McCleary the Wonderkid

Following my club's fustrating failure to make any big signings during the transfer window, I'm pleased to be able to say that we have managed to sign a young fellow who looks very promising for the future. His name is Gareth McCleary, and he was bough

Where Will Robson Go?

In the latest of my transfer posts doomed to be outdated in the two seconds it takes for WordPress to post it: WHERE WILL BARRY ROBSON GO? The Dundee United captain and 1-time Scotland midfielder is the biggest domestic fish in the transfer barrel t

Forest v. Orient

Nottingham Forest go into tomorrow's massive game with Leyton Orient looking very weak up front. Nathan Tyson is still injured, while top-scorer Junior Agogo is away playing for Ghana in the African Cup of Nations. Colin Calderwood said at the start of

Did Colin want the Cup?

Rumours have been circulating on messageboards that Forest boss Colin Calderwood played a weakened team against Luton last night because he didn't want the FA Cup to interfere with his promotion plans. Wingers Kris Commons and Arron Davies were left on

Cup draw looms, another run please?

As the FA Cup draw beckons (3:15pm on BBC1 to be exact) it's time to start praying for some silverware. We have two chances, the Beer Cup and the FA Cup. In order to win trophies, you have to beat the best, so for us to beat Arsenal and progress in

Tyson kills off plucky Imps

Last night I experienced football commentary for the first time, and oh how much fun it was! I'd been denied a press pass by Forest, but went along anyway to record my commentary from right at the top of the Sir Brian Clough Stand. O.k, it wasn't live

Forest v Crewe

Dave Bassett: the master becomes the apprentice

A bad day on and off the pitch

Today is a day I would quickly like to forget. Forest were held to a 1-1 draw away at Lincoln City in the FA Cup 1st round, and although the match report on the website says they played all right, I can assure you they didn't. Lincoln had been hyping

Top by tonight?

Forest could end tonight top of League One on goal difference should they beat Southend at the City Ground, and Carlisle and Leyton Orient lose. Nathan Tyson looks set to start having capped an impressive substitute performance with his first league go

News Flash!

Nottingham Forest have announced they will be doing away with the traditional goalpost for future games, and instead replacing them with barn doors. They will also be cutting ties with Capital One, and instead of having a sponsor's name emblazoned on the

Hello fellow reds!

Hello, my name is Stu and here to blog on the mighty Nottingham Forest. As far as I'm aware I'm the only League One blogger so make the most of it. I'm a 24 year old Journalism student and am hoping to work for BBC Radio Nottingham when I graduate in s

The Lost Boys

Old Players, hot chicks and other random stuff Since we have a week long international break, and the huge number of Samp players making it to the national squads, I have nothing good to do. Got rid of Lambda Calculus and Parallel Algorithms earlier this

Football League Flashback -- Nottingham Forest Conquer Europe for the First Time

They might currently be languishing in League One -- but Nottingham Forest have won as many European Cups as Manchester United.
