Lessons in humility

I saw this article by a Swansea follower, and it makes an interesting comparison between the attitudes of Leeds United and their supporters, and the attitudes of Reds supporters after not achieving promotion twice in a row. Broadly speaking, most Reds fans learnt a few lessons in the first two seasons, we stopped bragging about [...]

The least popular man in Nottingham?

Let’s get this straight; I like(d) Kris Commons. I thought he was the best player on the park when Stoke came to visit four years ago, I know that he was capable of doing great things in a Red shirt, and I also like the fact that he was one of many Forest fans in [...]

Breaking business news

May 2009 The manager of the McDonald’s branch on Radcliffe Road has reported a sharp downturn in profits for the 2008-9 financial year. Nottingham Forest Blog overheard this telephone conversation with the East Midlands regional manager: “Unfortunately one of our regular customers disappeared in May last year. He said that he worked at the City [...]

"He does know what he’s doing"

Colin Fray has written an article on the criticism that CC faced during the season, and the post-promotion reaction of Messrs Calderwood and Arthur. As you might expect, CC shies away from sticking two fingers up at his detractors, but gently makes the point that achieving promotion should calm at least some of the criticism. [...]

Photo galleries

The photos are organised into two slideshows on Flickr: the match itself, and the post-match celebrations. [...]

Couldn’t have put it better myself

So much of last week seems almost like a dream; but one thing that I know I did not imagine was the wonderful reaction from the Yeovil supporters, who stayed long after the final whistle to applaud both the team and the fans. There are also reports of Yeovil fans standing outside of their supporters’ [...]

30 great things about last Saturday

1. Promotion and getting out of this hellish league (obviously) 2. Pre-match optimism and atmosphere 3. Jules’s goal – crunching tackle, fine finish 4. The atmosphere once the first goal went in; it was the loudest I have heard the City Ground in many a year 5. More fine goals from Krissy and Lewis 6. [...]

Nottingham Forest 3-2 Yeovil Town

I really don’t think it has sunk in yet, it almost feels like a dream… It was a [...]

YYYYEEEESSSSSS!!!!!

Match report to follow soon, but in the meantime, Thank God for that! UUUUUU RRRRREEEEDDDDDSSSS!!!!!!!!

Done and dusted

I don’t want to harp on about it, but I think it is fair to say that everyone in football should be glad that the Leeds saga is over. I cannot see how it would be sustainable for Leeds to get the points returned, especially at this stage of the season – I personally think [...]
