nPower Championship: Nottingham Forest

A fantastic spectacle of fan appreciation took place at the City Ground when Forest hosted the Owls. As 4,405 Wednesday fans filled the away end, it was clear to see the love the fans have of the midfield enforcer Jose Semedo. Masks, green & maroon balloons, inflatables and numerous Portuguese flags filled the stand as 'Semedo Day' was in full swing.

Remembrance Day. 11/11/2012

A brief poem I've written for today. Wear your Poppy's with pride. Never forget.

Lest we forget the fallen heroes.
Lest we forget the bravery they showed.
We have our today,
For they gave their tomorrow's.
Lest we forget the lengths they did go.

Fallen, yes - but forgotten, no.
