Look, just to put everyone at ease. We'll beat Sheff Utd, beat Chelsea and draw at Burnley. That'll be enough. Don't worry.
01 May 2024 16:18:11
Yes been saying that for a while Who Knows mate. Sheff Utd will have nothing to play for, Chelsea on the beach and Burnley won’t pick up another point before they play us.
01 May 2024 15:50:17
Yates got to be nailed on for Sheffield on Sat.
CARLO.
01 May 2024 16:19:17
Agreed Carlo. Sheff Utd should be the sort of feisty scrap he enjoys mate! 👍👍.
01 May 2024 15:28:40
Don't know about you lot but waiting for the result of our appeal is as nerve wracking as waiting outside Crown Court to give evidence! 😳😳🫣🫣
I'm going to try and put it out of my mind by going to the New Vic Theatre Newcastle under Lyme tonight with my gorgeous wife to see "One Man two Governors", a comedy farce based on the original ""The Servant with 2 Masters" by Carlo Goldoni, the Italian playwright written in 1743. Should be a great laugh and a good distraction and looking forward immensely to it (but more to a 2 points ( or more) deduction! 😂😁.
01 May 2024 15:38:03
Not as nerve racking as waiting in the box at crown Court for your verdict
Allegedly.
01 May 2024 15:58:07
Just hoping the longer it goes on the more chance of them giving some back.
01 May 2024 14:07:43
No time or place for faint hearts on Saturday at Bramall Lane
Always a tough place to visit Local Derby no love lost between the fans and teams we need to pick a team for 60 minutes and use good subs for the final 30 when we've won the right to play
Sels
Obamadele
Boly
Murrilo
Aina
Yates
Danilo
Toffelo
Elanga
MGW
Wood
Subs
Turner
Dominguez
Sangare
Awoniyi
Tavares
Riberio
Origi
Niakhate.
01 May 2024 16:24:55
Obamadele and Murrilo both disappoint when they play together - we look very weak at the back when it’s those two. Probs be good players in an alternative partnership but shouldn’t both play?
01 May 2024 10:55:35
Just listened to Howard Webb try and justify the non-penalty awards against Forest v Everton. In it he mentioned how they've upped the threshold on contact in the box. Really? What happened to the threshold when Rashford was awarded a penalty then against us for absolutely minimal contact in the area? Me thinks he was talking absolute cow droppings.
01 May 2024 10:09:15
Unfortunately Legless some are playing to their full potential, they're just not good enough for the Premier League and scouted by an incompetent bunch of amateurs.
30 Apr 2024 22:56:24
I would love it if our club stopped whingeing and our players started playing to their full potential. A pipe-dream? I hope not.
01 May 2024 06:15:00
Most of the players are playing to their full potential, Legless, as most of them are championship level.
01 May 2024 11:08:32
Rubbish most are internationals
It's more the case of the coaching staff not being able to find the right blend and forming a team.
30 Apr 2024 17:33:27
Will Anthony Taylor make any balls ups tonight?
CARLO.
30 Apr 2024 19:39:10
Well according to Howard Webb we should've had ONE pen against Everton
Listen to the VAR audio and anthony taylor his adamant NO CONTACT PLAYED THE BALL a few times the VAR guy got pressure from his boss and bottled telling him
But we all knew that anyway hence the club statement
A lot less fuss over the admitting of a mistake compared to the fuss about said statement!
And then anthony taylor does that in west ham v scouse game and its like nothings happened Where's accountability for their errors
Beggars belief.
30 Apr 2024 19:40:27
Carlo, it’s like asking is the Pope a Catholic mate! 😂😂😂😂.
30 Apr 2024 20:25:47
Seems Captain Web has accepted we should have had at least 1 penalty against Everton but blamed the referee and Var for being Human and Human s are prone to Mistakes so get rid of VAR then we will only have 1 mistake plus when Our owner went on X well he's only Human and when we failed FFP WELL THE ACCOUNTANT IS ONLY HUMAN!
30 Apr 2024 21:04:30
Had to have a wry smile at Howard Webb's comment that officials are all human beings! Well, they are all human beings in rugby league and union plus cricket but they don’t have a fraction of the errors and cock ups with technology that the football refs do!
Mind you the level of respect and dissent towards football refs is disgraceful compared with other sports.
30 Apr 2024 21:41:28
What good is all this to us now?
30 Apr 2024 21:45:46
Like that jester and very true.
30 Apr 2024 22:30:02
Totally agree with you again Stokey. You actually talk a lot of sense for a burnt-out ex Copper (! ). Keep it up mate.
01 May 2024 06:19:33
Webb said that the first 2 were subjective. So the rules are open to interpretation by the individual and bias can and sometimes will come into the decision making process. But, apparently, VAR is better for the game.
