I genuinely can't wait for United to be denied one or two this season. Same old Premier League every single season. Not a penalty in a million years. If that's on Brennan Johnson at Old Trafford he's cautioned for diving. Fact.
#NFFC
😳 “I’ve heard some ridiculous comments that Marcus Rashford dived…”
✅ “The penalty is stonewall. I’ve watched it 3 or 4 times, I am 100% right!”
@MarkGoldbridge
can’t believe some people feel Marcus Rashford dived in
#MUNNFO
Final bit from me on the Bairstow incident today but watch The Test docu. Australia have now done exactly what they said they didn't want to be after sandpaper gate. Cummins had a chance to say he made an error of judgement but justified it. It's just engrained in their culture.
Miltiadis Marinakis has been a breath of fresh air since he walked into the club. If he wants to post a message after a win or tease a new signing with a few French words then cool. Frankly, if that bothers you, you really need to get yourself a bit of a life.

Some thoughts

...
- How did we get Figs for £1.3m?
- Similarly, how did we get Samba Sow for £640k?
- Will

- Is

- Finally, how on earth did

Former Nottingham Forest and Scotland defender Scott McKenna is having a medical at Las Palmas today ahead of signing a three-year deal at the La Liga club.

Slept on it thoughts...
- Zinckernagel is unbelievably good
- Johnson will only get better
- Yates did really well second half
- Scott McKenna is our best signing for years
- Let's stop the Lewis Grabban slander
- Wing-backs - wow!
- Steve Cooper tactically...👏

Dear
@talkSPORT
I don't know why it winds me up so much but any chance of one pundit actually saying how utterly brilliant
#NFFC
were last night or is it a day focused around how bad Tottenham are?
Congratulations to Derby County and Gary Rowett on claiming the 'We Finished Above Forest Trophy' for the fifth straight season. Your prize, for the fifth straight season, is football in the same division. Are you watching Nottingham? Oh yes we are! Up the Fulham!!!
#NFFC
That second half display is exactly what a Remo Freuler is. Absolutely outstanding. MGW class, Lingard tireless, Yates intelligent and tenacious. Worrall and Boly colossus, Aurier and Lodi excellent. Absolutely huge win! Up those Reds!
#NFFC
Some will naturally put a negative spin on it but selling Niakhate for £27m and landing Milenkovic for £12m is the sort of stuff Brighton and Brentford are lauded for. It's baby steps of course, but these are deals that epitomise how football clubs should do business...
#NFFC
Spence was brilliant for us and as a promotion-winner he deserves the utmost respect. He's sent a classy message to supporters so deserves respect back. Don't understand why some folks have a problem with fans showing a bit of respect to a player who gave his all.

The Carvalho stuff is really annoying me now. It's like we've washed our hands of him. If he was 22, from Gedling, called John Carvalhington and emerged from the academy we'd be crying out for patience. The lad's been injured and hardly played in his position this season.
#NFFC
When a player is out of the picture completely it can be so difficult. All you ask when they then get a chance is that they show what sort of character they are. Harry Toffolo was a credit to his title of professional footballer today. Came on when we had 10 and was class!
#NFFC
Warnock's rant is embarrassing from last night. He genuinely couldn't say anything positive about us whatsoever. Praised his big mate Brucie for apparently sticking at it in the second half. They were slapped 4-0. Bruce and Warnock belong in the same place. Retirement.
#NFFC
Forest fans: "Let Cooper get who HE wants to build a squad and let him work his magic."
Also Forest fans: "Not him he's crap."
I honestly despair with our fan base at times, I really do...
#NFFC
#nffc
have agreed a fee of around £2m with Stoke for striker Sam Surridge, who is set for a medical this afternoon. Forest also targeting a defender and (possibly) a winger before the deadline
#scfc
When you lose to Forest on Monday to a goal from a bloke with a broken skull, re-announced as worse team ever on Tuesday, have an average attendance lower than Forest AND still try to laugh at us for announcing ground redevelopments. Special breed.
#NFFC
Scott McKenna will go down as one of my favourite players over the last 10 years. Yes, we've had better footballers but he always gave his all, was top quality in our promotion-winning season and just seems like a thoroughly decent bloke. Wish him well.
#NFFC
Another outgoing at

