A slightly over-dramatic headline, but I couldn’t resist the CRASS reference! Twitter, the forums etc. have been a fairly angry place for Forest fans of late. It was predictable really (and indeed, was predicted by me!), and in some ways leaves me questioning my own lack of complete outrage at another transfer window ending without [...]

There’s about 5 hours of the transfer window left as I type, and it becomes abundantly clear (as if we didn’t really know) that Forest appear intent to either rely on loan signings or, well, just not bother to strengthen the side that has yet to muster a win yet this season. Naturally this will [...]

Nottingham Forest – 1 Norwich City – 1 All in all, a frustrating afternoon at the City Ground. Forest struggled to make too much impact against an impressive Norwich side, who threatened more than the scoreline suggests. It’s true that we could have nicked a very ill-deserved three points but for the woodwork, but if [...]

It looks great – much better in person than the pictures I’ve seen online. I can’t help but have the impression that Clough looks a bit older than he should for his time at Derby, but just as at Middlesbrough and Nottingham the likeness is unmistakable. Peter Taylor stands beside him, and with their arms [...]

The Reds will be looking to turn performances into points against the Canaries at the City Ground on Saturday. Despite moments of encouraging play in our opening three league games, Forest have yet to notch a win due to a melting pot of inconsistency, wasting chances and slight-too-wide goalposts. Norwich have a had a decent [...]

On Saturday there is a celebration of 100 years of British Red Cross in Nottinghamshire – since getting in touch with Max (the unfortunate Forest fan running the Great North Run dressed as Robbie Savage thanks to some merciless friends!) I’ve been in touch with them about the event, which includes a raffle for a [...]

A trio of Forest legends are on offer for your entertainment pleasure – quite literally a 9, 10 and 11. Garry Birtles, Tony Woodcock and John Robertson to be precise – and it’s actually quite the bargain too. Whilst at first glance £13 might seem an odd price – this includes a copy of Garry [...]

Reading – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 I quite often use fan reactions to validate my take on a game – and today’s was a great example of that. The Reds finished to the customary appreciative applause from the 2,000 travelling Forest fans, whilst the home side had chuntering and boos from the home side. [...]

I love the Internet, and I love the fact that the increased availability of it – be it just in accessing it, or using endless ways to generate information to be included upon it. I’d be one hell of a hypocrite not to, really – it’s these very mechanisms that give me the opportunity to [...]

The Reds recommence their hunt for the first win of the season at the Madejski Stadium (I must have typed Majewski about five times then!). Our hosts have had a pretty much identical league start to us – losing on the opening day (at home to Scunthorpe), and picking up a draw at Fratton Park [...]
