Louis Saha spot on.
Neville just jealous the statement went on Twitter and blew up, so Sky didn’t get the exclusive clip they could generate loads of views from.
#nffc
Thank you Louis Saha for speaking the mind of Premier League fans.
@FA_PGMOL
apologies and statements have not worked all season. The referees have been terrible this season.
James Ward-Prowse debut for Forest:
✅ Most touches
✅ Most completed passes
✅ Most progressive passes
✅ Most passes into final 3rd
✅ Most interceptions
Quietly orchestrated things from midfield 🎻

Forest have won their last 4 matches with Tim Robinson as referee.
2:1 v Man Utd home
1:0 v Chelsea away
2:0 v Coventry
2:1 v Derby
Unbeaten in our last 8 with Robinson as ref.
Only 1 defeat in last 13 with & the only ref we have 100% win rate with since promotion.

POTM Murillo for Forest v Brighton:
✅ Most touches
✅ Most passes completed
✅ Most progressive passing distance
✅ Most clearances
🗿2/2 aerial duels won
⚽️ Started the move for our 2nd goal.
Key to grabbing a point from a tough game.
#NFFC
So to sum up the game, Forest haven’t won at Anfield since 1969 and yet the daft lads think Cooper should go there and play them off the park with a half fit mid table at best squad or should be sacked.

Comparison of Nottingham Forest after 3 games of the season - 22/23, 23/24, and 24/25
Lots of shots, corners, and touches in opp. penalty area this season.
#NFFC
Brighton had 43 crosses v Forest on Sunday
That is the 2nd highest no. crosses from Brighton in any Premier League game, a clear tactic.
My theory is that's why Yates came on for JWP in the second half to deal with aerial threats better.
Subtle but smart from Nuno?
#NFFC
Chris Wood Transfer Fee - £15m over 2 year deal =
£7.5m per year
Eddie Nketiah Transfer Fee - £30m over 4 year deal =
£7.5m per year
Both will be on around £100k a week wages.
It seems to be the going rate, and will be ok deal if he bags 10+ goals a season
#NFFC
Just on Yates calling for VAR thing.....
Yates doesn't make the gesture to the ref, he is looking at our bench and asking them to check the replay and talk to 4th official on it.
Minor but important difference as opposed to him gesturing it to the ref.
#NFFC
James Ward-Prowse
Premier League record since 2018 is a goal or assist every 3 games from a CM position.
The closest we have had to that is Danilo with a goal or assist every 4.5 games.
With Danilo out, next up would be Dominguez with a goal or assist every 8 games.
#NFFC
Nice to see Joe Worrall getting praise for his time at Forest
Still frustrating so much of it gets caveated with ‘but he wasn’t good enough for the Prem’
The lad has a better points return per game than Felipe, Niakhate & Murillo
Burnley think he’s good enough I guess
#NFFC
2022/2023 Points Per Game
Joe Worrall - 1.10
Niakhate - 1.07
Felipe - 0.81
2023/2024 Points Per Game
Joe Worrall - 1.57
Murillo - 0.84
Felipe - 0.75
Omobamidele - 0.73
Yet you will hear how some of these players are 'rolls royce' and Joe is 'not up to the level'.

No amount of journalism is going to convince me Newcastle identified Vlachodimos as such a high priority GK target that they were willing to pay Forest circa £10m profit for a player sat on high wages, that only made 7 appearances and sat bottom of Prem GK stats table
#NFFC
Taiwo offered more in 45 mins than Wood & Elanga combined over 135 minutes
Why is there so much discussion over Taiwo after the Fulham game?
17 Touches
1 Shot
0.2 & Highest xG for Forest
2 Shot Creating Actions
#NFFC
Ashley Young kicks through the back of Gio Reyna’s foot while Reyna has control of the ball = No Pen
Murillo accidentally catches Periera’s heel while the ball isn’t even within shot = Pen
Inconsistent at best. Still fuming 😤
#NFFC
Opinions on here about transfers are baffling.
Nobody batted an eyelid last season paying £30m for Sangare as a guy to basically win tackles.
Now £30m is a high price for a striker at good age from a top 2 club.
#NFFC
Milenkovich top debut
He will face 35 more difficult games this season. I’d think of this as a warm up in terms of handling Prem strikers
Wolves is a great opportunity now to prove we’re at a level above the relegation scrap and then test ourselves against top sides
#NFFC
My take on why Nketiah suits Forest:
Nketiah is in the TOP 10% of forwards for Goal Creating Actions
Taiwo is top 30%
Chris Wood is in the BOTTOM 20%
Looking beyond scoring record, it's about chance creation for the likes of Elanga, CHO, MGW as well
#NFFC
It’s not one or the other:
It’s a soft punch, but it’s still a red.
It’s an over reaction, but it’s still a red.
You cant be debating what kind of punch is a red or not then complain about inconsistent referring. Only option is red for any punch.
#nffc
Forest created 4 good chances v Fulham on Saturday.
The most good chances we have created at home this season!
Also the first time we’ve had more good chances than the opposition at home.
Fulham created 0 good chances, except the Penalty.

