23 Sep 2025 19:17:01
Well said Bowie ???COYR ?.

23 Sep 2025 19:24:02
Can't wait to watch it, just wish I could have got tickets and be there
Only silver lining is I've got tickets for Newcastle game.

23 Sep 2025 19:24:13
Very well said Bowie. You forgot to say your usual about also cherishing family and loved ones at the same time though mate. I'm going to do a post on discussion in a mo about my latest 'project' - hopefully, that will keep everything in perspective for us all!

23 Sep 2025 19:25:05
Big moment for us all. I was a kid when we got the two stars.

I hope everyone doesn't forget where we were on September 21, 2021, when the club was at the bottom of the Championship league table when we appointed Steve Cooper. Forest are truly back!

COYR!

23 Sep 2025 19:34:10
Yes Bowie, perfectly put! Pride in the badge. Always.

23 Sep 2025 20:01:47
I'm a bedsheet short cyclist
Worth it though ????.

23 Sep 2025 20:35:03
Yes Bowie. well said mate.

23 Sep 2025 20:49:29
Love it DTP! Even your spelling on said sheet! ?.

23 Sep 2025 21:04:15
Should have kept it for a quilt cover ???.

23 Sep 2025 22:11:06
TOP MAN BOWIE.

24 Sep 2025 09:26:09
You certainly are a bedsheet short Ff.
A bedsheet short of a full set.

24 Sep 2025 10:34:51

23 Sep 2025 11:34:44
Nice one Rogie.

23 Sep 2025 15:47:10
According to the press, Forest are wearing a special shirt tomorrow for the start of the European campaign.
Apparently it's a Bowie signature.
There's a bay window in the front ?.

23 Sep 2025 16:29:13
Heard it has an old musky smell, like dribbled vodka??.

23 Sep 2025 16:32:57
???? know what a mean arry.

23 Sep 2025 18:56:41
The good lord Peter Taylor, came down and said, forgive them bowie. They know not what they do. Or say. Or see. New Bowie new outlook. Hacksaw ridge ?.

23 Sep 2025 19:57:42
Don't worry Bowie, they must have got all giddy from too much candyfloss and peanut brittle.

22 Sep 2025 19:14:43
Nice to have new members Hoojdonk2 and Big Larry on board?.

22 Sep 2025 19:36:05
Yep skeggs and balloons MV.

22 Sep 2025 20:25:48
Are you sure this time, DTP? You and others have accused plenty of people of being the 2 in question.

22 Sep 2025 21:57:09
Well it is a banter site. So let's banter!

22 Sep 2025 23:02:13
We on to Hoojdonk2 already. Hoojdonk1 already losing his memory? ?.

23 Sep 2025 03:52:23
Thanks MV. Really enjoying it, Have a great time on Spain. I'm sure we will get that first win.

23 Sep 2025 08:31:49
I'm Sparticus! Sorry I meant Balloons and Skeggs ???.

23 Sep 2025 15:21:12
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the North. General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next". ?.

23 Sep 2025 16:25:52
Brilliant rrh just brilliant film, and a sentence to remember. ? crowe/ phoeneix/ Reed amazing cast.

23 Sep 2025 16:55:16
One of the Greatest ever made mate, sadly number two just didn't cut it. ?.

23 Sep 2025 17:50:16
A great quote from a superb film Winter. However, I prefer Maximus saying "what we do in life echoes in eternity". So true.

23 Sep 2025 18:07:03
Actually rhr, just watching hacksaw ridge on Netflix, 2nd time. based on true story. What an amazing emotional event in history of a true f kn hero bud. All on here. Look it up. please. won't let ya down ?.

23 Sep 2025 19:16:09
Yeah seen it mate, very good film. ?.

23 Sep 2025 19:21:00
Also love this one

"Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours! "

Awesome ?.

23 Sep 2025 20:02:29
Weekend at Bernies?

The face that launched (some I've seen that would sink) a thousand ships.

23 Sep 2025 20:06:36
I prefer the arguments about forest winter
Just saying.

23 Sep 2025 20:57:18
Best words ever spoken was Peter sellers in a lift, when films were funny and entertaining.

23 Sep 2025 21:07:29
Lol DTP you are the voice of contradiction ????.

23 Sep 2025 21:15:03
Look and learn young un ???????.

23 Sep 2025 21:23:05
Life is a contradiction winter and always will be, if you haven't learnt that by now?

24 Sep 2025 00:13:39
Contradiction or indecision on your part? ??.

22 Sep 2025 16:50:43
I think UEFA changed the format last year, so it's now a league basis. We play different teams in one off games, so many positions go through to the knock out phase! It's to give qualifying teams more games in Europe, without it most would only play 2 legs before being knocked out! More money generated too!

