Isn’t close-season dull – as England go through their customary underwhelming preparations for the World Cup in South Africa, all things Forest become very quiet. And when the news is quiet, the rumours go into overdrive. Despite rumours of a rift and an impending departure for Billy, he and Nigel Doughty have met and agreed [...]

I’m a bit of a grinch when it comes to football music, unless of course it happens to be these spectacular efforts – or, indeed, if it involves John Barnes rapping. So I quite surprised myself to actually enter into the spirit of fun that appeared to be involved in this Nottingham-themed World Cup song [...]

Whilst naturally the nature of our demise in the semi-final of the play-off wasn’t easy to bear witness to, there’s no denying we bowed out (with a whimper) to the better team over two legs. I genuinely hope you can go one better and overcome Cardiff at Wembley. Fingers crossed that [...]

I must admit that come the end of the football season I’m ready for a ‘rest’ from it. I like switching off and not worrying about Forest for a while, I don’t check news feeds nearly as often and don’t check out the forums with nearly as much regularity. But it’s hard to ignore the [...]

Nottingham Forest – 3 Blackpool – 4 This is becoming a bit of a habit isn’t it? The first thing we must do is offer hearty congratulations to our opponents. Of course, there were referee decisions to howl at in both fixtures, but it would be a hard-nosed Forest-blinkered individual to say that Blackpool weren’t [...]

I wasn’t going to do a preview, with the games coming so close – but well, I changed my mind. I said the last game was huge, and now with a one goal deficit to overcome at the City Ground, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Forest put their nineteen game unbeaten league run at the [...]

Blackpool – 2 Nottingham Forest – 1 It was a case of third time unlucky for the Reds as Blackpool had the beating of them over ninety minutes for the third time this season – setting up a tense return leg at the City Ground on Tuesday. The Reds must beat Blackpool over ninety minutes, [...]
