Sheffield Wednesday – 1 Nottingham Forest – 0 Ah, Hillsborough. It will always evoke such bittersweet memories for me; the disaster that is now synonymous with the name of the ground lingers long amongst Forest fans, forgotten as ‘the other side’ on that fateful day in Yorkshire. Counter that with a game on April Fools [...]

How about an opportunity to forget all our present day worries on the pitch and revel in a spot of reminiscing about when times couldn’t get any better? Well you can do just that on 13th October by popping down to The Approach on Friar Lane in Nottingham, and basking in the reflected glory of [...]

We lost. [...]

I don’t generally hold much truck with stories that originate from The Sun, which I believe this one does – but it does make interesting reading. Reports are circulating that Andy (Andrew) Cole is unhappy with his lack of prominence in the Forest team of late; which – depending on how these reports are phrased [...]

Four years ago I was on my holidays, when my mobile phone went ballistic with the upsetting news of Brian Clough passing away. As he’s a man who said himself that he wanted no profound epitaphs, I shan’t write at length here – but would encourage everybody to spare a thought for him as they [...]
