Apropos of nothing, I was wondering why don't you hear about footballers swallowing their tongue nowadays - it seemed to be quite a big thing in the 90s. And then I wondered what else used to be a regular occurence in football that you don't hear much about these days - there's the more obvious...

Glad to see the club making the most of the Japanese connection...

I think a legend is someone who gives entertainment, hope and effort in equal measure. For some, Robbie Keane is a legend and he was only here for a season. At the other end you have Marcus Hall who had 2 spells for multiple seasons, and is never considered a legend. I don't think there's a...

Going loco with Tatshuri Sakamoto His name is quite long Going loco with Tatshuri Sakamoto it's quite hard to fit in a song

No transfer to KAA Gent or KRC Genk for Tatsuhiro Sakamoto , but to England. The flank attacker leaves KV Oostende and goes to work at Coventry Het Nieuwsblad comes out with that news . The Japanese flank attacker has been linked to Ghent and Genk in recent weeks, who had to pay about two...

It's 5:01. I'm going to start booing now.

It's remarkable really. Mark Robins and co have gone from wheeling and dealing free transfers in League 2 to now being in a position to buy at £8m, primarily through canniness in the marketplace and improving players. He's been slowly building an empire over the past few years.

Trevor Francis stole Atherstone? He'll be after Nuneaton next.

Can you try and get a picture that wasn't taken on a potato please?

Seems like a really nice lad who's over the moon to be playing for his club.

Best: Huckerby v Man Utd. The atmosphere was something else that night. Worst: v Worcester. I stopped going for a while after that, not because of that loss in isolation but because I hated Stephen Pressley with a passion, and I swore I wouldn't go again until he went. Childish and probably...

David Speedie was my first idol. He lived near me, and when he joined Liverpool he passed me on his bicycle and I gave him absolute dogs abuse. Feel bad about that to this day.

McNally & Doyle - excellent, would sign both in a heartbeat BNC & Panzo - on the whole very, very average - neither as good as I expected from the noise surrounding them, although BNC has got better as the games have ticked by JWE - average to poor - not really had much chance to have an impact...

I've accepted that Gus and Vic are going. No point thinking otherwise, and means I'll just be pleasantly surprised if they stay. My biggest worry is that we have a new recruitment team - who knows if they're able enough to spot the gems like the last lot were (although they did recruit some...

I think the most positive thing is that we always seem to adapt. From winning League One with a possession-based system, to morphing into a counter-attacking machine this season. MR and AV seem to be able to change it up according to the skills and strengths we have. I think this is just the...

Lets look on the bright side, we'll be an attractive club to join now so should have a decent squad next season. That's what let us down - having to play KP45 in place of Hamer when he clearly wasn't fit because we had fuck all else, and then put on Eccles in place of him because - again - we...

They were much, much better for 45 minutes. I reckon we were slightly better for the rest of it.

Fuck.
