Yeovil Town – 0 Nottingham Forest – 3 “Where were you at Wembley” was one of the banners amongst the home support, before the game it was easy enough to answer – many of us where sat at home or in the pub watching Yeovil get spanked by Blackpool! If you were anything like me, [...]

Yeovil. That’s a word that sticks in the craw doesn’t it? Which is a shame, I like Yeovil as a club, they play decent football, seem to have a great team spirit, and in Russell Slade a canny manager – and frankly, we don’t have anyone to blame but ourselves for the playoff debacle against [...]

Reports from unsubstantiated sources are suggesting that Leicester have again made moves to get Nathan Tyson to join them. Unsurprising really, Megson will be more aware than anyone of the lad’s potential being the manager who brought him to us in the first place. Given our current striking options, I’m pleased that the same unsubstantiated [...]

It seems Neil Lennon has been subject to harsh words from some Forest fans, certainly I heard a few comments – and indeed, have heard reports of similar from pretty much all areas of the ground on saturday. Whilst the Gills game for me wasn’t the best I’ve seen him, he still made a good [...]

Nottingham Forest – 4 Gillingham – 0 Well, I said we could win in emphatic style – and boy did we do that this afternoon. Although much of the ‘credit’ could be given to the Gills for being so absolutely atrocious, you can only play who’s put infront of you – and after a frustrating [...]

I’m going to preview this one, because I feel the urge to post some positivity. As many readers rightly pointed out, there were plenty of very pleasing things about the recent cup game with Leicester, which I think I did do justice to, but perhaps allowed my malaise to overwhelm in my misery-induced tirade. So [...]

It was kind of ironic to wake to news of Jose Mourinho parting company with Chelsea this morning, because 20th September marks the anniversary of the death of Brian Clough back in 2004. Whilst personally the comparisons between the two men were tenuous at best, there were similar mannerisms and a characteristic arrogance that did [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Leicester City – 3 If games only lasted 82 minutes, then I’m convinced we’d be in the Premiership by now, but once again the bottlers extraordinaire struck again, turning a comfortable looking 2-1 lead into a 3-2 defeat in a matter of minutes. And I think whilst there can be questions [...]

This is a heartfelt one, it has found it’s way onto my car stereo numerous times on the way back from a particularly arduous away trip from time to time. It’s an emotional ballad-esque tribute to a homecoming back to the City Ground, but it feels more amusing when you’re literally ‘on the road’ to [...]

There’s a whole lot of Clough nostalgia available at the moment – if you start with this link just here, you can view Cloughie in his pomp, having just been sacked by Leeds United, in debate with his predecessor Don Revie. Clough of course was sacked after just 44 days after the Leeds players voted [...]
