Solanke being picked for England is a bit of a kick in the teeth for Bournemouth. He's playing no better at spurs, but suppose it's perceived big club syndrome?.

03 Oct 2024 21:52:01
Good Evening Gents. OK, I've calmed down now from my tantrum! Have I missed anything?!

03 Oct 2024 22:19:29
Olive-branch reached out to Balloons.

04 Oct 2024 03:24:35
Just got up for a wee (age thing😉) looked on Banter seen your posting again, welcome back young un.

04 Oct 2024 05:30:43
Hi Lego welcome back. We don't half get silly at times. It's like Uncle Albert v Alf Garnett at times mate. 😀 A load of pensioners flexing there muscles, so silly.
(Although your not quite there yet) a few years to go buddy but it's coming 😆
Lets do a Liverpool, beat Chelsea and all have a great weekend.
Onwards and Upwards. I look forward to your next post 🎈.

04 Oct 2024 06:07:14
Welcome back mate. brilliant.

03 Oct 2024 07:39:30
{Ed's Note - DLIB has posted a new article entitled, Can EtH halt this malaise and save his job?

03 Oct 2024 15:14:38
I don't think many if any folk on this particular site care one jot about him keeping his job. We're Forest fans. Well, the majority are. Some I'm not so sure about at times.

03 Oct 2024 17:16:17
Couldn’t care less about Ten Haag or Man Utd hope they get relegated!

03 Oct 2024 17:44:28
Me too°.

02 Oct 2024 18:28:49
Whenever I see Celtic ( giants in the Scottish Premiership) dismantled when they tear into European competition ( like last night v Dortmund) I'm always reminded of the bit in Douglas Adams brilliant "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy " where a the combined mighty space warships of the Vl'hurgs and G ' Guranii hurtle across the Universe to conquer the first planet they come across, which happens to be Earth.
"Unfortunately, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, both war fleets are accidentally swallowed by a small dog". 😂😂😂😂.

02 Oct 2024 18:57:58
Nice one Stokey.
The Scots have had a few very good players but looking at their current squad, it's very poor quality.
That means the likes of Celtic who are pretty much all foreign, don't need to buy top class imports to win the league.
When it comes to European, they are shown up for what they are. dog food!.

02 Oct 2024 19:17:40
I happen to like Celtic, however Dortmund were different gravy.
Ps, They won it, something NO OTHER Scottish team will ever repeat.
😏😏😏.

02 Oct 2024 19:22:00
They are out of their depth. I bet Rodgers hit the "Woof! "
😆😆😆.

02 Oct 2024 22:03:43
Villa beating Bayern Munich who'd of thought that a few years ago onwards and upwards a good owner in maranakis and we will be going the same way.

02 Oct 2024 23:30:39
Your right skeggs but villa went out after sacking Gerrard and went for one of the best coaches and he's delivered from day one.

03 Oct 2024 04:08:14
Best bit of business Villa did buying out Emery's contract at Villarreal. Gerrard was defiantly getting them relegated and they've never looked back since sacking him.

03 Oct 2024 09:15:04
Arsenal just a blip on his career, but like Spurs for Nuno?

03 Oct 2024 11:16:28
Makes you wonder if Arsenal would have won the premier already if they had stuck with Emery?. Like that he wears a shirt and tie on the touch line, must give an impression to the players "we are at work now".

03 Oct 2024 11:31:11
Absolutely Scouse. Spurs never gave him a chance 🎈.

03 Oct 2024 22:08:21
I have absolutely no idea what you're on about with your posts half the time Stokey - but I love them nonetheless! It's good to be back after my extended break from this site of 2 days.

02 Oct 2024 14:26:58
Hope lightening stricks twice at Stamford Bridge and we come away with something before international break (Again! ). Then three games that are all winnable, Palace, fester and west ham. Could be a defining time for Nuno?.