. Great opportunity for McKenna who needs regular football ahead of the Euros (Copenhagen also face Man C in UECL next month)
So many Bournemouth fans telling us how we should feel ahead of tomorrow. How dare the form team in the league who have been gash for years buzz about a big game. Are we supposed to just not support our team ahead of such a huge game?
#NFFC
🤦♂️
My special mention today is for Tobias Figueiredo. What a performance. Again. The biggest compliment I can pay him is that I love
@SteveCook28
but I've barely noticed he's not been there. Utterly faultless...👏
#NFFC
I'm sorry but Joe Lolley is our player, give me an out of form Lolley over Luke Freeman any day. Not being harsh on the lad but he won't be here next season, Lolley has been on three minutes he's zipped a shot past the post and registered an assist.
#NFFC
Folks said he shouldn't play for us again after a naive move on Wednesday and then he plays like that. Absolutely superb. Our Player of the Season so far. Ignore the haters! 👏
I think we're at the point where Forest could sign Harry Kane, Jack Grealish and Reece James and people would say I'd rather sign Keinan Davis, James Garner and Djed Spence...
#NFFC
Where to start with that. I tell you where. Moussa Niakhate. Unbelievable performance to say I got told two weeks ago that two lefty CBs wouldn't work. Nico Dominguez also, the work rate of that lad is just something else! Some win today and a pleasing performance.
#NFFC
For me tonight isn't even about reaching the top two, that can come later. If we win, we have six points more than the team in 7th. It'll be a clear sign that Forest don't want to be one of the 10 teams fighting it out for 5th and 6th. That's massive for me.
#NFFC
Let's not stick Freuler in a bracket with Shelvey. Remo has struggled of late but after being dropped he was geeing up the subs, kicked every ball from the bench and headed down to celebrate with his teammates after the third goal. A model pro that JS can only dream of being.
Hoping we’ve learned our lesson with regards to Shelvey and Freuler. A much better side with both of them not included. Mangala, Kouyate and Danilo the midfield three for me tomorrow.
The state of the comments on this are exactly the reason why some men feel as though they can't talk to anyone. Social media is an absolute hell hole with stuff like this. Lingard deserves the utmost respect for being brave enough to go public with this...
I've never known a goalscorer like Lewis Grabban so badly disrespected. Bloke scored 17 goals last season. But for injury and missed pens he comfortably gets 20. So what if he doesn't 'look happy'? With Adomah and Lolley supplying him, could score for fun again next season.
#NFFC
Wembley has turned some of our fan base into self entitled little mard arses. I've been to 12 games, I've been to 13, I went to Scarborough away in the cup in 1934. I will never understand this one-upmanship on fellow fans. We're all bloody
#NFFC
aren't we?
Let's not be a hideous fan base and bash the two who missed too much. Sound display with a second string, worked hard against a strong Newcastle. Dominguez won't be able to move tomorrow and Moreno looks steady. Miguel made up for his error. Back the lads again on Sat.
#NFFC
I'm sorry but that one is on Steve Cooper. Three subs as soon as we went 2-0 showed a complete lack of respect to Luton. Got to get Yates and Worrall on though haven't we? Not sure where we next win now tbh...🤦♂️
#NFFC
Remember when the BBC Derby chap claimed Joe Worrall needed to reassess his life goals after celebrating winning the derby? I don't want to ever hear them lot moaning about us celebrating anything again. Dancing and crying after a 3-3 draw with 24th place at home and 44 points 😂
Outstanding second half performance. Danilo and Aurier unreal. The latter roaring into Mitoma and then thumping his chest in the 96th minute after six weeks out injured is exactly the level of fight I want for five more matches.
#NFFC
The
#NFFC
supporters who belittle other clubs for celebrating really rile me. If Forest won the UEFA Conference League, you believe I'm celebrating it and why shouldn't clubs who do win it? 🤷♂️
Freuler couldn't cope with the Prem is a myth. He was stifled in a system that didn't suit him. Don't come at me. He'd be fine in plenty of Prem sides... 🤷♂️
#EURO2024
Getting a bit fed up with people who probably haven't seen us play one game under Chris Hughton sticking the knife in to 'big, nasty Forest' for sacking him. CH is a top bloke and that has never been called into question. CH, the manager, has fallen well short.
#NFFC
Lodi, Lingard, O'Brien outstanding. Would definitely consider Boly for a run in the team too. Is there an argument to bring Henderson and MGW into the starting X1 and stick with nine of those tonight? Serious headache for Steve Cooper. Up them Reds!
#NFFC
I can't believe how many
#NFFC
fans appear to know Jesse Lingard personally. If Steve Cooper wants him then he will 100% believe he's the right fit for us. I'm not having this 'oh, he's got a bad attitude' purely because he's got TikTok. The fact is he was brilliant for West Ham.
Slept on it
#NFFC
thoughts: Still can't get Zinckernagel's miss out of my mind. What a chance. To say we were missing so many, we had a good go. Horvath good, Worrall immense and Garner flexing his PL credentials. Been one hell of a ride in the FA Cup...
Lewis O'Brien should not be dropped ever. I prefer not to speak, I'll only get slammed for being a broken record. Naive once again and we're in deep trouble.
#NFFC
Was fortunate enough to officiate a training game at
#NFFC
this morning. Very humbled at how the club treated us with a tour of the training facility, breakfast in the players' canteen and top class hospitality. Thank you to
@Karanka
and his team for a really enjoyable day.🔴⚪🔴
I'm tired already of seeing tweets slam
#NFFC
