Without wishing to sound like a grinch (who was also green), I’m not quite sure why Forest have suddenly decided to compel people to wear green for the Sunderland cup game. Of course, I realise it is supposedly to honour the late, and the great, Brian Clough who had an immeasurable impact as both manager [...]

I commented after both the Reading and Swansea games that the following from Reds fans was somewhat disappointing, and it appears that the supporters of other sides see fit to comment upon it too. Should we be worrying about the below par attendances we seem to be attracting? Are people still on holiday? Is the [...]

We know that numerous record books have been taken up with the achievements of our neighbours recently, lowest tallies, fewest wins – all manner of past records left shattered by the wondrous incompetence of the Rams. So, to cheer those of us still smarting from defeat to the Swans, you’ll be pleased to know another [...]

Swansea City – 3 Nottingham Forest – 1 It’s time for the more balanced ‘I’ve had time to reflect on this’ and more detailed ‘I’m not typing on a mobile device’ match report for this afternoon, although obviously it might be worth checking out the last few entries I made ‘in the field’, so to [...]

It looks very much like it will finish Swansea City 3-1 Nottingham Forest. That doesn’t really tell the story, as Forest have been much improved this half, and caught out by two suckerpunches from the home side (who, in fairness, had the better of the first half).

The Swans took the lead when Morgan stood off his man allowing a shot that beat Smith, but rebounded off the post and heartbreakingly struck the prone keeper and trickled over the line. Forest responded shakily, allowing the home side far too much [...]

And so the Liberty Stadium. A miniature Pride Park-like flatpack affair, with exciting local amenities such as Rossi’s fish and chip emporium, as well as a sun tan centre which no doubt Smoulds will have been taking advantage of, given it is predictably raining! It’s a quarter to two, and our Welsh hosts have yet [...]

Service stations, those bittersweet offerings of facilities and energising treats at ludicrous prices! Just leaving one on the M5 which has been over run by travelling Trickies. This is always promising; a healthy following is always desirable, even if the queues for sandwiches and coffee are rather dramatically enhanced by red shirted hordes. The mood [...]

… leads you to ponder many things as you sit on the tarmac of the Brian Clough Stand car park. Why does it take some people in excess of five minutes to get on that coach, then a further eternity to find and settle into a seat? More importantly, why on Earth are we setting [...]

Hot on the heels of playing them preseason at the City Ground, we are once again set to welcome the Mackems to the City Ground for a Carling Cup 2nd round tie. Which should certainly be interesting! Guy Moussi and Julian Bennett will have the opportunity to renew the starting-to-flourish acquaintance with Diouf (which seemed [...]
