Opinions relating to the board, and specifically Nigel Doughty, really seem to be the vogue at the moment. They also seem to be very polarised – at least on the internet forums. He’s either cast as a saviour or as some kind of malignant entity personally responsible for our demise almost as though he’s inflicting [...]

Right then, we are where we are. It’s time to start thinking about how the club moves forward in the short term. The very best we can hope for is loan signings, which Billy has already said he doesn’t want – he wanted signings, he didn’t get them. Whether it’s fair or not is irrelevant, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I for one am thrilled. As a taxpayer in the UK I feed in lots of my income to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs – which means that, given Cardiff City’s status as a major debtor to the said same organisation, I’m contributing to £90,000 a week striker Craig Bellamy being able to play in [...]

Back in June I posted about a survey tackling the issue of homosexuality in football, and largely reinforcing the general view that it’s rather a taboo subject. Hopefully a few of you clicked through the link and filled in the survey as a result to help the study – certainly there must have been a [...]

It’s quite ironic that I just finished reading an account of two men who always seemed to struggle to get on with football directors and chairman. Because we seem to be having a bit of history repeating itself on that score at the moment at the City Ground, with Billy spouting off in the press [...]

I’m sure you’ve picked up the fixtures we have to look forward to next season. Because of the arseishness of the footballing authorities I’m not allowed to post a list of fixtures and dates (due to copyright), but you can see them on the official site easily enough by clicking here. Anyway, our first game [...]

The third day of the World Cup isn’t yet over, but I can probably conclusively answer, it’ll be the constant drone of these badboys. Particularly during ITV’s coverage the noise like a million swarms of angry wasps is really rather prevalent. The Vuvuzela has probably been cause of as many headlines as any on-the-pitch action, [...]
