The Relegation Dogfight 24/25

[SouthManchesterTree]

Yeh no rivalry mate as others have said. Actually if they were to dominate English football and win the champions league I’d applaud them.. but, no rivalry. Their ego’s try to create a rivalry but honestly they’re a nothing club, shit fans, shittest stadium, terrible atmosphere. These are just facts..zero rivalry

Zero rivalry is a stretch.

Those of us from South of Trent Bridge can’t stand them - even more so than Derby.

Derby obviously Forest’s main rivals by far though

There are plenty of Forest fans in Leicester border territory towns like Melton and Loughborough wearing their colours at the moment and loving life.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

Ipswich have started picking up the odd win now, it could get really nasty down at the bottom, I wouldn't be too confident of Everton avoiding another drop. They can't score on a brothel and you can't always win games 1-0.

Glad we are out of this nonsense.

 

[Quntib Hollox]

It’s just nice watching other teams stress over it. We can genuinely relax and just try to enjoy the rest of the season. I think our current points tally would get us 16/17th comfortably.

I visit my stepmother each week to take her shopping, and I have asked that we go to the supermarket in Melton rather than Oakham, just so I can wear something Forest-y and gather as many dirty looks as possible!

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

We are already sitting 1 point shy of the best effort of the last 3 Premier league campaigns.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

It's not even up for debate

We're safe.

 

[Bonfy177]

We're safe.

I’ve thought 34 points for long enough and I’m still convinced that will still be the case.

To be honest Rosie,with it being Melton the dirty looks are probably because you don't need to find gloves with 6 fingers on each hand rather than the top.

They do nice pies though and I quite like Twinlakes.

The total seems to be getting lower as tim goes on, probably because of the ever-widening gulf between the Championship and the Premier League

We're not getting relegated. We're not even finishing in the bottom half of the table.

It's not arrogance - the only pertinent question this season in relation to Forest is will we finish in a European spot

And the other question is will success be measured by who finishes higher in our respective divisions , any lurking derby fans can answer that one.

Still a classic.

My hatred runs deep for Leicester having lived and/or worked there for the past 54 years. I've got friends and in-laws that are Leicester fans but as football fans in general they're supporters are a vile bunch, hateful and deluded to the extreme. Certainly made my younger years tough when we were winning everything.
@Cloughie1975 is right too, they were just as much rivals as Derby were back in the day.

I'll be f***ing delighted if they get relegated and even more so if the EFL deduct another 10 pts before they start next season. C***s !!

I’m with the Doc on this one, can’t stand em

 

[chaospunx]

I'm not arsed about them at all these days and actually towards the end of there prem wining season i wanted them to win it just because it was different much my hatred for them was the few years before and after the alan Rodgers boost bar game oh and them pipping us to a playoff place

 

[valspoodle]

They did a prediction on SSN before the EFL games yesterday and three out of the four pundits present (Daws was on EFL duty, but they didn't ask him) thought Forest would be in European places come the end of the season. Our stock has risen, previously they would not even have mentioned us.

 

[Green Jumper]

Due to reaching the traditional 40 point mark, I'm declaring we are officially safe from relegation.

Nottingham Forest Are Premier League for 2025/26

 

[Doctor Gonzo]

It has to be time for the move…

 

[acrobat]

Move along nothing to see here.

 

[Baronvon]

Think we're safe now lads.

 

[TrentEndDr]

40 points done, close the thread

 

[ubik]

I nudged the bar up to 40 points but we've hit the bar running, so I'll accept we're not going down.

So who is? Southampton look doomed, but above them it's volatile. I'd love to see Leicester and Everton go down.

 

[Steve Chettles Brylcream]

40 points done, close the thread

We did it guys

 

[marshal99]

southampton in danger of beating derby's premier league record. west sham , everton , ipswich and leicester to fight it out for the remaining 2 spots.

I think all Ipswich need is a goalie and they'll stay up. Muric has cost them so many points & whilst their problems aren't all down to him they'd be just enough points better off that they'd be a few places higher.

As for us, I am not going to say it out loud but I feel we might be in this league next season.