22 Sep 2025 13:18:41
Any predictions for the Bettis Game? I think we might get a draw. Even a 1-0 loss would still give us a big chance.

22 Sep 2025 13:50:18
Bse don’t quite understand, if we lose we just get no points, there’s not a return leg.

22 Sep 2025 15:33:52
According to DTP if you think we will lose then you are all doom and gloom.

22 Sep 2025 16:09:19
I don't see where they mentioned a return leg, Stevie. Unless you read different to how I read.

22 Sep 2025 16:50:51
My bad Stevie, apologies!

22 Sep 2025 16:52:11
2-1 win for the Reds, Bettis won't expect us to play attacking football - but then no one will lol.

22 Sep 2025 17:24:44
Betis great counter attacking football bit like us last season. unless we score 3 we won't be coming away with owt.

22 Sep 2025 17:49:06
Silkman if you read bsered post maybe you will understand my reply,

22 Sep 2025 17:53:23
I think we have a good chance Betis best player Isco injured. and a few failed and past it ex premier league players. Antony, and ex Arsenal bellerin, how olds he? Maybe Ange will surprise and be a bit more pragmatic.

22 Sep 2025 19:23:21
On paper, Betis away is our hardest game. Just play whoever has Euro or International experience. Europe away isn't like the Prem.

I'll be happy with a good performance, so the players find their feet in Europe.

Heart: Betis 1-3 Forest ?
Head: Betis 1-1 Forest.

22 Sep 2025 19:32:27
Well predicting your team to lose is as gloomy as it gets tbh
I'm suprused you manage to cross a road silkman without worrying a bus might knock you down
If football results where so easy to predict then the bookies wouldn't exist
Personally I'm looking forward to it and you can't do that with negative thoughts of a defeat before the kick off.

22 Sep 2025 19:45:10
I'm glad your looking forward to it dtp nuno done such a great job so all the fans could enjoy it this season. I hope we do him proud.

22 Sep 2025 20:27:58
Every forest fan should be looking forward to it skeggs, if your not? Then time to find a new hobby.

22 Sep 2025 20:41:28
When did I predict Forest would lose? Not being surprised by a result is not the same as expecting or predicting that result. I don't worry about anything until I need to worry about something. And even then I might not worry as much as I probably should do.

22 Sep 2025 20:47:47
Hooydonk he’s gone skegs, like you kept reminding everyone about cooper, without who we wouldn’t have been in position to push for Europe at all, so you best let it go like you kept telling us,

22 Sep 2025 22:01:46
I view this as a free hit.

It is by far our hardest game.

Positive we will get to the next phase. No pressure. Therefore the team can express themselves (to coin a phrase from 1990).

22 Sep 2025 21:00:45
Betis are a team of premier flops and has been, Amrabat, Firpo, Bellerin, lo ceslo, Antony Fornals, we should be looking to win this one,

23 Sep 2025 12:28:51
If we were at home, I'd expect us to win. Away from home it's a tough one in a massive 70, 000 seater stadium against one of the top ranked teams in the comp so not an easy one.

We should still definitely be looking to try to win every game, but keep our realistic heads. It's a shame this one wasn't after we'd already got into the Europe League swing with it being the "toughest one" but that seems to be the way of it at the moment.

22 Sep 2025 07:39:26
{Ed's Note - Shappy has posted a new article entitled, Onwards And Upwards For Manchester United

21 Sep 2025 22:05:09
Well, we are only 5 points behind Arsenal and 3 points behind 6th place. Everything to play for. ??.

22 Sep 2025 05:09:32
And 2pts ahead of the bottom 3 ?.

22 Sep 2025 20:52:45
Don't you just love the early season jitters/ optimism! ?.

23 Sep 2025 06:35:31
Big Larry stirring into his half empty glass.

21 Sep 2025 21:17:08
Are you OK dtp. your sounding very paranoid I haven't said anything just chilling watching a movie mate looks like your having fun googling stuff that really makes no difference mate. fans will have there own thoughts and opinions anyway carry on googling I'm going to watch second part of my movie have a goodnight pal ?.

21 Sep 2025 21:23:37
Well just like a football game, your watching a movie but can't stop looking at your phone? ????.

21 Sep 2025 22:10:03
Seville, wgst a place. Staying for the week. Missuss loves it (gotta keep her indoors happy?. Told her she is lucky to be with a Forest fan, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

A week full of Cadiz, Cathedral Pslace, Tapas, Gardens and Forest.


Thank you Nuno (you Forest legend). You delivered this. God bless you dir.

