Fair enough, you obviously know much more about him than we do. I always like to see non-league players get a chance higher up and hope that he does well for us. You've got to admit though, it does look a bit strange, a L1 club signing what, on paper at the moment at least, is a Conference teams...

Yeah agreed Simpson was played out wide too much. As was Morrell, mostly by Reid. We killed Mifsud playing him out there. And Hadji was played there 'cos he didn't fit into a 442. And Boateng and Gynn (although they were both still ace there). Scowcroft actually worked out wide, though! Simpson...

I think that he had some really good games but when he got exposed defensively, the crowd really got on his back and he visibly went to pieces. He hasn't really gone on to much after us. Odd that some players can be the rated the best in the Conference (Hussey, Simpson..Culpin?) and fail to step...

Does Pressley know something that we don't? Hmm, let's see...How to judge a player? How to read what the opposition manager is doing? How to see the positives in utterly shite performances week after week after week? Ah, it's the last one, isn't it?

Nah, I didn't ;) I wanted Hussey to be a massive success as I'd followed his career at Wimbledon. I even ended up writing a article for an Aussie Wimbledon Supporters Club magazine (they asked because of my enthusiasm when we signed him!), but it didn't work out, sadly. Bobby Gould would have...

Amazing really when you think that he was playing part-time at skint Hinckley in the Conference North just a few season's ago and you could have picked him up for nothing. When did we last spot a "non-league gem" like that? Do we have to go back to the Busst/Pearce/Flynn era?

GOD yes. That was one of my favourite games as a kid and Gazza was so wound up, that he literally broke his arm hitting Lloyd. THAT'S how nails Lloyd was! My only memory of the Robson one was of it being reported on Grandstand that he'd hurt his neck on the railings, which for a kid conjoured up...

I loved Strachan's playing time here, he was quite incredible.

You forgot Rosario. I think perhaps sentimentality is clouding your judgement, as it certainly is mine.

Ooh, Chris Marsden against Swindon during his loan spell! "Christ, a midfielder who can pass, snap him up!" we cried. But we didn't...

For me, Speedie's hatrick of headers during the 5-0 demolition of Sheff Wed. He was tiny, but could out-jump half of the big centre-backs in the league. I idolised that bloke when I was a kid. Maybe a shout out for Rosario doing his "tall Peter Beardsley" act against Villa and Liverpool. David...

He gave Wilson a chance and improved him as a player? Tbh though, I don't think he had that much bearing, I think that Wilson just exploded. So to speak.

Generally I'd agree with you, but Paxman has a history.

I can picture you sneering, nose in the air, as you typed that.

No, ours was a total stitch-up!

Well it was...

The J-League is a decent standard now. Time to remember that Japan do better at World Cups than England these days!

Used to every game, but then the owners moved the club to Northampton. A large part of my love for the club died during that year away and the owners are going to have to work very hard to win me back regularly, especially at that gate price. So far they haven't done a very good job of that...

Webster will probably be fit...
