    YEOVIL - Smaller squad than CCFC ???

    Also found themselves in the bottom three at Christmas, so got a new manager in.

    So if our budget is reasonable in League One terms, then any success will not be due to Thorn, but to Sisu? Can see that line going down well on here.

    But what is your point? Once or a hundred times still difficult to see that it is anythiung more than: Budget = Success Whoever has the most money will win, the least will lose, and managers are irrelevant. It is valid though, which explains why Leicester and West Ham walked away with the...

    Expect he had the lowest budget of any of the Premiership sides last season, though Lambert may have ran him close. According to MMM, budget is all though, if you have a bottom three budget, then it doesn't matter who you are, you will finish in the bottom three. Plenty of teams disprove that.

    A good manager would outperform his resources, why should any of us bother at all? Just issue the places at the start of the season based on budget. Dalgleish would have probably kept his job then, and Rodgers wouldn't be at Liverpool now because he'd have been relegated with Swansea before a...

    Retro City...

    Weren't the fifties our lowest ebb? "The post-war years brought troubled times, Storer left for Birmingham City in 1945 and returned in 1951 but his ageing side were relegated to Division Three South in 1952. That decade witnessed many false dawns before the team embarked on the slide...

    Hoffman... where the f**k are you ?

    That's fair enough if you like him, just don't find him particularly good myself! I have a huge fondness for Sean Flynn, who most wouldn't rate at all.

    CWR interview and books submission

    Somebody misheard, it's a books discussion. This week it's "Das Kapital One" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. A searing critique of Capitalism, and how if left unchecked will lead to playing teams like Dagenham away in the first round.

    Thorn talks about his defence

    Thought it was pretty strong evidence that can't be ignored myself.

    Hoffman... where the f**k are you ?

    You have something called penicillin on this world? What's that? Is it some sort of tactic to keep the ball out of the opposing teams penalty area? Thorn did invent that back on my mine. Just hope the fucking Tories haven't got in, was a bloody disaster back home.

    Hoffman... where the f**k are you ?

    Err, can you not read? There was no unbeaten 9 game run, and was in 5 of the 10 game non-winning run. Think you old gits may suffer a little from dementia too. Good with his head? If you want the ball just headed straight up in the air then he's your man? As for not wasting balls when in...

    The Mighty Quinn

    Phil Neal also signed Dublin, the big money to spend of course was given to Big Ron, and then Strachan who mostly spunked it all away. Best value buy has to have been Nuddy, about £10,000 from Bulawayo bullets, think a Sillet or Gould signing?
