Cellino's to do list over the international break.
1) sign up Pontus.
2) sign up Pontus.
3) sign up Pontus.
4) sign up Pontus.
5) sit back and relax knowing that we are far more likely to gain promotion now that we have signed Pontus.
6) tell Eleonora there's no way she's going out in a skirt that short.
7) let her off because she's meeting Pontus.

Looks like you missed the last few steps Horrorspoke, don't worry i've got your back.
8) Realise in all the excitement over Pontus that he forgot to thrash out a deal to sign Bartley.
9) Signs Bartley.
10) Pours himself a large drink because he deserves one after all the good work.
2.) 06 Oct 2016 13:18:55
So do you think Cellino should sign Pontus then, Horrorspoke?
3.) 07 Oct 2016 15:27:09
Pontus has to play 20 games then we can buy him for 3.6 million.
So that's 1-5 sorted.
We do need to sign Bartley, i'd love that.
Best signing of the season (besides Gary Monk) for me is O'Kane.

So, Forest agree on deal with Chelsea and Delap. £50m. That's an insane outlay. He's probably worth half that, and that's based on his season with Ipswich in the prem, not last season. Very glad we didn't make a move on that one.
1.) 25 Aug 2026 20:03:47
Delap did well at Ipswich.. Wouldn't surprise me if he starts banging them in for Forest like Chris Wood does/did.
Question is, would Forest fans prefer Delap at a premium, or Forest sign no striker at all within next 7 days?
Believe me, it's very likely the latter.
2.) 25 Aug 2026 20:47:54
The former I'd say Baz.
3.) 25 Aug 2026 21:28:02
Yep, I meant to say the 'former 'Corkey. Got my formers and latters mixed up.

Seen a lot of sad news on here from people recently.
My sister passed away, York city centre in November (10 years younger than me too) . Then last month my grandmother passed. She brought me up as my mum was only 14 when she had me. Also lost a couple of friends from high school in the last few weeks. And my best mates partner passed away from brain cancer 2 weekends ago. Oddly, I hadn't been to a funeral since I was about 8, and I've been to so many the past few months it's ridiculous! My thoughts go out to everyone!
On a positive note, I believe that's the best I've seen us play in so long I can't even remember. Every part of the pitch, front to back. Commitment, belief, it was just fantastic.
Yes I know there are players who won't cut it. But we were one today, and I accept it. It literally was a joy to behold.
(And don't have a go at Baz too much, he's okay really)
1.) 28 Apr 2025 23:19:31
Horrorspoke! Long time no hear bud.
And my condolences for your sad losses of family and friends.
Aafor the footbal.
yesss in many ways this was our most complete performance of seaaon!
Great that you are back Horrorspoke! . as just in tine for your customary vote for Baz for Poster of the Season!
2.) 29 Apr 2025 06:10:28
Really sorry to hear about your losses Horror. Never a god time to lose our nearest and dearest.
3.) 29 Apr 2025 06:42:26
Sorry to hear that mate.
4.) 29 Apr 2025 07:08:09
What a chunk of bad luck. Condolences mate.
5.) 29 Apr 2025 08:44:40
Well said Horror, touching post all round.
6.) 29 Apr 2025 11:36:50
So sorry. You’ve had an awful time recently. Stay strong.
04 Oct 2024 22:31:42
I'm sorry but I'm fed up of the hating on Mez. He had a good game, and that bounce is one in a million. It happens and I don't pin any blame on him. He has his weaknesses but that one, tonight, is just one of those things.
Plusses? Tanaka and Rothwell are able deputies, and we dominated large spells of the game. Could have been out of sight before half time with better finishing.
Another plus was Bamford not getting on the pitch. Love the guy, but it would have killed our style of play.
We deserved more than a draw, but I would have taken it pre-kick-off, and especially after the first 15 mins.
Oh, and give Aaronson a break. He didn't have to come back, he could have forced another loan, or even a move permanently. He's giving everything, and he'll learn.
1.) 04 Oct 2024 22:53:26
He's a car crash waiting to happen whether that's palatable to you or not, he can't catch or punch good or even save a pen now again.
2.) 04 Oct 2024 23:00:30
Paragraph 1 is a complete crock of sh$&.
3.) 04 Oct 2024 23:09:59
Well said Horror. Firpo, Aarason and Gnonto arguably been our best players this season. I agree it wasn’t Aarason’s best game tonight, but still ran his socks off and disrupted a lot of their play.
4.) 04 Oct 2024 23:25:37
Gelderd - 1970 - I'm not sticking up for Mez, I'm saying he's being unfairly pointed out as a poor keeper. He is by FAR the best keeper in this division. Stats do not lie.
5.) 04 Oct 2024 23:26:23
What Gelderd and 1970 said.
6.) 05 Oct 2024 00:09:34
stats from the Beano or the Dandy?
Stats last year had him in 17th in Champo
its a mediocre Champo league though including most gks and facts remain Mes has soooo many weaknesses.
14 Aug 2024 22:32:58
I don't regularly post, but I'm always here and reading. Tonight was unacceptable, regardless of the competition. I do believe there will be calls for Farke to go based on the performance and result. We have players capable, both technically and physically, of playing a high tempo game, and yet, I never witness it.
I note Farke has tried to alter the formation slightly, which has not worked either.
The issue I have currently, is that I'm not sure who is out there capable of doing a better job. The calibre of manager we should be looking at will likely not drop down to the championship based on name and history alone.
A little side note. I'm baffled with the 5 subs tonight in one go. I wouldn't not want the so called "star" players coming on and having to deal with the ignimony of a defeat which was inevitable. Save them, keep them fresh and unleash on WBA. I just don't get it (ad I've been one to berate Farke on his lack of bench use in the past) .
Final point. I care not, about the League (as it should be called) Cup.

