Nottingham Forest – 0 Sunderland – 1 Neither optimism nor despair were offered in this fairly pedestrian friendly; for me personally the law of Sod dictated that I chose the less exciting of the two friendlies at the City Ground this season to attend. And so it proved; a very low-paced first half was followed [...]

I hadn’t been too fussed with the preseason games, but must confess that reports from the Everton friendly as well as a mate forcing the issue by getting me a ticket has severely whetted my appetite to be back at the City Ground on this fine evening. Sitting on the bank of the Trent, it’s [...]

An announcement from Forest pleased me enormously today; goalkeeper Paul Smith has signed a new two year deal which I dearly hope signals his desire to stick around and be part of Forest’s future – which will be brighter with him between the sticks. Along with the defence, he can take enormous credit for a [...]

He pleas in the Evening Post. What a crock. You had many offers did you? That means you could have taken one of them and gone with goodwill from us, you didn’t, you went there. In your time as a Forest supporter impersonator, you knew what the consequences of that move were. It’s no good [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, I was unable to make it down to the Everton preseason friendly in person – however picked up an email this morning from a friend who did venture down to Trentside to take in the game. His comments seem to tally with those I’ve read around the forums and other match [...]

A few days ago Sean emailed with this great suggestion; I don’t tend to buy Replica Kits so the idea had never occurred to me. However, spending a good number of hours amongst Forest fans over the last few seasons I’ve noticed a fair few fans sporting a kit with the name of Kris Commons [...]

An interesting move from Carlisle United has seen them disclose publicly that there is a clause in Joe Garner’s contract that means they would be compelled to accept a bid of £1.14million for the young striker. This would mean £500k (half the ‘profit’ Carlisle would make on the player) would be payable to Blackburn, £57.5k [...]

As we know, Forest (with a couple of trialists, former Arsenal and most recently Coventry City midfielder Stephen Hughes – who played the first half, and former Dundee United and capped Polish goalkeeper Grzegorz Szamotulski – who didn’t play tonight) have been training in Germany for the last week or so as part of their [...]

.. sorry. I have already got my coat, and will be calling a taxi imminently to beat a hasty retreat for my dreadful punning. But anyway, I digress slightly. Reports from news agencies as well as the rumour-mills suggest that our bid for Carlisle youngster Joe Garner isn’t as dead in the water as once [...]
