Hello all. I've got a spare ticket going for the Newcastle game in SK1, £20 if anyone is interested. I'm going with three others so it was cheaper to go for the 5 tickets for £99 deal than buy 4 seperately, hence the spare. If anyone is interested please drop me a PM. Apologies if this is in...

Re: more typos on the official site There is a difference between a typo and something written by someone with no command of the English language... The stuff on the OS is appallingly written.

Re: Ex-players (the thread nobody's been waiting for) I was sat behind Little at the game, Gainsborough were awful. I was so tempted to shout "what you need to do now is stick Rooster Russell on..." Was a bit weird seeing my first managerial hero in the non-leagues.

Are we getting a bit overexcited here? He's made an impact in a League One game which, if i recall correctly, he also did a fair few times for us last season. Even Stephen Hughes looked half decent in that game, although he still can't tackle for toffee.

He wasn't even good enough for Telford in Conference North. Bin him off to the Unibond where he belongs.

Short-term thinking and unneccessary moaning. I can't understand why anyone would even slightly entertain the idea of selling King when he is only 20, was magnificent on the whole last season and is only going to get better. And if O'Neill is interested, it backs that up. He's hardly what...

Yeah I think it is Steve Pumfrey - met him at the Westerby Cup final the other day, top bloke. I've done some work experience on a couple of dailies and you're right, it is a bit cushy - I think one or two stories a day are expected and the rest is spent watching Sky Sports News!

I know that to a great extent, what he does and doesn't write is governed by the relationship between club and paper. It's a difficult balance because on one side you want to get the good stories, but you have be careful not to upset the apple cart too much, or the people who provide your...

Re: Ex-players (the thread nobody's been waiting for) Bit late, but I watched Andy Johnson and Julian Joachim play for King's Lynn at Hinckley last week. I won't hear a word against JJ, but Johnson was utterly useless, even for Conference North level. Reminded me of the similarly crap-haired...

I was at the Hinckley v Telford game last night. Sappleton played for 78 minutes and was hopeless, although the wind was so bad it made the game a bit of a farce at times. His first touch was awful, he didn't hold the ball up well, and to round it off he got a yellow for stupidly kicking the...

Certainly makes next Saturday's trip to concrete cow town more fruity, doesn't it? Can't wait!

No puns here, just a comment on the player. Seen him play for Northampton twice, very impressed. Should do just fine for us.

Having just watched the Bolton highlights on MOTD, he set up one, nearly scored a couple and looked easily good enough for that standard. Good luck to the lad, shame he's playing for Megson, that's the thing which grates most.

Sadly I understand from my mate at the Mercury, who often hears whispers just before they are confirmed, that Davies to Bolton is a done deal. Tomorrow will apparently be his last game and the detestable ginger will move on Monday. Just as well Big Nige got Cleverley in when he did - only...

Gutted about this but I'm happy with Morrison and we shouldn't sell him short. He's a young lad who has comfortably made the step up from the Conference to a top League One side and hasn't once looked out of place. Sure, he makes the odd mistake and he likes a hoof. But we aren't going to be...

Re: Ex-players (the thread nobody's been waiting for) Tricky Trev Benjamin played for the mighty Wellingborough Town (his hometown club) on Boxing Day, scoring after 10 minutes on his debut! He'll be playing Sunday League next...

4-4-2, one game that sticks in the memory was the Wolves game at home where Fryatt got the winner a few years back. Weso was alongside Joey in the middle and gave a superb display. Then he broke his leg again in the next game... He's not perfect, but compared with the shite we've had to put up...

I'd be very disappointed if this happens, not least for Weso himself! When fit he's easily good enough for the Championship, and this move pretty much guarantees League Two football next season, where I suspect he'll be kicked and hacked straight back onto the treatment table.

Don't count your chickens on this one! They had the best home record in the league last season, and although they have lost two of their key players (Westwood and Garner) I reckon they will click soon. First home game for the new boss too. A mate is a Carlisle fan and a bunch of us are...

Re: Elvis Doh!

Elvis Can you guess who has signed him? "has been out of action for over a year with an ankle injury..." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/cheltenham_town/7723875.stm

Du Du Du Du Matty Fryatt!! Hopefully he's shutting a few morons up tonight...

It was such a great feeling at the end, proper smash and grab! We were rubbish for large parts of the game but still won - the kind of win that hopefully wins leagues. King was hopeless IMO and his goal just papered over a few cracks. Gradel and Gilbert were also rubbish. But I thought Morrison...

I'm surprised at everyone's poor rating of Oakley, I thought at times he looked a class apart. Each to their own I guess. Other standouts were Morrison, Gradel and Fryatt, who was excellent and looked sharper than he has for ages. Don't know how much of that was down to the opposition though...

Once again the Mercury insists on treating us all like morons with the latest story on their website, this time telling us that Mattock is concentrating on Leicester. This comes from the same paper which told us that Megson was holding 'clear the air' talks with Mandaric when he was in Bolton...

Pearson spends all week making sensible, well though-out signings and then Milan comes along today and p1sses all over his chips with this. Forgive me for being cynical, but we are paying £800k for a defender who we have no idea about whether he is suited to the English game or not. Is there...

Full and Half? Sorry....

let the exodus begin

He got spotted by City playing for Harborough Town and his family live in Lubenham near Harborough so he is a genuine local lad

down we go

What a fvking stupid thread. Seriously, I know most City fans are losing their minds but this takes the biscuit. Why not start a thread about Jose Mourinho coming here for good measure?

I thought DJ worked hard and at least showed some willing. And Hendrie, though clearly not fit, is clearly more creative than anything we have at present. Still, we're fecked whichever way you look at it. Losing games like that is relegation form. I should know, I see it happen at the Marston's...

No idea why the third one was chalked off. The ball went in the bottom right hand corner and the free kick was taken just in front of the left side of the 6 yard box! Officials awful but shouldn't mask how poor we were and the game in general. Lack of width is painfully obvious and Clemence just...

Because the Mercury and the club are "media partners". This is why Bill is Milan's lapdog and why you will never read any criticism of the club from the journalists who write about City. The bit where the fans text or write is there to try and make up for this.

What has Holloway done? Apart from turning you into a well above-average Championship side and signing quality players that years ago you wouldn't have dreamed of having? And making you ambitious enough to be ABSOLUTELY GUTTED when he left?

I feel pretty stronngly that the abuse MDV took in the time he was here highlights all that is bad about a certain moronic element of our support, who would have barracked him regardless of his performances. He looked superb at the start of the season, especially against Watford. Cheers for the...

Seeings as (a) we won today and (b) we played well, isn't the message board looking tidy tonight? Usually by now there would be four or five threads moaning, started by the usual suspects, but which contain very little informed comment, just random grumbling. Nice not to see that today. So...

Clemence hasn't been great but that's due in no small part to him usually being the only actual midfielder on the pitch. Clem and Oakley would make a great pairing - therefore it's hardly going to be in our best interests to piss him off by dropping him/ stripping him of the captaincy, is it?

Excellent, not only is he a good 'keeper but he has been involved in a sex scandal. That's the sort of lad we need here, get the spirit of La Manga back. At least we were in the Premiership then!

Yes accepted, I suppose I have the tendency to be positive about new signings before they turn out to be total disasters. I shall stay positive again here that he's a McAuley rather than a Low. I saw him play against Carlisle in December, he had a good game, scored a last minute equaliser. As...
