Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately
115 financial charges - PL will get back to you on that in a few years
Vitor Pereira you wondrous little magician.
Unai Emery tried the rotation game and it fell flat on its face.
Against the odds, Pereira pulled out the old UNO reverse card, made 8 changes and beat Chelsea at The Bridge, surely securing Forest’s Premier League status and resting key players before another historic night on Thursday.
Pereira was right in his pre-match interview. It’s not always about tactics, it’s about spirit.
You can’t quantify that on a spreadsheet, or put it on a graphic on the TV screens.
But this Forest side have it in abundance, and Vitor Pereira has found a way to draw it out of this group of players, who we all know are too good to go down.
A European semi-final, 10 games unbeaten and another season of what will inevitably be Box Office antics in the Premier League.
Wolves have beaten Aston Villa to get to 13 points for the season so far…
Derby’s unwanted record of 11 points across a full Premier League season will stand for another year as the worst in Premier League history.
🌳 This Nottingham Forest fan gives his opinion on a potential relegation:
🗣️ “Championship again for you soon."
Oh yeah, 3PM kick offs, cheap booze, ground filled with non-plastics and no VAR.
How on earth will we survive?”
He's got a great point to be fair. Football without VAR is and always will be BETTER. 👏👏
VAR offsides are fundamentally flawed.
Why are they using computer generated graphics of players to justify a decision?
This is wide open to abuse for manipulation & corruption. I can create this image using AI and I can move any digital player anywhere I want. I can nudge him a few millimeters to the left or right. We’re being shown these computer generated graphics and we’re all supposed to swallow it as gospel.
Why aren’t we seeing the actual real match still footage and then the lines being drawn? Sky can get any angle and any close up they want for their coverage & promos, so don’t give me any nonsense about live replay footage being blurred or angles being wrong. It’s nonsense.
We’re being sold a kipper and it smells well fishy.

🏴✈️ 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 | For Nottingham Forest's away match to Fenerbahçe, supporters must use a coach to get to the stadium. 🚌
Club owner Evangelos Marinakis decided to cover the costs so that the fans do not pay any travel fees ontop of their match ticket (£53,500) 💰
Neco Williams, our Welsh Warrior. The man who leaves everything on the pitch. Gives 100% of every minute of every match. You get a pass for that, rest up young man. You deserve it. #NFFC
An incredibly heavy heart having been told of the passing of John Robertson, Forest's greatest ever player, my coach at Leicester and one of the loveliest, kindest hearted humans I've met.
As a kid he was a hero on Star Soccer with his beguiling wing play, trademark shoulder drop, go past the fullback and cross. When I finally got to Forest I wore white tape under my shinpads in homage to him.
At Leicester with Martin O'Neill he knew of my issues and problems and instead like many, who mocked them, he put a literal arm around me, had words of empathy and kindness and genuinely gave me support. The fact that the lads at Leicester loved him so much was a joy to see, a living legend getting a lot of love from a hard nosed, experienced dressing room.
When I retired and started doing radio, I'd often be at Villa Park, the radio point being near the tunnel. More than once I'd see a plume of ciggy smoke coming from the tunnel an hour after the end of a game, Robbo would poke his head around the corner and say "I'm listening! I can f***** hear you from here!".
Last time I saw him was at the World Famous City Ground where we sat together in a box watching the Trickies. He regaled everyone with great stories, humour and that something extra that he, and another great man dearly missed, Trevor Francis, had. A warmth that years of the gnarly industry that is pro football never dimmed nor affected. He was just "Robbo", a giant of my childhood, a giant of a club we both were lucky enough to represent, but a good man, just a bloody good man.
Sending all my love to Robbo's family and friends, to everyone at Forest and those who were lucky enough to spend time with him.
Last year it was Gary Shaw, this year Robbo, the footballing Gods haven't been so kind in recent years.
Robbo, you'll be sorely missed, thank you for your inspiration as a player, your support as a coach and lasting legacy as a lovely human being.
Rest in peace, Robbo.

Ryanair refused to refund Stephen Crean’s flight to watch Nottingham Forest play SK Sturm Graz in the Europa League earlier this month, as he couldn’t board the flight due to his stab wounds.
However, British Airways have now offered the British hero two business class return tickets to Porto to see Nottingham Forest take on Sporting Braga next year. ✈️
Great gesture. 👏
