No footy today. Forest are away at Milwall rearranged to Sunday 3pm as Milwall were briefly in Europe. Ironically they were attacked and had players racially abused in their game on Thursday. Ironic because Milwall have/had a bad reputation for mindless violence and racism. It's about the only away ground I have not been to in the top 2 divisions.

Forest are in a bit of trouble at the moment. We are in the bottom 3 of the "championship" (The jazzed up version of Division 2). Last Sunday saw their first league win, an emotional 2-1 over West Ham. It was the first league game since the death at 69 of Brian Clough. Clough was Forest's manager from the dog days of 1975 (bottom 5 of Division 2, sound familiar?) through promotion in 1977, Division 1 title in 1978, League cup in 1978, European Cups in 1979 and 1980 and until recently a record 42 games unbeaten in the League. In fact between November 1977 and December 1978 Forest lost 1 game in 60. Things have reverted to the bad days pre Clough and we are now a struggling "Championship" side. The team went back to losing ways on Wednesday, an awful 1-0 home defeat by recently promoted Brighton.

I'll update on the football Sunday night.

We desperately need to win!
