Umm, this is somebody's account of their Football Manager game. Aldershot didn't play in the Championship, dump Chelsea out of the FA Cup or get promoted to the Premier League last season.

Where did you see about him playing for Aldershot?

Apparently Smeekes has four caps for the Netherlands Antilles since 2008. Unless they've only played four times, how is that possible? I could play for the Netherlands Antilles if I knew a guy who could knock a passport up.

Why not give McDonald a first chance? You seem to have ruled him out already and yet want Freddy Eastwood to have his 34th crack of the whip.

Gentleman's agreement in business? Oof.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard about his supposed ability and that he'll eventually 'come good'.

Platt's smooth-talking his way into people's affections here, he must be catnip to the ladies.

People who paid to vote for him will kick up a stink. Of course, they've paid to vote on X-Factor so nuts to them.

If Asian billionaires did take over, attendances would surely rocket and people might at last be able to stop calling the Ricoh Seoul-less.

What's this skim thing automatically adding links to posts? Bit dodgy.

So once King and Gunnarsson are back in the team we'll be good to go!

Leon McKenzie's one of this generation's more underappreciated sages. Let's hear his latest musings: Really makes you contemplate existence.

Definitely, but the concerns about inexperience can't really go away that quickly, and in the face of a slump it's natural they'd come to the fore. Of course, there isn't a manager alive who hasn't been new at some point, but any doubt at the moment is justifiable, even if time will prove it wrong.

There were people concerned about this at the time, understandably. We've had fitness coaches in charge before and here was a chief scout being given the reins. I'd be surprised if anyone wasn't sceptical.

Murphy's got some Ireland caps I think. Most of our remaining players are now English who don't really see international representation from the Football League outside of the bewildering Dave Nugent call-up (100% goals to games ratio at international level, and yet people wonder how Rooney can...

There aren't many people in the Thorn out camp yet, are there? I'm more wondering how long he can go on in the same form rather than lighting the pitchforks myself.
