Absolute carnage in the Turkish Super Cup final between Galatasaray and Fenerbache today. Last month Fenerbahce's players were attacked by opposing fans during a game with Trabzonspor. It was originally decided that Trabzonspor would have to play 6 games behind closed doors but that was...

The first round draw was made earlier and in the not too distant past we’d have been glued to our radios praying Brighton avoided a trip to some ghastly non league side and hope we could make the third round and the promise of a Premier League big boy, or Stoke City. All the Sussex clubs appear...

With Dunk and Gross both doubts for tomorrow who will captain the side? Options include Adam Lallana (who didn't play against AEK, so very likely to start but unlikely to last the full 90), Adam Webster (has captained the side before but didn't have his best game last time out against West...

One year ago today this happened. Little did we know what a master stroke Tony Bloom had pulled off. One year on - And we are doing this to Champions League sides - Lets hope to see a lot more of this over the next year starting Thursday night when we make our Europa League debut (who...

Bit of history created on the full time whistle in the City vs Newcastle game as we are top of the table overnight for the first time in our history. In fact we will be top for two nights. We’ve come close before, I think an away draw against Palace cost us a couple of seasons ago (possibly the...

Old story this but it’s been covered today on BBC show Close Calls: On Camera. Forest fan Bob Whetton collapsed outside the Amex before our game last October, swift action by St John Ambulance volunteers (including an 14 year old lad) and club doctor Rob Galloway saved his life. Link below...

Over on his social media Uwe Hünemeier has announced he’s retiring at the end of the season. Great player for us, can’t believe he only played 38 times (in all competitions) but he was always reliable when called upon and great backup to Dunk and Duffy over his time here.

Former Chelsea and Newcastle defender has been confirmed to have died in the earthquake that hit Turkey last week. In a real heartbreaking twist apparently he was due to fly to France just before the quake hit but cancelled his ticket at the last moment. RIP...

Sam Jewell has been confirmed as the new head of recruitment, he had been doing the job on an interim basis since Winstanley left for Chelsea. I believe Sam was very instrumental in the signing of a majority of our South American players...

Scorer of one of the most iconic FA Cup goals ever Ronnie Radford has died aged 79.

Wouldn't it have been cheaper for him just to buy out Tony Bloom? He'd have already had the manager he wanted so could have saved approx £40 million there between compensation to Tuchel and us for Potter. He wouldn't have had to splash £60+ million on Marc Cucurella and could have been 4th in...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/27/new-breed-super-coaches-has-blown-premier-league-wide-open/ Article in The Telegraph today about the new wave of coaches who are putting out teams to challenge the big boys and not merely play them in a damage limitation exercise. Most of the...

In the Orient vs Hartlepool match this afternoon the ref, Alan Young, blew for half time at 41 mins. After the 15 min break he then restarted the first half, played the remaining time, blew for half time and immediately ordered the teams change ends for the start of the second half. I'm assuming...

So tomorrow is fixture day, this seems to have crept up on us very quickly, I suppose with the late finish to last season and the Euro's starting we've not had much of a break from football like we would normally do. So start the speculation here, home or away opening day of the season? when...

Former West Ham and Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder has died at the age of 65 following a long battle with a brain tumour. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12232053/glenn-roeder-dies-aged-65-after-long-battle-with-brain-tumour# RIP.

The Liverpool win is undoubtedly the biggest win since we returned to top flight football and the riches of the Premier League. We were only thawted from ending their unbeaten home run by Liverpool's defeat to Burnley in their previous home game. This reminded me of when we beat Forest back in...

Former Fulham midfielder Papa Bouba Diop has died aged 42. Always thought he was decent at Fulham, tough midfielder built like a beast. RIP

Wigan have gone into administration. First club to be impacted by the shutdown of football, but sadly I doubt they will be the only ones effected. 1278289766379855872
