Europa League, MGW, formation changes? 1865 news, 18th July 2025

The FA Cup Semi-Final ended in defeat as a disappointing first half saw the Reds concede a very early goal, as Man City threatened to overrun Nuno's team. The half-time introduction of Anthony Elanga almost paid immediate dividends but City scored a second straight away. Even then, the Reds hit the woodwork three times and forced an excellent save from Stefan Ortega, but Matz Sels also had to make some crucial interventions. Our match report features snippets from Wembley by Baz and Rich, some more considered analysis from Steven and George, and a view from Man City fan Mike Passaris. Join us later in the week for your Brentford match report, as the Reds return to league action, and we will also aim to reflect upon the Women's Championship winning season in due course. YOU REDS!

It was a much needed win for Nottingham Forest that took them back to third in the table, as the race for the Champions' League gets ever tighter. Early goals from Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood took the Reds into a half-time lead, but in truth, Nuno's substitutions didn't really work, and Forest were under the cosh for the last half an hour. Richarlison did get a late goal, but first Matz Sels made two great saves from the Brazilian, and Harry Toffolo made an incredible clearance off the line. Your match report is brought to you by Steven and Baz, and we will be back later in the week with our Friday 5 roundup and a preview of Sunday's trip to Wembley for the FA Cup Semi Final.

It was a first home defeat since November for the Reds, who were below par and deservedly lost, but the circumstances hurt as Murillo lost the ball in stoppage time after a Forest corner, leading to Abdoulaye Doucouré grabbing the points. George Edwards is in the host's chair, discussing the game with Baz, who felt that Forest were out-Nunoed by David Moyes and his team. We get a view from the away end by Adam from the Call of Everton channel.

You can look at this two ways: either the Manager Of The Month curse hit and Forest predictably lost, or Nuno and the team recovered from an awful, passive start and gave Villa a match in the second half. Ultimately the Reds lost the game, but results elsewhere did not hurt us too much and the race for the Champions League is still on. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton review a match that saw Villa easily take an early two goal lead as the Reds just weren't switched on, but unlike the Man City, Bournemouth and Newcastle away games, they managed to regroup and Jota's second half strike was the least they deserved. The view from the home end comes from Neil of For The Love Of Paul McGrath.

Forest have done the double over Manchester United for the first time since 1992BC (Brian Clough). Anthony Elanga's superb solo goal after just five minutes gave us the lead, and Murillo's goal line clearance at the death kept it for us. In between Man United played well but had little threat as Forest's hard work and tactical guile pretty much kept them at bay. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk about the match and they are joined by Man United fan Ste Barnes to share the view from the opposition. We'll be back with our Friday 5 roundup and Aston Villa preview, followed by our match report as the games come thick and fast. Thanks for listening.
