A creditable performance, but Forest missed their chances and the champions took theirs. Goals by Gvardiol and Haaland saw the points go to Manchester, but the general consensus was that the Reds did ok. The real question is whether thay can produce the goods in the last three games of the season?
Presented by Steven Toplis with Baz, and the view from the opposition comes from Mike Passaris. We'll be back with more on the Forest appeal in our Friday 5 show later this week, before our report from Bramall Lane as the Reds battle against newly-relegated Sheffield United.

As predicted, it has been one heck of a week for Forest fans, with the defeat at Goodison followed by THAT tweet, and the ensuing fallout. Jamie Martin brings us the latest:

Post-match tweet

Forest request VAR audio

Legal action against Gary Neville?

Clattenburg contract extension?

Stuart Attwell: Luton fan


Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss a turbulent, tumultuous, tempestuous and traumatic few days for Forest fans, with a cameo by Tom following Forest's revised and more conciliatory statements during the week.
We'll be back with a report after the Manchester City game over the weekend; let's hope that the champions have got all the goals out of their system following their game against Brighton last night.

The key fact is that Forest lost a relegation six-pointer, to two long range goals. The underlying facts are that there were three clear penalty shouts waved away, including (at least) one where the ref clearly got it wrong but VAR chose not to correct him. The headlines go to the club's tweet on the full-time whistle, which accuses PGMOL of bias and suggests that the club will explore their options, whatever that means.
Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, fresh back from Goodison, to discuss a poor game of football, refereeing decisions, and the post-match comments. Mike from the Unholy Trinity Podcast (our Sports Social stablemates) also offers his opinions on the penalty shouts.
We'll discuss the fall out in this week's Friday Five news roundup, later in the week - it's going to be a spicy week before the Man City match next weekend.

It definitely felt like two points dropped, despite the Reds actually scoring from a corner, and fighting back from conceding a poor goal to take the lead. The old Achilles heel of set pieces hit us again as the defence failed to defend and the keeper could have done more. In the end, it was honours even and no-one was really happy.
Steven Toplis presents the match report, along with Tom Newton, and we also hear from Dave of the Talking Wolves channel, after a game that was marred by offensive chanting and abuse towards players (one in particular, and his partner) that was not commented upon in the media. We'll be back with our regular news roundup on Friday, and at Everton next weekend.
