Nottingham Forest 5 – 0 Queens Park Rangers

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

My first midweek game in ages against an “ambitious” side with lots of money and love of merry-go-rounds saw 23500 at the City Ground – a decent attendance for a cold Tuesday night, especially as QPR didn’t bring that many. Mr Davies saw one change from the team against Reading, with James Perchio replacing the [...]

Is Joe Garner leave us? Plus Perchio, Matty and Moses: news roundup

With the news confirmed that Matt Thornhill has left for an initial month’s loan (possibly to be extended) at Cheltenham Town, Vital Forest report that combative-and-mardy-but-kind-of-likeable forgotten man Joe Garner could also be leaving the City Ground on loan, to either Carlisle or Millwall. In the meantime, Colin Neil Warnock has said that Forest have not [...]

Psycho, Perchio, Shoreyo and Billio: news roundup

Some bloke called Stuart Pearce who says that he used to play for us is now saying that we are going to win the league as we have “spent a few bob in the summer”. As we are planning on spending, not selling, Forest have rejected a “derisory” offer from Newcastle for James Perch, with [...]

After our cup exploits against Birmingham, Billy reverted back to his (probably) first choice line-up, in an orthodox 4-4-2 – with a surprise return for Earnie and no place, even on the bench, for the Moooooooooooooooose. Camp Gunter Morgan Wilson Shorey Cohen McKenna Majewski Anderson Earnshaw Blackstock The first half was as good a performance [...]

Dele to stay, Shorey to leave, “Forest to return to Premier League”: news roundup

Transfer rumours abound, with Ipswich interested in Dele Adebola, and Billy Davies quashing rumours about Victor Moses, while reflecting on our cup exit to Birmingham. In the meantime, Billy also says that we should “make the most” of Nicky Shorey before his likely return to Aston Villa. Elsewhere, not-actually-Irish former striker Tony Cascarino is so [...]

William McIntosh Davies

I finally got round to watching “The Damned United” the other day. There was one point in the film where Sam Longson (chairman of Derby County) said that the hierarchy at a football club was “chairman, directors, players, fans and at the bottom the manager”. It’s no secret that I was pretty ambivalent about Billy [...]
