VectisSaint Posted 1 February, 2021 Posted 1 February, 2021 Maurizio Pochettino has joined Watford from Spurs. Not sure he was actually officially ever on our books, but he certainly used to train with our Academy when his old man was in charge.

He played one game and then went off to Mansfield. Similar age to Michael Owen and was part of England Schoolboys at the same time. Lived down the road from me and known as a bit of a knob locally. Not really a surprise.

Fan The Flames Posted 8 August, 2021 Posted 8 August, 2021 Went to Gillingham v Lincoln yesterday. Dan Nlundulu wasn't playing for Lincoln, possibly injured but Ben Reeves came on for the last 20 minutes for Gillingham. Looked technically good but had little impact on the game, looks skinny next to all the bulked up footballers.
