I can't see Mitchell marrying a Rimmer (phnaar phnaar) at Blenheim Palace anytime soon.
It just shows what teams in the National League are up against and why we must turn our fourtunes around now, while we have a chance. If we go down we wouldn't have a cat in hells chance of coming back up under RC.
How can we look so tired and disinterested? We’ve just had 3 out of 4 games at home and an extra day to recover before Christmas. While Stanley have been travelling up and down the country and should have been more interested in saving themselves for Anfield next week. It's all a bit worrying.
The penalty? Was it given for a foul or for Colchester bringing the game into disrepute by being so utterly shit at defending.
Whalley is 37, but up against Flanagan he looks like a gazelle that's escaped from Colchester Zoo.
At 6:59 DC looks to the skys as if to say "Oh Lord please make this stop" I think it was just a coinsidence that NC was on the gantry.
Yes that's him, still in short trousers when Lyle turned professional.
Anyone under the age of 50 is still a boy as far as I'm concerned (unless they're a girl, .....errrr.....or on the fence - time to stop digging me thinks).
Richardson, Anderson, Harbottle (aka dirty ####), and Alistair Smith came in on loan and it's fair to say they didn't set the world alight, but at the risk of sounding a bit 'frankie' DC didn't exactly work wonders with the rest of the squad, so I don't know if it's fair to blame the players, two of whom are now regulars with high flying Wimbledon (along with Goodman).
I believe he was and bizarrely, not only the fee, but also the length of contract was undisclosed.
Just to clarrify my earlier post, two and a half years is the minimum that Carlisle have given out, they've signed a 25 year old midfielder on a three and a half year deal and presumably if they want the wonder boy from Altrincham, he will want the same. They are obviously paying good money if they are securing their targets this early in the window.
If it comes to it, I don't think we can rely on them being one of two teams worse than us.
Agreed, but that was three years ago. As far as I can see, the last time we gave a two and a half year contract was two years ago. Since then (I think) everyone has come in on a 1 or 2 year deal, while we have been bringing in money from the wholesale selling of players, and increased gates.
Add to this that we will probably fanny around trying to squeeze every last drop out of a Samson deal until the last minute and then, with what little money is made available, we will have missed the boat.
Players of the quality of Poku, Mingi, Bradley, Chilvers are all getting 3 year deals and Fevs and Junior 4 years. Meanwhile DC has only been able to offer short term deals to freebies. It just shows how hard his job is. If he knew it would be like this, I’m amazed he took the job.
Hopefully, this time next week, I’ll be stuffing humble pie in my cake-hole when we finally start to splash some of the cash we've received.
Talking of Carlisle, and as an indication of how other teams are looking to avoid the drop, the Cumbrians have already made three signings in this window and they are giving out two and a half and three and a half year contracts.
With our way of doing things, it's hardly suprising that we run the risk of ending up with the scraps.
The joys of having a wealthy US owner with no idea about football. How can you go from Neil Harris to John Colemen in 2 years!!!! I would feel sorry for them if they weren't the Saarfend of Kent.
Talk about a square peg in a round hole, dirty northern b@stard at the home of estuary chavs. The sad thing is, apart from Dale, he’s always got results.
At least Galinson ditched the manager at the beginning of the transfer window, unlike his fellow Floridians at Carlisle who sacked theirs immediately as the last window closed and look how that turned out. Clueless!
At least we can have hope that RC will get the hang of it eventually.
This really is a golden opportunity for RC to reverse his shitshow of the last 18 years. Gates are up dramatically, money has flowed in from player sales and there are signs that the losing mentality is thawing. DC is not perfect, but he’s the best we are going to get and given a reasonable budget is capable of getting us to L1.
If the future is going to be tied to gate receipts, then it is vital that we keep the influx of support and increase it. RC has done so much to destroy the benefits of moving to a new stadium, but in DC he has the chance to put more and more bums on seats.
The cult of DC and the current wave of optimism will not last forever. If the instructions are to accept any offer and again spend buttons on replacements, then we will at best tread water, until the inevitable demise happens.
The Curate: "Oh no, my Lord, I assure you! Parts of it are excellent!"
Hopper will be a fantastic asset when they start giving points for 'having someone who runs around a lot'.
Until then it would be better for all if he was scoring for fun in the National League South.
It's a tough world and being a nice person doesn't count for much, but facts are facts and some people should be grateful that they got the chance to play professional football for a while.
Conor Wilkinson, well on his way to 25+ goals this season is a perfect example of dropping down a level or two.
As I close in on my quest to complete ‘the 92’ I have suffered a few Premiership games this season and the atmosphere at some grounds is breathtakingly shocking. Even grounds like Newcastle are poor compared to the 80s/90s.
The worst by a country mile is the London Stadium. You have a cheap built stadium unfit for football, most of the crowd are so far from the pitch you’d see more on the telly, fickle moaning fans that were never that wonderful at Upton Park, shite transport links that means the ground is half empty after 85 mins and a mixture of prawn sarnie brigade and tourists whose only reason for being there is to put a photo on their social media account. Talk about football in a library, all you hear are the away fans. If it had happened to any other club, I would feel sorry for the supporters, (although I’m expecting Man City to be much the same if I ever get there).
The funniest thing by far is that West Hams rivals Tottenham have the most amazing stadium in the country (I’m not a Spurs fan at all) Any one who hasn’t been should go if they get the chance. It really is a ‘no expense spared’ stadium that is far better than any other in the UK. The famous beer glasses that fill from the bottom are just an example of how futuristic it is.
Putting my obvious allegiances aside, I honestly believe that, pound for pound, we have some of the best fans out of the 92. The BlueWhite Army have done a fantastic job and collectively deserve a place in the Col U Hall of Fame.
