It seems odd that one day each year, English folk all around the country get sloshed and start singing a Scottish song – but in honour of our our manager, perhaps it’s okay for us Forest fans. 2007 has, on balance, been a pretty shit year for the Reds – with the odd highlight interspersed [...]

After yesterday’s grump-fest I’ve decided to think positive, and given that the dawning of a New Year is upon us, as is the tradition, I have formulated some resolutions. Of course, they aren’t for me – they’re for Smoulderwood, for having constructed an amusing nickname for him, I’m loathe to have to keep calling into [...]

Gillingham – 3 Nottingham Forest – 0 A combination of wasteful finishing and some excellent goalkeeping from Simon Royce in the Gills goal meant that the sides went in on level terms at 0-0. The second half started in Forest’s favour, but in a quick break forward a deflected shot meant Smith’s save was less [...]

Boredom on Christmas Eve is a terrible thing, but since I’ve got a head full of cold I’ve opted for a quiet night in to stave off the germs and hopefully be fit for tomorrow – and you all know what a bored blogger makes… it makes a facile Christmas message, a slightly grumpy one, given that [...]

There’s worrying whisperings all over the place, and it’s uncertain how reliable they are. The old ‘Commons and Tyson to Bolton’ discussions are happening on the messageboards, with one person suggesting from the ever-reliable ‘source’ that even given the lure of Premiership football, Commons never wants to work for Megson again. Tyson is thought to [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Port Vale – 0 Thanks to Swansea and Carlisle having their game postponed, three points was enough to put the Reds top of the pile going into the festive period. Perfect preparation for two tricky away games coming up, and whilst not a completely sparkling performance from the Reds, there were [...]

Seemingly many-times Forest target Neil Danns is apparently set to part company with Birmingham City. So that means people will once again think we’re going to try to sign him. I hope we don’t, he demonstrated aptitude at this level for Colchester but hasn’t exactly set the world alight since moving to Brum for £500k. [...]
