Pub life is tough, just cos it's always worked, doesn't mean it always will, and just because it hasn't worked before doesn't mean it won't in the future. Times are a changing kids, gotta change with it or die. Happy Sunday people xx
I often think some
#NFFC
fans have slept for 25 years.
20+ managers couldn't improve its and we had some good uns amoung them.
One guy did,
AND GET THIS
Its only his 5th season managing a league team
And
He's improved EVERY YEAR so far.
So that's why I'm
#CooperIn
Cheers
Nope, as a
#NFFC
fan, I don't want
#DCFC
to go out of business.
Our club is on the up at the minute, but look at some of the shite we've been through.
I genuinely can't think why any decent football fan would like to see another club go under.
As a 50-year-old man, I shouldn't be this excited about my football team.
Be under no illusion, only one person has sparked this reaction.
I'm not expecting to go up or even get past the next round in the cup, but I'm loving our football again

As a

fan, I know I'm not supposed to say this.
BUT.....
If
#LCFC
aren't the blueprint for every football club to follow I dont know what is.
Vichai is owed a huge debt of gratitude, not just by
#Leicester
but the whole of the football world.
This is real football.
No plastic bowl stadium
No multi millionaire Pri-madonnas
No decent sound system
Just a brilliant traditional football stadium

@Morgangibbs27
is in top 3 ever players
Never shirks a challenge
Never hides
Rarely injured
Always creative
100% committed EVERY GAME
I pray he doesn't leave in the summer, (I'd rather lose Marillo)
This is the player we should build a team around
I'll be honest.
Flippin, great match from start to finish.
Ref was great 1st half
Lost control in the 2nd
#BHAFC
is the team we aspire to emulate
#NFFC
are naive at times
Cooper needs to stay
When we lose, fans need to stay off X
That is all.
Bring on Everton next week

@NFFC
Hi Thomas.
You're a good guy, a good egg, and one of those fans I really like.
I'd like to make a donation towards your step daughters ticket if I can please fella.
Times are tough, and I'd like to help if I can.
Just DM bank deets, and I'll do the rest xx
This week is a watershed for
#NFFC
When Cooper goes, that's it.
-We just become another Prem business (not club)
-Constant new unheard of managers
-All sacked on a whim
-No club identity
-Another churn of players who have more power and fewer morals
The club has been united for 18 months.
All down to one man, none of the Greeks
All down to
#SteveCooper
If we sack him, there will be (and should be) riots
#NFFC
My manager.
Cooper has given back to us fans, the ones that have backed and been shafted so many times.
I've barely said this in the last 20 years, but I'm proud of my club and that's down to Stevie Cooper
Just back from

