Nottingham Forest banter 7

I put my hands up, I, ve wrong about Edu, it’s just pure coincidence that things have gone Down The Pan since he’s had Mr M, s ear. sorry.

11 Dec 2025 13:23:31
??? carlo edu out.

11 Dec 2025 17:05:55
What has Edu actually done that you think made things go down the pan?

11 Dec 2025 10:58:31
The knife hero Steven Crean travelled with the team to Holland. Well done the Reds
Also, Murillo, Zinchenko and Luiz in the squad.
I watched Utrechts 1 1 draw at home to Twente on Sunday. It won’t be easy ( especially without Yatesy) they looked fast and zippy going forward, creating chances particularly first half.

They faded second half and, after Twente’s deserved equaliser were under the cosh last 15. Their goalkeeper kept them in it and saved a point.

11 Dec 2025 11:44:17
We got more subs than captain Yatesy. We will be fine.

Yatesy will be back after the welsh game - bit tough that one!

11 Dec 2025 13:25:24
We should be able to beat that lot with the ladies team ?? stokie already bringing out the excuses Where's your faith in dycheball.

12 Dec 2025 11:49:04
Looks like I was right again Skegs! A damned close run thing as Wellington said of Waterloo!

I hope you haven't been up all night. trying to think that up rogie not bad though ??? edu out.

11 Dec 2025 17:57:50
Just trying to lighten the mood mate.
Happy Chrimbo!
Ya boy yee!
Hope your Dad's doing ok.

10 Dec 2025 20:09:47
For me some of the worst signings have been Morata, Kalimuendo, Sangare and McAtee. Fair few million there down the pan. Ndoye has done little since arriving, I don’t think Jesus is a premier league striker though he has, of late, had little service.
Add to that the injuries we have, and the completely bonkers appointment of Posta-no-clue and it’s a recipe for struggle, division and failure.


I still maintain Nuno knew he couldn’t do much with this squad and augmented his own exit, the rest, as they say, is history.
We will be lucky to avoid relegation this season, one that held so much promise for everyone connected to the club.

10 Dec 2025 22:00:33
Cheered me up no end that Frog!

10 Dec 2025 22:18:24
Who really knows about the players above. All we can say that since SDs arrival the club from a nose dive has now stabilized. We are hearing once again negative comments. We have had two recent losses in the league.

Let’s see how SD and the team react. SD kept Burnley up and Everton so I have no doubt he will keep Forest up. It maybe Maranakis wants De Silva, but I think we will end up higher then them and West Ham x.

10 Dec 2025 22:50:17
Redfrog, he'd already done something with the squad, if only he'd have trusted in the new players, or at least given them a chance?
He'd never of got away with the tight knit squad he always wants?
Everywhere he goes it's about that tight knit small squad, great if you get no injuries?
But he knew this season that wasn't possible, so a big squad essential?
I wish he would of given it a go tbh
He had the nucleus of players and given additions to help cope with 3 games a week, but didn't try it
He had the fans on hus side, he had everything going for him, but decided to publicly take the owner on?
No way back from that and in reality a great shame for NFFC.

11 Dec 2025 00:26:59
Love each other or hate em, guess what gentlemen? We all support the same club, through good times and bad. Who would have thought that when coops took over when we were sat bottom of the championship that just a few years later we'd be in a European competition and arguing about if our £30 or £40 million signings were hit or miss. Coops went because of inflexible tactics and Nuno came in, after a magnificent season he fell by his sword and more inflexible tactics. Now we have Dyche who is in my opinion learning to be less inflexible with the most talented squad he's ever had.

Oh sorry i forgot Ange, to be fair on him we did actually play some exciting stuff going forward but unfortunately forgot all the parking the bus between the white lines stuff.
We dig at each other, slag each other off and argue to the point that the Eds must think we're mostly insane, but isn't that what families do?
One big red family ? (apart from DTP, he adopted) ?.

10 Dec 2025 18:12:19
"Trust, takes years to make, seconds to break, and years to repair,
As individuals we support this club. Each and everyone with their own versions.
Myself i hate forest snobs, I've been/ born in etc etc etc.
Again let the club breathe, don't it suffocate it's love
For any light that lights up our lives my fellow reds, especially this time of year, with hardships, the losses of loved ones.

Breakups.
Is the reason we do it. It's a get out clause of reality at times.
We bury our heads in it.
Clough/ taylor with ya all. Xx.