01 May 2024 09:06:10
Jester brilliant post,
01 May 2024 10:49:05
Many thanks for your words Legless, mate, which managed to be, simultaneously, kind, rude and entirely accurate! 😂😂😂
I was more than ever convinced that my decision to retire was correct after watching the footage of the tragic sword attack in London yesterday. It would have been very difficult to achieve any sort of a hit with my taser whilst having a heart attack which I probably would have.
By the way, incredible heroism and bravery on the part of the arresting Metpol officers, particularly the young slip of a Policewoman who took the maniac down with her taser. Also my best wishes for the full recovery of those Police Officers who sustained horrendous injuries and any members of the Public similarly affected. 👏🏻👏🏻🤞🤞😔😔.
01 May 2024 10:53:57
Whilst we are in Howard Webb ( and I hate to disparage a fellow ex Police Officer) perhaps he could have prevented a lot of unnecessary grief by quietly replacing Stuart Atwell on VAR when his Luton connection was revealed? It’s basic common sense really ….
01 May 2024 15:47:20
It’s in the FA guidelines Stokey
Declaring a conflict of interest.
However these don’t apply to Forest matches apparently.
I’ve also read a great article on the charges concerning Man City. The fact that the problem has been ongoing for several years and the fact they have avoided any hearing up to now is, to me, more evidence of corruption.
The irony of City fans chanting you cheating b……s on Sunday would be funny if it wasn’t serious.
It feels we’re unwanted.
They love to shoot the messenger for saying some
Inconvenient truths.
I do hope we’re still in the Prem next season
And Forza put up a massive two fingered display in the Trent End.
30 Apr 2024 13:49:22
I see there are many posts on here criticising Nuno for his perceived lack of passion, comparing him unfavourably with SC. I think this is unfair. When you think about the Master, Cloughie, it was very rare for him to jump out of the dug out. But when he did it had maximum effect. He spent most games sitting down, analysing, talking to his Assistant ( Taylor, Fenton etc). He certainly never patrolled the touchline and behaved like the drama queens of today. The greatest England manager Sir Alf hardly raised an eyebrow back in the day.
By the way, can anybody tell me what the role of the 4th official is, apart from to get earache every game from opposing coaches?
30 Apr 2024 14:33:00
4th official is now used to keep the opposing coaches apart.
Coaches being animated on the touchline doesn't necessarily mean they care. Conversely, not being animated doesn't necessarily mean they don't care. Some people, however, think that it means exactly the opposite. It doesn't matter to me if the coach is jumping up and down, sitting down or just standing in one place. It means absolutely nothing at all.
30 Apr 2024 15:08:35
Not many people in the ticket office this morning, so much for record sales.
30 Apr 2024 15:39:14
Our leading coaches think that abusing the 4 th official and intimidating him will get the ref on side, they should be red carded and fined, their behaviour is totally unacceptable but according to Arteta they will continue to do.
CARLO.
30 Apr 2024 15:44:09
Thanks Derby. Why don’t they just remove the 4th official, let the coaching teams at each other then sell tickets? 😂😂😂.
30 Apr 2024 16:39:46
Red vale think 90% of business is done online these days, only dinosaurs like me use the ticket office 😊.
30 Apr 2024 17:44:03
See Richards putting his Tuppence worth in. must need another £300 haircut you ask me.
30 Apr 2024 19:26:55
Spot on Steve all 4 who were there were OAPs. But I did see the forest ladies having a walk about. I did mention to the office lad that was half of my pension gone on my ticket, he just looked straight through me, think he's heard it all before.
01 May 2024 00:09:49
I'm a human. I see when another human cares.
30 Apr 2024 09:21:08
I've read with interest the posts on here, I thought we played really well Sunday til the 2nd goal killed us off, a reproduction of that performance at bramall lane would get 3 points, but we all know we won't get a performance like that away from the city ground, and that has been our main problem since being promoted, our away form is utterly pathetic, I think it's 3 away wins in 2seasons, , and neither manager has looked like solving that problem, it puts so much pressure on our home results, to the point where we HAVE to be getting points against the big clubs to survive, and if we manage to survive, unless this problem is solved, next season will be another struggle,
30 Apr 2024 10:29:41
Good post Stevie.
30 Apr 2024 14:34:14
Totally agree, Stevie.
30 Apr 2024 17:32:45
Totally agree Steve. I feel it’s inevitable that we will struggle against Sheffield United- it’s like it’s in the DNA of this team.
Poor coaching and lack of positive mental attitude in my opinion as we do have some good players.
30 Apr 2024 20:00:32
Very good point about our away-form Stevie Bootneck. When you look at it statistically like that it is very worrying. However, hope springs eternal again in the Legless camp here! Personally, I think we'll demolish the Blades on Saturday.
30 Apr 2024 20:09:45
Don't forget to bring the humble pie with you after the game redfrog.
