The Athletic came out with an interesting stat today... It's the great #NFFC achievement most fans have never heard of. For 4,058 successive games, the club have picked a 'homegrown' player in their senior matchday squad - a sequence stretching back to 1941. But how long can that run last?

Fill ya boots, la! #youReds

After some sort of winter pause and a surprise FFP charge, league football will make its return on Saturday evening when Nuno's mighty reds visit the London District of Brentford. The feature narrative for this match will no doubt be Ivan Toney's return from his 8 month ban for damaging the...

Does football need a reformation moment? If a modern day Martin Luther was going to nail a declaration against the football authorities and where they're taking the game, what would the equivalent of the 95 Theses be? And could fans unite around them?

Look past their win against the villa, which to be fair was a genius move to play Garnacho centrally and have him run against the high line. We will be a different proposition. A new hope filled with confidence. The clichés will be out as the lights are switched on for the evening match on the...

The Toon are in a poor run of form. They look tired still, as they have for a few weeks now. They playing on empty becaise so many games and so muchbl injury. 🎻 Luton did them today. Let's not disrespect the Hatters, but they played the Black & White at the best of times. Forest on the other...

Passed away, aged 80. I've read so many biogs and heard interviews on radio and pospodcasts etc where they say what an innovator he was. He coached some good teams over the years, including his England team. Had a colourful out-of-football career too

Some tournaments just trip off the tongue Mexico 82, Italia 90, South Africa 2010. Even in its own special way, Qatar 22. So for 2030, to mark the centenaray of the World Cup Tournament FIFA have nominated [checks notes] 6 countries on 3 continents. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67010609

I wanted to pay tribute to the lads from last season, especially the 3 homegrown players. It must have been so hard for them, especially the academy lads. This season was not just about the football. They had to be central to the making of a team that understood Nottingham. They were the...

Anyone taking the train to Liverpool will find themselves going through the Williamson Tunnel as they approach the terminus at Lime Street. The Tunnel is hewn out of a Sandstone Escarpment that was pushed up by the Bowland Glacia that shaped the geology of the Mersey basin. I'm not sure if that...

According to Pete O'Rourke, Forest are after Van Hooijdonk's step-son, Sydney. The player has scored 13 goals in 29 games and has a playing style reminiscent of Pierre...

Cam an get ya peanuts! The mighty reds visit the London Stadium for this week's anxiety ritual. It's difficult to know which will be the more anxious of the two teams? A season ago, West Ham were blowing bubbles in the lower reaches of the European football system, this season they've looked...

I'll tek one for team. Talk among yer sens, I'll be back later wi an intro text. -- EDIT -- For Christmas 1973, I was gifted the Super Striker Soccer FA Cup Edition. 20 little men with heads that could be pressed to make their leg swing and kick a ball around a felt pitch. There were also 2...

I can't find the old Scottish Football Thread, maybe it got done in great delete. Anyway, two sides of sportsmanship here...

If you previously had any delusions that this season was going to be anything other than a probable relegation dogfight I hope you're now smelling the coffee. This isn't about the the size of the squad, the level of investment, the alleged meddling, the suspected leaks. It's about the brutal...

Billy Gilmour going out on loan, it seems. According to BUPA Merchant, Owen 'Brien Forest among teams monitoring the stuation

A simple proposition... Each month you have to predict how many points we'll take in the calendar month... 2pts for a correct guess. 1pt for within a point of the correct total. 1pt bonus if your correct guess is more than 2pts clear of the average predictions. Entries must be made before...

I don't mean this like anti-christ. I mean it like an antidote. Not the antidote to Clough himself but the spectre of Clough that has haunted every manager to follow him (with poss exception of Frank Clark). Cooper could not be any more unlike Clough if he tried. Their personality, leadership...

I was surprised to hear on The Athletic podcast that we're in for Plymouth striker Luke Jephcott. This even has a mention in the NEP, but that's not something I read much these days. Even those **** at **** have covered it. So I was surprised he doesn't yet have a thread on here. What's...
