    NOTTINGHAM FOREST FIXTURES RELEASED | REDS CLOSE ON MARKO STAMENIC AND CARLOS MIGUEL TRANSFERS

    Nottingham Forest look poised to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos Miguel in a deal that was widely reported. A second deal has come as much more of a surprise with the Reds reportedly poised to sign Marko Stamenic from Red Star Belgrade before loaning him to Olympiacos. #nffc

    We'll discuss the implications of that deal when it comes to PSR, as well as the newly released Premier League fixtures as Matt Davies is joined by Pete Blackburn and Paul Morley.

    CARLOS MIGUEL ON FIRE | REISS NELSON LINKED TO NOTTINGHAM FOREST | KEVIN CAMPBELL TRIBUTE

    Carlos Miguel could move to Nottingham Forest this summer as they look to sign the Corinthians goalkeeper for £3.4m, according to multiple reports. He played what could have been his final game for the Brazilian club last night and produced two incredible saves which should excite Forest fans.

    We'll discuss his future as well as two more transfer links for the Reds as they are linked with Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson and Saudi Arabian right-back Saud Abdulhamid.

    Finally, we'll pay tribute to Kevin Campbell after the former Forest striker died at the age of just 54 at the weekend. Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple and Greg Mitchell on today's show.

The best podcast in the world ever.

Outstanding host who puts everyone at ease and wears his intelligence lightly. Insightful and entertaining guests. Cathartic after a loss; a lovely warm bath when we’ve won. I’d be lost without it.
