Following on from a typical Forest run of games after the last international break where we took maximum points from the trickier fixtures against Luton and Derby but failed to register any points against then struggling sides Wigan and Hull; I’m hoping that...

There are days when your football club stands head and shoulders above your rivals and notably yesterday was the display by the Forza Garibaldi. It was simply the most poignant thing I’ve ever seen at The City Ground. The Last Post bugle always puts hairs on the back...

In this part of the world, there is only one true derby game. Leicester think they’re part of the rivalry but in comparison to this fixture, they’re a distant relative. Growing up as a kid, I’ve been refused entry at a mates’ house by his Dad...

So the big one on Saturday and I can feel myself doing my best Phil Mitchell impression with some big sighing going on at the thought of defeat. It’s one of those where it feels like Christmas but then you know if could be the worst day ever too. Live and die by...

The East Midlands derby is an odd one for me. Not only do I no longer live in the region, I’m slightly different to the average Forest fan as I was born in the Queen Mary Maternity Home. In Derby. However, my loyalties are far from divided. Football clubs are about so...

With the game coming up on Saturday, I thought this would be a good opportunity to draw upon some Forest Derby memories from years gone by to try and sum up what the fixture means to both sets of fans across the A5-2 (spot the deliberate typo). It was 2011 and at the...

So I was out walking the dog this afternoon, thinking about gathering some views about the Forest Derby game when my younger cousin messaged me to say she was sending an article over on how excited she is about Saturday. Spooky. I think it’s fair to say that Stella...
