  • Black box?

    Bin the first Europe campaign in 30 years just as we get to the business end?!

    May as well put the club in a black box and bury it

    If it guaranteed survival, maybe.

    But it doesn’t!!!

  • The go to podcast for every thing Forest

    Matt is a great host, with a great team of regulars, Pete, Greg, Mickey, Emily, Temps, Paul and co. Also has great contributions from ex players such as Kelvin Wilson and James Perch to broadcaster Darren Fletcher. The content is always fresh and constantly seems to captures the thoughts, worries and expectations that I’m going through. The number of times recently (too recently…) these guys have jumped on to create a pod cast at an ungodly hour when Forest make an announcement (Dyche sacking, ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Edu out but what next? | Jobi McAnuff on Nottingham Forest
Q: What do you make of Edu's departure and is there a strong take on him going?
The consensus is that Edu likely wasn't the sole source of the problem; his departure might help, but lasting improvement requires clearer structures, defined responsibilities, and a more coherent leadership chain.
Nottingham Forest fans clear on ticket prices | Tinie Tempah interview
Q: Who's going to win the Premier League?
I'm an Arsenal fan, so I've got to back the Gunners, but I don't want to jinx it and I hope we see a competitive end to the season.
Nottingham Forest fans clear on ticket prices | Tinie Tempah interview
Q: But over to Tinie Tempah. Tinie Tempah, not our usual guest, it's normally a footballer or a Forest fan, but great to have you with us. How are you doing today?
Yeah, it feels good to be back in Nottingham and I'm excited to chat about the project, how volunteering can unlock access to great gigs, and how Rock Corps has evolved from New York to Nottingham, with a strong community impact.
Brighton 2 Nottingham Forest 1 match verdict | Big players cost Reds!
Q: What do you think is going on with the players?
I think if they take the lead for Morgan, they should be up for it, shouldn't they? Because he doesn't give up at any point.
Brighton 2 Nottingham Forest 1 match verdict | Big players cost Reds!
Q: Is that the performance of a team that gets relegated?
It could well be, Matt. We've had four different coaches, haven't we, in the season, and different styles of play.
