Half-forgetting to do this has given me the advantage of being able to see the other Championship results come in today. May I be one of the many men in Red who is surely raising a glass tonight to congratulate Roy Keane on registering his first league win as Ipswich boss. Here’s to you, Roy! [...]

Hallelujah it’s raining t-shirts.. tacky gimmicks like this (and the sheep masks before them) rarely ever turn out to be a good idea in my experience. In case you weren’t in Pride Park for the downpour, there’s a few popping up on eBay! Having been busy whilst the game was on, I might just have [...]

I must admit I’m rapidly losing interest in 2018-World-Cup gate in Nottingham. A few weeks ago Councillor Kay Cutts of the County Council spread her odiousness around the local media, and attempted to unbalance the scheme the City Council, Rushcliffe Borough Council and Forest have been concocting.

Forest travel to South London safe in the knowledge that the ‘flag-gate’ nonsense has now been dealt with by our ponderous authorities. Both Forest and Derby have been fined (part of which is suspended) a nominal amount, and Tyson has been fined £5k and given a suspended two-match ban. Perhaps a small hillock made out [...]

Thanks to the generosity of author Dave Armitage I am able to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a signed copy of his excellent book 150 BC: Cloughie the Inside Stories. I’ve just finished reading it after my ‘interim review‘ a few days ago – and it’s a brilliant combination of heart-warming, tear-jerking [...]
