Dex on fire, Campo, Tys & more from the Mirror: news roundup

LTLF 20 November @ 04:02 AM EST
Reports suggest that one of our crocked strikers, Dexter Blackstock, could make a return in tomorrow's match at Middlesbrough, but also that Nathan Tyson will remain on the sidelines for a few weeks yet. Chris Gunter missed Wales' match last week but should be fit to resume tomorrow. For all you stats fans, Forest are now [. Click to continue reading...

Raddy the baddie and Billy for Scotchland? News roundup

LTLF 18 November @ 04:13 PM EST
Raddy Majewski will hopefully become a permanent fixture at Forest, although there are implications that he could be holding out for a bit more money (who said that Polish workers are content with low wages?) In the meantime, Craig Broon has suggested that Wee Billy Davies could be the next manager of the Scotchland national team; [. Click to continue reading...

Full-backs and half season tickets: news roundup

LTLF 13 November @ 06:40 AM EST
The biggest stories this week seem to have surrounded full-backs, both at the club and linked with moves to the Reds. James Perchio, who is hoping to win a spot at right-back, has made it through a friendly against Barnsley without too many ill-effects; Chris Gunter, the current incumbent of the right-back slot has picked up [.

Bristol City: dull – news roundup

LTLF 09 November @ 04:49 AM EST
After Saturday's dull match against Bristol City (which, I reckon is down to Bristol playing for a draw) the spotlight falls on David Pleat. Apparently, Billy has his eyes on five new players in January (including long-term target Gareth Bale) and wants the transfer acquisition committee to get out of his way.

Forest on the BBC: news roundup

LTLF 02 November @ 02:57 PM EST
Following a fairly successful appearance on BBC2 yesterday (doesn't Gabby Logan look a bit like a lion?), the nation's favourite broadcaster has offered us some tasty reaction to the Cardiff v Forest match. Firstly, an audio interview with Lewis and Chrissy Cohen, and a few words from Billy lamenting the inability to take chances and the [. Click to continue reading...

Last Gasp Lewis: Cardiff City 1-1 Nottingham Forest

LTLF 01 November @ 04:29 PM EST
Sorry it has been a while, leaves on the line or something. This isn't a proper match report as I only watched on the TV, but I can safely say that this was a cracking match that I think made a decent advertisement for football at this level. The stoppage-time equaliser by Lewis McGugan will [...] Click to continue reading...

LTLF 20 October @ 12:13 PM EST
Our exploits against the Geordies at the weekend has earned us three players in the Team of the Week.

After Newcastle United comes Barnsley: news roundup

LTLF 19 October @ 04:18 AM EST
Our victory over Newcastle United is the main talking point today as the Geordies come to terms with not being top of the pile and bemoan their club's predicament. And maybe Kevin Nolan will learn to keep his mouth shut apart from a chant of "you've never won fuck all" it's [...] Click to continue reading...

Nottingham Forest 1 – 0 Newcastle United: match report (but no podcast)

LTLF 18 October @ 02:12 PM EST
Sorry folks the late kick off meant that we didn't get chance to record a podcast after the game yesterday. So you'll have to make do with a traditional match report. On the way to the ground, Radio Nottingham announced the line up as a 4-5-1: Campo in goal, Gunter and Cohen [...] Read the [...] Click to continue reading...

Returns: news roundup

LTLF 16 October @ 03:03 AM EST
Ryan Taylor returns for Newcastle, with Zurab Khizanishvili leading the line for them (I love Georgian names).

The geordies are coming: news roundup

LTLF 14 October @ 04:18 AM EST
Little Robert Earnshaw will be out for a month with a calf injury sustained on international duty. We may have six strikers but I regard Robbie as one of the best (although he needs a sustained run in the team), so this is a bit of a blow, in my opinion. Ned Kelly [...] Read the [...] Click to continue reading...

Fabio, Marlon and Billy Davies: news roundup

LTLF 12 October @ 05:24 AM EST
Fabio Capello thinks Trevor Francis was the best Englishman to play in Italy. Trevor Francis thinks Fabio Capello is the new Brian Clough. Is Marlon Harewood misunderstood?

Following his stunning/lucky/wind-assisted/goalkeeper-assisted (delete as applicable) goal on Saturday, young Pole Raddy Majewski has been named in the Football League's Team of the Week (alongside ex-Red Sammy Clingan, who scored another cracking free-kick at the weekend).

Posh reactions: news roundup

LTLF 04 October @ 07:40 AM EST
Billy reckons our unsung players will make the difference but it's the glamour boys who made the headlines yesterday (and what a headline that is). BD praised our battling qualities, saying we couldn't play a passing game against Peterborough, but it didn't matter. Posh are scratching their heads at their start to [.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Scunthorpe United: podcast

LTLF 01 October @ 04:01 PM EST
I am once again joined by the Maradona of the Midlands for a discussion on the joys of three points, two goals and another clean sheet.
