What to do of a Saturday when there’s no Forest match, well, this weekend at least a trip to the cinema to see The Damned United. Longer term readers will know that I had severe reservations about the book, and some of you coerced me into reading it – which I did. I did review [...]

Dexter Blackstock in on loan, no recall, VERY pleased. Well done everyone at Forest! Too hectic for a proper update.

No, I’m not breaking into the Littlest Hobo, but tomorrow does mark a deadline – if not for settling down – then certainly for loaning players. Something we apparently want to do quite badly (despite having a considerable number of loans already). Billy Davies has even admitted he’d like to loan Dexter Blackstock, but there [...]

According to The People, Forest have apparently picked themselves up from Marlon Harewood shaped disappointment to target want-away QPR front man Dexter Blackstock. The former Southampton striker is struggling to agree terms with the Hoops for a new contract which apparently has sparked us to pounce with a bid to loan him until the end [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers – 1 Wolves fans will merrily forget the eighty odd minutes of tension they endured before their team scored the only goal of the game giving license for the nigh on six thousand travelling West Midlanders to actually find their voice. That it was a bit fortunate won’t matter [...]

And so, after a reported week of negotiations with Forest, Marlon Harewood will be strutting his stuff at the City Ground on Saturday. In a Wolves shirt. Whilst I’m not convinced loaning all and sundry is the way forward given that you can only play with five loan players, I would’ve been happy to see [...]

It seems to be on pretty good authority that Forest will complete the loan signing of Everton’s Iain Turner, somebody I hadn’t heard of until rumours started circulating. Reluctantly I think the ballad of Paul Smith has reached an inevitable and self-fulfilling end. A promising keeper who I still maintain was improving weaknesses in his [...]

Did anybody else encounter our drunken team out for St Patrick’s day celebrations in Nottingham? Far be it from me to deny the lads the opportunity to go out for a drink of an evening, and a tuesday night doesn’t seem too bad given we have no game until Saturday – however reports of poor [...]

I’ve been coaxed out of my general malaise of writing about Forest thanks to an email from Marc, so thanks Marc, I think! It’s not really that all things Forest are THAT bad, well, they are – but I’m well versed in writing about Forest in attempting-to-find-the-positive ways during times of slim pickings. What I’m [...]

Many thanks to Nick who sent these through to me, I hadn’t seen these adverts for betting website Paddypower before (this isn’t a plug for them, just amusing adverts – so bet with them if you want to, but don’t feel compelled!). The reason we’ve dredged these out is because they feature Forest-related people in [...]
