Charlie's Late Show
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Burnley (Women's FA Cup Round Four) *aet Not only my first women's match of the season, my first trip to the City Ground in over a year which is pretty bad for a Forest fan who's bouncing over the brilliance of the men's team right now. Forest women aren't doing bad themselves, top of the FA Women's National League North they are unbeaten so far but they did draw with Burnley in September, the Clarets are third in the same league and going well, tonight

Casual Fans
Liverpool 3-0 Nottingham Forest (Premier League) The wife’s sorted tickets for me and the lad to watch Forest play at Anfield. He’s been an avid Liverpool fan since they won the league in 2020 and has seen them play twice live so will be happy the seats are in the home end as he joins his fellow die-hards. Her company has some corporate numbers in the swanky Carlsberg Dugout Club and we’ve both been before and enjoyed our day out. Free food before the match, a free pint at h

Schoolnight Drinking
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Burnley (EFL Cup Round Two) I’m meeting the lads at 6pm, the Embankment pub on Awkwright Street just over the River Trent is destination to kick off proceedings, no business tonight, just pleasure, probably passing to pain in the morning from a heavy head filled of alcohol topped with a late night kebab. The young uber driver drops me outside the doors after I’ve given him a lecture on how to get on the property ladder, I’m ten minutes early and on form

Surrendering Leeds
Leeds United 2-1 Nottingham Forest (Premier League) It’s a game I’m not that fussed about going to in truth… My beloved Reds are in free fall without victory since the start of February, they can’t win on the road, the football and tactical approach to games in recent weeks, especially away from home, has been dire and awful to watch, and the Manager who all Forest fans like myself, love and adore, could be facing the sack should Forest suffer another inevitable away day bea

A Semi Road Trip
Manchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest (EFL Cup Semi-Final Second Leg) Prior to this two-leg tie, and aside from the playoffs of which I know, there’s been plenty of ups and downs in recent past, the last ‘major cup’ semi-final match that Nottingham Forest were involved in was way back in 1992, when the Reds beat Tottenham Hotspur (after a bomb scare and extra time) at White Hart Lane. Roy Keane scored the winner that day in the rain at the lane to set up a final at Wembley

Forest Fun At Rovers
Blackburn Rovers 1-4 Nottingham Forest (EFL Cup Round Four) It was supposed to be Notts County v Barnet on Tuesday night but for Saturday’s FA Trophy matches being annoyingly frozen off, instead replayed in slightly warmer conditions three days later at the expense of the originally scheduled National League fixture which I was set to attend. I didn’t get an invite to the Magpies re-arranged visit of Chorley which ended 2-1 to Notts, so work done for the year, books & stats

Forest Boot Spurs Out Of Carabao Cup
Nottingham Forest 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur (EFL League Cup Round Three) It’s not business but pleasure tonight, a club I’ve supported man and boy, going back to the mid eighties when under the days of the great Brian Clough, the City Ground had me hooked watching the likes of Neil Webb, Des Walker, Brian Rice and Tommy Gaynor. Back then of course, Nottingham Forest were a top league club, and these days, this season, alas, they are also a top league club, but struggling at the
