    Micky Adams out!

    Was always going to happen. Especially with the new series of Dangermouse starting soon and taking up so much of his time. In all seriousness, three departures in a few hours. SP is now the 39th longest serving manager in the FL/PL. Many have also started and left a job (FM and OGS today for...

    Talking of new stadiums.........

    Take your point on board but I think it's worth pointing out that the FOIs were submitted by someone who was the CEO of a local authority for a considerable amount of time and also worked in planning at that local authority for decades. It doesn't state "stadium, arena, etc and covers any...

    Latest Preston crowd estimate

    I seem to remember the only time PNE bought a decent crowd was for the JPT. Even in the Championship it wasn't above 5-600. So I think it'll be just below 30k.

    How many of our fans are based in Coventry?

    Switzerland

    A lot of my mates are going for the same reason. Should be a great tourney. Easy to get to for day trips too. I've got my tickets. We've got our songs ready for Celtic Park. Had them ready for years in fact.

    Sky Sports 2

    Been following it on Twitter. Akpom is ripping it up. Scored two so far. Could've been five though.

    What's the worst and best away ground you've ever been to and why?

    Maybe. Sainsburys do great pies but I wouldn't want to watch a football match there though.

    Switzerland

    When were you a member? Best thing I ever did was get my membership. I think these people that are saying "Yeah I'm definitely going to France. Might go to a few home games before hand" are going to get a big shock. If they've got no caps now they might as well forget it.

    F*** the FA, F*** the FA, F*** the FA, F*** the FA... 2 caps for Wembley you're having a laugh... One cap, we've only come for one cap... Loyal supporters, we're treated like s***... You can shove your f****** Wembley up your arse... Pretty much all aimed at the FA changing it...

    Spurs to relocate from WHL for one season

    I think contracts have already been signed on the redevelopment of the land the ground stands on. Not many options available to them really.

    Birmingham Senior Cup

    2-0 up after 45 mins thanks to Birchall and Whing. Then a young lad scored 2 quick fire goals before half time. The second was followed up with him getting the ball straight from kick off. If it hadn't been for a good Steele save it would've been a 100 second hatrick. The kid looked like a...

    What's the worst and best away ground you've ever been to and why?

    How could I forget Boundry Park. What a dive.

    Switzerland

    We're finally on the coach back to Geneva. Looked like it wasn't coming for a while. Some very interesting chants tonight. The FA better be listening.

    Switzerland

    Staying in Geneva. Getting the supporters coach to Basel. Playing in the fans game against the Swiss later at FC Basel's training complex before to big one. Loads of Sky Blues out here. Locals have been very hospitable. Went to a pub last night called the Lady Godiva. Stunning place.

    England vs Norway @ Sixfields

    It's all relative (I did put that in a tweet last night). For England yes it's poor. For internationals overall it's a high crowd. San Marino will be bad. The 60,000 that will be there will probably half once we get our 3rd or 4th. Slovenia won't be too bad as it's on a Saturday (finally!) and...

    England vs Norway @ Sixfields

    Poor crowd? How do you come to that conclusion. Rough average attendances for friendly & competitive home games from the last 5 years. Spain 38,000 Germany 51,000 Holland 48,000 Portugal 30,000 Italy 31,000 Belgium 41,000 France 62,000 Russia 15,000 England 80,000 If you just count...

    Baker gone

    That goal at Rotherham was a bit special. I'll always remember being 1-0 down at the Arsenal a few months ago. We weren't playing that well. One or two of the younger players looked a bit like rabbits in the headlights. They'd just conceded a goal to a team of international players worth tens of...
