The Welsh striker has signed a three year contract after completing the formalities of his medical etc yesterday, before having an [...]

It was with no small degree of amusement today that I picked up a copy of the Nottingham Evening Post to find the front page emblazoned with a picture of former Reds striker Pierre van Hooijdonk. Of course, he needs no introduction – a talented striker and basically a guaranteed goal-from-a-freekick merchant who subsequently had [...]

I took advantage of a friend popping down to the City Ground today to pick me up a copy of the DVD Forest released of the Yeovil game, as well as the ensuing celebrations; and pre/post match interviews.

Whether it be to Derby or elsewhere, Kris Commons certainly won’t be turning out in the Garibaldi next season. Apparently despite noises from the club about being keen to keep him, he made it clear his head had clearly already been turned shortly after the Reds confirmed promotion to the Championship, as such Smoulds hasn’t [...]

I’m really enjoying this almost close season but we’re not involved in it, certainly from an on-the-field perspective, anyway!
