Nottingham Forest banter 10

12 Jan 2026 18:06:40
Mvred, I remember staying in Mansfield for the sheep game (controversial on here 🤣🤣) jolly the punks idea. Bridleways guest house. I do away trips a lot me and my mate or the yank. And I loved that place. Area nice as well. Breakfast 2nd to none, salmon and poached eggs. Very nice 😇 and amazing weekend 👍 jolly still doing well btw bless him.

12 Jan 2026 19:07:00
Think I've said before on here, on my drive back I passed a colliery. Just an amazing hit in the face for me, like a piece of art. Yet haunted. You know when ya can see the hard working lives and controversial history.

Was like BANG straight in the face. Quite emotional actually. I dunno, I know I know lot of ya think I'm losing it. Just weird though.

12 Jan 2026 20:01:07
You're not loosing it Bowie I know just how you feel, I was over in Scunthorpe a while ago and passed the steel works. My wife wondered why I pulled up outside so I told her that back in the early seventies I was working as a plater welder at a big engineering workshop in lowdham, we built most of that steel works.

quite strange looking at something that I had a hand in still standing. mind you probably be the death of me after all that asbestos we inhaled, but still good to see it.

12 Jan 2026 21:11:46
Thanks vale bud. Great reply 👍.

13 Jan 2026 00:09:15
Bowie, it was probably Clipstone Colliery headstocks you saw. The pit shut years ago but they're still there, standing proud. There must of been easily ten coal mines in the mansfield area, a thriving town, money in your pocket good times.

Replaced by minimum wage warehouses. Anyway, heading towards politics, so I'll leave that.
Good to hear Jolly is ok, i don't think there has ever been a bloke banned and reinstated more times than him on this site.

13 Jan 2026 01:06:44
Thank you for that mvred bud, and yeah he was a legend jolly 👍.

13 Jan 2026 10:27:33
Coincidence MV? I was born in Mansfield and I spent a grumpy adolescence looking out of my bedroom window at Forest Town or Crown Farm slag heap, as I called it. Looked like Everest when the snow fell! Golf Course nearby as well I think.

13 Jan 2026 16:06:05
Pit tip not there anymore Norfolk, it got took away years ago. It did look like a ski slope, very strange shape. You never know we both might of been in Clippo welfare on a Sunday night, back in the day.

13 Jan 2026 19:12:15
Went to the welfare at Forest Town on a Thursday to watch bands. Could have been '75/ 6 MV!

13 Jan 2026 19:44:43
Life evolves
For all the good things back in the day a lot of workers are now suffering ill health because of it
Pits, power stations?
Remember the smog and the deep fogs because of it
I remember boots factory by the canalside pumping shite out where nothing could survive
The best thing about it was the community spirit and the working men's clubs to keep us happy
There wasn't job satisfaction, just a wage and danger
You look at all the buitiful buildings and railways built before and during the victorian age that still stand?
Many more have been bulldozed in the name of modernisation, broadmarsh has been rebuilt and then knocked down in my lifetime, which is an appalling assessment of 70s architecture, along with balloon woods
End of the day we've learned and fog only comes naturally now off the rivers when the temperature dictates
I always look forward as the past has gone, but you have to hang onto the memories as they are priceless.

14 Jan 2026 09:45:13
Nice post DTP.

12 Jan 2026 15:21:28
If anyone wants to put a smile on their faces take a look at the fans opinions of Palaces performance on the beeb website, its hilarious. 🌳.

12 Jan 2026 13:34:09
Don, t know what the loan terms are but I, d get Jota back, his aggressive style would be very welcome at present.
CARLO.

12 Jan 2026 14:10:47
Carlo, Jota was rubbish mate, another rubbish signing who wasn’t good enough. If we think Jota is the answer we really are in trouble - which we are by the way ….

12 Jan 2026 14:13:27
Yes, I always liked Jota Carlo. He always put a shift in and was combative. Certainly a good Europa squad player and a good option on the bench.

12 Jan 2026 15:14:45
Have to agree with 2 Stars. he was knocked off the ball too easily, from what I seen.
Just my opinion.

