    NOTTINGHAM FOREST ARE MAGIC | WHY THEY HAVE THE BEST FANS IN FOOTBALL

    Regular Forest Focus contributor Ruby Naylor has put together this brilliant documentary about what it is to be a Nottingham Forest fan as she completes her student thesis at New York University. As regular listeners will know Ruby comes from a family of Reds and here she looks at what it means to support the club as well as the intricate role the City Ground plays in Forest fandom. It's a video documentary you can view on YouTube but we think the audio version works as well.

Best podcast

I have listened to Matt for a few years now, it’s a really great podcast the variety of guests he has on are great and love to hear there views. And in a lot of shows I come away with a lot of positives , even defeat. Matt keep up the great work I enjoy the pods walking the dog and working and in the last few episodes I have really enjoyed the guest I would love to see if you could get anymore players to come on .

D*rby worse than PSR

When the sheep molesters were relegated from the EPL they amassed just 11 points in a season.

The folks running the Profitability and Sustainability Rules scheme have amassed 12 points from Everton and NFFC

So the sheep sh*ggers down the road were not only the ugliest team to be relegated but with just 11 points they are worse than a group of lawyers and pen pushers.
