Fantastic signing for Forest - I'm pleased as they are kind of my second team. They have done very, very well to secure his services - and for a third of what Twente would have paid him.

[Flavs]

NAthan Tyson has signed for Derby as well, the team he once nearly started a riot against

. :unsure:

Good piece from Phil McNulty on the beeb around McClaren
Never thought I'd see 'good' and 'Phil McNulty' in the same sentence.

That hack is a disgrace to the McNulty name tbh.

Jimmy McNulty :bow:.

[Flavs]

Ok so rather start a new thread can be the nty thread as well.

Notts manager Martin "mad dog" Allen been a busy boy already this signing 5 players but sadly missing out on number one target Marlon Harewood, he also says they need another 5 players, so basically a new team :lol:

In come
JUde Stirling
Ish Demongtac
Julian Kelly
Alan Sheehan
Hamza Bencherif

[Flavs]

heck they have now signed Jeff hughes and Charlie Allen, manager Martins son

On the club website Martin Allen says about son Charlie "he comes from good bloodstock and is a player i have watched for some time"

:haha:

The pieman returns, Andy Reid back at forest years after moving from the tree's to Spurs for 4mil. McClaren will make a good winger out of him tbf

[Master Splinter]

McClaren will make a good winger out of him tbf

He'll need to shed about fourty stone from him first though.

[Flavs]

Robert Earnshaw released by Forest and returns to the sheep tamperers, also former forest favourite Marlon Harewood is to sign for Chinese second division team the Shenzhou phoenix

Ish Demongtac


It's funny cos he has Mong in his name.

Notts County are to play Juventus in September to mark the opening of the Italian side's new 41,000-seater stadium.
The clubs have been linked since 1903 when the Italian side were inspired by the Magpies to change their shirts from pink to black and white.
The friendly match will take place in Turin on 8 September.
A return fixture between the two sides at Meadow Lane is planned before the start of the 2012/13 season.
http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/54597000/jpg/_54597009_119904521.jpg Juve traded pink shirts for County's black and white stripes in 1903 Juventus are expected to wear pink for the first half of the exhibition match in Turin before changing to their new home strip in the second half, when the Magpies will don a specially commissioned white strip.
It was John Savage, an Englishman playing for Juventus, who in 1903 arranged for replacement shirts to be sent to the Italian club by a County-supporting friend back home, and Juventus have worn the black and white stripes Notts County traditionally play in ever since.
Notts County chairman Ray Trew told the club website (http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/page/Welcome) that the trip to Italy was not ideal with a League One match scheduled for just two days after the game, and a further match three days after that, but it was an opportunity the club could not pass up.
"Given the historical relationship between our two clubs and the sheer prestige of the occasion, we were prepared to move heaven and earth to make this happen," he said.
"It will be a fantastic night for everyone associated with this great football club - the players, the staff and of course the fans."

Also Forest have sigend Matt Derbyshire and Ishmael miller and county have signed Jeff Hughes

[Cripps_orig]

McLaren might quit

[Master Splinter]

McLaren didn't quit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McClaren. :lol:

It'll end in tears.

[Flavs]

So what don't you want to happen when you are under serious pressure to keep your job? That's right lose at home to your biggest rivals.

Taxi fro Maclaren.

Still, county are doing well!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McClaren. :lol:

It'll end in tears.

Me. :bow:

[Ernesto]

Steve MacLaren's gone.....just a matter of time.

Feel for Forest, but they shouldn't have gotten rid of Billy Davies and brought in the Dutchman.

The away win at Watford has bought him another couple of weeks, in his defence they have been getting progressively better under him and are starting to look like a challenger, i expect both Brighton and Southampton to fade so its all up for grabs.

Forest lose 1-3 to Birmingham.

McLaren :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McClaren has to go surely.

[Cripps_orig]

McLaren resigns

SSN breaking news

[Cripps_orig]

Forest chairman whoever he is will step down at the end of the season as a direct response to the chants of the Forest fans

We should take tips

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McLaren resigns

SSN breaking news

:lol:

That went well then.

[Flavs]

Jesus wept, questions will be asked as to why Billy Davies who took forest to the play-off's twice in a row was sacked for McClaren who was shocking at best.

Forest should be breaking the bank to get Martin O'Neil back home now

mate at work is forest fan and he's been praying mclaren went and o;neill came in......part 1 complete

they need to spend some cash though dont they?

