confuse him once he'd made his mind up. But let's not be bitchy or bullying. He had a nice garden.

08 Sep 2026 19:39:44
Could someone plz tell me how Carlos doing these days, know he hasn't come back as he always called me Mr B ? Nah but seriously. Always had time for the laddie. Met him few times. Legend.
Secondly, plz plz the lot of ya stop pouring into stokey, and stokey bud.

Your football analysis is sometimes brilliant. It's the history of Hitler's wrongun etc and the Cleopatra's wet wipes they tear into ya. Just saying. But on stokey lately it's almost bullying reds. Won't see it with anyone on here. Well progressively.
Now let's reset and get on.

08 Sep 2026 21:40:54
Stokie bullying what you on, Bowie ??. Like he said in a previous comment, fact, as he likes to say, if you can't take it, don't give it, that goes for everyone.

08 Sep 2026 21:53:21
Jay, my friend, isn't about to and fro. And, you know it. It's about calling a halt on us all and getting back to the odd gesture and football. Skegs, the Forest sites tumbling, can't ya see it? Never here to try and rule it. Only to be there for all of ya.

08 Sep 2026 22:08:08
I've got through the last 12 to 14 years on here without any halts like a few on here. It's a banter site, and not everyone agrees with everything, and that's what the site's about; else there would never be one. I like Glasner. Larry doesn't. dtp liked Cooper, I didn't.

Rogie likes everyone, I don't. Carlo used to wind everyone up, same as Rhr with his commentary in-between, but do I still like them? Yes, I do. Because they say what they believe in. Do I like Stokie? Yes, I think he needs a cuddle though, lol. Let it be what it is, a banter site. ?

08 Sep 2026 22:32:05
And I blame VP for losing the semi last season. If we had European football this season, you lot would have something else to moan about. ?

08 Sep 2026 22:59:31
Oh, I forgot Baldy and my best friend, Stevie, the incredible sulk. ?

08 Sep 2026 22:24:35
To be fair i agree with Skegs, yeah several of us can take it to the edge of whats right and whats wrong. But we have Eds to police us, just because Stokey insults us more eloquently, it doesn't mean its not insulting.
And i agree with Skegs again, twice in one reply, a new record for the donkey humping gypo?.

I also don't have a problem with anyone here, i have to admit i even miss DTP(shh don't tell him please).
After the blasting i got from a certain poster about apparently disrespecting our ancestors, which i didn't by the way and never would. Maybe the neighbourhood watch should button it. ??

09 Sep 2026 13:01:56
A joke or banter if funny. The same joke/topic for an entire day and three threads is tedious.

A few decent players available with no contracts, Karim Benzamar has quit the Saudi Pro League - I think Garibaldi Red would suit him up front!

08 Sep 2026 10:23:39
Apparently several Premier League sides are in talks with Jadon Sancho. Really hoping we aren't one of them. ?

08 Sep 2026 12:24:00
Agreed, RRH! A player with a lot of potential, who decided to sit back, taking the wages, instead of playing to his potential!
No wonder he doesn't have a contract!

09 Sep 2026 19:02:59
Benzimar was probably on half a million a week in Saudi.