10 Dec 2025 19:54:19
Well said mate.

10 Dec 2025 22:18:22
Bless ya my irish diamond, obviously one of the best songs ever, fairy tale at the city ground. No but really was a classic. this time of year brings memories of Shane/ Kirsty, and your posts of your pride on your laddie doing ya so proud through life. You take care young man. Sorry I missed ya over here ?.

11 Dec 2025 09:07:09
??? True words my friend especially the trust sentence, but onwards and upwards Bowiered it's just Football its just our Club but probably the best club in the world, or is that the lagers getting mixed up now you do when your my age ???.

10 Dec 2025 15:59:37
@Carlo

Can you pinpoint exactly what Edu has done wrong?

10 Dec 2025 16:10:46
Cyclist he doesn't after explain himself to you. same as I don't have to. nothing you say will change our minds on edu the terrible. So live with it pal. like we've had to with nuno and dycheball from you.

10 Dec 2025 16:15:16
I can, spent 200 million on crap ?.

10 Dec 2025 16:53:19
Breathed? OK ok kidding but you lot leave carlo alone. Bless him. And lego, course dtp has met carlo. Carlo used to meet up with us at the tbi. When I made the effort.

10 Dec 2025 17:11:42
I heard it was because he prefers an afro 70s style cut downstairs and hates a Brazilian. ✂️?.

10 Dec 2025 17:44:12
It, s simple, just look what’s happened since Edu arrived.
If your happy seeing a man cause such disruption to a club that was at last on the up after so many lean years that’s your prerogative.
One of the respected radio Nottm commentators has said the the atmosphere at the club suddenly turned toxic over the summer.


The evidence is there to be seen on the pitch.
I, ve see the club go down this route several times over the years and the result has aways been the same relegation.

10 Dec 2025 18:12:08
What disruption has Edu caused?

Nuno has signed a deal and then deliberately overplayed his hand and walked off with the money at his last three clubs now (four if you count Wolves). That is a Nuno thing and his job isn't to choose who Marinakis hires when he's getting millions to coach the team.

What other disruption has Edu caused. I'm not saying he has or hasn't, I want to know what you can actually say he has done personally that has caused disruption.

You can't blame Edu for Nuno leaving, nor can you blame him for the Ange appointment, as that was Marinakis.

So is Dyche a disruptive influence? Syrianos and Edu appointed Dyche.

Or is it something else?

As for the signings, it isn't one person behind them anyway. Some are throught Edu contacts like Luiz and Hutchinson (who both look good), but others are based on Forest's in club team and MArinakis Textor connections.

10 Dec 2025 18:12:36
Oh, and yes, Nuno turned the atmosphere toxic. End of.

10 Dec 2025 18:17:40
Funnily enough I never heard one complaint about edu imminent arrival last season
And not this until nuno downed tools and was sacked for gross misconduct.

10 Dec 2025 18:38:15
You keep that glass half empty there Carlo:) ?.

10 Dec 2025 18:51:40
Bowie - I'm not a mind-reader nor clairvoyant. How was I supposed to know that both you and DTP have met with Carlo?

All I'm saying is that I found him a great guy when I met him.

10 Dec 2025 18:54:28
Yeah the 3 stooges together again ???.

10 Dec 2025 21:28:14
Sorry lego, didn't mean to put it over wrongly. ?.

10 Dec 2025 23:09:32
And no, Jay, nobody has to explain themselves. But if you shout something really loud and people don't understand why, then the only way you make sense is by explaining why you're saying it. This is a site for banter and Forest chat.

And I'm not trying to have a go. I am trying to explain why it makes no sense to me blaming Edu for Forest's problems. I don't think it is that simple for a second.

If you don't explain why you're saying something, people will think you are a bit odd. And, yes, I know I'm odd, that's why I love Forest probably. ?.

10 Dec 2025 23:09:49
The problem with meet ups lego is that it causes you to defend or not post back if you disagree with that poster? I'm glad i met the people I've met on here, some very good friends, but it changes how you post
I ve never met skeggs or balloons and I prefer that, i can say what I like to them and they can say same back, sometimes it's better not to put a face to that poster, just keep it fresh?
I'm not advocating you don't do meet ups at all, but I won't do any more
The site was always feisty back in the day, but we never had the cliques we have now.


You meet people some you get on with others you don't, that's life
Gazzi been on here for years but doesn't want that meet up and many more, no offence gazzi
Love the site and the bickering, as some put it?
Imagine if we all just kept Pating each other on the back and kept agreeing?