[Flavs]

Well McLaren bought Derbyshire and Big Ish Miller, also bought in George Boateng and Jonathan Greening, they have the squad they just weren't responding to the manager (sounds familiar)

They have a lot of injuries as well

[Flavs]

Forests approach to appoint former manager Paul Hart as technical director fail due to the fact Charlton want £1mil to release him

[Flavs]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15256295.stm

Steve Cotterill, Kevin MacDonald and Mark Robins in the frame.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forest have agreed compensation with Portsmouth for Cotterill.

[Flavs]

Also...

Cotterill confirms he is up for it

[Flavs]

back to back wins for the tree's as the Cotterill effect ripples through Nottingham again :bow:

[Flavs]

Well what a wierd week for these two. County boss Martin Allen gets sacked after the loss away at Hartlepool despite the recent good run and county 12th in the table

Then Pompey get deducted 10 points for being iffy and Forest go on to beat Coventry to move out of the relegation zone

:wacko:

I expect Lee Clarke to take over at county

[Flavs]

Keith Curle?? Keith "shove a banana up someone's arse" Curle

FFS :doh:

Also Simon Grayson is to be named Huddersfield boss

[Flavs]

Keith Curle confirmed as County boss :rose:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

As much as I despise Allen and County, sacking him for Keith Curle is laughable.

[Flavs]

How can you despise county???

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

How can you despise county???
County under him, then.

He made them into a team Stoke would cry about. Sickening anti-football at times. Lee Hughes is a bit of a blot on the copy book as well.

The chairman seems a bit crazy though.

Lee Hughes is a pimple of the arse of wankiness at best.

I see what you mean I thought yu meant the whole club

[Flavs]

Forest won again :faint: and county won...again :faint:

Add that to the fact Arsenal ass fucked Spurs and Monty won to go back top of the French league and it just doesn't get any better than this

[Flavs]

County at it again last night http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17109352

Keith Curle played 3...won 3 :bow:

level on points with Stevenage now and chasing the play-offs.

[Flavs]

Played 4 won 4 now for Curle's black and white army to move into the play-off places.

Forest also now unbeaten in 3 and slowly, very slowly climbing the table.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Forest are beating Leeds 5-3 at Elland Road. It was 2-1 at half time :blink: 6-3 now :haha:

And to balance it up, County are losing 4-0 to Sheffield Utd. :lol:

They finish 7-3 and 5-2 respectively :lol:

Notts County's best ever player?

[Cripps_orig]

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/yennaris-joins-notts-county-on-loan

Notts County's best ever player?Its a good shout

I'd personally say Sol Campbell though

[Master Splinter]

Its a good shout

I'd personally say Sol Campbell though

He was fat, shit and mental when he went there though.

[Cripps_orig]

He was fat, shit and mental when he went there though.A good point but seeing as no one other than County fans actually gives a shit about them and hasnt heard of any of their players, i'd still say Campbell

[Flavs]

While county have been very busy rebuilding the squad to try and make up that extra point they need to get into the play-offs Forest have been out trying to find new owners, and it seems too have worked!

After buying the club yesterday the Al-Hawasi family have now unsurprisingly sacked manager Steve Cotterill. Be interested to see if they do go after Ferguson as rumoured. New manager is to get a £20mil war chest to get them up into the prem in the next 3 seasons

[Flavs]

Oh god someone just said that Arry Redknapp will be in at Forest

Forest :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Crooknapp is ruling himself out of every job going this summer.

Tony Adams and Les Reed are doing likewise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forest have confirmed talks with Mick McCarthy apparently. :lol:

Surprised Curbishley isn't involved.

[Cripps_orig]

Glenn Hoddle now

[Flavs]

Yeah it looks odds on to be Glen Hoddle with Ray Wilkins as his assistant. £20mil transfer budget as well

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Close.

Sean O'Driscoll appointed.

Hardly the "iconic name" they wanted.

[Cripps_orig]

Isnt he that Irish rugby player?

[GP]

Close.

Sean O'Driscoll appointed.

Hardly the "iconic name" they wanted.

Literally no one has ever heard of him.

[Flavs]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18919341

Makes sense in the short term, great coach and hugely respected by the players and fans. I think they wanted Redknapp but he wouldnt come so they have stuck with this for now.

Arsenal legend Chris Kiwomya is managing Notts County
