News roundup: new strikers – Adebola and McGoldrick?

Been a couple of days since the last round-up, so here we go: Richard Tait is out for revenge following his release. Preston have rejected our bids for Paul McKenna. Rob Earnshaw is an old man. Billy Davies will be sending some of the kids, and others, out on loan this season. Forest have bid [...]

Nottingham Forest 3 – 1 Southampton

Standard Podcast: Play in Popup

A flattering result for a lacklustre performance. Smith in goal, Gunther, Chambers, Breckin (c), Lynch across the back, McCleary, McGugan, Moose, Cohen (PotY) in a non-existent midfield and Earnshaw and Blackstock up-front. Plus the podcast includes some thoughts on the season just past, plus a quick look forwards to the summer and beyond.

News roundup: playing for pride

Tys and Turner are out for tomorrow’s end of season party, but the Mousse may make a return. While Southampton only have pride to play for. Dexter Blackstock sounds keen to stay next season (although that may be related to his proposed £3K/week pay rise) – and says Billy will be looking for a top [...]

Southampton facing a points deduction

On paper this looks like really good news for us (I also think that it is fair that clubs are deducted points for administration, even though it is a nightmare for us fans – but that’s for another day). Southampton have had ten points deducted after their parent company went into administration. Surely this helps [...]

News Roundup: Davies v Davey, Sousa and Blackstock, McSheffrey, Psycho, delusions and Wenger

Davies and Davey go to war over Billy’s Chris Morgan comments – you can also hear Billy’s post-match comments. Paolo Sousa says that Dexter Blackstock came to us without his knowledge. Is Gary McSheffrey on his way? Stuart Pearce unsurprisingly spotted at punk gig. Are we a chronically deluded Championship side, as the author argues [...]

News Roundup: local hero returns, Forest look for players and sponsors

As the Geordies bring in an inexperienced local hero to try and save them in their relegation battle, our inexperienced local hero (that link gets me every time) who couldn’t quite save us in one of our many relegation battles returns to the City Ground. And is beaten. The excellently named Lincoln striker Danny N’Guessan [...]

News Roundup: around the country

Viv Anderson reckons Mr Clough is better than Alex Ferguson. But we all knew that anyway. Dexter Blackstock is surprised that QPR let him leave (in fact he sounds quite annoyed about it). Brian Laws is now looking at Dele Adebola and Grant Holt is League Two Player of the Year. Dirty Leeds are looking [...]

News Roundup: Blackstock and Harewood, Bencherif, Gunter and Turner

With the loan deadline fast approaching, will we be signing Dexter Blackstock? And speaking of strikers, our Marlon claims it was Villa, not him, who said no to coming here. Hamza Bencherif plays for his contract (with Davies making it through another game unscathed) while Gunter eyes his return to Spuz. And Turner is hoping [...]

A great result, but let’s not get carried away

Amidst the euphoria of Forest actually winning a match against relegation rivals, I am going to be boring and sound a note of caution: Southampton aren’t that good! This match report gives a Saints’-eye view of proceedings; along with other reports I have read, it seems as though this was Southampton’s weakest performance in a [...]

Southampton 0-2 Nottingham Forest (updated)

Having commented in our last podcast that Forest have a rather chequered history in “six-point” matches, we have only gone and won it (with a clean sheet as well). Praise be! Update (Sat, 6.35pm): Quote of the day comes from the manager, talking about Joe Garner’s 35-yard lob: “I knew as soon as the ball [...]
