After another tough challenge presented by a lower league team in the 4th Round, which we evenually won with a 5-goal perfect penalty shoot-out, we are rewarded with a home tie in the 5th Round against a Jeckyl and Hyde Manchester United. Ticket prices are shocking: O.A.P. season ticket holder...
The first game at Ashton Gate was a true Marmite game: some fans loved the chess game that was played out, with a hard-fought 0-0, and the rest thought it was a terrible event, only marginlly better than jabbing a sharp stick in to your right eye. I am feet firmly in the former camp, and am...
In all fixtures between the 2 clubs, Forest have a 44% win rate and only a 22% loss rate. However, for the 4 times we have played them in the F.A. Cup, going back to 1922, we have a 100% win rate (the 1922 tie went to a replay after a 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate, Forest winning the replay 3-1 with...
Well, as my wise old pipe-smoking Granny would say, spitting a wad of chewed tobacco into the fire, "After the Lord Mayor's Show comes the Sh!t Show". So, yet again Forest are embarrassed by Blackpool, and rather than enjoy a bit of a winter break the squad has to prepare for a tough looking...
The 3rd Round draw eventually sees us paired against Blackpool, one of our many Nemesis opponents. Do we capitulate, or do we go on a glory-hunting Cup run?
After the first win of the season last Friday night, with Taiwo and Chris showing that they are both top-tier strikers, and Matt Turner basically telling Hendo there is no point coming to Forest while I'm here, the team visits a rather troubled ManUre. Owners hated by fans, but seemingly not...
Well, if no one else is bothered Here I go for a short lived spell of matchday thread starters. Last time at the WFCG, the game was EPIC. Samba's water bottle, MGW's penalty; Wembley on the horizon and return to the top flight. This time the Blunts may start as 2nd favourites, but for Forest a...
Has anyone received a new season card for the coming season?
When they went on sale back in March, I believe the Club stated that new cards would be issued this time around.
I don't know if anyone has received theirs, but neither Mrs s nor me have ours yet...
I see we are being linked with Chelsea's erstehile wonder kid at >£10m.
Not sure about whether he adds anything to us.
Obviously SC knows him from England Junior days.
Bugger... I've had to come here for anothe hit on the crack pipe
This is the antidote to "The Worst..."
Apologies if there are other threads already in existence... i did do a search and nothing came up, so here goes:
Without a doubt in my mind the Best Performance by a Red Award goes to Duncan McKenzie in the humiliation of Tony Book and the rest of his...
Best match day thread starter in the history of the game!
I was on tenterhooks days before the resumption of Championship batlles.
I am on tenterhooks now, waiting for Uncle congo's next educational, thrilling and downright brilliant thread for the coventry game.
I can't wait to learn the truth...
Well, as I can't find an Official FA Cup 3rd Round thread, I suppose I'll have to do one.
Promotion is virtually out of the question this season, and Relegation isn't, so let's give the FA Cup our best shot.
Play the strongest team we can, and tell the players to really go for it.
The FA Cup...
5th from bottom of the real table, but 4th from bottom on the Fair Play rankings.
3 sendings off and 28 yellow cards... are the refs picking on us or are we making up for our lack of talent by fouling our way?
If we were riding high people would say we are kicking our way to success.
As we are...
EM supposedly demanded an analysis as to why we didn't make the play-offs.
We were in the Top 6 for more weeks than we were outside of it, and week in, week out showed resilience and guts.
However ultimately we failed by 1 goal and 1 minute.
If you were writing the report, what would you put in...
Apologies if there is already a thread, but I stumbled across Robin's website and there are some very interesting articles there.
2 articles deal with the day Fawaz was told he had to sell Forest.
