Around this time thirty years ago Nottingham would’ve been a great place to be – Munich would’ve been a better place to be, of course, because Forest would have just been crowned Champions of Europe. You know, back when you really had to be a Champion to qualify for the competition. There’s been lots of [...]

Thanks to a spectacular finish from Wade Elliott was all it took to send Burnley to Premier League delirium this afternoon. Indeed, a bit more composure (and less heroic blocks from Blades defenders) could’ve made it more comfortable for the Clarets. Owen Coyle’s dark horses have gone the distance and won promotion – having watched [...]

There is now but one opponent to be decided after yesterday’s glibly titled ‘Survival Sunday.’ An off-target Gareth Barry strike deflected off Damien Duff to give Aston Villa the only goal of the game, thus ensuring results elsewhere didn’t matter – the Toon Army were guaranteed a shambolic march into the Championship along with Middlesbrough, [...]

Whilst the clamour for new signing rumours shows no sign of abatement, some splendid news came from Forest today. Midfielder Chris Cohen has signed a well-earned new contract which will keep him at the City Ground until 2013. Naturally I’m very pleased that he has decided to stick around, after a well-deserved player of the season [...]

Courtesy of UltimateJoe1992, we have a compilation of highlights from the season just gone. [...]

Along with the good folks at LTLF and Eighteensixtyfive it looks very much like we’ve made good use of our post-season downtime by ensuring Forest romp home in The Sun’s poll trying to determine the best team ever. Competitions like this are fraught with problems, not least the non-comparable nature of the sport we watch [...]

The playoffs are well and truly underway, with the first leg of the Championship and League One semi finals completed. The outcome of these games obviously determines who will be joining us from beneath, and who will be departing us to the top flight. Much like last season, I quite like the detached air with [...]

I started writing this site back in August 2006, in some ways it seems an age ago, in others just a mere blip in time. Rather deliriously I had hoped to chronicle our return to prominence, well, it took a while longer than I’d hoped but last season we finally hauled ourselves free of League [...]

Firstly, I think that Billy Davies has made the right decision in suggesting Brecks seeks his future at pastures new – he still has a bit of playing to do, and if we can’t offer him a regular starting position then he should do so elsewhere. And I imagine in doing so he’ll take the [...]
