I’m home again and resolutely not inspired to delve into the murky world of the weekend’s football – I hear whispers of owing the fans an apology, of critical individual errors and all that jazz. Well, you’ve a week to improve matters before perhaps the most well-equipped side for punishing such errors will arrive at [...]

Burnley -5 Nottingham Forest – 0 I’m somewhat cut off from technology in the wilds of Wiltshire where even a signal for text messaging has proven rather unreliable. Although I have found a spot in the bar with a smidgen of a GPRS signal. After checking in with the TV I think a trip to [...]

Watford – 2 Nottingham Forest – 1 This result feels like a real kick in the teeth, however upon having a reality check (and perhaps the luxury of missing the game itself), despite seeing the chasm of relegation loom two points closer than it was earlier today – things could be a lot worse had [...]

Nottingham Forest – 1 Swansea City – 1 I was half looking forward to and half dreading Swansea coming to the City Ground, because they’re a side I really rate and admire. Roberto Martinez is a progressive manager who has patiently assembled an attractive side who – unsurprisingly for me – are challenging for a [...]

They’re online with Virgin Media – it’s basically the Robert Earnshaw show. I still can’t make my mind up about the goal conceded – clearly someone the size of Parkin shouldn’t be able to go quite so unnoticed in the area from a corner, whether or not Smith should have come for it is unclear. [...]

Official texts have been confirmed from numerous people more generous than me – for once they do seem to have been the first to hear the news which is yet to appear on the Forest website! So I’m assuming it’s true, but don’t have any other official confirmation than the text received by a few [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Preston North End – 1 Two wins on the bounce for the Reds against promotion-chasing opponents, who would’ve thunk it! Certainly I had half earmarked Preston as a potential scalp for us, but that was partially down to a fairly formidible looking run of opponents. The win and performance at the [...]

Hot on the heels of making his first Forest signing in the shape of Aston Villa’s Isaiah Osbourne, Billy Davies is very much in a Veruca Salt frame of mind – he wants more, and he wants it in the next 48 hours! Three more signings, no less – admittedly the usual caveats apply, but [...]

According to the Aston Villa website, we’ve signed Isaiah Osbourne on loan – although if you click onto the story you get an error. Presumably the notion of Forest actually making a signing has caused the Villa website to crash. The Villa youngster will be just the kind of target we need, adding a wealth [...]

Relive that rather splendid goal by Lewis McGugan, and ponder at the most preposterous one-man-wall antics! Lovely little pass by McCleary to see Lewis on his way, some of the misses by Reading look even more shocking in replay form, yet Lewis’ strike looks just as sweet! They also have the rather sublime effort from [...]
