A look ahead to this weekend's football fixtures as Nottingham Forest continue to push for a Champions League spot.

Who would’ve thought that Nottingham Forest would be challenging for a Champions League spot at this stage of the season. Not me, not Forest fan Martin Daubney, not Nuno, not even Robin Hood but they are quickly becoming everyone’s favourite 2nd team (except for Leicester fans that is of course!). They play Southampton at home on Sunday and you’d be brave to bet against them.

My team Spurs are having a horrible time of it recently and the after the North London Derby on Wednesday night I found myself bumping into pretty much every Arsenal fan in London the next morning. Always nice but the Gunners are back on track and pushing Liverpool again.
