1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast

We are delighted to be joined by Reds legend Viv Anderson as we celebrate the launch of Local Heroes, the brand-new feature documentary on the incredible tale of three Nottingham Forest football players (Viv, Tony Woodcock and Garry Birtles). Viv talks about how he came to be involved in the film, the impact his upbringing had on his career, his experiences of being part of the squad that performed miracles, and shares his thoughts on the current Forest crop. Steven Toplis and Jeremy Davies ask the questions, and we give thanks to Polly Wyatt at Aim Publicity. Local Heroes is out on digital, DVD and Blu-ray as of 5th June 2023.

In our end of season discussion, Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, Steven Toplis and Baz in the studio to discuss Forest's player of the season, goal of the season and best moment of the season (and more); why Stevie Cooper is so damn good, and which players are staying and going. We also have a news roundup from Callum Castel, Jeremy Davies' sketch, and we hear from Her Game Too Ambassador (and massive Forest fan) Ellie Molloson. Our cast are also joined by the Maradona of the Midlands and City Ground Stadium Announcer Mark Dennison to review the highlights of Forest's Premier League campaign.

Waka waka eh eh? The game was probably second to the occasion as Forest's army of travelling fans supported the team to an away point. Having scored Forest's first Premier League goal this season, Taiwo Awoniyi also got the last, hitting double figures in his debut Premier League campaign. However, Will Hughes' header deflected off Willy Boly to earn the hosts a point, which meant that everyone was probably happy enough. Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom and Adam, both fresh back from a long day in the capital, to reflect upon the trip to Selhurst Park and the sense of occasion as the Reds' fans celebrated survival and the players and staff joined in, including Mr Marinakis. We'll be back with our end of season review and a couple of podcast specials over the summer, so stay tuned!

THEY DID IT! WE DID IT! Forest preserved their Premier League status with a game to spare, as they defeated Arsenal at the City Ground, destroying the visitors' faint title hopes in the process. The game wasn't massively memorable, but the occasion was immense - the City Ground has never been so loud and the team, staff and fans were jubilant at the final whistle. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, and the genius that is Stevie Cooper. Emilka Forest joins with her views on the atmosphere, celebrations and Mr Marinakis' decision to stick with the gaffer. Callum Castel also joins us to provide the latest news roundup, and there are cameo appearances from Steven and Adam on a jubilant day for the Reds.

A tense and battling performance earned the Reds a point, but for a while it felt like it could have been more. A header in each half from Taiwo Awoniyi put Forest in the lead, then pulled them back into contention, either side of Raheem Sterling's (preventable) brace. Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss the game, with Callum Castel providing the latest news roundup. Time will tell if this point is enough, but for now the Reds are three points outside of the relegation zone, before next week's big match against Arsenal rounds off the City Ground season.

Phew. That was way closer than we would have liked, wasn't it? In the end, three very good goals (two for Awoniyi and one for Danilo), plus a Morgan Gibbs-White penalty, saw Forest take the points despite their best efforts to let Saints back into the match. Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam to discuss a game that saw the Reds climb three places, and three points, out of the relegation zone, with special mentions for Mangala, Danilo, Awoniyi, Worrall and the almost-goal by Felipe. We also hear from Forest fan Emilka and Southampton fan Chris with their reflections on another special night at the City Ground.

In our monthly Forest Ramble magazine show, Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam, Steven and Tom to discuss a whole range of Reds issues: Can the Reds beat the drop and how many points will it take to do it? Midfield matters and keeper conundrums. And not for the first time, why so many injuries? All this and more, as we are joined once again by Jeremy Davies with the 1865 Sketch, we discuss the recent show of solidarity with Hillsborough survivors with Zigger Zagger Pete, and we have another round of our Nottingham Forest quiz.

The circumstances of this defeat felt particularly damaging as Brentford scored two late goals, the second of which came after Danilo had to come off due to injury, leaving the Reds with ten men. To add insult to injury, the winning goal was checked and Yoann Wissa was actually marginally onside. It had all felt so promising after Danilo had given the Reds the lead on the stroke of half-time. Baz is joined by Tom Newton to talk about another awayday setback, on a weekend which will likely see Forest back in the drop zone; talking points include tactics, substitutions, goalkeepers, and (once again) injuries. Billy The Bee also joins us from the Beesotted Brentford channel to give his view on the game, and the Reds' chances of survival.
