Preferably at the start of the season I guess, but the confirmation date is September the 1st I believe.
I'm not even sure if Forest will be carrying over any numbers from the Championship days, and some of you might know better on that, but I'm making my own guess based on deciding new numbers...
I thought since I did a Pointless version a while back, I'd open a thread with a little quiz based on the TV show on the other side (though not at the same time) - Tenable.
For those who haven't seen it, contestants have to provide the answers to questions about 'top 10', 'first 10', 'only 10'...

Not sure how I ended up with Cantona really. I guess the questions about wearing collars up and drinking Kronenbourg, but I clearly said I never jump into crowds and kick people (those aren't actually questions to be honest....but I did end up with...
I'm not talking about a deep-lying playmaker, but Pep the manager who is almost like a disciple of Johan Cruyff in the way he goes about management and was clearly hugely influenced and inspired by being a player under him, in the Dream Team era...
I managed to get all the way through on the 6th attempt, so I guess someone can beat that (or fluke it on first attempt as it's not only about knowledge when you don't yet know the questions!)

This one is not who was the best player but who turned in the better display on the chosen day....
Videos helpful but maybe not necessary for games everyone ought to know if the video hasn't been made (sometimes there might be highlights or the full game though I guess):
Fernando Redondo vs...
Firstly, I know that he might want more than £10k a week if he's getting interest from the USA etc.
Secondly, I know he's been injured for ages and Forest have been having too many cases of that recently.
But, just to put it out there - could it potentially be a masterstroke to sign a player...
As with the other thread, feel free to pick up to 10 goals (and exactly 10 is ideal).
Those getting the most votes (or maybe any votes) will go into another poll, with others from 1898 to 1990/91.
Here is the main thread, started by Francis Benali (on loan)...
Please pick up to 10 choices (exactly 10 is best, but less is ok if you want to participate but don't have as many as 10 in mind to vote for).
Those getting the most votes (or maybe any votes) will go into another poll, with others from 1991/92 to 2014/15.
Here is the main thread, started by...
I'm abstaining from voting here, but I thought it would be interesting at this point (even though there might be similar threads from a while ago) to ask people who they'd put in a Forest XI from players who've played since 2000.
I think picking two teams would be interesting. Team A being the...

I thought I'd go for a Forest version. Thought about using Forest Banter section but I think here is ok again. The bridportred...
*Main rule, as always with these quizzes - no looking at Wikipedia etc (you're only cheating yourselves!:redcard:)
Based on the popular TV show, but all questions football related:
I'll set a topic, and your answer scores between 0 and 100 points (less is better, and 100 points for an incorrect...
Nice piece on the pleasures of watching Robbo, and the experience of being the opposing full-back:

I noticed this selection by Jim McInally (former Forest right back - when forest forever's Youtube videos were viewable there were some highlights of a game vs Ipswich where IIRC he assisted a goal - I remember the name but not so much the player from my early days watching Forest)...
Since any discussion about All-Time Forest teams would usually lead to the first choice team being picked in a 4-4-2 and probably most people picking at least 7 or 8 of the same players, I thought we could have a go using various different formations - juct pick the best team you think suits the...
Two part question:
Which signing for Forest in the past had you the most excited (when hearing the news, not when they started playing)? Which players might be among the top 3 or 4 for excitement levels?
and
Which (potentially realistic at least, but could be subject of an ambitious attempt)...
I'll kick-off with Haway in a Manger for Newcastle.
I'm sure there will be improvements, and some with more edgy banter....
Only Premier League though, so no 'When a Sheep is Born' or whatever for Derby.
Feel free to add some lyrics though (Alf might have a good one up his sleeve after his...
I think this belongs in here rather than Forest banter, Forest transfers etc (cos it's not exactly going to happen!, and it's about other teams players).
Which player would you choose and why (best player?, most effective in current Forest team?, one of the best but chosen for style of play...
If Forest are keeping on with the diamond, and he's not being picked in midfield would it be worth giving him a try as a roaming support striker or just as one of two general purpose forwards?
Is it too early to say?
If it happens, is he benefitting from other clubs struggles?
Have Arsenal got a decent chance to go very close or win the Champions League even?
Is Ozil going to be the difference that means they don't drop off in the second half of the season like a few years ago (the...
