Déja Blue - Nottingham Forest 0-2 Everton: The 1865 Match Report, 30th December 2025
Forest ended the year with a disappointing and flat performance against Everton, just a few weeks after putting in a disappointing and flat performance against Everton. The visitors let Forest have the lion's share of possession, but the Reds were often outmuscled and struggled to penetrate the Toffees' rearguard, despite getting around the full-backs and playing plenty of crosses. With three defeats in a row and tough fixtures to come, we review this game but also ask questions about whether recent optimism was misplaced, and whether Forest really are in a relegation battle.

REFEREEING RANT - JONES IS CITY'S 12TH MAN! Nottingham Forest 1-2 Manchester City: The 1865 Match Report, 27th December 2025
It was a hard-fought match, and one that many Forest fans (and the Forest manager) felt was overshadowed by the performance of referee Rob Jones - rather than playing against ten men, the Reds were up against 12 of them. The match was lively, but most of the action was in the second half, which started when Rúben Días somehow escaped a second booking for bringing down Igor Jesus. City took full advantage of that reprieve through Tijani Reijnders, before a fine counter-attacking equaliser finished off by Omari Hutchinson. The winning goal came late on, as the officials waved away various episodes of wrestling in the box, one of which prevented Morgan Gibbs-White from blocking Rayan Cherki's effort. Despite the victory, you could see that the visitors had put everything into this one, and several players from both teams fell to the ground at full-time. In this report, Rich and Baz embark on an unexpectedly ranty diatribe against the injustice of it all. We'll be back with a tribute to John Robertson very soon, and a report when Everton come to visit on Tuesday - I think - does anyone actually know what day it is?

Christmas Crack'd: Fulham 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report
It was an underwhelming night at Craven Cottage, to put it mildly. Both teams were poor, and chances were few and far between, despite Fulham attempting to score after less than 15 seconds. The Reds never got going and only had Murillo's 30 yarder as an effort on goal. In the meantime, Anthony Taylor proved why he is one of the most well-known refs in Premier League history. Rich is joined by Tom to discuss a bad night at the office, and Sam Dymond joins us from Fulham Focus for a view from the home end. We'll be back on Christmas Eve with Part 2 of our FESTIVE TERRORISTS show, featuring our Forest Festive Quiz.

NFFC Women tame the Wolves, Dychie's progress: YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, 17th December 2025
This week's visit to Yatesy's Espresso Bar splits into two: Rich is joined by our Women's team correspondent Matt Turpin to review last weekend's FA Cup victory over Wolves - it was a bit squeakier than we would like but Carly employed proper game management tactics to see us over the line and into the next round. Then friend of the podcast Steve Burns joins us to review the progress of the men's team since Sean Dyche took over. If not for the Australian, the Reds would be comfortably in the top half of the table, and Steve shares his thoughts on why it works so well under the gruff-voiced growler. We'll be back before the Fulham match with a Festive edition of Football Terrorists, with some thoughts on Forest's secret weapons and a Christmas quiz!

CHOristmas Cheer! Nottingham Forest 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur: The 1865 Match Report
It was a welcome league win after the disappointing defeat at Everton, as Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice (one of which he DEFINITELY meant) and Ibrahim Sangaré made the first before scoring an absolute belter for the third goal. In truth, Spurs were lacklustre, but as the match went on, the Reds gained in stature and confidence. The importance of Murillo was underlined in both defence and team shape, and Igor Jesus was once again monumental. Baz and Tom report, with the view from the opposition provided by Alfie Nicholson. We'll be back with Yatesy's Espresso Bar in midweek.
