    There were a lot of punts on players at that time. Laurent Delorge, Ivan Guerero, some centre back who cost a cool million (can't remember his name) but barely played, Runar Normann, Jairo something-or-other. It's like we had money to burn.

    20 years ago today since....

    I spoke to Phil Neal about a month after we signed him, and Neal said he'd had no idea how good Dion's left foot was. He also said that when Lee Hurst got over his knee injury we'd have one hell of a team. Lee Hurst is one of my saddest memories of that time (alongside David Rennie's presence in...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Crewe Alexandra Match Thread - Saturday 30th Sep

    Best thing about the way Doyle does his dirty work is that he manages to look innocent. The Swindon sending off, he clearly kicks the player, then acts with rage for a split second when he gets pushed in the face, then calmly walks away. He doesn't get in their faces while the ref is looking...

    January transfer window

    Did we sell our players last Jan? Or did we turn down bids for Haynes, Willis and Stephenson? Sure, if a multi-million pound bid comes in for anyone they will go, but that isn't SISU or Fisher dictating that, that's footballing reality for a Division Four club. And no, I'm not pro SISU before...

    Match Thread Swindon Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Sep

    This league is so tight at the moment that each win feels vital. A bad defeat on Saturday and we could theoretically drop down to 11th (although I'm sure some of those teams will play each other, so maybe not). Still, it shows that we have to keep getting points on the board. No room for...

    Love the way Doyle winds them up and then walks away.

    How many reds in our games so far this season? 4 or 5?

    First half performances

    Yeah, maybe. Although, to be fair, everything remotely positive that I post is more in blind hope than belief.

    First half performances

    Perhaps this is a simplistic view, but I believe that as the season wears on, and other teams start to scramble for points and open up to attack as a result, we'll see our style of play reap its rewards.

    Professional Performance

    But as a professional athlete shouldn't he have enough in the tank to do both?

    Appears to be the worst injury crisis I can remember in recent times.

    Bobby Gould says cruciate or anterior for Vincenti. Out for a while.

    Whoes the gay boy in the pink?

    The problem with political correctness is that you can offend without meaning to. Calling someone blind when they prefer visually impaired, calling someone coloured instead of black (hi Dad!), calling someone small instead of vertically challenged. The words aren't the important thing - what is...

    6 shots to 1 in our favour on the BBC website. This is far from over.

    First Ever Cov Match You Saw ?

    First game I saw was a 0-0 against Charlton. I seem to recall the ticket cost 3 quid, and I thought it was expensive. The first game I can actually remember is the 3-4 defeat against Middlesboro with Speedie getting a hat-trick (and climbing on the fencing to celebrate iirc) and Bernie Slaven...
