What’s going on at Nottingham Forest?

Collymore, Stuart Pearce, Ian Woan and Steve Stone during that weird year where he was really good and scoring bangers for England whilst looking like a 47 year old plumber.
Bryan Roy aswell.
They still had many of those (and Kevin Campbell and Van Hoojidonk) when they went down in 96/97.
It's amazing for their fans but like most seasons an unusual team doing so well at the start will eventually fall when injuries and games build up. But it must be brilliant for them to have a season away from relegation drama. It'll help the club build themselves to a PL mainstay, hope so it's a club with fantastic history.
Sorry about that, I read that in an article that was obviously wrong.
I don't know if we have a history of rivalry but I've always wanted to see Nottingham Forest back in the CL because they have a good history of winning it & as a little boy I was always wondering how a team below the championship did so well in Europe.
Whilst I'm a true fan of Manchester United - I still do view Football as an entertainment rather than a religion so our rivals are just vocalised with hate rather than anything i actually mean.
I've always wanted a PL with Nottingham Forest, Everton, & even our rivals like Leeds because as a league for me the Entertainment excels when all our rivals and sleeping giant clubs are awoken & fighting each other. A bit like what Serie A would be as an entertainment without Inter Milan to AC Milan or vice Versa as a neutral watcher. The return of Dortmund & Leverkusen in the Bundesliga was fun to watch as well. However, no doubt there's 100s of clubs and everyone deserves their chance they reap.
I hope Nottingham Forest do well and manage to atleast get in to the Europa Cup to become an European rated team again.
Players like Hudson Odoi, Elanga & especially Morgan Gibbs White are very good.

Very good defensive manager reaping the rewards of a very solid, organised, strong defensive side - particularly their centre back pairing.
Imagine they’ll peter out to a very respectable mid-table finish. Can see the Wood goals drying up and conceding a few more goals on average.

Marinakis charged for financing organized crime in Greece. This is in regards to a case where a group of Olympiakos ultras injured and killed a police officer (he was hit by a flare)
Des Walker, was he still around?
Marinakis looks like a proper mombster to me.
Wasn't he in court in the UK about another Greek case?

Left for Serie A about 91/92 I think. Then returned to play out his career at Sheff Weds.
He's also implicated in the Noor1 case, which has led to multiple dead people.
I'm here for the Forest redemption arc...He was before my time but Brian Clough, eh? What a manager. Loved the doco 'I believe in Miracles'.
Obviously Nuno is doing a great job, and they've found some pieces that clearly click - Murillo, Milenkovic, Wood (and the attack generally). That can happen when you plan properly, and it can happen when you throw a lot of darts at the board. Wouldn't generalize too much about the causality of that. Also, they're one of 11 teams who's on more or less similar points. They could well be 12th in three rounds.
Arsenal next, wel learn something from that game I guess.
Exactly this. They have Arsenal next, followed by Ipswich and 2 Manchester clubs. So hopefully they beat Arsenal and lose to us
They're gonna get something at Arsenal
Edu with the winner
Up to 3rd in the table. Nuno Espírito Santo has certainly moved on after just 17 matches in charge of Tottenham.
I think he's basically Portuguese Moyes. Getting a club with low expectations punching above their weight with uninspiring, defensively solid football is his level.
I think he'd be hounded out of anywhere else that expects either trophies or decent football as quickly as he was at Spurs.
How is Hudson-Odoi doing nowadays? Still curious to see how things go for him, after we were so close to buying him for obscene money.
Excellent recruitment and coaching finally paying off
Shit as always.
Claims he will but will the current Tottenham manager end their trophy drought? for their "decent football" Tottenham after a likely defeat to Liverpool tomorrow will fall to 12th in the table and 8 points behind Forest.
I don't think Postecoglou is even a better manager than Nuno, but Spurs weren't wrong to get rid of him. After years of Mourinho, the last thing Spurs fans wanted to see was Nuno coming along and playing a less proven version of the same dour football. He never had a chance there.
I think he's great for Forest, and that's probably about his level. Same as Moyes was great for Everton and West Ham.
Buy them Jimmy.
Nottingham Forest and Villa in the champions league. We really are going backwards
I wonder if we're going to see more of this due to PSR limiting what richer clubs can spend? I think it's fantastic to see different clubs challenge.
Anyone noticed Nuno playing 3-4-2-1 today. Wonder if he’s done that before or now have the courage to do it since Ruben is here and performing well with it?
If Chelsea and Forest have thought us anything over the last couple of years it's that signing 40 players every transfer window is the way forward.
Jim better get that cheque book out.

No chance he’s only doing it because Amorim has
show him some respect ffs.Notting, notting is going on.
Think it comes down to aggressive recruitment. They buy so many new players, somebody will end up making an impact. Then get the rubbish ones out asap. Kinda like a pound shop chelsea.
Probably only about 100 times.
It was his usual formation at Wolves.
I was going to say... How many seasons was he at Wolves? That was one of the things I liked about his tenure there.
Four wins in a row. Just moved into 3rd place, ahead of Arsenal.
Them and Chelsea so far prove maybe there is merit to buying like a madman.
So envious of their athleticism all round the park today compared to ourselves. What they do seems to be very uncomplicated also. Rugged centre halfs, workers in the middle of the park who can do a bit of everything, pace out wide, big man up top. All so simple and obvious looking.
Ps: really impressed with Elliot Anderson. Would love a player like him who can do a bit of everything
