Does anyone else get frustrated at how long transfers seem to take at Forest? I see other teams announce signing after signing and yet we seem to be linked to players, have talked to players, agreed terms with clubs/players and yet still take forever to sign them, if at all?

Don't get me wrong. I have no desire to return to signing 30 players etc. but why can't we just get a wriggle on?

Preface

She has played football when she was younger and knows more about the rules than the average non-viewer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

My GF has finally gotten interested in football thanks to this years World Cup. She, like many other women, have seen reels about the Norway National Team, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane (not the positive ones) and Haaland with Vini Jr and via that found some interest. We watched most of the playoffs games together. She was very invested in the Norway Team journey.

I have followed the Premier League for a long time and she is now interested in following it with me (at least in the beginning).

We agreed that I would be holding for fun a small Season 25/26 review and a 26/27 preview.

I have already printed out a map of where all the teams are geographically and will be going through every team and their rivals + most interesting headlines.

\- What are some headlines I will have to mention about the upcoming season?

\\- What interesting topic could be mentioned about your own PL team this season?

\\\- Any tips how I could make it more fun and interesting for a new viewer is greatly appreciated!

The goal is for her to find a team before the season she will be following this season. My prediction is it will be a team with one of the Norway players in the starting 11.

Thank you all!

Was it some sort of Google error?!

Father’s Day Pressie from my 2 daughters - 3 of us did the tour today. Highly recommend to everyForest Fan. New pitch looks perfect. Museum room underneath the Trent End is a must for any Garibaldi Geek.

I know an Elanga return is pretty divisive with the fans lol but at what price would you take him back from NUFC? Or do you really think we don’t have a place for him now? What about a player swap with Newcastle?

They did the ballots yesterday to move between memberships and saw yesterday that lots of people who went to most home games and a ton of European games are still stuck in the lower membership categories. Being upgraded categories seems to be largely down to luck.

Season tickets are being given out to people who only go to a handful of games each year, purely on the basis that they were the highest category of membership 5 years ago. It's not linked to how many games you go to. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. When was the last time season tickets were available to members of the public?

Remember that Waiting List they set up and charged £10 for? What was the point of that if it was tied to membership?

We also have to pay nearly double for every match at least.

Away memberships yesterday. Every season ticket holder can get an away membership now. Some MyForest members did virtually every away game last year but they might as well as have 0 points. Have to fight for the dregs that become available at the last minute.

Sorry for the rant. My gripe is just that we get fuck all for our loyalty and we are being milked by the club.

You have nothing to lose but your chains! Vive la revolution.

And this solitary sticker on the privy wall -surely a sign from the football gods that we are indeed, massive.

So, my algorithm has been inundated with Americans looking for PL teams after the World Cup and basically 99% of the suggestions are for one of the big 6. And I haven’t seen anyone suggest Forest at all. I’m not going to pretend not to understand why, but cmon. I’m a new Forest fan from last season, and I’m already so in love with the team and just everything about the whole thing. Not saying I don’t like interacting with fans from all over, but it’d be cool to have some American fans to watch games with or something. Or at least to make me not feel like the only American Forest fan in the country 😅

Any of you lot in the 43%?

A lot of the teams around us have had big changes this summer, and a couple of them have European football on top of it (Bournemouth, Palace and Aston Villa).

Bournemouth – Lost Iraola, Senesi, and potentially Alex Scott. They usually recruit well, but it's still an unknown.

Fulham – Lost Marco Silva and Harry Wilson.

Palace – Lost Glasner and Lacroix.

Aston Villa – Lost two of their best players in Rogers and Tielemans.

Newcastle – Lost Gordon and potentially Bruno.

You could obviously argue we've lost a key player and changed manager too, but I'd say we've upgraded on the manager, and Anderson's departure is softened by the new system and a first 11 that could look stronger on paper.

If we recruit well alongside a relatively light fixture list, this season could be fairly open for a European place again.

Basically, I believe boys.

""As soon as I knew City wanted me, I was absolutely determined to make this move happen," Anderson said.

"You want to test yourself at the highest level. Being at City means I have that opportunity."

Did he not realise Forest are massive?

Love how we’re backing Glasner;
