Opposition fan comments: Forest v Everton

[HBB]

HBB says: Strangely calm and reasonable on the Toffee's board pregame. Most hoping for a draw. They never really thought the win was on even as we underperformed. At the final whistle after the jubilation subsided they were surprisingly gracious, I suppose you'd say, in the main as they noted it was a win against the team in third. Oh well boys and girls, onward ever onward.

We owe these for Goodison. Blows my mind just how head-and-shoulders better than us they looked that day..

Absolutely disgraceful that Forest and Villa have made Champions League before us. How many English clubs have made the CL now? Leeds, Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Blackburn, Newcastle, Villa, Chelsea, City, Leicester, and now bloody Forest? When are we going to start living up to the "big club" tag? That said, well done Forest.

We’re beating these and singing "champion league you're having a laugh"

It will be a tough game, I still think people think it’s only Forest so it won’t be too hard. Forest won’t get the credit they deserve until the end of the season.

(0-0) That's just good old fashioned defending.(Branthwaite shoulder)

Think I'm going to go a find some wet paint to watch dry.

How is this Forest side 3rd? Just goes to show how bad the PL is

We are 15th.....

Only letting 10 in at home helps

We can take these. Nothing special so far

Refs been forests best player, ndiaye getting battered and giving nothing, joke.

(H-T) Good half, one of our best this season I think - considering we’re away at a very good side.

Forest won't play as bad as that in the 2nd half

To be fair to Moyes he's set the team up tactically to take away Forests counter attacking strength.

Blah Blah ....

(0-1) Cracking finish

100% deserved

(F-T) Commentator just said "the unlikeliest of one nil wins" - we've battered them what's he on about

Comfortably the better team, forest have been a purple patch team and without a great window will be bottom half next season

Couldn’t have happened against a worse set of horrible scumbag supporters.

We were by far the better team. Well deserved win. How bad is the league that these are 3rd in the league.

Played the alleged third best team in the country off the pitch. If we hadn't had half a season of Dyche we'd be right in the Euro mix.

Magnificent win. Better side from start to finish away to a side having a wonderful season.

How are these 3rd?? They offered nothing at home against team just out of the relegation zone.

They've been brilliant all season, can't deny that.

Absolutely deserved that one. Forest isn’t all that.

We deserved that on the day. We severely lack quality up top and I'm sure there's an element of Forest with one eye on Wembley but full credit to us forcing the issue pretty much all game.

Probably our best performance of the season considering where these are in the league

Smash those red mutants back to the europa league

We deserved that win though, TBF. Forest looked like they were on the beach already.

Top three, you're having a laugh - the RS, Arsenal, Forest, all very poor.

Hope Forest don’t make CL - dirty team.

Credit to Moyes tactically worked them out and they were little or no threat. Fully deserved that at the end.

They've had a bit of a perfect storm of being relatively injury free and other teams not being clinical against them as well as being brilliant on the counter. The way Forest play isn't a blueprint for long term success but if it gets them potentially Champions League and/or the FA Cup this year then absolutely hats off to them.

Next season they will be in Europe and the bottom half al la Dyche's Burnley a few years ago.

Thought forest were well under par today. They have generally been better but in honesty they are overperforming this season.

Winning away at Forrest this season especially is not a small feat, they've been ridiculously solid

You can see Tiredness creeping into Forrest now, question is can they handle it for the next 6-7 games, cause if they lose another and City / Villa win they go 5th then the pressure starts getting ridiculous.

Suppose even getting Europa isn't bad, but to be where they have been all season then to fall at the final hurdle, reminds me of Us lol with the league.

Not unreasonable comments regarding the result and performance. I can see them morphing into their vile neighbours when they move into their shiny new stadium though

 

[valspoodle]

When I did the 92 I rolled up at their ground and asked to see it all. They were very gracious. Said Sid would be along later, could I come back? No probs I said. Then walked over Stanley Park to Liverpool. One look at the hordes of Chinese tourists cinvinced me nothing was going to happen at Anfield. I was right, no luck, and, honestly, they didn't care less.

So I went back to Goodison and with the company of a family from the Wirral (Mum, Dad and very young son), I had a look around the whole ground, courtesy of Sid. Excellent. So, although I begrudge Everton their three points, I still like the club itself. Nice people.

Strange I thought the ref was on their side. Hefailed to book Braithwaite for sticking his shoulder into our guys face then again not booking Harrison for hacking another of our players down. He was booked later so either wouldn't have committed that foul or might have been sent off.

Thanks for the post as ever HBB.

Gotta say I like the Everton Forum - probably the busiest I ever encounter and they're a very decent bunch (there's just one guy who is a standout arsehole) and like LTLF it has the feel of a genuine community rather than just a collection of partisan fans.

Ndayie dived in the box twice looking for a penalty. We got tight to him a few times but no more than they were doing the whole game.

They were constantly kicking the ball away as well. Had all the tricks in the book. Tarkowski constantly in the refs ear as well, no matter where he was on the pitch. Shouldn't have even been playing.

Some of the humour on there whenever I've popped on there in the past isn't a million miles from ours either. As far as Premier League fans go, I'd probably rank them among the better ones.

Cheers HBB..a tough job

That about sums up yesterday. But well done Everton, you deserved more from the game than we did, we were well off it.

That will most likely change if they get a bit of success. It seems to be a trade off, the fact us and Everton have been mediocre for decades has preserved our forums/fanbases somewhat.

Thanks for posting HBB.

Scousers ... tossers whether in red or in blue.

Branthwaite puts shoulder into Jota’s jaw in off the ball assault but we are the dirty team?
Come off it.
Cheers HBB.
BTW, do other fans’ forums do this?
Be interesting to see which of our posts gets “analysed “!

"Refs been forests best player"

Same every week, from every set of fans. It's almost as if supporters only see the decisions that go against them.

 

[Cureboy]

Everton fans can say what they want but the fact is they scraped a victory in the 94th minute against us when we played absolute dog shit. A better team would've beat us comfortably. They will be battling it out for 12th place against Palace in future seasons and that will be deemed success. Wouldn't like to trade places.

No I've never come across anything like our opposition threads. There's very often someone who pays us a visit and reports back a few comments, not verbatim, about the mood and sometimes you get the odd screengrab but it seems to be unique to us

 

[Louth Red]

Thanks HBB

No surprise at their ridiculous comments. It continues the scouse theme.

In my view they came to kick us off the park and used every opportunity to break up play - feigning injury, blatant dives, excessive time wasting, off the ball fouls, the worst blocking at every set piece.

It was a nailed on scoreless draw without the 94th minute error.

The second time since our promotion that away fans acted out of order in the coach park after a late winner - no clues the other was Liverpool last season.

Celebrate an away win by all means but no need for aggro!