12 Jan 2026 16:07:49
Jota or Ndoye?
Jota for me anytime.
CARLO.

12 Jan 2026 17:45:01
He always gave 100% every opportunity he got and I really wanted him to do well, but bit he was a bit of a headless chicken most of the time.
He also reminded me of Burt from Sesame Street with the mono brow:)

12 Jan 2026 18:19:14
Carlo.
Jota over Ndoye. As appalling as the answer is it’s Jota over Ndoye as we stand today.

12 Jan 2026 18:27:04
🤣🤣🤣 ginger 👍.

12 Jan 2026 18:40:11
Uni brow ginger 👍.

12 Jan 2026 19:08:47
His eyebrows were always offside too!
🤭🤭🤭.

13 Jan 2026 09:59:28
Well, as his eyebrows are in line Rogie i'd say he had a good chance of staying onside mate……😂😂😂🤔🤔.

12 Jan 2026 12:36:00
It's all gone quiet on incomings and outgoings. Cuiabano not even mentioned anywhere.

12 Jan 2026 15:47:03
Yes where is Cuiabano.

12 Jan 2026 17:29:23
Brazil or Greece?

12 Jan 2026 20:47:15
On way to Olympiacas they will cover is wages till next season.

13 Jan 2026 12:07:18
He might be on holiday as the Brazilian league runs from March till December.

12 Jan 2026 12:31:24
I would go for someone like Tammy Abraham if available- good with his head and would fit in well with Dyche’s obsession of lumping it in the box. But agree with some of the posts below- we desperately need a clear out. Top of the list Taiwo Morato and McAtee.

12 Jan 2026 14:11:23
We may as well sign Kiefer Moore.

12 Jan 2026 18:39:53
We need a change in style of play to suit the squad we have, we don't have much cash left to buy, cheapest option if dyche can't adapt is to sack dyche, but I don't see that happening till seasons end.

12 Jan 2026 19:10:30
I’d rather sign Father Abraham from the Smurfs mate……😂😂.

12 Jan 2026 12:31:20
West Ham signed Mendes player Pablo Felipe and "Taty" Casstellanos also signed through Mendes, I think Mendes had a big part to play in Nunos exit, he was losing influence over Mr Marinakis when Edu came in and pushed Nuno into a confrontation!.

12 Jan 2026 09:29:41
January sale needs to start now!

Morato 5m
Bakwa 20m
McAtee 20m
Ndoye 20m
Awoniyi £2.50


Send Zinchenko back

Please sign Evan Ferguson Connor Gallagher and Kobbie Mainoo.

12 Jan 2026 10:12:11
Where would you play Gallagher and mainoo? seeing as we have MGW and Anderson already?
Not that we could afford them or they would come
Ferguson on loan in Italy and did Jack at West ham last season when on loan
Looks like we've just let a good striker go out on loan in Kaliamundo, all it needed was Dyche to play different tactics to get a tune out of him.

12 Jan 2026 10:30:19
Seriously Munmad?
You've overpriced Awonyi by £2!

12 Jan 2026 10:52:07
Bang on there DTP, Ferguson has still done nothing at Roma. As for the two midfielders, Mainoo will stay at play for Utd now the mangers gone and Gallagher will go to a champions league side. We have to be realistic to our position with incoming signings, if Mr M is going to stick with Dyche then players who suit his style of play can be expected, En Nesyri looks a good bet but with Morocco still going at Afcon we'll probably have to wait until the end of the transfer window.

As for the Kalimuendo situation, who sanctioned his transfer before a replacement was lined up? Bonkers once again for the backroom team. 🌳.

12 Jan 2026 11:01:35
I fear we're stuck with Zinchenko for the season.

13 Jan 2026 14:01:10
You've made my day! Surely not bsered.

12 Jan 2026 02:39:43
Carrick in line to be Man U interim coach. Snap him up for Forest while it's still possible.

12 Jan 2026 06:58:21
I think man Utd are missing a golden opportunity here, why don't they have Carrick and Solskjaer as a management partnership instead of one person in charge, could take some pressure of running that club!.

11 Jan 2026 19:01:32
Danny Welbeck a confident striker wins the game for Brighton with a top class finish. We need a confident striker who can finish and shoot very quickly to get us out of this mess. Against teams of the quality of Wrexham it should have been shooting practice.

