No, not really, your warped mind just chooses to see it as such - you just need to get out a bit more. HTH

Not sure that his him - I think it someone who is having a larf as they say!!!!

I don't think the Chairman has to be liked but I think it important the fans, players and city at large have respect and trust. There was an intersting article in yesterday's Guardian about Chelsea's owner who while delivering titles and wealth etc has created a toxic club that no one likes. Some Chelsea fans are feeling now that perhaps the old days were best when many neutrals felt affection for Chelsea. The funny thing is Abramavic (sp) wants everyone to look up to his team in awe and respect but the way he has gone about it has created the exact opposite. NA's remarks on AP were most telling for me - most unlike NA not to be gracious.

I see Nile Ranger has been chosen for Sunday's squad

Ta for that

Yeah but the trail then goes cold

played in "that" game exactly 16 years ago today, but where is he now - he has disappeared. Anyone know? Someone reckons he is living in a caravan in Souness's back garden. I remember being on the pitch prior to the Leeds game helping film an award to MLT and watching him (Dia) kick a ball about as they did in those days. He did not look right then and later when he came on, despite nearly scoring, he looked like the proverbial fish out of water. Still can't believe it happened. Would love to hear his side of the story but someone has got to find him first.

1. Boruc 2. Gazzaniga 3. Davis

David Connolly is still without a club?

Just finished all the building work on his new place in C Ford too - the nefarious life of a footballer!

Info wrong we are going to share with HCC at Northlands Rd - Keep up! Freemantle wanted to gound share but we refused.

Trouble is Vectis I don't think Ron can face coming over now - he is very set in his lifestyle such as it is.

Interesting revisiting this. I don't think the club are sending anyone to Eric Day's funeral tomorrow. David Bull usually goes of his own accord and expense and is going (he went all the way to Lancs recently for Eddie Brown's). I don't think it is too much to ask for the club to at least send a card or some flowers.

I have a 90 seconds colour film footage of Leeds v Saints in 1948 which features Wayman - I bought it from a private amateur collection

I don't think it was too sinister Trousers, just a case that he wasn't prepared to play it the NC way - two egos and all that. NA is, shall we say, more diplomatic

I am assuming it is going to be positive (and so it should be, despite the fact he crossed swords with Cortese and subsequently took a bullet). However what ex-managers, still (potentially) involved in football would not get a warm welcome? Obviously Redknapp and Hoddle and I guess Burley would hardly get the Northam singing their praises but I think David Jones, Dave Merrington, Stuart Gray, Gordon Strachan, Paul Sturrock, Graeme Souness, Nigel Pearson and Steve Wigley would. Ian Branfoot? No probably he would get booed should he ever show his face and I guess the red carpet would not be laid out for Jan Poorvilet and Mark Wotte. Lawrie Mac? Actually I don't think I would go there, for he is a man who polarises like no other in our history. Personally I think his pluses just outweigh his negatives and his legacy of 76 at Wembley deserves respect. And let's not forget his successor, Chris Nicholl - a popular guy but a negative manager (according to Channon). So are you going to welcome Pardew, despite the fact he fell foul of NC?

I am still a bit mystified why the Courts can seemingly impose a compulsory purchase order on Farton Park. Surely if Chanrai owns it he should be able to decide a) whether he wishes to sell and b) the price or am I missing something?

I only have one agenda and that is to find out who "Once Bitterne" is as I have a feeling "he" is my ex-wife.

'You could at least get the bloke's name right - he's been at SMS long enough. Davis unfortunately is not Premiership class and Adkins knows it.

Wasn't there today but I have felt all along while Gazza is v promising, it is too big a step to introduce a 20 year old in to the Premiership with a club having its first season there. Boruc needs a kick up the arse, and he need to get fit because I feel he will be needed. It was interesting that NA obviously agreed too after dropping Gazzaniga after just a few games.

Two words: show pony!

Thanks I will soon be benefitting from your monthly fiver!

Yea I see John in my local Waitrose most weeks and of course he is a ST holder at SMS.

Someone who raises a lot more for charity then you probably do HTH

I am sure Neil Allen is just a lad on his work experience week who his school forgot to recall
