Blackpool away: weekend preview

After a fairly lacklustre display in the first half against Ipswich, it was good to see some goals flying in (regardless of how). And this weekend sees us visit the UK’s premier holiday destination – Blackpool. After their severe 4-1 beating by Newcastle, they may go into the match with their heads down. However, it [...]

Forest enter the final furlong…

Proof that Forest are no longer so profligate

The Football League have published the 2007-8 statistics on agent’s fees. Pleasingly, although Forest appear to have spent more money (£76,100) than many of their League One counterparts, they are nowhere near Leeds United, who spent £373,000.