#AVFC
match & whilst the win was great, I'm so impressed with Caiden Storry who played the Last Post pre match in front of 30k people and millions at home
INCREDIBLE from the Villa & Forest players who to a man went over and consoled him
Well done Caiden x
Mr Angry of
#NFFC
Sorry fella but 2 things
1. Its NOT your seat, you rent it for 90 minutes 20 odd times a season
2. If you're so angry about it, why not give it back?
You support the team in the hope they gain promotion, when that happens, this happens
A 🧵
Great news
I am delighted to say
@trickytrees12
has allowed us to pay for Sophies SC for 24/25
Tom, understandably didnt want to take the offer as in his words 'others are in a worse position than him'.
I must admit I almost backed out when I found out Sophie was now 14 🤣
If ever a fan group managed to capture the mood of a fan base
@Forza_Garibaldi
managed it today.
Well done, guys.
You absolutely spoke for me and everyone else around me.
#NFFC
Guys.
Remember, this isn't
#WWFC
It's a tiny minority or individuals who still think it's the 70s.
Regardless of club, we should stand united to eradicate all ism's
Lets not forget, every club has their neanderthals
#NFFC
The club is aware of an allegation of racial abuse directed towards Morgan Gibbs-White from an away supporter at Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Nottingham Forest strongly condemns racism and all other forms of discrimination.
We will continue
Season I've hated the most.
I loved league one, but, yes
@premierleague
is where you need to be.
Good luck today
#NFFC
and as Cloughy would say to us fans
#BeGood
Genuinely devastated if he's gone.
I've no issue with those who want him to go, I just don't agree.
Cooper has been the best manager we've had in decades,a complete class act.
I'll get behind Nuno, but I'll be forever thankful to
#SuperCooper
After 30+ years in hospitality, I can honestly say that being really impressed with venues is happening more & more
One of the best is
@TrentNavigation
WHAT A VENUE.
Great day yesterday rounded off with a
@RickParfittJnr
gig that had the place rocking.
Thanks guys
#NFFC
Last night at 9.50pm we had 48 people all distanced, respectful and happy, no drunks, shouting or loutish behaviour. At 10.02pm they were all on the street chatting & no doubt annoying our neighbours.
How on earth is this right?
48 lovely people chucked out like yobs,
Appalling
People need to realise
- Wearing masks isn't my rule.
- Signing in isn't my rule.
- Making you sit down isn't my rule.
- Stopping you sitting with 6 other mates isn't my rule.
- Stopping you having a sing song isn't my rule.
-Stopping you approaching the bar isn't my rule
My feeling is Marinakis isn't used to having someone far more popular than him at an organisation, with SC not picking up results but still having massive support. It must wind him up a little.
You can't knock his investment or the fear of losing a fortune, so it's catch 22
#NFFC
Some of the comments against Cooper on here are eye watering.
There's nothing like this on Cloughy who DID actually take us down.
I'll forever wish him well (and love BC as well)
#NFFC
As you know, I'm a big
#NFFC
fan.
Love the club, The history, most fans
But by god, we have such a victim mentality on this platform
Every club are tin pot and don't like us
EPL hates us
Refs are against us
Its all not fair
Blimey, we'll be in therapy if we don't stay up 🤣
Cooper made a mistake, but feck me, you
#NFFC
fans don't half over react.
We are now that team that fans think we are better than we think we are.
Oh well, my tweet will change nothing, but I'm a
#NFFC
fan first
#Forest
fan next
And Finally,,#
Chilled and happy
I'm seeing some Forest fans calling out
#AVFC
#LCFC
#EFC
#AFC
plus others for PSR breaches.
If we all suffer, rather than call them out, shouldn't we join up and change the rules??
Regardless of what we've spent,
#SteveCooper
isn't just our best signing. He is one of the most decent, honest, classiest employees in years
Look at classless owners, managers & players we've had over the years
Regardless if we go down, football (&
#NFFC
) need men like Steve
Once again thank you
@Callum_shaw
@The_Colonel1978
and
@MattNFFC1
You truly are wonderful people.
Finally
Sophie & Tom, enjoy going to the games together and hope to catch up with you soon
Now, lets get 3 points at Everton
YOU REDS 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
I don't know how many saw it, but after the game Lodi was visibly upset on the edge of the area, Cooper went and had a word, pulled him in, and had a reassuring word.
That's the manager I want leading my team.
Almost 10 years
@BlackHorseLE2
.
In that time we`ve met some of the most brilliant people,
#Leicester
is a fab City and they have some of the most amazing pubs.
Proud to be part of the super supportive
@Everards1849
family.
Look for the positives people.
#LifeIsGreat
Big game tonight,
#NFFC
.
I'm probably wrong, but I think this game determines our season.
Win- the fight continues
Lose- we're down
Draw- we're down
Would love to see 4 points from tonight and Saturday.
In Cooper we trust.
It's never nice to see what's happening in
#Nottingham
A quick trawl through Twitter shows how uncaring and self entitled some people are.
Let the emergency services do their job and hope everyone remains safe x
Absolutely devastated
Tested positive for Covid at possibly the worse time ever, we are testing EVERY shift are wearing masks and even I know we are at risk
We`ve got to live with this people, Ill be out of action for 10 days, be wonderful to Sarah & Colleen & the team
#BeKind
Some
#NFFC
fans are bloody weird.
Grown men and women moaning they didn't go to a...... wait for it...........
Launch of a new kit.........
Weird weird people.
Hope these people can't get any memberships and aren't season card holders.
OK, the very last thread on
#NFFC
&
#SteveCooper
I PROMISE..
Cooper to me was a throw back to when football had standards & morals and not every bad run ended with the sack (maybe its always been that way, but I chose to remember differently).
Just had a visit from

