    The Official F A Cup (Replay) Thread: Forest v Bristol City (Kick Off: 19:45, Wednesday 7th February (Provisional)

    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...

    The Official F.A. Cup Thread, 2023 -24 Season: Bristol City v Nottingham Forest, K.O. Friday 26th January 2024 at 19:45

    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...

    The Official F.A. Cup Thread: Blackpool v Nottingham Forest (3rd Rd Replay) Wednesday 17th Jan 2024

    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 Official F.A. Cup Thread, 2023-24 Season: Nottingham Forest v Blackpool; Sun 7th Jan; K.O. 14:00

    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?

    Official Matchday Thread: Manchester United v Nottingham Forest; K.O. 15:00, Sat 26th August 2023

    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...

    FA Cup 3rd Round: Nottingham Forest v Cardiff City; City Ground 9/1/21; 12:00 Hours

    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...

    Championship Fair Play League 2020-21 Season

    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...

    Why we didn't make the Play-offs

    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...
