Nottingham Forest banter 2

CYOR Sorry but I'm not terribly well! Fuxk it.

25 Sep 2025 21:21:45
Just got back from a fantastic trip which was very nearly perfect. Some very good posts below, wasn't we great first half. Shame we fell away a bit second period but I was still proud of my team. 29.5 years ago, I was freezing in Munich watching us narrowly loose, shame about the home leg. To be in seville did bring out some emotions, seeing us play in a stadium of that grandness, feels like we are back in the big time. So, enjoy it lads Ange's tactics will backfire sometimes, but it won't be dull.

25 Sep 2025 21:53:37
I'm pleased to read that you had a great time MV. However, I have to admit that I'm slightly jealous of your experience though! Good on you mate.

As for Ange - I'm strapped in and ready for the roller coaster ride.

25 Sep 2025 22:00:41
Still here MV. The locals have great time for us.

A few telling me how funny they found the " Have you ever seen Derby in Seville" song.

Great city. Perfect setting for our first European game.

25 Sep 2025 17:29:39
I remember a game years back, European Cup semi final 2nd leg, Ajax away, in a fabulous stadium! 2-0 up from the first leg at the CG. The Dutch hooligans took us on and got stuffed pre match. We sang our hearts out for the lads, got beat 1-0 by the ref lol So then battled the Dutch hooligans again! The atmosphere was incredible, fans incredible, team incredible, Mr Clough and MrvTaylor incredible! Still remember it like it was yesterday, but can't remember what I went into the kitchen for these days!
Enjoy 😉 these incredible European Nights, they make fantastic memories!
Thank you Mr Cooper, thank you Nuno!
COYR.

Brilliant story mate!

25 Sep 2025 18:25:49
12, as shown earlier. Cooper really did bring us from oblivion. Ok may not suite the football criteria on here, but WHAT DO POINTS MAKE. PRIZES. in fact reds, I'd g8ve the Welsh laddie the key to skegness 🤣 i keep saying on here reds. Football such a simple game. If ya find the right players. Willing to work for the easy ball. But yeah you also get derby flicks as i call em, from mgw obviously going nowhere. And simple balls played back. Oi you lot again just bringing up simplicites, FTID.

25 Sep 2025 18:35:27
I sincerely hope that you're not going to leave the chat room DTP, yes we've had our fall outs and at times I've wondered if it was worth staying on myself. But I've come to realise you've made me a better person, a fresh outlook on life if you understand. I'm sure others feel the same, so re consider. thid site will be poorer without you,.

25 Sep 2025 20:48:21
It will 100%!

25 Sep 2025 21:30:17
"Come back and stay for good this time"

Paul Young. 1983. I think.

25 Sep 2025 22:05:48
Nice posts about DTP guys. He might disagree with us at times but that's the nature of this site. I've come to realise that we're all one big, disfunctional Forest family on here. However, we stand together in our love of our Club.

C'mon back DTP.

26 Sep 2025 14:34:12
Thing is lads, we all have different viewpoints and see things from our own perspectives. Our posts ruffle some feathers, we say what we see, some agree, some don’t. This site is what it is. Sometimes it’s a bit petty and sometimes a bit too personal. I myself have butted heads with DTP ( formerly FF79 ) amongst others when i was TAP1710, probably because i didn’t get him, but over the years I’ve learnt that he is a good bloke who speaks sense, shares his posts from his point of view and backs himself when criticised. Personally, i love the wind ups on here which is why i look in every day to see what’s what. Some of us are more sensitive than others, not saying that DTP is as i reckon that he could easily hold his own. But it can become a witch hunt on here when everyone jumps on him and he must get p*ssed off with it. I know i would! I for one, hope he hasn’t gone. The world would be very boring if we all thought the same. Banter refreshes the mind and soul.

26 Sep 2025 16:13:31
Rogie wasn't that Take That? Wantcha back wantcha back for good this time?

26 Sep 2025 16:26:45
Nice one perko. Tbh I really can't see why he left bud? Seen a few little hits from winter full stop?

26 Sep 2025 17:49:07
I thought the same Bowie, we have the odd to and throw, he digs me out as i do him but its all in jest and lately has actually been very cordial. 🌳.

27 Sep 2025 06:31:37
Must agree, not seen anything on here recently for him to have that reaction, who knows? Only DTP can enlighten us on that one.