for their 'lack of ambition'. We're a club with no top-flight football for 20+ years and sadly that means FFP is right on top of us. Think some would prefer us to keep Cash, miss out on promotion and then lose him for £3m next summer.
Slept on it
#NFFC
thoughts: Second 45 frustrating. That mistake from the AR changes the game, especially if we score the pen. But, B'mouth did a job on us. I'm pleased to see as a fan base we're not scapegoating a single player for one below-par display. Bring on the play-offs.
Bournemouth v Forest OFF.
#nffc
understood to be furious after travelling down last night - pressed for decision by this morning at the latest but postponement only just confirmed. Forest willing to play Sat morning but Bournemouth declined the offer
Slept on it
#NFFC
thoughts: What a win! Cook outstanding, Zink worked his arse off and Johnson is the matchwinner we've craved for years. Shame we conceded but would have snapped your hand off for that at the start. Onto Tuesday...
Got home had a pizza, considering a glass of red and scratching my head at how anyone could have ever doubted
@JLolley23
. The bloke literally didn't stop running today. Tremendous... 👏
#NFFC
Where to start with that. Montiel class, Gibbs-White quality and Dominguez so busy. Niakhate and Murillo played their part and Yates contribution to second goal underrated. But Anthony Elanga. Wow. £15m is horrendous from United. The boy is class!
#NFFC
Shame to see some Forest fans on here basically bashing Hudson-Odoi after last night. Struggled but we've said all along he needs a run of games. Look at Elanga when he first came, it's all about confidence, fitness and game time as a winger. It'll come, he's got time.
#NFFC
That is some performance from
#SCFC
. Danny Batth and Jack Butland absolutely superb. Don Goodman says its a big result for Leeds, Fulham and Brentford. Two of which
#NFFC
will go above if we win our game in hand on Wednesday. Keep slipping under that radar...
Jack Robinson says we're embarrassing, Paul Heckingbottom has been flapping his chops too. Let's enjoy this tonight
#NFFC
. Pleased that Cooper and Forest players have spoken about OUR job. Leave the mind games to them and see what happens. Tough game ahead.
Pleased for Lyle Taylor. Raises money every October with his pink campaign and gets that abuse when he comes on the pitch. Cheers for the points though Bristol City. I genuinely can't believe we've won that. Get in!
#NFFC
I wouldn't call it a masterclass but Joao Carvalho has changed that game. Said it before, he'll give the ball away, as he's constantly trying to make stuff happen but that is outweighed by his undeniable creative spark. Thought
@JohnJBostock
showed a lot of character too.
#NFFC
Slept on it
#NFFC
thoughts: Dominguez and Niakhate class, Toffolo is a model pro, Aina excellent and Sangare's best game yet. Orel Mangala cost us £12.7m, let that sink in! 1-11, it was a really enjoyable performance, I don't like MGW on the right but can't knock his work rate.
I have to say regardless of whether you think that is a pen on Morata or not, that is a lovely piece of refereeing. Books him for diving, Morata offers a barrage of expletives and then is duly and correctly shown another caution for dissent. Lovely.
#CHENOR
I'm not sure about this notion that
#NFFC
have looked tired during the last two games. At 2-0 and comfortable why would we still be going hell for leather and risk injury? For the first time in ages, we look fit for the final stages of games and our game management looks fine.
Was that Moussa Niakhate who isn't a leader, leading by example to even step up and take a pen and then go straight over to Sam Bell following the conclusion of the shootout? 🤔 👀
#NFFC
You'd honestly think that
#NFFC
had won promotion and asked fans to club in for the wages of new signings. If the manager and CEO think spending 100k a week on one player gives us a better chance, then so be it. We've been out the PL for 23 years and it'd be nice to stay there.
What I like about Aitor Karanka is that he would never behave like Gary Rowett did today whilst representing our football club. Rowett smacks of a man firmly under pressure with his behaviour and his comments. Tom Lawrence cost more than our 18 today, let that sink in..
#NFFC
Is Lewis Grabban allowed one mistake without someone now informing everybody that he's actually always been crap? Give me strength. Literally no middle ground with some Forest fans.
#NFFC
Another who won't bring a bad word out of me. Lolley was unplayable at his best. During the bad times for the club, he's always stood out as one player who cares deeply about doing well for the club. Deserves a move where he plays plenty of games...
#NFFC
Joe Lolley has been told he isn't part of Nottingham Forest's plans for the Premier League – and ordered to train with the under-23s.
Lolley has been a popular player for
#NFFC
since 2018 – but was told this week he's no longer part of first-team group.
Slept on it
#NFFC
thoughts. Zinckernagel immense, Johnson brilliant. Special praise for Worrall. To injure ribs and produce a performance like that is typical of the bloke. Punishment for the Leicester fan? Stick him some gloves on and make him fight Keinan Davis properly...
Why are Forest fans incensed at Bristol City wanting £20m for Semenyo? He's sat on two less goal contributions this season than Brennan Johnson who some fans are valuing at £30m+. Aren't other clubs allowed to value their young talent in high regard?
#NFFC
I feel a mention is needed for James Garner tonight too. Hes worked his nuts off during his last 120 mins of football. It wasn't long ago that working hard and running a lot for a central midfielder was cause for praise from our fan base. Garner has put a shift in tonight.
#NFFC
What a performance. James Garner 11/10. Absolutely brilliant. Thought first half a few were off it. The second 45 was superb. If anyone wants to persist with the Lewis Grabban slander, please unfollow me. Up them Reds!

