Jill Sparrow 8,466 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hanky panky? What's that, PP? I'm nearly 63 with a dodgy thyroid. 30 minutes of gardening and i'm asleep for the rest of the day! Wonder if Pickleface, games mistress at The Manning, is still with us. She'd have been ideal for Ben. Totally impervious to male charm. 30 minutes with her and he'd be applying to join the nearest monastery! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 8,669 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Feel sorry for Sabri but the football ‘industry’ is brutal. We sat next to him in Piccolinos last year, seemed like a nice man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,276 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Given the failure at the end of last season and the dismal start this year it was inevitable. Having a revolving door for managers is not the solution, there is something more fundamentally wrong within the club. A good start for Chris Hughton would be to clear out all the under performing players, particularly the international imports and develop a coaching/ scouting system to develop local talent. I would rather they lose bringing through local talent than lose with a lot of overpaid prima-donnas with no passion, pride or commitment to the club. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,635 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Forest unbeaten in last 4 games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 391 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hughton is an excellent manager and if left to it should get Forest on an upward trajectory. Unfortunately Zorba has a track record of interfering. Let’s hope he's learned that keeping a low profile is the best thing for the owner of a football club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,276 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 After 12 games without a win the Stags have sacked their manager, Graham Coughlan. He only managed to win 4 of the 29 games he was in charge for. Bookmakers have Gary Caldwell at 2/1 and Nigel Clough is 6/4 second favourite for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,276 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Sadly things are not getting better for Forest even with their new manager. With a third of the season gone they are still languishing in the relegation zone. I despair that it will get better. According to the pundits, apart from last years teams relegated from the EPL they have the strongest squad on paper. Somebody needs to tell them that the game is not played on paper.

LizzieM 8,669 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Sabri wasn’t so bad after all, it’s them on the pitch who are at fault. Pity Derby won! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 5,360 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Watching Match of the Day & seeing fans allowed back in the ground @ Liverpool & Spurs & the Millwall fans booing the players taking the knee, gave me a lump in my throat, Forest will be okay when we get 28/29 thousand crammed back in the ground, giving them some encouragement or even stick.

Oztalgian 2,276 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Can't argue too much with that one Ben, I must have seen Wally Ardron play when I was about four or five years old but can't actually remember it. Obviously that is a team drawn over a few era's. The best and most entertaining Forest side I have ever seen is this one. Grummitt, Hindley, Winfield, Hennessey, McKinley, Newton, Lyons, Barnwell, Baker, Wignall and Storey-Moore I make no apologies to Brian Clough's teams that won the European Cup, great teams as they were, but nowhere near as entertaining as the 1966/67 side. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 546 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Oztalgian, that's the team I remember from when I first went to a Forest game in 1967/68, aged 11-12 - only know about Wally Ardron from my Mum and Dad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 8,669 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Ohhh, I knew a few of those lads, went to parties at John Barnwell’s house and saw a lot of them at the clubs in town. I understand that Pete Hindley is yet another ex-pro footballer suffering from dementia. We were at a ‘do’ last year with ISM and his wife, I’ve never told him I had a photo of him on my school jotter LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,276 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I think it is about time Forest got rid of their overpaid, under performing foreign imports and started building a team with local and UK talent. If worst comes to worst I would rather them be relegated playing some some young local talent than the team they have now that is obviously costing a fortune in wages and just cannot seem to score a goal. 5 hours ago, LizzieM said: We were at a ‘do’ last year with ISM and his wife, I’ve never told him I had a photo of him on my school jotter LOL To this day, winning the world cup aside, Aye,Aye Ian's hat trick against Everton in the FA Cup sixth round was probably my most memorable football moment. The downside of that game of course was when Labone clogged Zigger Zagger and put him out of the semi final against Spurs at Hillsborough. I was right behind the goal when Jimmy Greaves mishit the shot that scored the opening goal he was clearly aiming for the left hand side of Grummitt's goal and it came off the left hand side of his boot and went in near the right post. I know there are many on here who will disagree with my view but you only have to watch the replay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Will2017 27 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 The reflex save by Peter Grummitt, from Jimmy Husband, in the Everton game probably helped turned the game in Forest's favour plus Frank Wignall outplaying Brian Labone in the second half.

Peter Grummitt was a world class goalkeeper and would have walked into any other international side but at that time England had many top notch goalkeepers. Some names that come to mind are Ron Springett, Gordon Banks, Peter Bonetti. Grummitt played 3 times for England Under 23's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,425 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Not sure if this is correct but I am sure I can remember my dad telling me that Peter Grummitt played part of a match with a broken arm. He just had it sprayed with a pain killing spray and carried on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
