Podcasts, Blogs, and Youtube

[Marco Pascolo]

I was going to watch a couple of Spurs preview podcasts yesterday but when I clicked on them the guest was Wolfie which I couldn't clicked stop on fast enough. I can't understand why anyone would want that turd on. The other had Dore on, and whilst he seems like a nice chap, he's thick as mince and it's always a tough watch.

What Matt has done well on FF is to fairly consistently have good guests on. His regulars are likeable characters, the sort you'd happily sit and have a pint with who have a fairly decent knowledge. The only guest I really struggle with is the young American lass. She seems really lovely, but her football knowledge is so bad it brings nothing to the table and I switch off when she's on.

Fully agree anything that has FFTV lot on i never watched cant stand any of them and only jumped on the bandwagon when we went up and i know that cause that woif guy was on Dore when he did call ins in the run up to the promotion and i cant watch Dore no more it was frustrating, Yeah the American lass seems lovely but i know what you mean but even like Seb Hutchinson and Adam Summerville are great guests on there to, And i watch Forest Alll Over as well just for the bit less serious side, But other than those two i dont watch anything else Forest wise

 

[Trents]

Yeah FF is streets ahead in terms of quality and variety of guests.

I used to think Wolfy at FFTV was putting on an act for the views. Turns out he's just a bit of a dick.

 

[Larry Lansbury]

Just listened to Forest Focus-oppositions view whilst running. I’m not a great runner but FF does make it slightly less painful! But Spurs fan had a laugh bit like Ricky Gervais!

So I was on youtube a minute ago trying to see if anyone had uploaded Steve Coopers comments about us after yesterdays game as I've not seen them and I'd like to.

I search Steve Cooper, set sort by upload date and scroll.

This is one of the videos which I've not watched it's just the title not the video as I'm not giving these twats any money.

WOLFIE ''NUNO IS THE PORTUGUESE STEVE COOPER''

Genuinely nothing but rage for this guy. If I had a revolver with 6 bullets in a room with wolfie and Adolf Hitler. I'd shoot wolfie 6 times. (Apologies if this breaks a rule).

Can't stand the bloke.

What shocks me is that they regularly have 5k views on their vids/livestreams, not all will be Forest fans (theres a weird sub culture of hate watching different streamers of clubs around the league) but even if it was 3,000 Forest fans, that 2900 too many for my liking.

And they're airing the same thoughts on Twitter at times, so its not the rage-bait that is getting them, they're actually agreeing with some of the drivel that comes out of their mouths.

Different generation of fans nowadays i guess

 

[Ashley]

Anyone shitting on either Steve Cooper or Nuno can f'ck right off as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who put up with a quarter of a century of mostly shite prior to Cooper turning the club around and Nuno building on that knows what those two men have done for this club.

No true Forest fan would spout such absolute bollocks.

The funny thing is that we all knew who nuno was prior to his hire here, it shouldn't be surprising the way we play or the decisions he makes mid-game.

Wolfie is a dumbass of the highest order.

I wouldnt be suprised if they are paying for subscriptions on youtube for that many, because surely no one can watch that drivel. i hate them all, from the fake fan and that old git that said he would slap Murillo, hopefully it will slowly die off cause it brings nothing like the other pods

 

[Rzar]

These dramatic fan channels are mainly targeted at opposition fans, they gain followings by going on each others channels in match previews/reviews

Sorry if this offends anyone but the actual Forest fans that are attracted to it are thick & are just like all the regulars he has on his channel. Thankfully I doubt it would offend anyone reading this because I doubt anyone that watches him comes on here.

You’re assuming they can read, which might be a stretch?

Agree- Wolfe is not a Forest Fan. He set up his channel only after we got promoted in order to cash in. His knowledge of the club pre 2022 is very sketchy. He claimed to be a long-standing supporter when interviewed on another You Tube channel answering Forest history questions from preprepared notes at this side! He is a fraud and should be boycotted.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

I tried watching one of their streams once, lasted about five minutes, just a bunch of thick twats shouting nonsense over each other

Forest Focus, on the other hand, puts out some great content

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Although I do wish they'd bin off Gary Birtles, the guy was a legend as a player but he doesn't half talk some utter garbage

A few weeks ago he was on and was asked several times about Forest's chances of making the Champions League and he kept banging on about how he'd watched Rory McIlroy win the Masters at the weekend

 

[Monkman]

"Brian Clough used to tell me, distract defenders with chat about Greg Norman"

Join us as a Birtles Bingo-er , it makes it less annoying. The thrill of getting all four corners or a line is only beaten by playing the joker and gambling on a Michael Temps triple of "diag" " top bins" and " half space"

 

[Rzar]

People are harsh on Birtles, he is alright, at least he doesn’t ramble on for ages.

I must admit I am losing interest in episodes with Pete Blackburn, he’s a nice guy but he takes so long to answer everything. I just end up zoning out when he takes 5-10 minutes to answer a simple question.

Mark has become the best guest, he should pull up some stats on average question answer time. Him + Fletch are my gold standard.

 

[Monkman]

I like Pete Blackburn. Yeah he talks a lot but he's passionate and he's usually bang on. I like Mark S, Temps and Greg too fwiw. McGugan is too dour.

Agree with this. I don't Birtles banging on about the good old days under Cloughie, I actually quite like to hear those stories. Pete Blackburn, means well and a nice guy I'm sure, but my god I find him a boring listen.

My favourite is still Red Side of the Trent, knowledgeable local lads and a good listen, although I don't always agree with their views.

Yeah Pete's far from the worst on there. Quite enjoyed this mini rant after Brentford:

Also agree with McGugan, always looks miserable. Birtles has certainly got better. Still can't stand him on any co-comms though.

 

[isaacs]

Agreed about Mark, he's always the one person i'm hoping to see in a post match defeat or win. He doesn't follow a "formula" because he does bring his knowledge of stats and the little details that the majority of us miss to the fore with a little less binary thinking.

He left his main podcast and was hoping he would be doing Forest full time but i guess he's found some sort of role within football itself? Either way good for him.

Don't forget Lewis McGugan's 'That's the reality of football' or any other derivatives of that statement, Greg saying 'Brilliant!' like Paul Whitehouse on The Fast Show and Matt saying 'Hmmm', 'Yeah' or 'Good stuff, good stuff' after someone talks for a while and he wants to move on to his next point rather than engaging them any further.

Kind of my point about Pete, he is okay - he just rambles too much! That rant lasted for 7 minutes! He could be giving a Churchillian speech but I just end up zoning out.

Temps to me either sounds like he's reading his answers out or in a job interview.

Haha, you got me with the half space one, I was genuinely drinking a coffee and had to gulp it back so that I didn't spray it out. He loves that one.

I really like Temps but he's your typical "blue sky thinking, run it up the flagpole, let's touch base, circle back, deep dive, take it offline" corporate jargon bollox speaker. I've always hated that bullshit and regularly call it out in meetings with pretentious twats.

Most people won't know what the half space is unless they've been on their UEFA courses or spoken to footballers themselves and Temps knows that. He's just using it to sound more football intelligent but he doesn't need to, he does understand the game and better than your average fan.

Cut the jargon Temps, you're better than that.

Emily Anderson is not one I look forward to either. I'm sure she is a lovely lady and passionate about Forest but I dont think I've ever listened to anything she has said and thought "oh yeah good point I'd never thought of that". Whereas with some of the others like Mark, Temps and some of the ex players I do. He does sound like he is in a job interview though I agree!
