    McNulty, McDonald, who's next?

    Could be interpreted as such, depends on the mindset of the reader.... And just to clarify, I'm following my girlfriend around while she looks at every item in the shop and McSheffrey is doing the same with his partner.

    McNulty, McDonald, who's next?

    Literally looking at McSheffrey now, as I follow my girlfriend around Central Six. He looks as bored as I am. Doubt there's much to it, other than he still lives in the Coventry area. Hope not anyway.

    Bye bye Saturday

    Pathetic power trip move. Maybe they've worked out they can give away even more free tickets if they play on a Saturday.

    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    Is untapped worth it then? I downloaded it while I was on holiday over the summer as it was advertised everywhere, but when I got home I didn't really get much from it, so I assumed it was more of an American thing. I did recently re download it as there's a fantastic tap room in Hinckley (!!!)...

    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    I can fairly happily eat healthily; weetabix/porridge for breakfast, cous cous/sushi/salad for lunch, meat/fish with veg/rice for dinner, it's the drinking that really prevents me from the whole toning aspect. As much as I would love to have the elusive "beach body" as I did when I was younger...

    3rd Signing - Rod McDonald

    It's currently 13/1 for us to win L2 on Sky Bet. Definitely worth a few quid.....

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Was this supposed to be ironic?

    3rd Signing - Rod McDonald

    Are they?! I checked Coral and Bet365 earlier but I couldn't find anything for next season. I'll have a look at Sky Bet now!

    Gary Deegan

    If he signs as a squad player to rotate with Doyle it'll be a pragmatic signing, if he's here to play alongside Doyle in place of Bigi/Stevenson it'll be a poor one. He's not a great footballer, but he might be the type of player we unfortunately need in L2.

    3rd Signing - Rod McDonald

    Another astute signing, at least on paper. I've never heard of him or seen him play so I can't comment on the reality, but he's a good age, has decent experience and is rated by fans of his former club. Three signings BEFORE pre season has even started. What is happening?! If odds were...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Footballers wages are ridiculous and even at our level we are seeing the impact of the disparity between PL and L1/2 clubs. As a recent example see the Camwell thread - if he does go to Stoke, you would assume that's predominantly monetary driven. If the gulf wasn't so big and the difference...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Who did you play for when you were a footballer?

    Michael Doyle re signing for City

    Not the greatest of footballers, but alongside a technical playmaker it would work well. The thought of Bigi/Stevenson and Doyle pairing is a positive one, bearing in mind we are now a L2 team, he's just won that league and (in my view) Bigi/Stevenson are both better than L2. As long as he's...

    The Walking Dead - Season 7

    I binged watched series 7 over the last two weeks (I can't watch weekly installments, I'm too impatient) and, while to an extend I appreciate why the later seasons have been criticised, it's still great viewing. It's a great break/unwind/chill to take you away from the 101 things happening in...

    I'm quite excited....

    Genuine question - those questioning the possibility of optimism - did you watch many games last season? If you did, you would see there is a clear reason to be optimistic in MR. With an inherited squad- the same squad who ultimately relegated us - he produced encouraging performances and good...

    McSheffrey... didn't take long

    Ignoring the player nostalgia the media seem to enjoy, if we actually were interested, thinking practically, where would he fit in? Last time he was here he'd lost his pace, never mind a few years on, so he couldn't play as a winger. Striking wise, again his lack of pace and the fact he isn't a...

    Alex Lacey

    I agree re the keeper, having someone you trust behind you makes a massive difference, especially if they are vocal like Murphy. I'm also one of those who really rates Turnbull, I'd probably say he's better than Willis. He's capable of the odd mistake but overall he is naturally a better...

    Alex Lacey

    On paper looks it looks an astute signing if it materialises; young and hungry, proven in L2, rated by his current team/fans and from a budgeting perspective free and you'd assume realistic in terms of salary expectations. As many (including me) have previously said, signing players on the way...

    Slug & Lettuce

    I agree - Drapers is probably the best choice for ales, I didn't bother mentioning it though as it already has been. Not so keen on the castle in the evenings.

    Travellers in cov again

    The annual gypsy fair (not sure the actual name of the event) was in Kenilworth last weekend. Probably the only time each years there's bouncers in every pub in Kenilworth.