02 Oct 2024 14:57:06
Yes vespa there definitely games we need to be winning and I'm confident we will.

02 Oct 2024 23:24:08
We had three winnable games at home though didn't we?
Bournemouth, wolves and Fulham?

03 Oct 2024 13:49:13
I wouldn't of said Fulham, but Wolves and Bournemouth, yes we also had to very losable games Liverpool and Brighton swings and roundabouts. mid table all that's expected this season and we're very much on course for that.

02 Oct 2024 10:48:10
Can I just start with a big thank you to the guys on here for their kind words regarding my bad news. It means much.

I've been delighted with Nuno from day one and think he can be a great success with us. However a couple of chinks have started to show starting with the keeper. Faith in him seems to have gone too far. His positioning for the Brighton free kick was schoolboy stuff.

At home to Fulham the decision to not start with the threat on the wings was a strange one, let alone putting Awoniyi on with woods was simply bizarre. To not want to take the game to Fulham or have pace on the break baffled.

Ok no mgw but Yates can take that role for a couple of games. It's good to have a manager who can mix things up but please Nuno no more batty plans and lay off the refs we don't want this vein of complaint to dig us anymore.

02 Oct 2024 13:07:53
Good sensible post as usual Rutland keep your comments coming mate.

02 Oct 2024 13:43:28
Skegs Rutland has said pretty much what everyone else said, who disagree d with nunos team selection, and you said they were stupid comments because we were still 9 th in the league, so how come you now say they’re sensible?

02 Oct 2024 14:32:28
Great post Rutters welcome back 🎈.

02 Oct 2024 14:34:25
Stevie when did I say nuno done a good job against Fulham read my comments back Mr angry I will jump down my posts Rutlands comments are sensible because he's not slating the manager off and wanting him gone and going into a frenzy about the Fulham result that's a sensible comment maybe you should try it.

02 Oct 2024 15:24:26
Skegs well he is “ slating “ the manager for poor selection, ?

02 Oct 2024 19:12:30
That wasn't slating Stevie he was summing up what he thought nuno did wrong he didn't get angry about it he also put a good comment in there about nuno as I said before you read to much into peoples comments and blow them up to be something bigger than they are.

02 Oct 2024 19:29:52
Skeg he was saying what everyone who criticised Saturdays team selection also said, you need to take your own advice and read posts, I have said I didn’t want nuno sacked, you and your mate have no shame, especially your mate,

02 Oct 2024 19:54:25
We're going around roundabouts Stevie I didn't hear you give a good comment about nuno just all the bad as you see it and as I said and others can see from Rutlands comment it want what I call slating let's give this one a rest I'm getting bored with it as probably everyone else his.

02 Oct 2024 19:57:38
Skegs I've no desire to share a platform with your mate, you can have the site for me, I’m done with it for good,

02 Oct 2024 20:25:16
Nuno is carp. Only a total muppet would select the side who started against Fulham. It isn't just an error, it's complete stupidity.

If it was a side that was maybe good, or that some people might pick, it can be understandable. But I have not found ANYBODY - I mean nobody at all - who thought that was a good idea. Clownery at it's worst!

02 Oct 2024 21:53:10
Wow Stevie blaming my mate for you not being able to back your comments up his sad really like I said blowing things up out of proportion do a rogie have a few weeks away mate just cause we don't agree on everything wouldn't like to see you going for good.

03 Oct 2024 00:23:45
Stevie is a great bloke skeggs and you have to ask yourself why you and balloons just want to come on this site just to try and wind people up? Because that's all it's ever been about fir both of you.

Even when stokey puts something on it's straight to boring you. Yes, you might think you're funny? But are you? Fine margins.

Supposed to be about football and the cl6b called forest? Tbh you were far better till you met balloons. Like you said in an earlier post that you two had arguments before you met.

Well not everyone is meeting up and some can't in fact most probably can't
To me I've met some great people from this site, but there's a downside to it. For me it creates a clicky scenario.

The people I've met will always stay with me and I'm not going to mention names, but I believe it's not been good for the site overall. My advice would be leave it to being a site where you don't have any other contact than your user name.

It might seem a good idea but is it? Best to imagine sometimes?