Clubs are cooperating in some fashion to get around PSR deadline
Forest are doing for Newcastle, what Lyon did for us.
No point trying to analyse transfer values at the moment, they will be set by whatever is needed for club’s short term PSR obligation.
#NFFC
Why wouldn’t Forest buy the freehold for the City Ground anyway, even if they still plan to move away at some point in the future?
For a relatively small outlay, they then have both options available and the asset to sell later.
Why is it an ‘either or’ decision?

This time last summer Forest had only actually signed 3 players in the transfer window.
This summer Forest have signed 8 players in the transfer window so far.
We signed Montiel on 23rd August and went on to sign another 9 players before the deadline.

@maxbscott
It’s been true for years, there are many refs who have restrictions on refereeing teams they support.
What’s bonkers is why PGMOL don’t just out Atwell as 4th official instead where he’s got not impact, if they need him to make the numbers.
You know what to do Yorkshire! How often will you get chance to vote for someone with such passion and character who really wants to make a difference.

Matz Sels has conceded between 5 & 6 more goals than he should of based on the shots he has faced at Forest.
This equates to a goal every 2 games, that he should in theory be saving.

Photographers, you must keep the pyramid alive with your money & effort.
Remember you can’t just sell images, you have to tweet about it all the time and convince others to join or else your ngmi in life. Just mint whatever images you have knocking around and make up a story.
Photographers, I know bids have been slow. I feel it too. But now is not the time to bail. Now is the time to take more photos, tell the world about your journey, and build your community. Remember this is building for the long term. Stay and vibe with me🤙🏻
It seems bonkers that Forest lost 7 games by a 2-3 scoreline last season!
Our history of 2-3 defeats wasn't too bad until the Prem.

Chart showing Nuno’s momentum since becoming Forest manager.
Enjoying his first period of sustained momentum over a 6 game period and it could continue today.

The new stadium talk might just be a lure to get a deal done for the land in Toton.
Get a chunk of land at a good price, put the training complex there and then develop hotels, offices etc to generate income to the club while ultimately deciding to stay at the City Ground
#NFFC
Sander Berge has been in teams relegated twice from Prem and a team that took 2 attempts to get back out of the Championship
Fulham just paid £20m for him.
Nketiah for £30m doesn't seem so bad
#NFFC
@gergmitch
For the first time in quite a while the predictor I’m following has Forest surviving.
Yesterday it had us on bottom three so other results do matter somewhat and it’ll be interesting to see after tomorrows big game.
Neco Williams had 5 shots yesterday - the most for a defender in a single game in the Prem this season.
Milenkovic had 3 shots and is joint second along with Faes, Romero, Tarkowski, Walker-Peters.
Attacking threat, just a shame only 1 of the 8 was on target in the end.
#NFFC
Standard Boly
Standard Yates
If we’d signed these lads for £15m a piece they’d still be some of our best transfer business.
If they were from South America they’d be hyped every week.
#NFFC
Nikola Milenkovich, on his debut, recorded the 8th highest Non-Penalty Expected Goals for Forest since their return to the Prem.
He joins Niakhate as the only non-forward player in the top 10.
Chris Wood fills half the spots, of course, that man loves a goal!
#NFFC
The best way I can put the Mangala to Sanagre downgrade is:
I used to be excited to go and watch Mangala play, even though he did his work away from the goals there were moments of quality beyond what I’m used to at Forest to sit and enjoy
Sangare is just a nervous watch
#NFFC
Why does a backhanded dig have to be thrown in though?
He played 30 games last season and we stayed in the league.
What more can a player do to prove they are capable of playing in the Prem, than actually playing in the Prem and the team not getting relegated?
#NFFC
Don’t get the negativity towards Worrall. He’s a local lad and he’s given everything to the club. He’s just simply not at the standard to play Premier League football week in week out. It’s special that a Nottingham born lad captained us to the big time.
Forever grateful

When you talk about MGW building partnerships the (already forgotten) Danilo is a big miss in that respect. His athleticism and understanding with MGW was our main alternative to Johnson towards end of last season. Losing him & Johnson at same time not ideal.

£14.3m profit on the sale of Moussa Niakhate.
In his time at Forest he managed 3 clean sheets, 6 wins and 882 completed passes.
That's £4.8m profit per clean sheet,
£2.4m profit per win,
and his value increased by £16k every time you saw him pass the ball
#NFFC
Some lovely context to add:
Mr Marinakis is worth around £2.4b
He’s 56 years old, so roughly 20440 days old.
Which means he’s in effect earned £117k per day his entire life.
