1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast

1865 meets MARK CROSSLEY! In an 1865 exclusive, ⁠#NFFC⁠ legend Mark Crossley joined Steven Toplis and Tom Newton for a chat about good and bad times at the City Ground, during one of the most pivotal eras in the club's recent history. As usual, Big Norm is honest and forthright and this is a must-listen for any Reds fan. Excerpts of this interview were originally featured in our "30 Years On" spec...

Once again, we were hoping to take a little time off over the summer, but there is too much going on! In this podcast, Rich is joined by Tom and Adam to discuss: Forest vs Palace in a fight for the Europa League Morgan tapped up by Tottenham? Elanga and Sosa (and now Danilo) leave, any incomings? Will Nuno go to 3-5-2 with the arrivals of Jesús and Jair? Subscribe to 1865: The ORIGINAL Nottingham...

While the gossip and transfer rumours circulate, we offer an antidote to all of that, and possibly one for the kit nerds, as Tom Newton meets Mark Green (@nottmforestshirts on Instagram), an avid Reds fan and a collector of Forest shirts home and away over the last 40-something years. Tom and Mark discuss what makes a good home shirt - is it a bad thing to have black on there ? What is the classic...

We were hoping to take a bit of a break over the summer, but the news keeps rolling in! The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Tom Newton to talk about the newly released Premier League fixture list (and the lack of Boxing Day matches), the hopeful redevelopment of the Peter Taylor Stand, and the latest transfer news involving a Big Willy extension, goodbye to Toff and the impending arrival of...

It's the end of season review by your friends at 1865! Our Football Terrorists show was recorded the week after the season ended in triumph and disappointment for the Reds, as they qualified for Europe but failed to make the Champions' or Europa Leagues. In this end of season show: #NFFC performance ratings Player of the season: Milenković vs Wood vs Sels Review of the Women's double-winning seaso...

Despite the monumental achievement of European football, there was a palpable sense of disappointment at the City Ground as the Reds failed to qualify for the Champions' League, even though other results went the way that we needed them to. In truth, Chelsea had the extra nous to get over the line, and Chris Wood missed two very preventable chances in a match where neither keeper was particularly...

A much-needed win for the Reds in a match featuring three goals, sixteen minutes of stoppage time, a six minute VAR check and multiple tributes to Taiwo Awoniyi. Goals for Morgan Gibbs-White and Nikola Milenković earned the points, despite Jarrod Bowen's late consolation. It's tight at the top in the run for the Champions' League, with Forest in 7th, but only a point behind Newcastle in third. Eek...

A bittersweet afternoon, as the Reds secured European football for the first time in thirty years, but also crumbled against one of the worst teams in Premier League history as Leicester equalised and then piled on the pressure in the last ten minutes. Steven and George bring you a bumper match report, discussing the many talking points including goals, offside decisions and injuries, and of cours...

As the race for the Champions' League gets ever tighter, Forest will probably be happy with a point from this one. They played some nice stuff and looked more composed in the first half, with Sangaré partnering Anderson in central midfield. After falling behind to Eberechi Eze's penalty, Murillo deflected Neco Williams' wayward shot for a quick response. Steven and George discuss the game and whet...

This one was really disappointing, as Thomas Frank's tactical choices saw the visitors deservedly take the points. If the first goal was a little unfortunate due to Ola Aina's slip, the second showed that Brentford deliberately played that way. Steven and Maradona debate the game, the rain, and what it means for Forest's chances of Champions League qualification. As always, we will return after th...

The FA Cup Semi-Final ended in defeat as a disappointing first half saw the Reds concede a very early goal, as Man City threatened to overrun Nuno's team. The half-time introduction of Anthony Elanga almost paid immediate dividends but City scored a second straight away. Even then, the Reds hit the woodwork three times and forced an excellent save from Stefan Ortega, but Matz Sels also had to make...

It was a much needed win for Nottingham Forest that took them back to third in the table, as the race for the Champions' League gets ever tighter. Early goals from Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood took the Reds into a half-time lead, but in truth, Nuno's substitutions didn't really work, and Forest were under the cosh for the last half an hour. Richarlison did get a late goal, but first Matz Sels ma...

It was a first home defeat since November for the Reds, who were below par and deservedly lost, but the circumstances hurt as Murillo lost the ball in stoppage time after a Forest corner, leading to Abdoulaye Doucouré grabbing the points. George Edwards is in the host's chair, discussing the game with Baz, who felt that Forest were out-Nunoed by David Moyes and his team. We get a view from the awa...

You can look at this two ways: either the Manager Of The Month curse hit and Forest predictably lost, or Nuno and the team recovered from an awful, passive start and gave Villa a match in the second half. Ultimately the Reds lost the game, but results elsewhere did not hurt us too much and the race for the Champions League is still on. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton review a match that saw Villa eas...

Forest have done the double over Manchester United for the first time since 1992BC (Brian Clough). Anthony Elanga's superb solo goal after just five minutes gave us the lead, and Murillo's goal line clearance at the death kept it for us. In between Man United played well but had little threat as Forest's hard work and tactical guile pretty much kept them at bay. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to ta...

WOOF! Forest are going to Wembley! The Reds once again went through extra-time and penalties, and once again came out victorious as skipper Ryan Yates tucked away the last spot kick and sent Forest into the FA Cup semi-final, to play Manchester City. The match itself was not big on chances, but in truth Forest were the better team and mostly in control, although extra time had a few hairy moments....
