Nottingham Forest – 2 Northampton Town – 2 A frustrating afternoon for Forest fans this afternoon, a first half which was completely dominated by the home side was followed by a collapse in form, class and effort to allow an improved performance from the visitors to not only equalise, but to take the lead – [...]

First it was Mark Arthur commenting in the press that we weren’t selling anyone, which immediately made me think “oh dear, we’re selling someone.” This was, of course, in response to the articles produced by a bunch of lazy and bored journalists who thought “Hmm, Megson is at Bolton, and he used to manage Forest, [...]

Walsall – 1 Nottingham Forest – 0 It’s our tenth attempt to beat Walsall, and yet again we’ve failed! Whilst it was a game of two halves – with Forest dominating the first, and Walsall looking more impressive in the second, it was a game with only one shot on goal, one that Michael Ricketts [...]

So, Liverpool at home if we can beat Luton awaits in the FA Cup third round – for this game I’m more than happy to park my usual “let’s concentrate on the league” cup apathy that dominates many of my reactions to cup draws. Forget the Chelsea game last season – this one is huge [...]