Welcome back.

Gotta be Igor Tudor, for me. So much smarter tactically than DF could ever dream of.
28 Jun 2023 20:52:45
Hi guys.
Thanks for the kind words Baz, before I begin.
Just wanted to say I am a mega Leeds fan, I have posted before but a heck of a long time ago. I'm angry with how things have turned out. I'm angry that Bielsa was given so little respect (let us not forget that the upturn in results coincided with the return of many of the first tram which were unavailable to him due to injury) .
I'm angry that Radz dare to try and use ER in collateral for the purchase of Sampdoria. It goes without saying really.
I'm angry that Orta was allowed to carry on for so long in his role, recrutijg players and having a say in managerial recruitment.
However. I do believe that we may have a new beginning. It's a bunch of American folk, I can deal with that. They have the funds. If they want a return on investment then they're bot going to let us languish here.
Anyway, that's my rant. And I hope it's Farke.
1.) 28 Jun 2023 21:52:48
Welcome back Horror. I think many of us on here echo those sentiments.
2.) 28 Jun 2023 23:15:03
Welcome back brother Horrorspoke ?
Good post the most pertinent being your penultimate paragraph.
Season 24/ 25 though not this forthcoming season 23/ 24
Its looking like a bumpy hard slog ahead this season ; we might come strong second half of season after a hopefully strong Jan. window
Defo hope its Farke too . but when for gawd sake?!
3.) 28 Jun 2023 23:19:18
P. S. I also concur with your dislike and distaste of Radz and Orta
I hope they bomb with Sampdoria and Sevilla respectively
And as for another one of my dislikes. the EFL. well.
4.) 28 Jun 2023 23:56:52
Welcome back Pal, the more the merrier be great if we could have more posters than Leeds investors this season.
I wonder how many regular posters there are on this Site, sure the Ed’s can confirm but I’d guess at around 20-25?
But again, welcome back, Woody would be icing on the cake for the new season?

Wot Class said!

I'm actually friends with charlie's father in law (although he's not married, he's been with her for a while) and he's said that charlie is staying. I quite often see these posts about charlie Taylor, and I don't reply, but he IS staying (there was also a bid from man utd in the close season, and it was refused at charlie's request)
Is this the same McCormack people started moaning about last season? One minute he isn't good enough, the next minute he should be worth 2.5 mil?? Gimee a break!
Byram could well become our 'Gareth Bale', and nobody wants to see him leave. But it would take one hack of a brave board to turn down £8m.
While we are moving in the right direction though I think we should manage to keep hold of him. For now.
04 Oct 2024 23:25:37
Gelderd - 1970 - I'm not sticking up for Mez, I'm saying he's being unfairly pointed out as a poor keeper. He is by FAR the best keeper in this division. Stats do not lie.
04 Oct 2024 22:51:03
Class we don't need a keeper, I'll tell you what the weak link is. It's Rodon. Another player I like and who gives his all, but he is not a stand out defender. Struijk is by far our best, as is Mez as keeper. The issues we have IMO are in centre midfield.
30 Aug 2024 17:37:02
Personally, I feel that a natural number 10 is the difference between battling for a top two spot, and pretty much guaranteeing one. I'd have also preferred Sallai over Hamer.
14 Aug 2024 22:36:32
I believed he was tactically apt. And now I'm very unsure. Losing in the Caraboa is of no significance to me. Losing in that manner on the other hand, definitely is.
14 Aug 2024 22:34:42
Rare poster, but I came here to (unfortunately) concur.
