On this week's episode, Mike, Craig, Dan and Callum reflect on opening day defeat after Brentford lost 3-1 against Nottingham Forest. Keith Andrews start to life as head coach was a tough watch. 3-0 down at half-time with next to no cohesion across the pitch has unsurprisingly sparked a fair bit of headloss. We gather to, hopefully, quell some of that. We discuss the lineup, Igor Thiago's performance, and changes for Aston Villa at the Gtech on Saturday. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Héctor Kriok, Óscar Portugal y Jan Seven para analizar todo lo sucedido en la jornada 1 de la Premier League 2025-2026...Comenzando por la victoria apretada, sufrida, extraída de Old Trafford del Arsenal contra un Manchester United refrescado y puede que de nuevo funcional en el día presente; con Diogo Jota en sus corazones presente, el Liverpool y el Bournemouth abrieron el telón de la Premier League 2025-2026 en lo que terminó siendo otra faraónica victoria con gol de Mohamed Salah; con los mismos en total pero ninguno encajado es posible que el Manchester City haya vuelto, que vuelva a ser ese equipo implacable, tras doblegar hasta la derrota al Wolverhampton; al Tottenham le costó un poquito más pero puede que en Mohammed Kudus esté la clave no sólo de ganar partidos sino de hacer bueno a Richarlison en lo que fue una incontestable victoria sobre el Burnley; Aston Villa y Newcastle se pegaron con lo no demasiado que tenían y pues la dinamita mojada tiende a no explotar; pero sí que explotó de júbilo y alegría la afición del Sunderland en su apoteósica victoria de vuelta en la Premier sobre el West Ham; el Fulham rescató de Brighton uno de esos empates que saben a triunfo; el cual fue, con todas las de la ley, del Nottingham Forest sobre el Brentford; pero nadie fue capaz de ganar en el Chelsea-Crystal Palace; en segunda división pasaron muchas cosas, en esa liga que llaman Championship; mientras que en Brasil lo que ocurrió fue una victoria 0-6 del equipo de Coutinho sobre el equipo de Neymar y mucho más.Apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/135103228Además...

Nottingham Forest have made a massive statement, splashing £34m on Swiss winger Dan Ndoye to replace Anthony Elanga. Is this a calculated gamble on a Serie A star or a brilliant piece of business for a tactical rocket? We break down Ndoye's blistering pace, tactical versatility, and why his Euros heroics make him the perfect fit for Forest's high-octane attack. We ask the big question: can he fill Elanga's boots and become the City Ground's new talisman?Nottingham Forest, Dan Ndoye, Anthony Elanga, Premier League transfer, soccer podcast

Stephen Doyle & Brian Kerr are on hand to bring you all of the reaction to what was a disastrous start to life as Brentford boss for Keith Andrews, as they succumbed to an inspired Nottingham Forest performance…The Sunday Kickback on Off The Ball w/ William Hill Ireland

All Whites striker Chris Wood scored twice as Nottingham Forest beat Brentford 3-1 to open their Premier League season with victory.

The final whistle blew at the City Ground, and Brentford fans were left shaking their heads after a disappointing defeat to Nottingham Forest. In this episode, we capture the raw emotion straight from the terraces and the pub, speaking to Bees supporters and Forest fans in the moments that matter most — right after the game and in the hours that follow. There's frustration, debate, and a real sense of questioning of where this team is heading this season although it's early days stillAre Brentford simply undercooked after a stuttering start? Is it a case of being unprepared tactically and mentally for the challenges ahead? Or is there a more worrying truth: that the side might not be good enough to push on this season? We don't hold back, and neither do the fans we spoke to. From dissecting the performance on the pitch to reflecting on squad depth, injuries, and the big tactical calls, this is Brentford analysis as seen and felt from the stands.Join us as we bring you the unfiltered voices of Bees supporters as well as Forest fans' thoughts in thr match — the passion, the criticism, and the love for the club that always shines through, even on tough days like this.

