  Nottingham Panthers were beaten 4-2 by Braehead Clan as they lost consecutive games in what is becoming an increasingly desperate pursuit of the Elite League title. Going into Friday's game against Belfast Giants, Panthers had given themselves a real chance of lifting the trophy after a fine run of form. However, after losing 5-1 to the Giants and then suffering defeat in Scotland, their backs are against the wall. Panthers have seven games to go and are fourth on 56 points, six points...

  So Billy Davies has spoken out for the first time since being sacked by Nottingham Forest in his second spell at the club. It always seems to be someone else's fault with him. It's never his own. I think his own worst enemy is himself. He's got a chip, but rather than have it on one shoulder, he's got one on both shoulders. He made a rod for his own back here. Every day must have been a nightmare at the club. He makes it hard for other people, like the whole thing about having cameras in...

  A day of dismal disappointment; of loudly voiced frustration and fury at the City Ground, once more provided more questions than answers for Nottingham Forest. The biggest lingering question mark remains whether Dougie Freedman's side will allow a Championship season that had been revived and rejuvenated by a 13-match unbeaten run to peter out with a whimper, after notching up a third straight defeat. Forest have certainly gone from feast to famine and, while doing so, have offered little to...

  Who of a certain age doesn't remember Little Britain? Dreadzone's seminal dub/reggae tune could almost be seen to redefine the British music scene in the mid 90's, post Britpop's peak, opening the doors to the breadth of urban dance music we have today. What I didn't realise until now was they were rooted in Mick Jones' successful 1980's outfit Big Audio Dynamite with Leo Williams (Bass) and Greg Roberts (drums) leading the way and when this is known the direct line of style, with samples and...