If you wanted an indication of how bonkers the Championship is, Brentford have lost more games in the league since last Sunday than we've lost since we played them on December 12th.

thoughts. This sport will write me off! Every emotion going last night. Danilo class, Mangala was quietly brilliant, Felipe colossal and MGW grew in the second half. The work rate from Johnson was also outstanding.
#SaintsFC

Not sure I buy this notion of putting academy lads in on Saturday. Blackpool are in good form and we don't play again until 20th January. Go as strong as possible and try to win the game.

thoughts: Tough game, Newcastle outstanding. Forest will get better. One game against a good side doesn't mean a player 'isn't good enough for the PL'. Some seriously ludicrous takes. Cracking day with the lads and old man watching us in the PL. 37 to go...
Show this to supporters of those clubs who don't understand how Forest are on the brink of a play-off place. Just look at the work rate from
@Yuri_oribeiro
in the 97th minute. They'd run through brick walls for Sabri this lot and I absolutely love it.
#NFFC
The Premier League allows no room for sentiment but Cafu gets my respect. Always given his all, seems to give a toss about the football club and put his bollocks on the line to take a penalty against Sheffield United.

Let's take a moment to remind everyone of Chema Rodriguez's highlight in a Forest shirt. This should calm the Brentford fans down after Tuesday...👀
