A couple of comments and emails quite rightly point out my all-but ignorance of the African Cup of Nations which has been going on in earnest for the last few weeks. That’s partly because I’ve not managed to catch any of the matches, and because there’s been plenty going on domestically to distract me from [...]

Or perhaps, is readily-excused in order to mitigate for the possibility of our disappointing run of results continuing. Mark Arthur seemingly has a taste for the media spotlight today, this time in the Evening Post he made another relatively rare media appearance in order to try to smooth the waters after criticisms continue over Forest’s [...]

Perhaps not in so many words, but our dear Chief Executive Mark Arthur was on t’radio this morning, presumably in a late bid to address the grumblings still going on in the Forest supporters world after Saturday’s supreme disappointment. Frankly, it’s not really anything particularly revolutionary or new. In a nutshell (although of course, the [...]

I found myself really biting my tongue before posting this, because you have to be wary of the comments Forest make in the media about signings these days. However, the Evening Post is suggesting that the former-Rotherham hitman has agreed a loan deal to join us, with the option to buy come summer, as the [...]

That said, that’s rather a [...]

A random opportunity, but a real one thanks to an ‘Evening with..’ event organised by The Approach on Friar Lane in Nottingham. Following on from successful nights involving Stan Collymore and more recently Carl Froch, now’s your chance to quiz the two geordie footballers about, well, whatever you like! Stoney of course needs no introduction [...]

AFC Bournemouth – 2 Nottingham Forest – 0 Having opened the door to my house at 1am, through various convolutions in relation to the rail network, I can certainly say I’ve had plenty of time to think. Indeed, if I’d taken a laptop with me I could’ve had this nailed and got some well-deserved shut-eye [...]

Some actual soundbites from the Forest officialdom have appeared in the Evening Post – so my initial suspicions that Messrs Arthur and Smoulderwood had a couple too many drinks and nodded off at around 9pm are perhaps unfounded and a little bit mean – predictably, our attention is inevitably drawn by our chief executive to [...]

Hundreds of you were up late tonight, judging by the stats for this site, and looking at the “who’s online’ sections on numerous forums – alas, unless they are very late in making any announcements, Forest have once again spectacularly failed to bring anybody in at this critical point of the season.
