    If SISU won compensation...

    I have no doubt that in the (very unlikely) event of Sisu winning, say, £100m in compensation, you wouldn't see their arses for dust. The money would be in the Cayman Islands within seconds of hitting their account and the club would be abandoned without a second thought. This has been their...

    Burge to be Number 1?

    I believe a solid team starts with a good keeper that a defence can have confidence in, and Burge doesn't meet that requirement. In our division many teams are of a similar standard with loans, kids and journeymen. A good goalkeeper will give you a distinct edge, as history tells us with CCFC...

    Burge to be Number 1?

    You need a decent keeper to make any progress. City have been fortunate over the years in generally having good keepers and some of them were largely responsible for keeping our top flight status for as long as we did. Even at the level we are at now, we need someone who is better than what we...

    Reda has been offered reduced wages

    Maybe he could be on a pay-as-you-play deal. He may finish up owing the club money! He is a decent player when he's fit, but he's no good to anyone playing less than 50% of the games. His appearance record has been so poor over several years that even if he left, whoever takes him on would...

    Away Kit Ideas

    I like A or B. A would need to scrap the odd-looking sleeves and stick with just red and green. We had a similar kit based on civic colours about 90 years ago so it has history. B harks back to 1969-70 in a way, our best away season ever and when we got into Europe. Shame how that sponsor's...

    Would we want Kirkland back?

    Decent keeper. The only snag with Kirkland is that he has a poor injury record. We have had so many players with a sicknote past, but Burge would then probably be adequate as his cover. So, on balance, yes if he could pass a stringent medical, especially on his back.

    Reda not at training today

    Shouldn't he be doing that walking football for the over-50s?

    North Stand Private Seat Licence Holders

    Why would it be a problem to move the padded seats? You can simply swap the seat and back parts over in a couple of minutes with basic tools. It is probably bone idleness to pretend otherwise.

    Reda not at training today

    Probably off with a touch of sunburn. At least if he's out of contract since yesterday he shouldn't need a note from his mum.

    Nick Proschwitz the first to get away....

    This was a narrow escape, I reckon. He was a dreadful player who couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Not the greatest quality for someone in the team to score goals. If we can't get a more consistent goalscorer that Proschwitz we are in serious trouble.

    Season Ticket Sales

    We have gone for a 6-game package, downgrading from a season ticket. We went to the ticket office on Friday to collect them and it seems a decent scheme. You can just turn up on the day and exchange your voucher for a random ticket. Or you can do it beforehand and specify any unsold seat as...

    They are a bogey team for us.

    Great Expectations

    Great Expectations? It would make a change from recent seasons, take your pick from Hard Times or Bleak House. With the current owners, it's perhaps more like the Old Curiosity Shop. At least we should never go back to A Tale of Two Cities....

    Capital One Cup

    I agree that the League Cup is the lowest priority, even more so than the JPT which does give us a possible Wembley opportunity. If you get through in the League Cup and draw a decent Premier team, chances are they will send their reserves who will still be too good for a Division 3 team. No...

    Anyone Slightly Nervous- Stokes/Tudgay

    Stokes is a non-league player and looked like it at times. If we are planning to use players of that standard it is very worrying. I suppose it is possible that previous league clubs who rejected him were wrong and failed to spot a late developer. If we are to mount any sort of challenge in...

    Screen Wash news

    I was going to buy some but it was past its best before date. It goes quite sour when this happens. Poor service too, they didn't even have a couple of bottles in the fridge.

    Sorry!

    I wondered if the elastic band had broken or if the hamster had died. But then I'm not that techie.
