Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brentford: The 1865 Match Report, May 2025

WOOF! Forest are going to Wembley! The Reds once again went through extra-time and penalties, and once again came out victorious as skipper Ryan Yates tucked away the last spot kick and sent Forest into the FA Cup semi-final, to play Manchester City. The match itself was not big on chances, but in truth Forest were the better team and mostly in control, although extra time had a few hairy moments. Then, despite Neco Williams' miss, Matz Sels, the captain, as well as Anderson, Hudson-Odoi and Milenković did the rest. Rich Ferraro is joined by a very excited George Edwards to report on the match, with a very magnanimous view from the home end by Brighton fan Rick. We'll catch you again after Tuesday's game against Man Utd.

This week's Women's Football Show is a very special one, as we celebrate Carly and the team WINNING the National League Cup with a 3-1 victory over Stoke at the Bescot Stadium. Two goals from Charlie Wellings, and another from Mel Johnson sealed the win and brought some silverware back to the City Ground. Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam to talk about the game, the team selection and the big players on the day - obviously the goalscorers demand attention, but Carly Davies' tactics were important in unleashing the attacking potential whilst keeping it solid at the back. We'll be back at the end of the week with our Friday 5 show, incorporating the big news stories from Forest, and a preview of the men's FA Cup encounter against Brighton.

It was a strong victory despite the two late concessions away at Ipswich, as a six minute salvo fired Forest into an unassailable lead by half-time. Nikola Milenković's effort was supplemented by two goals by Anthony Elanga, while Jota Silva's late strike was sandwiched between two goals by the home team. In a match report recorded on Sunday before Morgan Gibbs-White's call-up to the England squad, Rich Ferraro is joined by George Edwards to celebrate well-taken goals, deft midfield passes and two-footed players. We'll be back to report upon the Women's derby day victory, as well as your Friday 5 roundup later this week. Come on you Reds!

It was a magnificent performance by Nuno's Reds as they nullified the threat of Manchester City, and then scored a late goal through Callum Hudson-Odoi to keep Forest ahead of the Sky Blues in third place. Yes, still. Baz is joined by Tom Newton to report on the game, the formation and tactics, and we are also joined by Crunk Chocolate (I'm not sure that is his real name) from the Shades of Blue Podcast, to share the view from the opposition. We'll be back later in the week to report on Forest's Women staying at the top of the table after another statement victory over Burnley, and we will have the Friday 5 roundup and our match report after the Ipswich game. ¡Vamos los Rojos!
