Happy Easter reds, luv ya all.
No, seriously. Love all the rants. Heads up etc etc. I admire our away fans more than our home fans why? Because they went through years of sh#t without returns and were louder than any other crowd for me. Just proud of em.
Still proud obviously of the wfcg. The amazing acoustic voices only stay in the old stadiums.
Try the toon, binoculars for games and Saudis as owners (clueless on football) blood money.
Be proud reds. Don't get me wrong, I sat up all day yesterday waiting for Clough / Taylor's resurrections but hey will try next year.
Bring your kids up to believe the game in spirit. Not just the money.
All I ask. Again happy Easter reds.
05 Apr 2026 09:35:41
Maybe we can be in a situation next season When. We stay up and if we win the Europa Cup that we can keep all our top players.
Anderson is nailed on to start in USA. Murrilo is in the Brazil team and MGW can still make the England squad as Foden Palmer and Rogers are way out of form at 10 atm.
If we do sell Anderson, I agree with the posters on here jet it be Newcastle for 60m plus Elanga coming the other way and Harner as a replacement.
Murrilo and MGW would be a much greater loss imo and more difficult to replace as McAtee and Cunha are not as good.
05 Apr 2026 10:25:11
Garner not Hamer.
05 Apr 2026 12:27:10
I think all three will have to go to balance the books. They should generate around 200mil collectively, so there should be enough left over to buy one, perhaps two replacements. Don't see the Everton lad coming our way, he just signed a new contract and is playing good football under Moyes.
05 Apr 2026 15:03:26
I don't understand Marinakis. When he came on board at Nottingham Forest, he said he'd like us to be a top six club. So why does he want to sell all the best players? You've got to build your team around your best players. Otherwise we're going to be a selling club and we'll be in the same position all the time.
05 Apr 2026 15:22:38
I don't think we'll ever be a Top Six club, mate.
As much as I'd like that to happen, mate, we don't have the ground capacity that the others have, or the referees on our side either.
05 Apr 2026 15:23:40
Don't think he wants to sell our best players, it's been poor judgement over who's been brought in. We've seen countless players come in for big money and wages who are Championship players at best.
That money has to be accounted for, and the FA and Premier League couldn't care less if they are any good, it's all about the bottom line. Unfortunately, Forest have always been a selling club.
05 Apr 2026 16:01:55
Just watched BBC trigger telling us about Hurricane Dave. 🫢
05 Apr 2026 16:46:00
"Bit of Classical music on Dave???".
🤣
05 Apr 2026 16:53:13
There'll be no excuse when we get our new capacity to 53 thousand, then. We'll be a top 6 side then, just like Villa, whose ground is 43 thousand.
05 Apr 2026 17:07:29
Fair point, mate.
05 Apr 2026 18:36:12
Wouldn't hold your breath, Titanic. Work was supposed to start in four weeks' time, except the planning application hadn't even been heard yet. Perhaps they meant May 2027.

05 Apr 2026 12:16:45
I'd love Garner to return, but he'll probably be around £70 million. I'd like to go and get Wilson from Fulham.
05 Apr 2026 16:24:18
I believe Wilson is going to be available on a free transfer. Talk about him going to Liverpool next season. Not too sure about that, as I don't think he fits their criteria and mould. They like to splash the cash, then crow about it, just like the chap they bought from Newcastle.
05 Apr 2026 16:53:21
Titanic, I actually couldn't agree with ya more on Wilson (I'm normally suspect of who you used to be). But yeah, I think Wilson. No game changer, but a team player. Everything I look for.
04 Apr 2026 12346:28
If we get 100 million for anderson i'd like to sell li like to sell him back to Newcastle for for £60 m £60 million and get Ellanga back
05 Apr 2026 09:17:05
If we sell Sels, why not go and get Rofes from Sunderland, a top young goal keeper.
04 Apr 2026 23:39:16
I'd like with the money from anderson i'd like to sell back to Newcastle for £60 million and get eellanga back in part exchange
04 Apr 2026 18:01:48
Two players I would like Forest to sign, when we get £100 for Anderson. Harvey Elliot and Quanash (apologies for spelling). Both ex England 21 cup winners. Get Elliot’s career going again and bring back the centre back who was initially picked in this current England squad; both ex Liverpool.
04 Apr 2026 18:48:44
Definitely agree with Quansah. Not sure on Elliott. He'd be a good signing if MGW moved on. I don't think he's quick enough for what we'd want on the wing, so, as a back up to MGW, he'd be pricey.
04 Apr 2026 19:12:16
If we get £100. Million for Anderson, we should sell him back to Newcastle and get Ellanga in part exchange.
04 Apr 2026 19:56:09
Good shout, mate.
04 Apr 2026 21:57:22
Well done, Saints!!!!
Just brilliant!!!!
03 Apr 2026 18:14:18
Anyway, here’s my Easter joke. If you are a good Catholic, scroll past. If you are a lapsed Catholic, like me, read on...
So, a coach load of nuns out on an Easter trip crashes and explodes, killing all onboard. A few seconds later, St Peter is sitting quietly by the Pearly Gates when the surprised and deceased nuns turn up, seeking admission to Heaven.
St Peter orders them all to line up and calls the first one forward.
“Sister Margaret, have you any sins to confess before you are allowed in?” he asks.
“Well,” she says. “I did once think about a man’s private parts.”
St Peter says, “As you only thought about them, sprinkle your forehead with Holy Water and you are absolved of your sins,” which she does and enters unto Heaven.
St Peter asks the same question of the next nun in line, and Sister Anne says, “I did once see a man’s private parts.” Slightly discomfited, St Peter tells her, as she has only seen a man’s private parts, to wash her eyes with Holy Water and thereby cleanse herself of her sin.
Which she does and enters into Heaven.
The next nun, Sister Ellen, is asked the same question. “Well, I confess that I did once touch a man’s private parts.”
Shocked, St Peter says, “Well, that’s more serious. However, as you only touched a man’s private parts, you may wash your hands thoroughly in Holy Water to cleanse your sins,” which she does and enters into Heaven.
Suddenly there is a commotion in the queue and Sister Tracey bustles forward to the front.
St Peter says, “What is it, Sister Tracey?”
Sister Tracey says, “I wonder if I can gargle the Holy Water before Sister Sharon has to wash her ar”e in it?” 😂😂😂😂.

