He literally just started every single game for the League Two Champions. EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. This isn't us signing Peter Ramage, Darius Henderson or Stephen Hunt from out of nowhere. It's bringing in an experienced head who knows the league and what it takes to get out of it. Something we...

In scouting, you look for traits that succeed at higher levels of football. Harries has one of them in abundance, which is quality and composure when in possession. A team like Liverpool - or even Villa - will think that "Well, with 2-3 years in our system, working with better coaches and...

Seem to remember Newton not being all that great at Nuneaton, but 29 goals is a damn good return.

I know that Gaz Dean has turned down multiple moves to National League teams because he didn't want to give up the job he has at Land Rover. Stayed in the Conference North when Nuneaton and Solihull Moors got promoted.

Interesting. I live in London and don't get to go to many games, wonder if I could use a VPN like Hola! to watch the games.

One name to look out for: Gavin Massey of Leyton Orient. Was their best player, scoring 8 goals from the wing. Is on a pretty big wage by L2 standards but could be in play.

And to make it worse...a friend at work just tweeted me to say his Reading FC season ticket cost him £150, EVEN IF THEY GET PROMOTED TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE!

Living in London, it's hard to get to home games for me but I still wanted to buy a ST next year to support the club financially. I would've gladly parted with 100-200 in order to back the team and do what I can to help out, knowing I'd only probably get to 10 home games max. But £299 is...

Can't tell if the info in Price of Football includes Early Bird offers or not. Assuming it doesn't, we would have the most expensive standard season ticket at £349. If it does, then £299 would rank joint-4th.

I love that they've made it free for Under 13's...but how many of their parents will fork out £299 to watch League Two football! Meanwhile, Bradford City are still charging £150, even if they get promoted to the Championship.

Something I noticed at Wembley was the runs he was making off the ball. One of the only Coventry players I've seen this season who actually knows how to drag defenders around the field when we're on the attack and open up space for other players. A lot of what he does as a number 10 is unseen...

The thing is, City don't have a scouting or recruiting system - at all. There are no people going out and looking for players and creating a database of talent and reports. Everyone we have signed in the past few years has been either the manager going to a club and inquiring about who's...

Burge - 10. Did nothing wrong all game. And made 2/3 incredible saves. Best game of his career. Willis - 7. Turnbull - 9. Threw himself at everything. Won his headers. Never once backed down. Best game he's had for City. Stokes - 8. Haynes - 7. Stevenson - 7.5. Bigi - 8.5. George Thomas - 9.5...

RE: protests, the chaps on the Nii Lamptey Podcast made an excellent point in their Wembley Preview episode today: ENJOY THE BLOODY GAME.

Try to get down to London on the Saturday if you can and sleep on a friends/relatives/acquaintances sofa. It doesn't look like Virgin are putting on any extra trains at all on Sunday.

RCC DKE - Willis - Turnbull - Haynes Stevenson - Reilly G.Thomas - Lameiras - Reid Beavon Wembley pitch is massive and you can actually play football on it, so I'm bringing in Stevenson and Lameiras because they should get time on the ball and find pockets of space in which to play through...

Mine is playing. Making my first start in a good standard of Saturday league football as a 17-year-old during a pre-season friendly against a Semi-Pro team. Teammate decided to put Deep Heat inside my goalie gloves and everyone was in bits when I cottoned on and sprinted to the sink to get it...

My favourite memory in football is watching my then 21-year-old cousin play out of position at right back when CCFC played Sphinx in a preseason game and mark Julian Gray out of the game so badly that Gray asked to be subbed off because he was getting too annoyed and close to kicking him in...

I remember seeing Liam Davis play in Richard Shaw's testimonial against Celtic (I think that was it) and he looked sensational. Rounded the keeper to score after beating 2 defenders and I thought he was going to be a star.

There's a few pubs - and one tiny "sports bar" - around the Wembley area. Flannery's is a good shout, is a 25-minute walk as well which should help clear some cobwebs. Expect most places to be full and don't even bother with the TGI's unless you book a table today ha.