11 Dec 2025 00:31:06
Back in the day when you listened to radio, I listened to Steve Wright and Chris Ashley, when I saw there faces it was a shock, voice and face didn't match. When I read posts on here I imagine what the posters are like, and if you meet up it could be a disappointment if they are a t**t in person!, I view the site like the neighbour you nod at, but wouldn't invite them in your house on New years Eve for a drink ?.

10 Dec 2025 11:14:39
You know we've got a decent squad of players at the club experience and young guns but why are we suffering from all these injuries again. Morato is low on skill and confidence along with a couple of other's but a tweak in January can rectify all that, definitely Nunu played us the European squad was a joke he knew he was going then, I feel for Hutchison and Cunha shame on Nu no.

10 Dec 2025 13:05:29
A parting shot that should have all the Nuno worshippers questioning themselves. ?.

10 Dec 2025 14:02:06
Yes a parting shot indeed leaving 2 players that had barely kicked a ball for us out of a group stage European competition!
How could he lol?
It will go down as one of the biggest parting shots in history ?.

10 Dec 2025 14:37:05
?? redfred I mean Hutchinson really looks class in the one or two full games I've seen him in ? 3 managers that have mainly played him off the bench. we must know something them football managers don't know. and cunha hasn't even kicked a ball for us yet but apparently he's one of the best left backs in Europe naughty nuno ??.

10 Dec 2025 15:05:13
And the Nuno lovers appear???.

10 Dec 2025 15:18:17
Cuhna is a centre back and has played at Newcastle.

10 Dec 2025 15:53:34
Cuhna is a CB.

10 Dec 2025 16:12:01
Oh did I spell his name wrong look your teaching me bad habits dtp ???.

10 Dec 2025 21:45:50
You spelt it EMU out skegs? And thought rod hull still had his hand up a few wrong uns at the club.

10 Dec 2025 07:39:40
{Ed's Note - albeydered has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool's Standards, Leadership and a Line Being Crossed

09 Dec 2025 23:19:39
Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end, we lived and fought with every place we went.

09 Dec 2025 21:32:20
Been going to forest for near 70 years and l go wanting them to lose, that’s the sort of carp I, ve put up with for years on here.

09 Dec 2025 21:58:23
Well stop moaning all the time
We win at Liverpool and nothing from you but one swallow doesn't make a summer, then we lose to Everton and your on berating marinakis non stop.

09 Dec 2025 22:21:10
Is that the best you have dtp we beat Liverpool on a long losing run and lost to a average Everton ?? didn't we take 4 points off Liverpool last season when nobody else could do and they were the best team in the Premier league winning it and you still moaned about the football pot kettle.

09 Dec 2025 22:35:44
I always give credit to good performance
See your just as bad as carlo.

10 Dec 2025 06:07:05
Carlo is entitled to his oppion dtp. Just because its different to yours doesn't mean it's not valid. I totally agree with him. A Marinakas masterclass in how to push the self destruct in one single move. The bloke is a buffoon. Craves. top Six league/ European competition gets it and blows it.


You say get behind Edu and the rest. Why? Do you think your vocal analysis is going to make any difference to Marinakas, I doubt he reads this site. We are virtually unwatchable and in a right mess with a 3rd rate manager. That's down ro one mans arrogance.

10 Dec 2025 07:54:21
It's the constant battering of marinakis that gets my goat balloons
He's the only owner to put his money where his mouth is and has actually achieved things both on and off the pitch and put the club on a firm platform for the future.
Having a go at the owner like you and skeggs are doing also for hiring Edu will get the club no where
Be grateful we have an owner that wants success and does his best to achieve it
Stop bashing the club and the way marinakis runs it, it's his money and he'll never get every decision right, but it's not for the want of trying.

10 Dec 2025 09:21:52
I will bash whoever I want to bash dtp. and I can't rehashing maranakis I've only ever mentioned twice once when he threw his dummy out in front of millions of people at his manager who eventually got payback ? and second for letting a muppet run our club and buy rejects and that's also biting him in the arse.

i will say things has I see them and if you don't like it tough ?.

10 Dec 2025 09:52:53
When you say its now unwatchable, what games are you talking about, all of them under dyche?
Cus so far he's won five of them
You are having a dig at marinakis though skeggs.

10 Dec 2025 10:21:43
Dtp ?????.

10 Dec 2025 10:44:54
It's just the constant 70's style lumping it that makes it unwatchable dtp. The new manager bounce is over and we are sitting just above the relegation zone, Dyche territory. That is all the man is capable of and forget the Stone/ Woan thing, it adds nothing to the party.

