Now then, I see victory over Peru keeps Argentina's World Cup hopes alive. They just need a result
against Uruguay on Wednesday. The newspaper said that 'Anything less than Palermo's ninety third
minute winner would probably have seen an end to Maradona's pioneering style of International
management'.
Under darkened, autumnal skies, the scene was set; A near capacity City Ground buzzing, thousands
of away fans having made the long trip down from the North East. With many watching on T.V screens
around the world the teams walking out of the tunnel were set to impress, and certainly did not let
the neutrals [.
Billy Davies has been doing a fair amount to endear himself to the fans recently, with exciting
signings, straight talking and – most importantly – three wins on the trot! Maybe this was
because he knew he would be facing the Nottingham public on 12 November at The Approach, scene of
many a great 'Audience [.

Myself and Rich Crouch join the Left Lion team in the studio for an irreverent natter about the
Reds, including Rich's stalking of various Forest players around Nottingham and some of the most
bizarre Forest-themed music ever recorded. You can download the Left Back podcast or listen to it
online on the Left Lion site.
The great Dylan Thomas once wrote, "Wales is the land of my fathers, and my fathers can have it."
Under Cardiff Skies, it was clear that the inhabitants were somewhat more passionate with the fans
in good voice ahead of their side, Cardiff's tie with Nottingham Forest. The teams strolled out,
once again, as with the Forest [.
Under the sure setting in of Autumn's darkened skies, and with the country's fireworks primed for
the evenings festivities, Nottingham Forest found themselves, once again, facing an opposition
from the upper reaches of the Championship, themselves hoping to light the very skies for the City
Ground faithful, with a victory and three points that would [.
When Colin Calderwood guided Nottingham Forest back into the Championship after a three year exile
in League One, the Scot knew he needed to add some firepower to his squad if they were going to
live up to his ambition of producing back to back promotions. The £2.65 million acquisition of
Robert Earnshaw certainly got the [.
Kelvin Wilson is no stranger to Nottinghamshire football. The Nottingham born defender has turned
out for teams either side of the Trent, in Notts County and Nottingham Forest. He is also a man
held in the highest regard by his current boss, Billy Davies, who signed Wilson for Preston North
End and then for current [.
Another splendid "Audience With..." evening at The Approach, this time with Forest's own WMD Billy
Davies. "Don't believe anything you read," Billy advised us, "...or half of what you hear. Cos it's
bulls**t!" To be honest, I was expecting the evening to be very diplomatic, filled with very
carefully practised responses after all you could [.
"I'm quite shy and retiring in private. I don't have much self confidence and I never swear." At
last night's Audience With... session at The Approach, which I'm sure will remain a talking point
for several days, Billy Davies showed he was a master of irony. He was also a deft interviewee,
dodging awkward questions, but still [.
December is traditionally a time for reflection – a chance to assess triumphs and failings as the
year winds down to its end. A new one waits in the wings, filled with the apparent possibility that
we can address those failings and conjure new triumphs; but now is a time for totting up scores. It
doesn't [.
Nigel Doughty is a man who knows exactly what he wants from life. The millionaire has conquered the
business world in his generation and has seen his private equity business Doughty Hansen collect
total assets of around £8 million. The Newark born man has also pumped around £50 million into
the club of his dreams, Nottingham [.
The new Left Back podcast from Left Lion, featuring myself and Rich Crouch representing LTLF, is
available now. What with all the palaver over the Trent this week, we and regular Notts County
correspondent Jacob went head-to-head to thrash out all the details of local football, including
what Tord Grip will do for money if [.
A glimpse into the future...
Breaking news: Kleenex supplies in Derbyshire have just run out. "It's a bigger outrage than when
Diego Maradona punched the ball past Peter Shilton in 1986. It's a bigger disgrace than when
Zinedine Zidane butted Marco Materazzi three years ago," fumes the Derby Telegraph on its
tear-stained pages. The strains of mournful violins can be heard across [.
