It’s been too long since we’ve had any kind of actual football witterings on here, and it’s the eve of the day that Swansea City come to visit us. Swansea come here as deserved table-toppers, and they’re on rip-roaring form. We, however, have had dubious form and have singularly failed to strengthen so far in [...]

The good folks at Vital Forest were cunning enough to get hold of the email address of the Mirror’s editor, and appear to have illicited a response from him in regard to Brian Reade’s ill-thought out prattle about Brian Clough. To be frank, it’s not much of an apology, which you can judge for yourselves [...]

Another surfacing from the archive of our favourite curmudgeon – this time back from November when we are treated to his unique preparations for a bonfire night celebration with some youngsters… Disclaimer time: this is, of course, entirely a work of fiction – largely for my own amusement.

The Nottingham Evening Post is claiming that Smoulders has told Lennon he can leave us should he wish, during the January window, in order to seek first team football. Although apparently he is keen to keep Lenny on board for his experience to ‘bolster our promotion push.’ Quite how he’s supposed to achieve this when [...]

I don’t want people to think I’m picking on Perchy. I know he had a bad game last night, but overall I like him a great deal as a player – plus when searching for images of him on Google you’re often rewarded with great shots of anglers called James who have caught a [...]

A little matter like his passing doesn’t keep Cloughie out of the headlines for any great length of time, so perhaps it’s not surprising that he’s made done just that locally twice this week. I raised a few eyebrows today when announcing I was off to the theatre this evening, it would have done had [...]

I’m delighted to report that the sculptor chosen to take on the mantle of sculpting a legend is Les Johnson. The pose and bust that Les submitted were my favourites by some distance, so I’m thrilled he’s earned the opportunity to create the sculpture to be unveiled later this year in the centre of Nottingham.
