Sunday sees Forest take a trip down to Old Sarum, just to the north of Salisbury itself, to take on Salisbury City. Salisbury City are in the same league as Yeading, who we demolished 5-0 in the previous round – although they sit proudly in 3rd place on the Conference South currently, so should prove [...]

I forget whether it was during the terrible reign of Kinnear or the terrible reign of Megson that we were first linked with Marc Bircham, I suspect Kinnear – but he was certainly an exciting prospect of a signing then. Apparently QPR have yet to offer the midfielder new terms, and his contract is up [...]

This fairly long interview on the BBC site is a really good read. I’m usually quite quick to put the metaphorical boot in on David Johnson; whilst I concede he’s given us some great moments to cheer, in one particular season, he’s also given us more seasons of frustration and not fulfilling his potential. But [...]

Whilst the Reds are naturally disappointed to have exited the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy at the regional quarter final stage, there is perhaps a glimmer of positivity in the stated aim of Smoulderwood for us to never be involved in the much-maligned competitition again! I was quite against the idea of the possibility of the JPT sharing space in our more [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Bristol City – 2 (Bristol win 4-2 on penalties) Might as well start by getting the cliches out of the way; now is the time to concentrate on the league! Scathing as I was back in the early stages of this competition, I am a bit gutted to see us exit [...]

Since ’tis the festive season (despite still being November – let’s face it, if you go by the average shop in town then Christmas starts in August anyway), I thought it would be amusing to recall a festive chant, that I must admit I’ve not heard in a while – it amuses me as both [...]

Spotted this article on the BBC website a while ago; a typically candid interview with former Forest skipper Gareth Taylor. It is largely focused on his somewhat optimistic aspirations for Tranmere Rovers this season, but there are a couple of snippets of interest from a Forest perspective as well. Gaz of course was loaned to Crewe [...]

I found a handy summary of betting odds for the Salisbury City vs Forest game at the weekend; and I must admit, I’m a bit disappointed! Should cynical Forest fans plan on betting on an upset to compensate for the embarrassment of defeat, then you’re looking at about 6/1 – with Forest the obvious favourites [...]

Liquidation, administration, financial difficulties – certainly a subject that, whilst not dear to the heart, is only too familiar to East Midlands football; and indeed, particularly Nottingham as Notts County almost went under not all that long ago. Forest, of course, have had their own well-documented fiscal problems, solved by an excellent youth academy and [...]
