    Ta Ta For Now..

    Well the wife and I have been thinking about this for some time and have finally decided to take the plunge... We have sold up both our properties, my house in Oxfordshire and hers in Newton Abbot.. The kids are taken care of, so I've cashed in my pension and decided to retire to South-West...

    Cheltenham tomorrow.

    Kayf Blanco EW in the 3 o'clock handicap hurdle. Down to a suitable grade and well handicapped on his best form, big run expected by a very shrewd local trainer affectionately known as "the judge" as he is a qualified barrister and QC as well as a holding a full licence.

    Johan Cruyff - Rest in Peace.

    Extremely saddened to hear the news of the passing of the great man. My greatest inspiration even though I only got as far the old Southern League as a player. Lucky enough to meet him in Spain in 76 when he gave our touring team a pep talk, and see him play a couple of times. How fortunate we...

    I know lets **** in a cup and chuck it over the balcony..

    What a great way to raise the profile of yourself and of your club... A fine of 2 weeks wages is a get out of jail card. I'm afraid it just reinforces the fact that your average professional footballer is as thick as tom tit…almost sub-Neanderthal intelligence at best…Darwin’s theory perfectly...

    Tis Team Talk Tonight

    Tis likes to think of himself as an educated man so perhaps it might go something like this..? Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words, Harry the King, Bedford and...

    Ribeiro Trip

    Its academic now of course ...but how I saw it in real time a subtle touch on Ribs trailing foot by the Liverpool player, causing Ribs to trip himself...almost like a tap tackle in Rugby...I've watched it over in slow mo. a few times and I am convinced it was a Penalty... I think by his reaction...

    Ribs

    No Ribs today ...not even on the bench.. I assume he was fit as no announcement from the club to the contrary. Any one have any inside info. ?

    Ribs and Co.

    Any news on the severity of the current crocks list...Ribeiro in particular. Club seems loath to really give any useful information on its web site other that the usual after match flannel.

    April/May next year

    I like to have a little wager each season on the movers and shakers in the division and have had some reasonable success over the years. Who do you think will be top 3 and bottom 3 next season come April/May. At decent odds My tip for Champions is Pompey. with Oxford, us and Luton floating...

    Is too early to talk about player of the year award?

    Well is it? 8 games left I know... I've got three players in mind but would, all things being equal favour Ribeiro on current form...unless Tom Nics bags another dozen goals in the last games. ( which I wouldn't rule out) Ribs has been very consistent apart form a blip when he was carrying a...

    Ribeiro

    Another great game today..... Mom for me... A real thoroughbred and a proper footballer ...delight to watch. A real bargain...well done Tis got to say you took a punt and it paid off handsomely. Nobes growing in stature every game too and a brilliant finish by Bennett.

    Mario Balotelli

    Looks like he's had his chips ( or pasta ) Liverpool seem to have plenty of spondulicks to chuck down the drain...first Andy Carroll now Balo... Obviously very talented but obviously something not quite right up top..! I recall watching him against Wales U21 in September 2009...Ramsey and our...