Yes we scraped through against relegated Wolves, but my god it was dire.
Hardly champagne football is it. A season of woe is firmly upon us.

10 Dec 2025 10:46:15
Emoji man.

10 Dec 2025 11:26:54
Hiw many champagne games did you watch under nuno?
I know how many balloons it was 28 over nearly two seasons and his first season was a bit dire if your honest with not many wins and just avoiding relegation
Thing is we couldn't have a tight knit squad and compete in the premier, league Cup, FA cup and europe, so a lot of players had to be bought in and because Palace fought till the end, it was all a bit rushed
We are a selling club still so have to buy young up and coming players with a sell on value, so nuno was never going to get traore.
What more can you ask of a new coach than to win 50% of his opening games and have to cope without half his squad
Give him a chance, I didn't like Saturdays performance one bit, but really enjoyed watching us beat Liverpool, Leeds and porto
Right now it's about points more than the football
I said last week that that was our worst performance of the season, but I'd forgot the west ham at home performance which was dire aswell
I doubt Dyche is a long term plan, but we won't sack another coach this season
We miss murillo and ainas pace at the back and right now it'd hard for Dyche to rotate much with so many injuries, anyway ill be there Sunday no matter what, you reds.

10 Dec 2025 12:46:57
I will be there Sunday dtp in my recliner with heating on full blast plenty of cold Stella in fridge. Nice big screen to watch the horror movie return of the dycheball massacre. and a nice Sunday dinner for after have fun pal I know I will ????.

10 Dec 2025 13:36:12
What you mean is playing with your phone and talking nonsense on live chat.

10 Dec 2025 14:40:15
Dtp probably right dtp. got to be better than watching that nonsense dycheball has the team playing. and you actually pay to watch it ????.

10 Dec 2025 15:07:51
He's got you there DTP, how much is a season ticket? ??.

10 Dec 2025 15:15:34
And just to play devils advocate, Skegs we're probably paying for it with our tax rises, bloody pensioners??.

10 Dec 2025 15:20:18
That's cus I'm a fan skeggs and it's in my blood
Then again hard to get a fester lad to understand that ????.

10 Dec 2025 16:13:03
Yes bought his ticket with his winter fuel allowance ???.

10 Dec 2025 16:14:17
He hasn't got me at all winter
£560 if you must know and worth every penny
Guaranteed cup and europe matches plus get a few away days
What's not to like?

10 Dec 2025 17:07:38
Skegs is forest through and through, how he chooses to support us is his choice DTP. Stop with the accusations because he doesn't agree with you. Its getting boring. ??.

10 Dec 2025 17:41:53
No more banter skeggs winter the new boss of the site font like it ????.

10 Dec 2025 18:11:05
I can’t believe I’m saying this DTP but your earlier post at 11.26 is one of the best and most perceptive ones I’ve ever seen on here. ????.

10 Dec 2025 18:13:01
£560 ?, skegs imagine what we could do with that, almost two years of pot noddles in Geordie money. All that to watch route one. ???.

10 Dec 2025 19:13:41
Thanks stokey, just saying it as it is as always.

10 Dec 2025 22:09:38
Fair enough! Good post!

10 Dec 2025 22:23:01
And don't them borrowed knickers in a twist DTP??????.

11 Dec 2025 11:38:18
I preferred the one where he called you a twat stokie ???.

09 Dec 2025 20:55:06
Hey Ed001, do you know what is and what isn't a handball? I certainly don't anymore. ?.

{Ed001's Note - not a clue. They seem to make it up as they go on a match by match basis now.}

09 Dec 2025 21:09:44
Sad that the San Siro will go next year, on the pitch the game isn't great but the Inter fans are superb. ?.

09 Dec 2025 21:52:50
Come on Ed001 "get your jam out for the lads, get your jam out for the lads" ????.

09 Dec 2025 22:02:09
I didn't realise the Luftwaffe still train dive bombers??.

{Ed001's Note - that was terrible. Sad thing is that the ref didn't book him for it, even if he still gave the pen. His shirt was pulled, very clearly, but that does not make you do that. Nice to win though!}

10 Dec 2025 15:09:58
It was appalling mate, i was actually laughing at his amateur dramatics, when the ref looked at it i thought yellow for diving not an actual penalty. ?.

09 Dec 2025 19:45:32
A great player at striker is Ange-Yoan Bonny as he is a young 6ft 2in striker and appears to fit our system, just needs to adapt to the league and might be expensive so we would need to sell.
