    Out of contract National league strikers.

    These are the sort of players we should be looking at - good conference players who will be absolutely chomping at the bit to make it professionally and prove themselves at a higher level. I'd much prefer a hungry player on their way up, than a past it player or failure with an attitude on...

    The real retained list....

    Three main disappointments from the original/rumoured/fabricated list published yesterday: 1) Burge - he showed signs of improvement under Robins, but he still is not a first choice keeper for a team aiming for promotion next year. Plus, his kicking must contribute about 30/40% to our lose of...

    D Day Today

    Pretty happy with the news oversll. I know I haven't always been in the majority (and I'm probably still not for the second one), but I really rate Bigi and Ruben. I'm pleased he's keeping them both. My only disappointment is Stokes, who I think is a steady and solid full back and an even...

    D Day Today

    Interesting. Genuine question- can anyone name any 'tried and tested' L2/lower league footballers, either available or willing to come to us?

    D Day Today

    You would assume it refers to those players who's contracts end this summer, otherwise you'd potentially be looking at ending contracts (therefore fees) or trying to sell a lot of players. It would be difficult from an integration perspective too, as it would, bar three, be a completely new...

    Had over a week off the beer

    Completely agree with this. As soon as I know a new ale pub/bar has opened or I find a pub with a good selection of guest ales, I am genuinely excited. I am one of those sad real/craft ale fans. Every time we go abroad I always make it my personal goal to find a decent ale bar. We went to...

    Programmes you could watch all day....

    I've tried to get into it's always sunny several times and struggled. I find for every good espisode you have three average/poor ones. Everyone raves about it though, so I might need to give it another go when I run out of other comedies. Peep show however is another level. I re-watched them...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Is the video titled 'Captain. Leader. Legend'?

    I got stupidly excited as he was lining it up.

    He's going to score a screamer second half.

    I don't think that's what you meant about Burge. Joking aside, even you have to admit they are both playing well today. I know your response will be full of caveats, but any sort of recognition of their performance today would be good.

    I agree. I'm sure we also agree we hope it ISNT Ruben or Bigis last game?!

    Gadzhev watch: he is definitely going to score.

    See my previous post - if that happened I would go mental. Maybe even mental enough to get the match abandoned.* *not really.

    Just accidentally put £50 on Gadzhev to score.....shit. Although if it comes in, I'll see you all at Beer Gonzo later.

    Abandoning the game today

    Let's do it. It will definitely result in SISU leaving and us not starting next season with a points deficit.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Reasonable to be honest. If SISU reject the next one (which by definition will be an improvement) I think we're in trouble. Their (unrealistic) returns expectation from the money they've put into the club (I.e. the loans referred to in their last statement) is going to be a stumbling block.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Shit. Which bit gave it away? Use of the word 'literally'? I hate it when people do that in real life (as opposed to this alternative internet life).
