It's such a shame we never got to play in Europe the following season. It may have transformed the club: a few extra glory seekers coming to support, a higher profile, a couple more quid in the coffers, an extra player or two attracted to the club. The CCFC we know could have been very different.

Heart: 2-0 win. Head: 2-0 loss. Probably a scrappy nil-niller then.

I'm most certainly not comparing the two, but John Terry didn't exactly have blistering pace and, while I'm not his biggest fan, he was arguably the best old-style centre-back of his generation. Turnbull is a pound shop version of that style player, and it does have a role to play even in the...

Wolves. Steve Bull almost single-handedly took them back up to the second tier.

In the not so dim and distant past, journalists were sought-after because of the quality of their reporting (which then increased sales) Now it's all about the clicks and views and likes - the same measure of 'success' from the employers point of view, but very little quality journalism for the...

Apart from the pesky Colonel Square, who actually pronounced it Main-Wearing. I just knew watching all those re-runs as a kid would come in handy one day.

I think that was our one league goal for the month tbh.

Paul Warhurst for Sheff Weds did similar back in the day. Ended up as a tough-tackling midfielder iirc. It was a fairly common tactic but seems to have fallen out of fashion.

Talksport (well, the legend that is Bob Mills) was reporting that Cole was in talks today.

Semi-Final of a cup competition, the same stage that we sold 30,000 tickets for only a handful of years ago, and now we're going to get 12k or so. When 60 percent of your 'customers' don't want to shop with you any more, it's time to roll down the shutters.

Beavon and Yakubu could work. Hard-worker with a focal point to lay it off to. I'm optimistic that with those two up top we'll be relegated in April rather than March.

I can't see us getting 11 points during the rest of the season.

We're down. I lived through many of the Great Escapes, but those teams had fight and grit. This group of players doesn't. They almost exclusively have defeat ingrained in them. My biggest worry isn't this season. It's next. I'm convinced we'll be fighting to retain Football League status this...

Anyone else have the feeling that we'll be at the bottom of League Two this time next year unless something drastic happens? I've already ordered my Vauxhall Conference on Tour T-Shirt.

Maybe they weren't sold because we couldn't replace them, and we actually want to try and stay up? It may seem hopelessly optimistic, but perhaps this is seen as our best chance?

I'm not thinking about staying up anymore. I'm thinking about how on earth we're going to avoid relegation to the Vauxhall Conference in twelve months time.

I agree with that. I actually think Fisher wants the best for the club, but just has no idea how to go about it. I think his true crime is incompetence rather than disinterest or arrogance (which are his defense mechanisms imho).

That is a nice kit. Part of me wonders if kits have anything to do with performance. I know they say teams in red tend to win more games than teams in other colours; we always seem to play in a very sky blue these days. I just wonder if we could butch it up with a bit of black as per the kit above.

To be fair, maybe funds are available. It might just be that nobody wants to come to this co*kwomble of a club.

A (s)hit from The Small Faeces.
