The sources of ill-feeling
Further to the speculation over Grant Holt’s future, the Evening Post are reporting that Charlie McParland has left the club: “Both McParland and Reds chief executive Mark Arthur declined to comment”. And the NEP comments board attached to this story suggests that Gary Fleming has also left. No confirmation from the club as yet regarding [...]

I’m not normally one for slating the manager, especially when he has only been in place for a single season, but with our fantastic form and even better PR over the last ten years, the club has pretty much exhausted my patience. Which is why I’m amazed (but ultimately not surprised) to hear that the [...]
Read More...The healing starts here…
Yesterday I had a kickabout with my work colleagues for the first time in a couple of months*. As you can imagine, living in the West Midlands, I am surrounded by Villa and Liverpool fans (I work within sight of Villa Park, as for the scousers, don’t ask!). So I am used to the “why [...]
Read More...Season ticket prices and other news…
I still cannot face talking about last Friday. I think I will bury my head in a bucket of sand while this Sunday’s final is on. Anyway, in light of relegation (well, it feels like it), Forest have announced reductions in season ticket prices. If they didn’t, there would be trouble, as the debate on [...]
Read More...The Curse of the Shirt
I’ve never had a name or number put on the back of my replica shirt. I only tend to buy (or be given) the shirts when they are sold off cheap so it didn’t really make sense. But there was always a player whose name I would have had on there … However, as I [...]
Read More...Retained players
According to BBC Nottingham, the list of retained players will be announced today. In my view, bye-bye to: Krissy (not as big a loss as one would think – never fit and recently been playing well, just as his contract was due) Gary Holt (had his best match in a Forest shirt in the first [...]

He saw the great red engine, lying on its side. It was unrecognizable as the proud creature he had met at Crap End, the one that had scattered his wits with its hard-edged beauty. … Now the engine lay twisted and mangled, its old rotten heart ripped out and scattered among the trees, a charred [...]

Psycho for Manager says the News of the World. Bollocks. Not going to happen and we don’t want it to happen – defensive, not enough goals, no adventure. Rosenior lasts ten minutes in his new job – I said before that he came across as a nice guy. Shame. Robson to manage the Blunts – [...]

“There is a correlation between stability and performance. Clubs with fewest managers over the period, such as Manchester United and Charlton perform better than clubs which have had most managers … Managers do better if they are given time and can learn from past experiences. “ say the academics. Currently we are averaging a manager [...]
Read More...History Repeating
Rant first: their number 3 is a dirty cheating bastard and Graham Poll is a joke. I hold Paul Hart solely responsible for our last play-off defeat. If he had started with his regular centre-half, Jon Hjelde, instead of his pet, John Thompson, I cannot imagine us conceding four goals in the way that we [...]
