It’s pretty much the ultimate ‘mean nothing game’ for both sides really – with our hosts safe from relegation, and us guaranteed a third or fourth place finish. After a seven goal thriller with Doncaster in their last game, Scunny demonstrated they both know where the goal is, but perhaps aren’t so hot on preventing [...]

He’s the ‘Marmite’ of commentators, is Motty – indeed, in reading up a bit about him I discovered he was in the same year at school as Gary Newbon – who’s quite similar in that respect! (although I bet Motty wouldn’t mistake Nottingham for Birmingham if he were asked to compere the Clough Statue unveiling!). [...]

Big thanks to regular commenter EgorTheRed, who took these photos and encouraged me to share them with you all, so here you go. Mostly photos of the post-match shenanigans – I particularly like the one of Wes and mini-Wes!

Nottingham Forest – 3 Plymouth Argyle – 0 This mostly had the feel of a friendly or testimonial game, as consigned-to-fate Plymouth eventually succumbed to a fairly pedestrian-but-competent looking Forest side. One point would’ve been enough to secure third or fourth place, so we are now assured an away tie for the first leg of [...]

Our visitors come in the knowledge they’re already down, sadly failing their fight against the drop last weekend – so in many ways it [...]

Blackpool – 3 Nottingham Forest – 1 A game in which our hosts had an eye on ascending to the top six, and one where we – clearly – opted to experiment a bit and avoid the ignominity of having a team do the double over us, which they now have. A strange afternoon, sat [...]

An evening in the company of Stan Collymore contributed to both my remaining oblivious to the political mud-slinging in last night’s leaders debate, and it also put paid to when I would normally do a match preview. So a little bit sorry, although Stan was good value for an evening’s entertainment – topped off by [...]

I’ve not had an expansive ramble about nothing in particular, well, I suppose the play-offs are rather a hot topic amongst Forest fans. A sub-tournament enough to bring a Forest fan out in hives, isn’t it? Sheffield United, Des Walker own goal, Yeovil Town, an embarrassing collapse.. there’d be no surprise if Reds fans were [...]
