So here we are, finally. This time tomorrow we’ll know the outcome of our biggest game in a while – I imagine all but the most deliriously optimistic fans think they already know the outcome! It’s going to be an early start for most of us – the official coaches leave at 8:00am – Forest [...]

Naturally the stark realisation of how far we’ve fallen has sparked all manner of nostalgia amongst the Reds – some lament calmly about the fact that we were peers with our forthcoming opponents, others bitterly rant about how not all that long ago, a fourth round tie with Chelsea would’ve been par for the course [...]

And so the day cometh, I wonder what we’ll all have to write and talk about when this game is over – certainly it’s enjoyed disproportionate column inches on this blog, and seemingly every other Forest news outlet!

However I’ve since discovered it can also tell the short term future – see the screen [...]

I suppose it’s inevitable from now until Sunday that we’ll get cheesy soundbites from the Forest squad members in the run up to the game. Apparently, for Forest World subscribers, Nathan Tyson is seeking a chink in the Chelsea armoury, whilst skipper Ian Breckin is hoping to recover from a foot injury to take his [...]

Of course, bugger all has happened in terms of actually signing anyone, but we are apparently trialling a French defender by the name of Abdelhazzi Kamara. He has apparently had interest from both Premiership and Championship clubs, but the lure of first team football is thought to be enough to sway him in our favour. [...]

Out of morbid curiosity more than anything I’d been keeping an eye on eBay to see if any spare tickets for the Chelsea game found their way onto the online auctioning site. So far I’ve only seen a few “wanted” listings with some fans willing to pay £100 or more per ticket – it was [...]