03 Oct 2024 06:56:56
Dtp not everything on this site as been about forest you've just pointed out Stokey with his jokes. its nothing personal to Stokey I just don't like jokes and comedians I find them boring has for Stevie I can't comment on the bloke I've never met him I've met balloons and he's a great bloke like you say about Stevie and as for me winding people up I don't do it all the time but i'm like that in every day life.

I'm like it with all my family friends and even people I've met for the first time and nobody I've met as a problem with me that's just who I am did I wind Rutland up with his comment yesterday no I agreed with some of his comments on nuno like I do others that give a good opinion from both sides of nunos game hence a was good at this and bad at that not going straight in slating him.

I don't care if nuno gets sacked tomorrow as long as we have a better replacement a manager is just a manager and i also enjoy meeting people on this site they get to see tge real me which his no different to how I am on this site now i'm doing a stokey post 🤣🤣.

{Ed001's Note - instead of making nasty comments about them being boring skip the posts you don't like then. Nothing more tedious than people who feel the need to ruin it for everyone else. Stokey's jokes at least are much funnier than repetitive tedium about Coronation St or just repeating 'we hate thatcher' over and over.}

03 Oct 2024 07:00:17
first time I agree with you dtp the site is infected by the clicky mentality.

03 Oct 2024 10:54:12
Oh, forgot to say, I'm 💯 behind the we hate Thatcher posts.

03 Oct 2024 10:26:24
I expect 95% of people on the site are sound as a pound in real life. I don't mind at all that some of them can't help being wrong a lot.

The best advice - which applies to any forum, social media and whatnot - is to attack what people are saying if you don't agree with them. Play the ball, not the man. Personal attacks (banter notwithstanding) are just completely unnecessary and create a strange atmosphere.

Pensioners and middle-aged men who barely know each other tearing chunks out of one another is weird. Think about it. It is, dare I say it, more like how women in an office or kids in a playground behave. I should know, I've had to work in both environments.

I hope none of you are actual women now and going to accuse me of misogyny. I love women, especially when they are quiet! 😆.

03 Oct 2024 11:02:53
Excellently put DTP. Sums Skegs and his mate up perfectly.
Thank you Ed 001. It's good to see a complete neutral sees things how boring they really are.

03 Oct 2024 11:34:50
Cyclist. I agree, disagree with a post by all means and then back up your opinions. That is exactly what Stevie F has been doing with Skegs. Skegs just throws insults around.
Now Stevie ( a great poster) has gone and we are left with what? Not much I'd say in this particular case.

03 Oct 2024 11:42:38
Hey don’t worry about me lads. With thirty years of front line policing under my belt as you can probably imagine I’ve been abused and insulted by professionals at it …😁😁

it’s water off a ducks back to me. I tend to put 'jokes' on when it’s either quiet (ie international breaks or to lighten the mood when things get a bit 'overwrought' shall we say.

Skegs, mate, your post is in no way a "Stokey post" as I tend to use the occasional full stop. (only joking no offence intended. 😔💤🥰.

03 Oct 2024 07:31:59
Fare enough ed1 can't remember them being nasty to Stokey but no problem.

{Ed001's Note - if you don't think constantly calling someone boring is being nasty then you have a problem. Once or twice is banter, but all the time is just bullying.}

03 Oct 2024 16:25:58
Once again Ed. Well said.

03 Oct 2024 16:33:47
You've never offended me and I apologise if for some reason I've offended or as Ed said been nasty to you, which I can't remember doing and the usual suspects have turned up again to make a mountain out of a molehill, cheers Stokey.

03 Oct 2024 22:23:16
Whilst I thoroughly and deeply appreciate the concerns regarding bullying etc. from Ed1, Gazzi, DTP and others, may I take this opportunity to (firstly) thank you for this and secondly to reassure Skegs that I am in no way offended or upset.

This is unique to me personally and I can’t speak for others on here. Everyone is different (thank God). Some are vulnerable to put downs and wind ups in terms of feeling anger, depression and stress, which we should all bear in mind.