EHO. Judy was informative, helpful and gave us some fab guidance re Covid guidelines.
Fabulous when we all work together.

fan, I am in awe of what Vichai & Top have created (and dont forget Susan Whelan), they are a credit to the football & business world.
Leicester are very lucky to have them.
I just don't get
#NFFC
fans triggered by journalists/publications & their stories.
I remember the same people slating Don Goodman & Chris Sutton on comms
Here's an idea
Don't read it. Just scroll on by, get your info from Dave in Bulwell
Some people need to just chill out
This morning we had our last walk in her favoured place
#AylestoneMeadows
Said goodbye to her friends before we had to let her go on her final journey.
@PubDogLE2
you have brought us more joy than we thought possible, and a lifetime of memories we'll cherish.

The comments on here regarding
Owner
Chairman
Daniel Taylor
Rushcliffe & City Council
Are scandalous.
Like it or not,
#NFFC
is a business. The owner wants to maximise potential (& profit)
Have an opinion by all means, but some of the language is pure trolling & bullying
I HATE the manager churn, especially at Forest, but if I were Marinakis, I'd be replacing Nuno the second we are mathematically safe.
Sorry guys, he's done nothing for me.
I worked in hospitality, it was called that because we looked after & were hospitable to our guests.
Now I work in a rules factory, it's no longer fun, customers are fearful of doing something wrong & staff are fearful they will get the pub in trouble if they do something wrong.
When will
@BorisJohnson
let
#Leicester
know when we can open?
A) Monday, to give us time to prepare.
B) 17th, telling us we can open the following day.
C) Give us another 2 weeks in the naughty chair.
D) He will forget because its only Leicester.
These are frustrating times.
Marinakis or Cooper?
Can't we have both?
Maybe it's time to sit down and compromise and put realistic targets in place.
Together, they could be incredible
Come on guys, get together, unite this club and city again.
#NFFC
The contempt that
#LeicesterLockdown

FOUR WEEKS behind the rest of the country.

Things that come out of it for me
1. Surprisingly, it's good
2. It is very honest
3. He could have sugar-coated it, he didn't.
4. For the 1st time, I like Posh spice.
5. As a country, we are bullies
I love

Reading lots of love for

Remember this when another home-grown defender leaves, a Forest fan who bursts with pride whenever he wore the garibaldi.
Same level of respect would be the minimum he deserves

Good luck Steve Cooper.
In my opinion, he would have struggled to find a better club.
Good setup, non erratic owners, and working with a smaller squad.
Wish him all the luck in the world. exept when he plays us and as long as they finish below us.
Fab 10 days off relaxing and getting our heads back together.
Toughest 6 months I think we've ever had, now lets get back to work and fight whatever this shit-show of a world has to throw at us.
Together we are (almost) invincible.
Peace out beauties ✌️
Dons tin hat.
I thought the Marinakis interview was very good, totally unexpected.
Yeah, he came over really well, and NOTHING in there that was unexpected.

See you Sunday COYRs
So stop fecking moaning, I dont want 2 implement these rules, I didn't make these rules, stop moaning that we're spoiling ya fun because WE AREN'T.
Seriously people, ya think I'm in hospitality for this s**t?
In it together? Are we bollox, amazing how we've become the bad guys.
West Bridgford was absolutely packed post match yesterday.
I'm sure they'll be some sore heads and heavy tills today.
If anyone doubts the importance hospitality to the economy, yesterday could provide a few answers.
And what a bloody match as well

Bet you'll be first on the Cooper out when he loses 3 games on the trot.
Look at other players (and Yates will be one of em), play 100s of games for us but will always be a target.
Osborn, Gemmill, Chet the list goes on.
But you'll cream ya self for a Carvalho
To everyone on my timeline, thank you for allowing me to spam your feeds yesterday, having a read through everyone else's messages it looks like lots of us older ones were as emotional as each other.