Welcome to Forest Fan TV for a live transfer update on Nottingham Forest! Wolfie takes you through all the latest transfer news, starting with the Reds' high interest in Liverpool left-back Kostas Tsimikas. Reports suggest Forest have conducted due diligence on the 29-year-old, who could be available for £15m as Liverpool look to trim their squad with Milos Kerkez incoming, and Wolfie will explore whether Nuno Espirito Santo can secure this experienced defender to strengthen the left flank ahead of the Premier League and Europa Conference League. Another top target for Forest is AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah, who has once again emerged as a priority signing for the Reds. Available for around €20m, the versatile USMNT star is attracting interest, and with ongoing contacts reported, Wolfie will break down how Musah could fit into the midfield alongside players like Elliot Anderson and Ryan Yates. The transfer window is heating up, and this move could signal Forest's intent to bolster their engine room as they aim for a strong season start.There's also news on an outgoing, with goalkeeper Carlos Miguel reportedly heading out the door after being told to find a new club.

Wolfie shares his thoughts after yet another 0-0 draw in pre-season! To Buy Wolfie A Coffee! Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Welcome to Forest Fan TV for a fiery rant from Wolfie about Nottingham Forest's pre-season form, following yet another frustrating 0-0 draw last night against Al Qadsiah in their final friendly at the City Ground! With the Reds failing to score in six of their six pre-season games, including that stalemate, Wolfie is letting loose on the lack of attacking threat and defensive reliance, questioning whether these worrying signs spell trouble heading into the Premier League kick off against Brentford next weekend. He's not holding back as he dissects the team's struggles with new signings like Dan Ndoye and Igor Jesus yet to click. Wolfie dives into the bigger concerns: is this Forest squad strong enough to compete in the top flight and Europa League, or are they still a work in progress? With the transfer window still open, he debates whether there's time to bring in the right players to shore up the midfield and attack, especially with the Douglas Luiz deal dragging and rejected bids for wingers like Dilane Bakwa. He'll also share his thoughts on whether the club, under Evangelos Marinakis, can be trusted to make the smart moves needed to turn things around before the season starts. Give your thoughts on the video in the comments! Are you as concerned as Wolfie about Forest's pre-season, or do you think they'll gel in time?

Are Forest really in for Nigerian International Ademola Lookman as The Sun reports? To Buy Wolfie a Coffee Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Welcome to Forest Fan TV for the latest transfer update on Nottingham Forest! Reports in The Sun claim the Reds are ready to challenge Arsenal and Inter Milan for the signing of Ademola Lookman, with the Atalanta winger reportedly wanting out after submitting a transfer request. The Nigeria international, valued at around £43m-£58m, has been in stunning form, but with Inter leading the race and Arsenal also in the mix, Wolfie will dive into how credible this story is and share his thoughts on whether Forest can realistically pull off this audacious move to bolster Nuno Espirito Santo's attack for the Premier League and Europa Conference League. There's also major news on the Europa League court case, which concluded yesterday, with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish present to plead their case against UEFA's disqualification. Palace have argued that Forest, under Evangelos Marinakis' multi-club ownership, received favourable treatment, and this legal battle could impact Forest's European status. Wolfie will break down the key points from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearing, exploring how this might affect the Reds' season and what Parish's plea means for the ongoing rivalry between the two clubs. Let us know your thoughts on today's news in the comments! Do you believe Forest can sign Lookman and outmanoeuvre Arsenal and Inter, or is this just speculation?

With the transfer market heating up, the focus is on the recent rejections of Forest's bids for Ipswich winger Omari Hutchinson and Strasbourg's Dilane Bakwa, with a £25m offer for the latter turned down.

We will also discuss the Douglas Luiz from Juventus saga, with reports suggesting the Brazilian midfielder is keen on a Premier League return and has prioritised Forest. Wolfie and the crew will unpack the latest on this deal, discussing whether it could involve a loan with an obligation to buy and how it might impact the midfield, especially with Ibrahim Sangare's future uncertain. The panel's fiery takes will explore if Luiz can be the game-changer Forest need this season. Jump into the live chat and share your thoughts as the podcast unfolds!
