    Olympiacos Thread

    The first team in football is in the semi-finals of the Conference League; our U19 in football are in the semi-finals of the European Youth League; the basketball team is in the round of 8 in Euroleague; the men's volleyball team reached the quarter-finals of the CEV cup (the only team of my...

    Well, we beat West Ham in October.

    He's 21. He greatly benefited from the return of our very good goalkeeper coach (who had spent some time at Forest).

    The European Football thread!

    First time in the semi-finals of a European competition. We have come very close in the past for a number of times and luck was not on our side. Tonight it was.

    After one of the most ridiculous mistakes of a keeper at this level. https://x.com/migosi_M/status/1781029424021795168

    Vila managed a goal minutes before the final whistle. It will go on overtime as it stands.

    Well, you may have to wait until the 2025-2026 season, when Forest will improve England's coefficient.

    'Good' football club owners

    As I've repeated more than once, a good owner is someone who leaves a club in a better overall position (status, financial situation, fan feeling, etc.) than the one he inherited. In other words, for most current owners, it's too soon to tell. The only good owners are dead ones.

    The European Football thread!

    Aston Vila losing 2-0 to Lille at the moment for the Conference League, which means that there will be no British teams in two out of the three European competitions. Which may be three out of three competitions by the end of the night, since Liverpool and West Ham will most likely be eliminated...

    Season Cards 2024/2025

    Were the prices for the season cards for the 2023-2024 announced before or after you had secured staying in the Premier? In my mind, this is an important question.

    Season Cards 2024/2025

    Prices normally go up very little from year to year. The difference (apart from the difference in the two economies of course) is that overall attendance in Greece is dropping steadily, so one cannot really hike prices up too much.

    Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos

    Even if the story were true, the solution would not be trusting sources outside football. Murillo is a freak accident, the exception which proves the rule. There are simply no other players who become 50m players within six months of professional football. The solution for Latin scouting is...

    Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo

    In between the two, the set-piece coach was offered to our then manager, he also refused, and was subsequently fired. We continue to be terrible in set pieces.

    Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo

    The Everton game is, in my view, winnable. You just have to mix things up. Perhaps three in midfield (for the life of me I cannot understand why Domínguez is not a starter), perhaps Montiel who's a better attacking option than brave Williams (who needs a rest), perhaps something else. You need...

    Divock Okoth Origi

    I haven't seen much of Tavares to have an opinion on him, but Origi is by the far your worst and most frustrating player this season (perhaps, but not necessarily, excluding goalkeepers).

    Matchday 33 - Nottingham Forest v Wolverhampton Wanderers. Saturday, 13th April KO 3:00pm

    Ribeiro, in his short cameo, managed to make two wonderful passes. Why Origi and not him?

    Matchday 33 - Nottingham Forest v Wolverhampton Wanderers. Saturday, 13th April KO 3:00pm

    OK, this was very frustrating on so many levels (Origi being one of these levels all by himself). But you still have three easy games at the end, and you're one point above the relegation zone. No despair yet.

    Matchday 33 - Nottingham Forest v Wolverhampton Wanderers. Saturday, 13th April KO 3:00pm

    Origi managed to do four things wrong simultaneously: he did not pass immediately to Wood, he did not shoot, he passed wrongly, and he passed when Wood was already offside.
