    Match thread Spurs v Forest sponsored by the Korean Tourist Board

    As i have put on another thread, I am staying on match thread writing, on the same winner- stays- on basis that applies to pool tables and Vital match threads. I am in east London, killing a bit of time before seeing Nottingham- born, but London based Stereo MCs support the Happy Mondays, so I...

    Nottingham Forest v Fulham- sponsored by Barbour jackets, Creme Eggs and people who have Pope on "Ignore"

    Pope's response to yet another person saying that they had put him on "ignore" so they don't have to read his contradictory opinions delivered with a dose of disdain was to threaten to start on the Fulham match thread. Since (i) that is an annoying threat (ii) he did not do the last one which...

    Blackpool v Nottingham Forest FA Cup Replay

    It was approaching announcement of the teams, and there was no thread, as everyone is too busy displaying their differences of view on the nuances of accountancy practice and the different sophisticated approaches we all have to understanding the technical aspects of runnig a football club...

    Forest players at AFCON

    I started clogging up the January transfer window with my musings on this, so thought I would start a new thread. Forest have Aina (but NOT Awoniyi) in the Nigeria squad. Niakhate and Kouyate are with Senegal. Boly, Aurier and Sangare are with Ivory Coast, the hosts. One way of looking at who...

    Football programmes: Forest and others

    I have around 100- 200 football programmes, many of which are Forest from the late 1970s and onwards, some Shrewsbury Town from late 70s to 80s, some Chelsea from when I used to take my late step- son there in the 2000s. We have just moved house and my wife is, perfectly reasonably, pointing out...

    Viv Anderson, really good footballer.... and first black player for England

    There is an in- depth interview with Viv Anderson in today's Guardian, about which most of us will know many of the underlying facts, but it is well written and interesting nonetheless. I thought I would post it to cheer us up in a week that other Nottingham Forest legends have died...

    Cursed Bus Seat Third Kit

    This will be a short thread I suspect. I bought the bus seat third shirt when Forest were doing an offer on it earlier this season, and I don't think that Forest have gained as much as a solitary point while wearing it. Is that right? There was a yellow away kit a few years ago that seemed to...

    Derby County in the playoffs- good or bad?

    Derby County and Peterborough United are vying for the final play- off spot, each away (Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley respectively) at a team that is already in the play- offs and can neither improve nor worsen their final position. Basically, due to goal difference, Peterborough United have...

    50 years of FOReST badge

    Here is a very interesting interview with David Lewis, who entered a competition in the Evening Post to design the new Forest badge, which is now no longer the new badge, but a 50- year old design classic.

    International Break News and Forest

    I thought I would start a thread since Forest have the chance either to benefit from the International Break or see their players injured. As a starter, Samba is on the bench for France, and Mangala has come on for Belgium in their successful game against Sweden.

    Everton charged with FFP breach

    Let's hope it leads to some form of urgent points deduction. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/mar/24/everton-charged-with-alleged-breach-of-premier-leagues-ffp-rules They will be needing to collect a lot of giros to help them out financially too.

    Scousers

    Traditionally, the disdain on here for scousers has been directed at Liverpool FC and their unpleasant fans. This season, Forest find themselves competing with Everton. This behaviour from Everton fans https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-everton-ceo-headlock-safety-28953677...

    Nottingham, picture of concentrated sporting excellence

    Trent Bridge, WFCG and Meadow Lane in one shot. And all with their floodlights on. Don't forget either Nottingham Panthers (not in picture), or Torville and Dean, Nottingham City Council- sponsored worldbeaters, and one of the most- watched sporting moments ever.

    Exploits / sightings of Ex- Forest players

    I have just arrived in Croatia, where one of the big games of the season is happening, Dinamo Zagreb v Hajduk Split. I have a soft spot for Hajduk, and sometimes watch them. But tonight they have Filip Krovinovic as their lone striker....
