A much-needed three points, as despite scoring first through ex-Red Ben Brereton Diaz, the Blades proved how bad they are at defending, allowing Callum Hudson-Odoi to score two of his trademark goals, sandwiching skipper Ryan Yates' first Premier League goal. The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by George Edwards, as our match reporters recover from their dip in the Trent to review a potentially very important result, on the weekend that Luton and Burnley failed to win. We'll be back later...

A creditable performance, but Forest missed their chances and the champions took theirs. Goals by Gvardiol and Haaland saw the points go to Manchester, but the general consensus was that the Reds did ok. The real question is whether thay can produce the goods in the last three games of the season? Presented by Steven Toplis with Baz, and the view from the opposition comes from Mike Passaris. We'll be back with more on the Forest appeal in our Friday 5 show later this week, before our report...

As predicted, it has been one heck of a week for Forest fans, with the defeat at Goodison followed by THAT tweet, and the ensuing fallout.

The key fact is that Forest lost a relegation six-pointer, to two long range goals. The underlying facts are that there were three clear penalty shouts waved away, including (at least) one where the ref clearly got it wrong but VAR chose not to correct him. The headlines go to the club's tweet on the full-time whistle, which accuses PGMOL of bias and suggests that the club will explore their options, whatever that means. Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, fresh back from Goodison, to...

It definitely felt like two points dropped, despite the Reds actually scoring from a corner, and fighting back from conceding a poor goal to take the lead. The old Achilles heel of set pieces hit us again as the defence failed to defend and the keeper could have done more. In the end, it was honours even and no-one was really happy. Steven Toplis presents the match report, along with Tom Newton, and we also hear from Dave of the Talking Wolves channel, after a game that was marred by...

In reality, the best team won, although it was a match that seemed to hang on a series of incidents: Murillo's own goal, Chris Wood's miss, Maddison's punch and Spurs' half-time subs. After a slow start, Forest actually played quite well for much of the first half, but the natural order was restored in the second period. Rich Ferraro and George Edwards report on the game, with contributions from Tom Newton and JP from The Cheese Room Podcast. We'll be back on Friday with our weekly news...

45 minutes of heaven, followed by 45 minutes of hell - however, Forest scored three goals in the first period and withstood the Fulham offensive in the second half, to earn a welcome three points and make up for the points deducted due to the PSR breach. The first half was probably the best we have seen from the Reds, with good goals from Hudson-Odoi, Wood and Gibbs-White, who recreated the Forza Garibaldi banner with his fingers-in-ears celebration. Steven Toplis and George Edwards review...

A draw wasn't the result that we wanted, but was enough to pull the Reds out of the relegation zone on goal difference. It could have been so much worse as a tepid first half performance drew the ire of the fans, but the introduction of Gio Reyna on 60 minutes brought instant dividends, as the young American fed Morgan Gibbs-White, who in turn played it into the box where Chris Wood's clever header drew Forest level. On the day that Forest fans got to say goodbye to Larry Lloyd, Rich Ferraro...

At the end of a tempestuous week for Nottingham Forest Football Club, we take some time to reflect upon the four point deduction imposed by an independent commission and what impact it could have on the Reds' season, and indeed for the wider world of football (especially as Leicester are in trouble and Everton await their next punishment). Should Forest appeal? Has Nick De Marco KC done his job well? Does it matter whether the rules are fair, or does it just matter that Forest broke them? And...

It was so near and yet so far for the Reds, as despite having the best chances, they only scored one goal, before the inevitable sucker punch when Luke Berry scored from (you guessed it) a set piece for Luton. Some fans were angry at the inability to take chances and also the substitutions made by Nuno, which left Forest with five at the back and no striker. Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to discuss the game, the fallout and what this means for Forest in a week when the club are...

Another disappointing result as Forest had chances, but failed to take them. The truth is, for all the grumbling about the referee not sending of Jakub Moder, the Reds could have played all day and not scored. George Edwards is joined by Adam and Tom Newton to discuss the game and the ref, and also Nuno's team selection and substitutions, which raised some eyebrows amongst the Forest supporters. The next match is at Luton, which is the very definition of a six-pointer, especially when we may...

For the second time in a few days, a promising display by the Reds but a controversial late winner - but the way that this one went in makes Wednesday's goal look just fine. In case you missed it, Forest were attacking the Liverpool area in stoppage time, when the ref stopped play for a head injury (hmmm) and erroneously gave the ball to the away team, stopping the Reds' attack and allowing Liverpool to pile on the pressure, which ended in Darwin Nunez's goal. A very angry Steven Toplis is...

A disappointing result as the Reds conceded a late goal to a set piece (again) to exit the FA Cup. In truth, Forest more than matched the visitors for much of the match, and even though United probably were the better team, the commitment and performance levels from the home team were good. As well as reporting on the game, Rich Ferraro and The Maradona of the Midlands also discuss the top five news stories from the City Ground, brought to you by Jamie Martin: PSR hearing starts next...

Forest lost away to an Aston Villa team who look exceptional under Unai Emery, but you could argue that the Reds were once again masters of their own downfall with poor defending leaving them 3-0 down before they even got going. Moussa Niakhate and Morgan Gibbs-White scored either side of the break to give hope to the visitors, but Villa took control again and scored a fourth after more poor defending. George Edwards and Ellie Molloson report back from the away end at Villa Park, with...
