Reading – 0 Nottingham Forest – 1 The happy sight of Guy Moussi vigourously joining in the pre-match warm up session was counterbalanced before the match by the sight of Joel Lynch also returning to the starting line up. Forest started with Smith in goal, Lynch, Wilson, Morgan and Chambers in defence, Moussi, Cohen and [...]

Sometimes you just think of a headline you just can’t resist, it’s apt too. Woe is the world of a Forest fan as ever – there was an excellent empassioned piece on LTLF about falling out of love with Forest. To be honest, I can relate strongly to that – my frequency of updates has [...]

That there McSheffrey rumour is doing the rounds again, the winger/striker is recovering from a knee injury and therefore it is thought that Birmingham City would be amenable for him to go out on loan. Which makes sense. Indeed, they might even be keen to get him with us in time for him to perhaps [...]

As well as taking on Forest’s ineffective transfer committee, it seems that Billy is set to battle on another front too – the music charts! A new single – the proceeds of which will go to the ‘Billy Davies Second to None Foundation‘ – is available from all good record stores and iTunes. It is [...]

If The Sun is believed (which let’s face it, it largely isn’t), then Billy Davies appears to be quickly reaching an accord with a chunk of supporters who seem to tend toward Mark Arthur and/or the much-maligned transfer-committee as the cause of our woes. And in fairness, I think he has a point – he should [...]

The referee was rubbish, but not in a match-changing way, our inability to deal with set pieces [...]

Come on you Reds, shove those cutting words down Billy Davies’ throat and prove him wrong tomorrow. Please. I can’t say I’m particularly looking forward to the match, which does kind of underline the fickle nature of being a football fan – but well, seeing them for the umpteenth time in a few weeks after [...]

Ipswich Town – 2 Nottingham Forest – 1 I’ve been trying really hard not to succumb to many of the prophecies of doom pervading the online world of Forest fan-dom at the moment. It’s nice to at least attempt to be a little bit rational, and maybe even a smidge optimistic – but well, it’s [...]

I’ve been keeping half an eye on the developments of the film version of The Damned United, in which Michael Sheen will take the role of Brian Clough (or rather, David Peace’s caricature of Brian Clough). Whilst upon reading Peace’s book I did review my overly negative prejudices towards it, it was a terribly one-dimensional [...]

Birmingham City – 2 Nottingham Forest – 0 Forest’s tricky run continues with defeat at St. Andrews. I can only go from reports of friends and the media as I conspired to miss this game and the majority of the commentary. In front of perhaps one of the few crowds who are harsher critics than [...]