As always, Stokey.
04 Apr 2026 15:21:25
I have one about St. Peter at the Holy Gates. He is stood there when suddenly from the earth below comes a great explosion.
A poloni factory had blown up in Italy and a massive 18 inch poloni landed at the Saint's feet.
Pete asks around and no-one can say what it is.
Someone shouts out "I know, let's ask Mary, she'll have an idea of what it is."
Mary is thus called forth and Peter hands it to her"What do you make of that, Mary" he says.
She holds it and looks at it from all angles, and feels it thoroughy.
Eventually she says "I don't know. But if it wasn't tied at both ends I'd say it was The Holy Ghost!"
(Apologies to Catholics)

Brief Encounter "You know what's happened, don't you? I've fallen in love with you." Bern to Carnforth Railway Station. Much changed, only the clock survived. Crucially, a remote place near Lancaster, out of German bomber range in 1945 to accommodate the film lighting.
Casablanca "I remember Paris, you wore blue, the Germans wore grey..."
"Round up the usual suspects."
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns, in all the world, you walk into mine..."
In Which We Serve First Officer "Good morning, sir. A lovely sky. It reminds me of a picture on a calendar someone sent me at Christmas."
Captain Kinross (Noel Coward) "Was there a squadron of Dornier bombers in the top right hand corner, Number 1?"
"No sir."
Captain "Well, that's where art parts company with reality..."
"Come on in, Jerry, the water's loverly."
The Outlaw Josey Wales "Dying ain't much of a living, boy."
Or any Dirty Harry "Well, do ya feel lucky, punk?"
The Godfather Trilogy "Make them an offer they can't refuse." I've done the Godfather tour in Sicily and had a cold and welcome glass of beer at Vitelli's Bar.
Zulu "Front crank, FIRE, second rank 'FIRE!'"
"Independent fire at will..."
"The Zulus can run 15 miles and still fight a battle at the end of it."
"Well, that's daft, isn't it? Who would ever run to a battle?"
05 Apr 2026 16:31:02
I loved the Welsh singing men of Harlech, Stokey. I'm sure we've had this conversation before. 🤣
05 Apr 2026 18:54:26
Perhaps we have Bowie. Private Owen, who leads the singing, is played by Ivor Emmanuel, the great Welsh tenor.
Did I mention that 70 plus per cent of the South Wales Borderers detachment at Rorkes Drift were Brummies. So, they should have been singing "Funky Moped", perhaps. 😂😂😂
03 Apr 2026 09:31:33
All this tapping up and blatant attempts to unsettle key players at an important stage of the season is totally unprofessional and must stop.
Morgan Roger’s is the latest to say he’s open to leave Villa for quote a big club.
Villa are a big club 4th in the league and like us in with a chance of winning the Europa League.
Take a tip from Grealish, he went to City and bitterly regretted it from a playing point of view.
03 Apr 2026 14:11:48
Just watched "Murillo, A Day in the Life Of"...
What a truly humble, grateful, and appreciative human being he is.
Adores his wife and daughter, his English is incredible too.
Always has a smile, and a really nice way about him.
If he does leave us, I for one certainly wouldn't hold it against him. Well done on what you have achieved with us so far, mate, we are so lucky to have not only a player, but someone like him!!!
03 Apr 2026 14:19:31
Top player, I hope we can keep him next season. If we win the Europa League, I think we can.
03 Apr 2026 15:12:12
Be brilliant if we could mate...
03 Apr 2026 15:14:28
If he leaves, he'll be a Judas, just like Elanga & Johnson, who were both dragged from nowhere & failing careers, and brought back to the limelight. That's gratitude for ya.
03 Apr 2026 15:50:08
Not biting Larry, not today!
03 Apr 2026 16:58:15
Speaking of judas got one of my top 3 x films on today. As it's good Friday. Life of brian. Could almost tell ya word for word. Btw I'm up for stoning end of season.

What about "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" in the brilliant Crucifixion scene at the end! The best sentiment to live your life by. You can see why it's a funeral favourite!
"When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle"...
"What have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
You're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!"

02 Apr 2026 20:08:01
Looking at the ticket prices for the upcoming World Cup, it's an absolute joke. Who in their right mind would pay 11k for a seat at the final? Even if I was a millionaire I wouldn't even consider that. Talk about sucking the heart out of the joy for supporters.
I really hope it comes back to bite them in the backside and the stadiums are empty. Also read somewhere that parking fees for the games are upward of 750 squid. 🌳
02 Apr 2026 20:42:38
It won't come back to bite them.
03 Apr 2026 14:21:13
Like to elaborate, Ff? I'd like to read your take on it.
03 Apr 2026 15:15:37
Hartlepool wages won't get you there that's a fact. 😂
