Forest fan - 20th April, we need to do something

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Forest fans showed themselves for what they are. Scabs to the core. Why on earth would anyone chose to stand shoulder to shoulder with scabs in a fight? When people show you who they really are. You best believe them.

Thanks pal, from a toffee.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

If there is one match I am looking forward to as an Everton fan this season - and there isn't -

Best line, (and additional dependant clause) of the thread.

 

[allen]

This thread has gone predictably well, I see.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Welcome mate.

the boss set the tone on this thread didn’t he

Absolutely shameless expecting us to stand in solidarity after trying to call us cheats literally a few months ago

 

[Bazlar]

Now they want solidarity? GTF. Bunch of scabs that laughed about this till it effected them. With allies like that who needs enemies.

They wouldn't know the meaning of the word "solidarity"

Followed by anti-scouse/poverty songs.

... but in the real world, Nottingham is ranked 1st as the poorest city in the whole UK (Household income/2023).

Nottingham named poorest place in the country

Despite it being the worst ranked region, Nottingham showed one of the largest GDHI per head increases in 2020

But forget that almost every factory and Union sent them food parcels every week

Bet your sorry you started this thread

Maybe have enough points earned by then so that we don't care about Forest.

or maybe not

Not going to bore you with the details of our FFP case and I must admit I can only go off what I've read online with regards to your current predicament. I think most Forest fans will happily admit that we spent frivolously and we were a little naive. However, we have a very ambitious owner and given that there was huge gap to make up in the step up to the Premier League, there was always a danger we would fall foul of the rules. The alternative is to not invest and have a Sheffield United type season.

There's also no point arguing over who should have more points taken off; it doesn't really make sense that you had 6 and we had 4; but we all know the FFP bosses make the rules up as they go.

One point that we can all agree on is that the current rules and the future rules simply protect the cartel and the so called 'bigger' clubs. Everton and Forest are two proper old fashioned English clubs; both steeped in a rich history with excellent fans... and also have a shared hatred to another team who play in red!

We have an opportunity on 20th April to do something; whether it be a mutual banner, a protest on a certain minute of the game... something that can unite both set of fans and send a message to the PL. I know it will make no difference, but we have to do something for the game we all love. As a side note, it will actually be my first trip to Goodison, so looking forward to the game and hoping that Luton just fade away, so neither team has anything to worry about.

you called us everything now you wanna hold hands?

leg it

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Scum. Pure scum.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

After all they crap they pulled, now they want to hug, kiss, hold hands and sing Kumbaya together?! So not content with being horrible, cringeworthy scabs, they're also so unbelievably hypocritical that's nauseating. What an embarrassment of a club and fanbase.

 

[RomanReigns]

instead of z-cars we should come out to this

Good post but it may have come too late for at least one of us. I said a few weeks ago that other clubs should’ve backed us to make this nonsense go away but they did nothing. Some clubs were interested in the possibility of suing us. The game is in a mess, Reading are desperate for a buyer but what’s the point in anyone buying them when even if they get promoted to the PL they won’t be able to adequately invest to stay there.