25 Sep 2025 16:03:17
My team and formation to beat Sunderland

4-1-4-1

Sels

Williams
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Zinchenko

Yates/ Luis

Bakwa
Anderson
Gibbs White
Hutchinson

Jesus

Subs Victor Wood Kalimuendo Dominguez Ndoye Hudson Odoi Morato Savone Jair.

25 Sep 2025 17:54:38
Hopefully Luiz and Murillo back for sunderland, expect Wood, HO and Ndoye will start.

25 Sep 2025 13:35:43
Looking forward to seeing Murillo and Dominguez back. We'll be able to keep better possession and see games out more easily.
Good showing last night and some fabulous football. A win on Saturday would help settle the lads, and I hope Jesus keeps his place.

25 Sep 2025 12:29:07
Missed Murrilo last night but all in all great performance Jesus looked sharp against top quality opposition.

Luis and Anderson will be a great 6/ 8 midfield combination just need to sort out the 10 position now as Gibbs White totally off it atm

Could Anderson play there when Dominguez is available again?

Proud of the team the fans and the manager last night COYR.

25 Sep 2025 16:46:56
We are better WITHOUT No10.

First half we were amazing and MGW wasn't in the No10. 4:3:3/ 4:1:4:1 suits us far better with both Luiz and Anderson as dual number 8s.

25 Sep 2025 17:31:42
Theres a far more qualified and better payed Aussie that picks our team peddling pete. Whichever side he picks i trust it will be the fittest and strongest eleven we can field. 🌳.

26 Sep 2025 17:24:15
Yes, don't you go enjoying yourself talking about football. You know, team selections or football rumours. This is a thumbing site now! 😂.

25 Sep 2025 10:13:11
Seen some of the posts below, I just want to say I was hugely proud of the whole club last night, players, management, and fans, we took it to a good Betis team, a superb first half, in which we played some great attacking football, in a fantastic stadium, a real fitting stage for our return to European football, we wilted a bit in the humidity second half, but baring in mind 4or 5 years ago we were lauding away points at the likes of Preston and qpr as decent, I think last night was a great result, , and I think as a game, a credit to both teams, and I have to say I seemed to get 'something in my eye ' as Morgan led us out of the tunnel into that superb cauldron of arena, yep it even got to grizzled git like me, 😊.

25 Sep 2025 10:56:49
It's a shame we didn't kill them off in the first half with all the chances we created but I would've took a point before the game. Monumental effort from the boys in red but we just ran out of steam in the end. Brilliant from the fans as well. Backed the team from the start.

25 Sep 2025 11:57:51
The turbulent forest engine has finally started and is now revving in first gear.

With the team and manager now in place, its fair to say, the last couple of weeks were our pre-season. In an ideal world we should have been up and running for the start of the season but that is not the forest way.

Still. a draw away at Bettis is amazing when all things considered.

Exciting times when we click into second gear.

25 Sep 2025 14:51:27
Must admit Stevie i was hugely impressed with the first half, the attacking intensity is something I've never actually witnessed as a fan of our mighty reds. Anderson and Luiz were top class to the point i mentioned that Ando was playing like Zidane in his pomp. Jesus is looking the real deal, Drogba mark 2, hopefully he gets a decent shot at Sunderland next up. All in all extremely happy and optimistic. 🌳.

25 Sep 2025 15:50:52
Playing Ange ball in that heat for the first 45 mins completely shattered us and legs were gone second half, we must learn to pace ourselves especially when players two games a week or like Spurs last season something will give.

25 Sep 2025 16:30:49
I'm more than proud of the performance from the players and the fans last night. The £35 million we paid for Anderson seems like the bargain of the century. We were excellent to a man (although I think Kalimuendo could do with a crash course on his first touch). We missed a few chances in the first half and should've been out of sight by half time but still immensely proud of the team. YOU REDS!

25 Sep 2025 16:48:29
Yes, we looked impressive in the 1st half WITHOUT a No10.

26 Sep 2025 01:59:32
I thought Morato had hit first good game in the Garibaldi.

26 Sep 2025 20:20:25
Carlo my old friend, that actually makes a lot of sense.

25 Sep 2025 09:23:04
Hopefully so much learnt by Ange last night, MGW needs dropping to kick him up the ar@e yes an assist but anonymous rest of game, Sangare is a liability yes great interceptions and blocks but no good if your just going to pass it straight back to them, that back pass to Sels in the first few minutes was horrendous, and get Kalimuendo to practice his first touch for the next week, still can't warm to Zinchenko just can't defend, rest looked good especially Williams who is seems to be getting better and better.