22 Sep 2025 00:54:41
67, I'll be in Seville for 2 days of sun, beer and Forest. No time for that sight seeing malarkey.

22 Sep 2025 05:24:18
Im going to get my hair cut over there.
???.

22 Sep 2025 08:12:56
To be fair crystal Palace delivered it ?
Enjoy lads ??.

21 Sep 2025 19:27:53
In my old Army days we used to call this a 'Warning Order'!

FYI I'm hoping to attend the home game vs Spurs on 13th Dec (courtesy of McGovern's help) and it will be great to meet with fellow posters at the TBI beforehand if you can make it.

To see McGovern, Stokey and Carlo again will be brilliant - as well as meeting others on here such as Arizona et al.

I can't wait.

21 Sep 2025 22:42:23
Hopefully, see you there pal.

21 Sep 2025 22:49:18
Brrrr could be freezing ??
If we’re early we might get a game Lego! ??.

22 Sep 2025 00:51:19
We play Utrecht on Thursday the 11th, the Spurs game won't be on the 13th. Fixture change just not announced yet.

22 Sep 2025 19:46:31
It'll be a Monday night game on sky I reckon.

21 Sep 2025 16:05:22
Wow that unai emery must be a crap manager, ( 3 consecutive Europa leagues wins) his team couldn't beat newly promoted Sunderland who only had 10 men for an hour, and Burnley who obviously we should have battered yesterday, beat Sunderland easy a couple of weeks ago, so I guess villa need to sack emery now,

21 Sep 2025 16:48:01
Stevie I've read some of the villa forum and some of fans are actually moaning so like every other club mate.

21 Sep 2025 17:00:01
Hooydonk, if he’d have been judged on his arsenal record, like people are judging Postecoglou on his Spurs record, they wouldn’t have employed him in the 1st place, or us nuno for ghat matter, that’s the stupidity of all this, I don’t know whether Ange is the answer, but I’m prepared to give him more than 2 league games,

21 Sep 2025 17:33:58
I'm not that bothered to be honest stevie whether he does good or bad I don't think it will matter why edus pulling the strings. but we shall see.

21 Sep 2025 18:30:25
What's edu done wrong.

21 Sep 2025 20:58:24
If we'd judged Nuno on his Tottenham record we would never have qualified for Europe.

21 Sep 2025 21:28:07
Who was the last manager to win a trophy at spurs cyclist, as my memory's not very good? ??.

21 Sep 2025 22:02:53
Dementia setting in DTP?

22 Sep 2025 14:22:07
What yours? ????.

21 Sep 2025 16:00:56
Just watched Sunderland v Villa, so we have a tough game next - Sunderland down to 10 men from 32nd minute - they look useful! They showed fight, grit, determination and earned a point!

21 Sep 2025 18:29:18
I wouldn't be surprised if Sunderland beat us.

21 Sep 2025 18:48:54
Would you like to elaborate on that silkman and tell us why?
Your all doom abd gloom, doesn't matter the subject be it politics or forest, WHY?

21 Sep 2025 19:55:09
I would fgs get a grip man guaranteed 3 prs.

21 Sep 2025 20:46:19
I'm not all doom and gloom at all

21 Sep 2025 20:58:45
Really? ????.

21 Sep 2025 21:48:35
F fs don't say that silky.

21 Sep 2025 13:09:43
Controversial topic but my thought are it now time to give Chris Wood a rest and use him as an impact sub after say 60/ 65 minutes

Start Jesus and or Kalimuendo as they are far more mobile and able to press which our new style requires the strikers to do

Plus points are there are quite a few possession up to 65 per cent away from home

Luis looks quality and he and Anderson will be great together Bakwa Hutchinson Ndoye and Hudson Odoi give us great options out wide

Our problems look to be at 10 as nether MGW or McAtee look the real deal and our defence without Murrilo looks shaky

Morato and Boly not good enough imo and it should be Jair and Abbot as back up CBs

Sels looks shaky but will come good and Neco and Zinchenko will be fine imo

COYR.

21 Sep 2025 13:48:26
Pretty good post mate.

21 Sep 2025 13:50:35
Jesus should be first on the team sheet woody done well for us in fact great last season but when I've seen Jesus play he looks quality and a pace quicker than woods.

21 Sep 2025 14:56:20
For a change we agree, Jesus’ looks quality and should be our starting 9 in the Prem

My major concern is at 10 can Ndoye play there as he does for Switzerland as MGW and McAtee look shorts of ideas at the moment

Need Murrilo back absolutely vital for us at the back.

21 Sep 2025 18:51:12
The rotation will be interesting with betis and Sunderland and ange still learning about his players.
