Up and down, up and down, up and down. No it's not the fragile state of Amy Winehouse that I'm on about it is indeed the rollercoaster known by many as the climax of the English football season.

When the half time whistle's sounded around the country on Saturday Van Gogh himself couldn't of painted a more intriguing picture. Fulham were dead and buried, Bolton & Birmingham looked a little safer, whilst reading were staring down the barrel of the Championship shotgun.

Elsewhere in the country, Leicester had just surrender a lead against fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday & Stoke scored late in the first period to take them top of the pile. Doncaster had moved into second in league 1 whilst Forest and Carlisle were losing ground. Bournemouth were all but buried whilst Gillingham had clambered out of the bottom four passing Cheltenham who'd fallen in. Hereford were solidifying there Automatic promotion from League 2 and Notts County  and Mansfield were leaving a losing Dagenham second from bottom.

Just another normal Saturday after noon in the world of football, or so it seemed. The universal script writers in the sky got to work and concocted a story so far fetched it resembled Vince McMahon's world of wrestling (WWE.)

Bolton lead against Spurs before being pegged back whilst the Brum amassed a surely unassailable 2-0 lead, only to let the plucky scousers draw level. The most excitement in the league since Eric Ze Fruit-bat leapt over the hoardings could be found at Eastland's, where Man City were capitulating in extraordinary style by allowing Fulham to cling to the Premiership survival raft, for now! Reading's point seemed a little more valuable all of a sudden.

In the Championship, the surprise team of the year Hull kept up the pressure on the top two by beating inform Palace, leaving them with a nervy play-off place, but it was at the other end where things were becoming more interesting than a Pamela Anderson speech on the value of waxing before wearing 'THAT' swim suit, was taking place.

Sheffield Wednesday thumped the Foxes in their own back yard to leave Leicester 1pt outside the drop-zone. If Southampton get a point or more it leaves not only Leicester and the Owls in peril but Coventry and Blackpool, who both lost at the weekend, in danger on the last day too. Oooh it's exiting.

As Forest fans will know it's tighter than a pair of Vanessa Feltz's lycra shorts at the business end of League 1. Donny take pole position going into the final weekend, knowing a win away at Cheltenham secures second spot. Cheltenham won't roll over and let Donny tickle their tummy's as a win for the Robins guarantees League 1 status next season. Forest must avoid defeat at home to last years nightmare, Yeovil, and better other teams results.

The other part of the trio are Carlisle, who are falling faster than Jodie Marsh's morals, they take on Bournemouth at home. Whilst Carlisle would hope for an easy three points on the final day where as Bournemouth would complete an amazing comeback, after being deducted 10 points, if others around them lost and they won survival would be achieved (Take note Leeds fans, no one at Bournemouth has uttered a bad word about their points reduction. They've taken it on the chin and got on with trying to rebuild their season the honest way and without much money, unlike you lot of 16-tea-bag sipping whinges!). Gillingham complete the teams at the bottom hoping for a great escape as an 88th minute equaliser by Swindon kept them inside the drop-zone.

Hereford produced a stern 3-0 victory to follow MK Dons and the posh out of Division 4 (old money) but at the foot it's looking bleak for the Stags. Being beaten at home by Rotherham wasn't as bad as it first seemed, that was until Dagenham came from 2 down away at high flying Darlington to win 3-2. The stags next opponents are now too far away to be caught by the yellows. Notts secured League survival with a 1-0 win in front of at east 200 people but it's Chester who hold aloft the olive branch for Mansfield.

Chester, with an extra game to play, only need a point from the remainder of the campaign to send the Stags down but two defeats and a win for Mansfield would see the Yellows stay up on goal difference. It truly is squeaky bum time at the bottom of League two. In fact it's a bumpy, nervy old time all over the place, including the City Ground.

A few weeks ago my cousin said he wanted to take his son to a Forest game to see if he would be ok with all the noise and excitement that surrounds a football match. I firstly explained to him that neither noise or excitement had been seen in these parts for about ten seasons(only joking) i then said that the Yeovil game would be good as it would be a boring end of season game. Yeovil would come with nothing to play for and Forest would be secure in the Play-offs having seen Carlisle cross the finish line some weeks earlier. How wrong can one person be!

It's a belter of a game. The noise levels should be turned up. Forget that tannoy announcer bloke from Trent FM, who subsequently we can't hear very well in the main stand press area (speaker problem I think) if any one is reading from the club, leave him out of it. Let's hear choruses of "Mist rolling in from the Tent", "We hate Derby", "Brian Clough's a football genius" & "we all live in the World of Brian Rice" (my personal favourite).

It can be done you know, a large slice of fortune from elsewhere is needed I'll admit but it can be done, can't it? I want this, you want this, we all need this, so please, turn up with your cheery head on. Turn up with your singing voice in and turn up willing the ball into the back of Yeovil's net but for god sake don't turn up grumbling and groaning from the moment the game kicks off. If you feel that way bugger off to B&Q for the day and pick out some grey dull wallpaper!?????come on you Red's!
