It's that time again

Nearly kick off time, and half of me wishes I'd braved the Bank Holiday traffic, and the Navy Day, ( imagine, a whole city decked out in dark blue ...) and made the epic trek to Plymouth; if Forest were playing away at Santander, then it would be easy to hop a ferry - provided you had a day to spare. Having watched Santander against Barcelona this weekend, I suspect Forest could beat them.

Apparently the Australian Banana Growers' Council are looking at using waste bananas to generate electricity! It appears that there are up to 50,000 tonnes thrown away each year, and The University of Queensland have a research project which involves mixing bacteria with bananas, which break down and produce a gas to drive a turbine and generate electricity. Impressive stuff I feel.

Very pleased to see young James Perch in the team the other week – he did OK, & will probably prove to be good in the air, possibly developing some kind of Air Jordan-like ability to hover above opposing strikers… Forest just need to sign a Bird from somewhere, a Twigg, and possibly Michael Branch. Alternatively, a back four of Salmon, Pike, Herring and Perch would be pretty awesome, or indeed a pre-metric 3 centre back system, involving, Perch, a Pole and a Rod.

Still looks like newly promoted Plymouth have peaked too early, and have had their moment in the sun - getting beaten by Watford, suggests they should be ideal recipients of a Forest backlash. Probably.
