Got his come uppance in 87!

No need to worry about GT scoring against us. He hasn't played a full pre-season with Scunthorpe.

No, you're right. Obviously, we shouldn't have signed him. But now that we have, we'll just have to put up with it - and keep using that gel on those squeaky doors. A pre-season with the gel can would have fixed that!

Typical! Gray is the only one still on our books and SISU wouldn't even stump up for a picture. I've heard that Crouch is hopeless with headers, but at least he still seems to have two good feet.

I can't wait for the outcry: "Bloody Lukaku - what's he ever done! We might as well have Kevin Kyle back!"

I wonder if all the other journalists asked are also insiders who are in the know. Like Andy Turner is.

So it's settled. Sunderland, Barnsley and Peterborough or Portsmouth it is. Tell MR. He may as well not bother. The only really interesting thing to find out is whether Southend are going to be promoted or relegated!

But I thought Andy Turner had got a scoop for the first time in his career. Coventry are no longer interested in a Portsmouth reserve that they never said they were interested in buying. A great scoop! Even if it turns out to be true, it would be much less fun than what people in the know on...

It's quite simple. If people think any money they spend supporting our team will go straight into Joy Seppala's pay packet, they are going to be less inclined to support our team. Footnote for absolute clarity: Not supporting CCFC = Negativity (that's bad) for CCFC

Precisely. It doesn't say that. That is what makes it dishonest journalism. It is presented in a way that misleads the public. If it were just carelessness - not bothering to read what is actually there - it would be careless journalism. The sneaky bit is that we already know they are...

My reading is that MacAnthony says he didn't bid £200,000 but Barry Fry did. I.e. Peterborough did bid £300,000

How can a signing a day (or not) ever be boring? It may end up very frustrating. Then again it might end up very exhilarating!

I think it's one of the Trialist triplets that were around this time last year. No 4 is probably the fourth triplet.

Quite right. It was a typo. 17 goals in 66 games for us. Was a goal every 3.88 games.

Tommy English scored a goal every three or four games throughout his career, including scoring 17* goals for us in 66 games while we we were in the top flight. The only blip in his record was when he went to Leicester for a couple of years and only scored 3 in 44 games. Anyway, you would...

Well, doesn't concrete tend to crumble, unless reinforced? Perhaps being reinforced with just one shaky Rod proved insufficient.

And if Max gets a hat trick on day one, an apology or two maybe?

Well reading that compendium of poor performance has really cheered me up! Well, it did, once I ran through the talent now at MR's disposal. What a lot of moaners there still are on this forum! To add just one more from an earlier era, I have to mention Lol Harvey. He certainly didn't have...

I agree. Which manager shall we back?

Didn't realise his injury was a metatarsal in his index finger.
