Given the current state of play this season, it’s probably not the best time to be dwelling in the past. But when Al Needham from Left Lion alerted me to Duncan Hamilton’s new book, Provided you don’t kiss me, about his time as a sports journalist working so closely with Brian Clough at Forest, I [...]

Yeovil Town – 0 Nottingham Forest – 2 The title was meant to sound a bit like the Phil Collins horror-fest ‘Another day for you and me in paradise’… because really yesterday’s game was a bizarre festival of horror – yet obviously we all find ourselves strangely pleased about it anyway. Isn’t football a very [...]

We couldn’t quite take full momentum into the playoffs, but three straight wins and a draw isn’t bad form in anybody’s language. Yeovil too come into this match on a decent run, registering three straight wins in their last three games – although against arguably weaker opponents in Rotherham, Doncaster and the Gills (that said, [...]

I’ve been a bit distracted of late, that’s not to say the looming playoff date hasn’t been firmly in the foreground in my mind – but alas, I’ve not been around a computer too much lately. So to sum up, a few bits and pieces have happened whilst I’ve been otherwise engaged. Alan Wright has [...]

He’s described as an overwhelming winner, with Perchy and Wes making up second and third places respectively – also very well deserved. It must be a sweet reward [...]

It’s understandable how there’s a lot of Wembley talk going on, indeed, the prospect of a trip there is a really really compelling one. But there seems to be a worrying attitude amongst the fans, and even hinted at by Luke Chambers in his post-match interview at the weekend, that somehow that’s where we’ll end [...]

Right you lucky people, having just about recovered from the excitement of the weekend, it’s about time we had another one of these babies to cheer you up! Our good friend from an earlier track, Njaal Helle, is back to serenade us – and this time, rather than Forest being his Rock and Roll, this [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Crewe Alexandra – 0 Perhaps all too predictably, Forest ended their season-proper with a dull thud, rather than a bang. A point against Crewe whilst Bristol City and Blackpool United won gives us a fourth place finish – certainly an improvement on last season’s seventh – but nonetheless, a disappointing one [...]