25 Sep 2025 11:24:00
Red mate, if MGW isn't having a good game. he'll chase everything down regardless.

25 Sep 2025 12:42:50
Zinchenko comment about not defending is more down to style of play
I would say only 50% of the time he was in a defensive position
Ange has him swopping to inside position and attacking
I don’t think with ange the back four are ever going to sit and need to adjust to style of play.

25 Sep 2025 14:27:09
I'm. sorry but look at MGW stats for the game
Interceptions 0
Blocks 0
Clearances 0
Tackles 0
Possession lost 11
Successful dribbles 0
Key passes 1

I love as much as any other fan but he isn't chasing anything down, he was dropped before and came back outstanding he just isn't adding anything at the minute.

25 Sep 2025 14:52:41
We were absolutely fantastic first half, really don't get the downside from our fanbase. 🌳.

25 Sep 2025 17:53:30
It was an amazing, scintillating half!

25 Sep 2025 20:29:32
Because football consists of 2 half's we can't keep having a great 45 mins followed by a dire 45 mins and end up losing or drawing all the time.

25 Sep 2025 00:24:29
So ta bed, said the other night. You know them films you have seen over and over. But once ya start watching you can't stop. At the time it was terminater 2,
Along with others like your rockys. Rambos, gladiator. Life of brian etc etc. What do TNT play. straight after game. (I believe in miracles) dam just cannot stop watching it for umpteenth time. Bigger hero's than your stallions, arnies. Dunno how it was for you lot, but just brought that warmth and belief back to football from our club for me. Players done brilliantly. Or good as. Don't get me wrong I miss the old tackles and no dodgy decisions VAR dodgy refs, linesman. Simple pundits like moor, jimmy Hill etc etc. Strikers allowed to take keepers out. Don't miss the bore fest passing back to keepers. The old pitches, rain drenched. B1tch fest. good old days reds. (Just remember who ya spent em with) never forget they need more love as they age. FTID ❤️.

25 Sep 2025 07:42:42
Great post mate.

25 Sep 2025 14:53:16
Great post ya Geordie git😉🌳.

24 Sep 2025 23:26:05
No matter what the result, a point is better. blah blah
Just make sure you all come home safe, with a stick of rock!
Bugger - NWA - No Win Ange.

24 Sep 2025 23:23:32
Best performance by miles and being entertained now
My journey on here ends on that note
Cheery ho everyone
Goodnight and remember to be positive.

25 Sep 2025 05:44:35
It's about results not really about being entertained.

25 Sep 2025 09:06:23
I hope that doesn't mean you're leaving the site for good Ff.

25 Sep 2025 09:46:23
We can live in hope, Gazzi.

25 Sep 2025 14:57:29
Yeah DTP you better not be going, i know from time to time we clash but all the same mate, we're both reds through and through and this site needs level headedness. (not sure if that's actually a word but it works all the same) 🌳🌳🌳

And stop thumbing yourselves the couple above its sad, pathetic and completely obvious to those with sense.

26 Sep 2025 12:01:38
I think he means you, Gazzi. 🤣🤣.

26 Sep 2025 12:50:51
What's the threshold on 'thumbs up' until it qualifies for 'thumbing yourself', Robin? 4? 5? 6? 7?

26 Sep 2025 16:28:38
The fact you have to ask that question just points how pathetic it is🌳.

24 Sep 2025 22:42:10
Amazing atmosphere.

Proud.

Pity the Spanish police seemed to want to start something. that wasn't there.

All in sll a good away point and a great experience.

The highlight of the day was my brother letting a guy tag on with his who was on his own. Who was his his best mate for 3 hours till he found out he was Sun reporter for 32 years. They got in a right row in the taxi on the way to the ground. Had to cut the journey short before he knocked the S@@t out of him.

Memories aye.

In hotel bar now safe n sound.

All in all on that performance. Think we will be fine.

24 Sep 2025 22:52:18
Well said 67 enjoy every minute.

24 Sep 2025 22:57:15
Enjoy 67 sir. Give my best ta the good lady. Proud of ya 👍.

24 Sep 2025 23:26:44
Thanks Bowie. I Will.