30 Apr 2024 21:22:39
I hope I will Skegs - truly I do. But your messiah Nuno Dispiriting Santo is in charge and we all know what a gormless melt he is. In Nuno we rust.
30 Apr 2024 21:56:58
It's a must win and no excuse not to win, first thing is nuno got get team selection right and tactics, that's my worry.
30 Apr 2024 22:14:26
🤣🤣🤣 frog I don't have a Messiah like some of you did my Messiah his forest not a manager unlike some on here 🙄😂🤣.
30 Apr 2024 22:32:43
His 🤣🤣👏.
30 Apr 2024 23:15:42
You ok DTP or you in the middle of watching a rerun of cooper doing fist pumps from a long time ago while playing ub40 🤣😂.
01 May 2024 05:49:44
Skegs it was time for Cooper to go. But he was twice the manager that Nuno is and some more. The players were honest although the tactics weren’t the best.
Now we have players hiding, set piece problems and still a lack of identity and style.
BTW, and I haven’t looked at this, but it would be interesting to compare the premier league stats of both managers.
01 May 2024 08:57:46
Red frog don't know who you was watching at the time but only now we have a set piece problem 🤣🤣🤣.
01 May 2024 09:27:13
It’s got worse Skegs - and I’m not exaggerating.
30 Apr 2024 09:20:23
If we get relegated who would stay in your opinion to fight it out in the championship
My list is below
Yates
Obamadele
Williams
Aina
Dominguez
Aguilera
OBrien
Turner
Dale Taylor
Worrall
Panzo
Mbe Soh
Boly
Go
Awoniyi
CHO
Elanga
Wood
Sangare
Danilo
Murrilo
Gibbs White
Niakhate.
30 Apr 2024 09:24:28
Bowler?
30 Apr 2024 13:15:12
I'd like to see wood Cho and elanga stop with us. With the any spare cash I'd go for Spence, spurs want shot of him, he do a job if Williams or elanga left.
30 Apr 2024 13:31:54
I think if you’re want to do a Leicester and bounce straight back you have to keep Murillo, MGW, Elanga and CHO. But finances will dictate recruitment and retention. Anyway, I’m confident we will survive, 100% mate!
30 Apr 2024 14:24:54
Also Omar Richards to come back.
30 Apr 2024 17:14:02
Omar WHO? Stevie.
30 Apr 2024 17:38:20
More chance of "Omar" Shariff making a comeback lol!
30 Apr 2024 17:42:59
Omar who? 🤣.
01 May 2024 09:10:12
😂I get the scepticism. But a fit Omar Richards playing how he did at reading would be top notch in the championship.
30 Apr 2024 08:53:47
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, West Ham United v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective
30 Apr 2024 10:50:16
Another interesting read Ed1 mate. As far as Anthony Taylor is concerned, absolutely ludicrous reffing. Welcome to our world…….
I once sat a Geography A level where a very clever examiner set the question ( from a quote from AA Milne of Winnie the Pooh fame) “Nobody knows, where the wind comes from, or where the wind goes”. Discuss! I worked out, correctly, that the answer was to test knowledge of world wind belts and climate.
The other day I saw a scurrilous and rather cruel quote on another site about Liverpool……
Built by Shanks
Bought by Yanks
Owned by Banks
And laughed at by Mancs
Discuss?
{Ed001's Note - Anthony Taylor has cost Liverpool many times mate, still find it difficult to understand how a Mancunian can be allowed to referee a game involving a team from Manchester or Liverpool. And we are used to ludicrous reffing - just look back at that Spurs game when the goal was disallowed even though they knew it should have stood.}
29 Apr 2024 19:51:34
If we survive can we keep Awomyi ans our main striker?
Do we need someone who can play at least 30 or more games in a season.
If we could get a reasonable fe is it time to replace him?
CARLO.
29 Apr 2024 22:41:39
Get rid for me. Shocking fitness issues.
29 Apr 2024 23:02:53
Remember Kevin Campbell 2 star?
Three seasons of being injured then was dynamite
I'd say part ways but good player when fit.
30 Apr 2024 07:05:43
Awoniyi is a great player for us when fit. Sadly he is mostly injured- a curse that has played out through the last 20 years or so at Forest.
30 Apr 2024 08:35:12
Let him go. Made of glass.
30 Apr 2024 08:47:08
We soon complain when players show no loyalty, however we would like the club to get rid of a player that gives 100% for the cause.
Let’s hope his injuries are behind him and he can become a great player for us.
I still think we rushed him back to play when a bit longer recovery would have been the better option.
30 Apr 2024 09:21:19
Pineapple mate. He gives 100% when he plays I agree mate.
Unfortunately that's only about 20% of the matches.
Appallingly bad injury record.
30 Apr 2024 18:42:09
He’s made out of biscuit can’t rely on him sell him move on!
30 Apr 2024 22:35:29
Sounds like from what your all saying balloons was right all along about him the smiling assassin 🤣.
