Nottingham Forest refocus their sightline and its Bologna’s Dan Ndoye and Manchester City’s James McAtee who, according to reputable reports, the Reds now see as the ones to replace Antony Elanga and the potential departure of Morgan Gibbs-White. I say potential because in spite of half of north London being adamant it was a done deal and he was holed up in a local hotel somewhere, there is still...

Hello and welcome to Talking Reds: a Nottingham Forest Podcast. Hosted by Greg Oram & Richard Spray. No hot water, poor matchday experience, lack of ladies toilets and an outdated stadium that in spite of all its character and charm is badly in need of an upgradethat keeps the atmosphere and magic alive. It’s been a saga and a half but local residents are not happy as final approval has been grant...

It’s never a dull moment at Nottingham Forest Signing hundreds of players, that tweet, getting a points deduction, fines for spitting, banning Gary Nevile (and Bonnie Blue), and now reporting Spurs over an illegal approach for Morgan Gibbs-White and stealing (apparently) Crystal Palace’s Europa League place! This one is gonna be fun…. On the panel today we have Raf The Random Pundit, Paul Morley a...

Hosted Greg Oram & Richard Spray. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water….Spurs pop up and trigger asecret release clause in your star player’s contract and in the blink of an eye he’s heading to London for the quickest medical you’ve ever known! Life moves pretty fast – well yeah…Especially when you’re still getting over Elanga to Newcastle…! The sharks are definitely circling…...

Hosted Greg Oram & Richard Spray. I think it’s fair to say that football fans can at times be a funny breed. They whine and have multiple meltdowns per week and can turn quicker than the drop of Bonnie Blue’s knickers. But they’re also loyal. Not only to the club they support but also to each other. And no fanbase is better at this than the supporters of Nottingham Forest. Our guest today, is a po...

A miracle has happened. It is something we prayed long and hard for and at times we doubted would ever happen. But it just goes to show that if you pray hard enough, the Lord is listening. For finally, the announcement haveth been made. Nottingham Forest have signed a striker! Jesus is a Forest player! And in his first interview he had this to say… “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one...

The City Ground saga has been a tortuous one over the past 5 or 6 years but finally we have a significant breakthrough it seems as approval has been granted by Rushcliffe Council for the development of the Peter Taylor stand. We’ll pickthat apart and take a look at the latest and on-going transfer rumours as the 30th June PSR deadline is just a couple of days away… Here with Greg and Richard to do...

The transfer window is open, rumours are swirling and the Brazil flags are on order! Plus, The fixtures are out and the excitement level has been ramped up another notch or ten…! We’ll take a forensic first look at the calendar and give you our reaction to Forest’s opening day fixture and all the other key dates of theseason. With Greg Oram and Richard Spray and guests Danscape and Raf the Random...

We’re back with another of our One With episodes and our guest today is no stranger to the Nottingham Forest podcast world. A man who has worked tirelessly as one half ofthe Forest All Over Podcast to bring fans together of our great club from all around the world and a regular post-match contributor on Forest Focus, he certainly gets around a bit.

Coming up, we’re going to take a deep dive in Forest’s defensive unit and analyse their stats as a group and individuals across last season and how they improved massively on the previous year.

Coming up, we’ll discuss all the latest transfer stories, rumours and headlines as the incomings and outgoings start to take shape for The Reds! Ever thought about learning a second language? Now seems as good a time as any to take out a Rosetta Stone subscription and start learning Portuguese because the nextinflux from the Amazon is due to land in Nottingham with the arrival of The Boys from Bra...

Our good friends at Forest All Over signed off this week to end five years of weekly Forest content and we salute Chris and Matt and look forward to their occasional specialeditions that may pop up randomly here and there…!

Hello and welcome to Talking Reds, a Nottingham Forest Podcast! The season is over. The final whistle has blown. The curtain has come down and the fat lady has given her soprano rendition of Mull of Kintyre. Our job for the next hour or so is to look back, reflect and remember. The dust is still settling but one thing I hope we can all agree on – this has been NottinghamForest’s best season in ove...

It wasn’t to be as Nottingham Forest failed to capitalise on results elsewhere and finished the season with a home defeat to Champions League challengers, Chelsea. Unlikelydefeats for Aston Villa and Newcastle opened the door for the The Reds but a lacklustre second half saw Chelsea score early and Forest failed to really cause any problems to Robert Sanchez’s goal. But let us not forget – Notting...

It all comes down to this. When the fixtures came out for this season, a home tie against Chelsea on the final day had all the hallmarks of a Forest ‘must-win’ in order to preserve Premier League their status. Afterall, the context of two seasons of struggle and inconsistency whilst trying to become a stable top flight team was for many, going to be too much for The Reds and relegation was a fore...

Just when you thought it was all over. Just when you’d lost that last bit of faith. Just when it seemed it was done and dusted and the destination next season was looking more like Real Betis than Real Madrid… Write this team off at your peril – its never simple and its never pretty but going into the final game of the season Champions League Football is well and truly backon!! Yes, we know its no...

It has been a remarkable season for Nottingham Forest and it’s true that you could make a strong case for practically all of the players to win the accolade award as outright Player of the season. So, with that in mind we asked our Talking Redscontributors to put forward who they each thought was most deserving of the award. Who is your choice for Player of the Season? Learn more about your ad cho...

If we’d told you a year ago that with two games to go next season Forest would have already qualified for Europe and could still make the Champions League, that Nuno would win 3 manager of the month awards and be nominated for the manager of the season award, that Chris Wood would score 20 premier league goals and along with Morgan Gibbs-White, would be nominated for player of the season, andAnton...

They say that time is a great healer. Well, it’s been about 4 hours since the full-time whistle at The City Ground and whilst we have regained a little bit of equilibrium, it feels like we’re going to need a bit longer to pull ourselvestogether after a hugely disappointing 2-2 draw against already-relegated Leicester City that leaves any hope of Champions League qualification out of our own hands...
