Congratulations to Smoulders, who deservedly picked up the manager of the month award for November for his guiding of the Reds to second in the league, just a point off the top. Not only have the results picked up, but we’ve also actually had a bit of decent footballing performances to enjoy over the last [...]

Nottingham Forest – 3 Lincoln City – 1 It’s been a bittersweet evening for the Reds really, the progression to the next round we all expected was indeed forthcoming against the Imps, but not without it’s cost, as Julian Bennett was forced out of the game in the first half with a possible torn hamstring [...]

Or is it just a case of lazy journalism? Megson’s obviously new into his role at Bolton Wanderers – and indeed, fresh from a rather honeymoon-period-inducing defeating of Manchester United of all people. He wasn’t really at Leicester for long enough to have developed any designs on their squad, so it would make sense for [...]

Great news for author Duncan Hamilton, his book has won the coveted award of William Hill Sports Book of the Year today – which is thoroughly deserved, not that I read all the other nominated volumes of course! Graham Sharpe from William Hill said “The judges were as close to unanimous in their decision as [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Crewe Alexandra - 0 I like to use the random conversations I overhear in the scrum on the way back to the car as a barometer for the performance. Of course, like any football fan I’m confident what I’ve witnessed and my ability to describe it, but when I’m plotting reporting wholly [...]

We’re staying home, we’re staying home We’re staying – England’s staying home We’re staying home, we’re staying home We’re staying – England’s staying home Everyone surely knew the score McClaren [...]

Sorry, I’m going to have a little rant about non-Forest things again! Well, despite the suspiciously convenient results at the weekend, England have still managed to bugger up their opportunity to qualify for the European Championships. So Paul Parker perhaps got his wish – and for us Reds fans we have the ignominy of a general [...]

Since the internationals postponed our showdown with Carlisle, Forest moved down to third – after Orient picked up a point against Brighton, so we remain just a point off the top. Carlisle remain on top of the pile, and of course but for the postponement they would have been our opponents today. Perhaps more concerningly, [...]

There’s an interesting outburst from former England rightback Paul Parker hitting the media at the moment. Basically he’s flat out come out and said he wants England to fail to qualify for Euro 2008, because the England team needs a wake-up call. I for one find it difficult to disagree with his sentiments. Since we’re [...]

The bean-counters have taken an age to calculate the gains from the inaugural ‘Brian Clough Trophy’ contest between Forest and Derby back in July. The great news is that £100,000 has been raised to benefit local charities – which is probably the only good thing to come from the idea from our perspective! Regardless though, [...]
