We’re now onto the really dubious musical detritus that our beloved Reds have inspired. This little number is contributed to us courtesy of a chap called Vic Blackwell, and ‘Forest fans‘ whoever they might be. We are returning back to the late 70′s/early 80′s so plenty of references to the European Cup winning team. Vic [...]

It’s that time isn’t it? We all spend inordinate amounts of time looking at league tables working out all manner of permutations and combinations of results. From my own fiddlings with the figures, I still think we’re on course for a playoff finish and not much more, although there are a few interesting scenarios that [...]

Take yourself back to 1991, the mighty Nottingham Forest had reached the FA Cup final to face Terry Venable’s Tottenham, and indeed, the mesmerising Paul Gascoigne on what was – at that time – our annual trip to Wembley to sing for Brian Clough’s army. I seem to recall there was some kind of bland [...]

It seems to have been glossed over in the media comments online so far, but certainly on the radio during the sports bulletins and during the Matchtalk programme tonight, Smoulds was broadcast issuing a broadside at certain sections of the Forest support. Not making it to Brentford, I’m not qualified to comment on what was [...]

I know it’s been less than 24 hours, but I’ve been itching to post this festival of cheese ever since I heard it, so I’m going to! This is track two on the CD, and despite featuring our messiah and saviour, Brian Clough, I’m afraid it doesn’t really elevate it beyond the level of utter [...]

A friend of mine gave me a copy of this CD the other day, whilst I’d heard Paper Lace’s anthemic European Cup record, and dimly remembered the ‘Brian’ song from the 1991 FA Cup season, I hadn’t realised that Forest had been sufficiently inspirational to give rise to 20 odd tracks of largely dubious audio. [...]

It’s no secret that we wanted to get promoted this season. Be we the fans, the chairman, chief executive, manager or players (well, some of them!). Hell, even some of the media seemed to quite want us to do well! But yesterday was confirmed a dark and brooding piece of news that makes this mission [...]

I only stumbled upon this work of genius thanks to Vince commenting on my match report for today’s game at Brentford. By day, he is Vince, but on numerous occasions, he becomes Vince Kong – and you can click here to read about his trip to Millwall to watch Forest! What an awesome idea, [...]

Brentford FC – 2 Nottingham Forest – 4 After about 54 minutes of sitting and seething at the radio, I was quietly grateful I hadn’t invested the time and money to visit Brentford, and was feeling sorry for those that had. What a difference forty minutes or so can make – a splendid comeback more [...]

I’ve not thought of many ‘strange chants’ for a while now, I suppose most things football fans chant are reasonably self explanatory and don’t really qualify as being strange (plus there seems to be a general dearth of genuinely witty new chants surfacing from the fans these days, with the odd one-off exception at away [...]