Speaking for myself, I don’t take things too seriously and if I can get people laughing, that’s a result in my book. I have never intentionally aimed to get a laugh at anyone’s expense and I would be the first to apologise if I did.

As the Taoist philosophers say, people will mostly act according to their nature. Some people are laid back, some see themselves as hammers in a world of nails. It all pans out in the end.

It’s a waste of time to blame vinegar for tasting sour and sugar for being too sweet. It’s the nature of vinegar and sugar. Likewise human beings.
Boring but true imo …. 💤💤👍🤔.

03 Oct 2024 22:51:00
Cheers Stokey in no way I meant to offend you put you down or be nasty to you if it was at a bar or in person I'm sure you would be having a laugh with me about it maybe I should try and rethink how it sounds in messages which would be hard because as I said it's just me but I will try and stop and think B4 I post to you and thanks for your long response I was struggling to sleep 🤣🤣 just a joke 😁.

01 Oct 2024 22:56:08
In the words of Vinnie Jones - 'it's been emotional'. I'm closing my account now. I wish you all well.

Please delete my account Ed - there doesn't seem to be a link on My Profile to do this. Many thanks. Al.

01 Oct 2024 23:31:54
Legless don't
Rise above it and show the same will power that got you to the top of the mountain
I've not got you down as a quitter and you've faced far worst challenges than balloons in your life
Think about that and keep fighting and making lives better with your charity work xx.

01 Oct 2024 23:38:41
Sad to see you go under these circumstances mate, all the best,

02 Oct 2024 06:32:23
Seriously Legless, don't go mate. just give
Yourself a break from him. we're your mates on here.

02 Oct 2024 06:34:04
I'm 59 Legless, Bowie, and I, and I think another poster share the same birthday.

02 Oct 2024 08:53:28
That's a shame legless balloons his a good bloke if you met him off site for a pint you would probably get on like a house on fire some things come out wrong on texting as we've all done on this site B4 I met balloons in person we would argue on here he's called me a alcoholic on here and when we met up for a drink he found out he was right, 🤣🤣 and dtp and Stevie stop the stirring you 2 definitely ain't no angels the way you've commented to some posters.

02 Oct 2024 09:18:07
Legless, I’ll PM you mate but in the meantime I urge you not to leave this site. Have a breather then go again. You are the man who has been through and survived events that most of us on here can’t begin to imagine and your experience and knowledge makes you a foundation stone which we will all miss.

02 Oct 2024 09:21:24
Can only echo the above posts Legless. You’ve gained a lot of respect on here bud! We’ve all had time away from this site I think! Take a break for a bit, then get yourself back on here! Or to put it another way ‘Do A Rogie’!

02 Oct 2024 09:55:36
LeglessRed, just have a international break, and come back on again and post. You was hoping to come to a game at the City Ground, I'm sure many posters would like to meet you, and shake your hand. If you don't post again, good luck for the future 👍👍.
Last thing, I'm not a old fogey you cheeky bugger🙂🙂.

02 Oct 2024 09:59:21
Skegs, don’t try and pin the blame for your mates disgusting remarks on anyone else, if he had any honour he’d come on and apologize, but not holding my breath on that one, why does he need you to do his talking for him, I never said I was a Angel, but I would draw the line at criticizing a bloke who’s had life changing problems, doing a bit of good for other people, problem with your mate is, he loves to dish out banter, but can’t take it, calls me a chav, for living in Clifton, now I’m a toff for living in Bridgford, yet when somebody points out his lifestyle might not be very healthy, he gets all upset and says” you know nothing about me” well he know f*** all about me, but it doesn’t stop him mouthing, he’s in the wrong big time here no one else, so stop deflecting the blame for his dispicable comments to other people,

02 Oct 2024 10:36:56
Legless. That is so sad mate. The comments you received from Balloons were disgraceful and it would be great if it was you who were staying on the site.
It's not right!

02 Oct 2024 12:27:54
He’s not the only one on here who makes unsubstantiated remarks about other posters on here.
One or two who like to dish it out but not so good at receiving.
CARLO.