11 Jan 2026 21:29:01
We could do with a top class coach who knows a thing or two about tactics.

11 Jan 2026 21:58:11
We've got one in wood rhr bud.

11 Jan 2026 23:43:39
Unfortunately he's injured though Bowie and unlikely to feature much this season. A top class operator in the 18 yard box nevertheless.

12 Jan 2026 17:47:57
Doesn't matter who you have up top if you don't play the ball into them to score from.

We have really missed Wood this season.

13 Jan 2026 13:50:24
We could sign mbappe or Harland - wouldn't get a sniff with our midfield.

Our midfield hit row z, or put crosses in for the 6ft 4 defenders to easily deal with.

Solution is for midfielders not to hang on to ball too long (3 touches), get some width and put crosses / passes for the forwards to have a chance to latch on to.

11 Jan 2026 19:15:22
Red Robin, in a belated light bulb moment I’ve just posted an explanation for a post of mine which you may have taken the wrong way inadvertently on my part, from yesterday mate…….

11 Jan 2026 23:53:43
Hey Stokey, don't worry mate, i was being a d**k for my part in all the shenanigans anyway. But yeah the Cloughie part went straight over my head. 🌳.

12 Jan 2026 11:32:39
Red Robin, my profound apologies. Entirely my fault mate……😔.

12 Jan 2026 13:21:11
Lol stick a sock in it Dino Dyche lover🤣, twas all banter anyway. If you want you can think what you like about yourself, not for any of us lower peasants to judge. 😘🌳.

12 Jan 2026 14:14:38
😂😂😂😂👍👍.

11 Jan 2026 17:59:02
En Nesyri didn’t sign for West Ham last year because of the weather in England!

Of course it’s much warmer in Nottingham😂 He has a decent scoring record in Spain and Turkey how will be be on a cold February night in Leeds!

I’d go for Strand Larsen might be 10m more but better prospect imo.

11 Jan 2026 19:52:57
A freezing turkey 🦃🦃.

11 Jan 2026 21:31:25
If Edu has anything to do with it the player will be a disaster.

11 Jan 2026 17:50:19
Well edus working is magic looks like a 8 goal striker from fenerbache on his way. but won't be able to play till summer because its to cold for him here at the minute 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

11 Jan 2026 19:11:45
Yes and Turkish media always get it right skeggs?
Doubt it will happen.

11 Jan 2026 19:31:26
Signings before edu for you skeggs
Lingard
Mangala
Niakhate
Obrien
Biancone
Richards
Dennis
Tavares
Toffolo
Boly
Bowler
Turner
Viachodimos
Montiel
Origi
Reyna
Sosa
Jota
Carmo
Just saying.

11 Jan 2026 20:11:42
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hope I had you on Google for hours dtp. but them players wouldn't match the 200 million edu spent on 5 players. also you forgot to put our best 11 in before edu 3 of them worth over 200 million oh dear you really do make yourself look stupid dtp all by yourself mate 😁.

11 Jan 2026 20:22:12
I know the good players
I haven't included awoniyi because of what he achieved first season
Just proving a point that our recruitment has not been that good on many occasions and some of it down to needing numbers
Surprising how we've made decent money out of some despite it all.

12 Jan 2026 14:18:40
Of that illustrious list DTP I’d take Jota, Mangala Boly and Toff as back up in the Europa list, certainly the early rounds.
The rest just illustrates poor and scattergun recruitment and what a badly run club we are imo.

12 Jan 2026 18:44:56
I missed morato and omadambelli off somehow stokey
But the likes of mangala, niakhate, we made money on and they would have done a job.

11 Jan 2026 16:24:54
Well done Mansfield blunted the Blades 👍👍.

11 Jan 2026 16:54:03
Maybe it's just me, however, I feel City didn't have to humiliate Exceter the way they did yesterday?
They should have eased off at around 4-0?
Still no sign of their dodgy dealings whatsoever.

11 Jan 2026 17:10:11
Mvred territory 👍.

11 Jan 2026 17:49:05
I agree Redjester, brilliant performance from The Stags, well done Nigel Clough!

12 Jan 2026 00:14:04
Certainly is my territory Bowie, plenty of mates went to the game. I watched on TNT, it was an entertaining game deservedly won by the Stags.

12 Jan 2026 10:54:39
Couple of absolute worldies in that game, was a good watch. 🌳.
