Firstly, I’ve managed to track down a copy of ‘that video’ – I’ve uploaded to YouTube and re-embedded it in the original story, and I’ve also uploaded a version of it in AVI format that you can download and keep (see original story for the link). Given I’ve been lucky so far with my other [...]

Nigel Doughty came out immediately after promotion to congratulate Smoulderwood and the team, but given the plethora of things to comment on this one slipped through the net ’til now. He obviously spoke of his pleasure in the achievement, but there was to be no gloating from the opt much maligned Forest chairman. Upon taking [...]

Sometimes something completely random pops into your email and leaves you lost for words because of the sheer unlikeliness of it. I had a few of those last week, they involved Forest getting automatic promotion, and that happened! Today I received this from Rich Fisher, who is appealing for your old Forest shirts so that [...]

Terry rightly took his place at the centre of celebrations with the players and staff of Nottingham Forest, as we’ve seen from all the photos – after all the champagne and partying what does he make of the things he witnessed on that magical saturday afternoon? Disclaimer time: this is, of course, entirely a work [...]

Now I’ve (almost) calmed down from a few days of madness, I would like to offer an apology to Smoulds. I initially was very fond of our bronzen manager, and had a great deal of fun constructing an imaginary lothario loosely based around him – at times this season, though, I have howled with rage [...]

Whilst I was lazy and just recorded ‘The Championship’ and stuck it on YouTube and went to bed, I’ve just found the below video which is much more lovingly compiled, complete with commentary overlaid by our very own Colin Fray which is much better! It’s ultimately the same footage, but I’m sure you can stand [...]

Of course, as the joy subsides a little it was inevitable the rumours would start to surface, and not all of them would be nice. I’ve heard a few whisperings about the Sheep being interested in Kris, but it wasn’t until the Evening Post picked up the ageing rumour and ran with it that I [...]

It only occurred to me when watching the highlights that it was three local lads who scored all our goals, which resonates rather with the ‘putting Nottingham back into Forest’ comments Nigel Doughty made after the game. Hopefully the YouTube police don’t notice this little infraction and allow the clip to remain, as it’s fantastic [...]

I’ve just spotted a gallery feature in the software used to create the blog… and I quite like the idea, so I’ve gathered a bit of a montage of pictures that some of you kindly sent to me, some of them I’ve blatantly pinched, and they’re available below for your viewing pleasure. There’s loads of [...]

Because, thanks to a mere draw with promoted Stoke City and Southampton winning 3-2, for the first time in their history Leicester will be getting to sample the delights we have endured over the last three seasons. It may take a while, but karma does seem to be working for me this weekend – and [...]
