Poor poor result but goes deeper than that. We didn't play as well as we could do. Could be for a number of reasons. it was probably difficult for MR to prepare for the game tactically as he had no idea who'd be playing for them or how it'd be best to wear them down (even though it shouldn't...

Given the way they played I'd have thought you'd want us to sign them all up!

Really hope we give them a tonking today and Godden gets on to get his account running. If we gave Bapaga a run would he ironically be the youngest on the pitch?

I've got them down as U16. I think Ward is a schoolboy as well - just not sure of his first name. It's either Ben or George I think.

4-3 opening day win for the U18. Rodber, Howley, Ward and Nee got the goals.

But the only reason you can't get a player of that quality is because the top teams hoard them. If they didn't have that ability these players that get shipped out on loan would be playing down the league anyway. Maybe thats more an issue of squad numbers than loans, but if top teams didn't...

But it also makes long term planning almost impossible. Look at the year we had Kent, Armstrong and Murphy on loan - we looked great. Season after we got relegated. It's too high a level of player turnover. Plus all the financial advantages favour the teams that already have the money. Player...

Last night in a dream I saw a scoreboard that had us winning 7-0 on it!

When I type in Richard Duffy I throw away my phone. But the fucking thing keeps on coming back to me.

When I type in Rory Donnelly or Robert Jarni my phone goes missing

If I type in Marlon King my phone calls the police

When I type in Burge I get pictures of 1920's dancing girls.

Every time I type that in it says "did you mean Julian Gray?"

I think MR was/is also hoping to get a few more off the books, either permanently (ie Brown, Bosma, Hickman) and a few on loan (Maycock, Allassani etc) to free up some wage capacity. As that hasn't happened (yet) I guess his hands are a bit tied at the moment. It may also be his other main...

A family member of mine was a season ticket holder for 30 years. But rarely knew any of the new signings or youngsters. And often got the players on the pitch wrong or mixed up (no, it's not Clive). I'd go to many half a dozen matches a season and could tell you way more about the players, how...

If it happened before a game was played it'd be fine, as it'd be the same for everyone. But then so would be just having a league table of 44 or 42 games. Once games have been played it isn't fair because of goal difference etc. The only fair thing to do is just act like the games played didn't...

That's sort of the point I was making - he's still very young and being fast tracked towards the first team ahead of Brown at this point in time when he needs to develop both physically and tactically doesn't seem like the best course of action to me. I'm not saying he doesn't have potential or...

I have noticed since I stopped doing Dream Team and Fantasy Football stuff how much less attention I'm paying towards the PL.

I thought it might be but wasn't sure. It didn't seem to fit your usual stance in the politics discussions.

The other point I want to make is that it should even out the competition within the PL, because all the players in that league would be on roughly the same basic wage and so playing time becomes a more important factor. A squad player at Chelsea would be better off financially becoming a...
