    Thank you, goodbye, good night and good luck

    Hi all, Long time since I've posted an opening thread on Exeweb (circa 2005 from what I can remember), but I just wanted to say a thank you to the forum for all the feedback for radio commentary both good and bad over the past few years. Since moving up to London ten years ago, I've quite...

    Apathy - a roll call

    One of the issues facing the club has been the drop off in numbers through the gates - a crucial component for any football club. I suspect there's a fair few on here who lurk or, like me, semi-lurk but rarely attend games now. What would be interesting would be to find out why you've cut down...

    Watson & Norwood

    I took up the offer of a spare season ticket to AFC Wimbledon's home game against Forest Green today and used it as an opportunity to check on how Ben Watson and James Norwood were doing. Results were mixed. FGR were decent and organised, if limited, and played well on the break, with Watson...

    Sercs

    There's been a lot of praise, rightly, for Tully, Rob Edwards and Jamie Cureton after Saturday's game, but I'd like to give a mention to Liam Sercombe he seems to be improving with every game. Last season I seriously wondered if he was going to make it, as he appeared to have gone backwards...

    A tactical analysis of City v Colchester

    Not sure if this has already been posted (can't see it doing a quick skim read0, but the excellent Zonal Marking site - which focuses on the tactical battles - was at SJP at the weekend and has written up a fascinating analysis of Exeter's tactics v Colchester's tactics and why and three-man...

    Longer thoughts on the Colchester game

    And a quick plug for the (very) occasional City blog I write in my spare time (no payment, no nuffink. Just pure City joy). http://larryecfc.blogspot.com/2010/08/exeter-2-colchester-2-same-old-same-old.html A lot to be encouraged by, a fair few bits to be worried about. I'm still reasonably...

    Fernando Torres: Big, dirty cheat

    For anybody who hasn't seen it, this is one of the most shocking dives I've seen: http://img13.abload.de/img/1277496422531i1sy.gif At the time I thought the red was justified, just. Having seen the slowed down replay, Torres looks like he's stepped on a giant nail and is jumping up in pain...

    Purple scarves

    Slightly odd question this, but wondered if anybody could help... A couple of weeks ago, I dragged my American friend to watch City play Southend. Given she's a Vill and Seattle Sounders fan, it's fair to say that she'd not quite experienced anything like the away end at Roots Hall - and has...

    Putting the Trust back into football

    Apologies for a bit of shameless self-promotion here, but all week over at Pitch Invasion I'm doing a series of articles focusing on fan and Supporter Trust ownerships: the state of play, the successes, the failures and where we go from here. Obviously City feature reasonably regularly in this...

    Cake or death?

    Your choice. What's it to be?

    Yes, people are that stupid

    This is utterly brilliant. A geeky tech blog that I read writes an article about Facebook and uses the word login in the title. It ends up on the front page of Google for results for "Facebook login". Not very clever people, who access Facebook by typing "Facebook login" into Google stumble...

    A small question

    Firstly, I'd just like to say thanks to Martin for posting the statement and commentary on our finances on the Trust site - really interesting reading and something he didn't need to do. Thanks Martin! However, one thing puzzled me and has been bothering me since I read it: "The published...

    Perspective

    Without wanting to pull things down a bit after the amazing highs of yesterday... I'd like to echo what Moxey said in his match report - today's victory will count for little if we don't get something against Yeovil next week. And, I'd like to add, the home game at Carlisle after that. A win...

    Amazing football this weekend around the globe

    This weekend, with very little Premier League on, I've ended up watching two of the best games I've seen in a very long time. First off was Inter Milan v bottom-of-the-table Siena last night, where Inter came back from 3-2 down to win 4-3 in the final minute - a game that had me gripped from...

    Half season ratings

    As done over at the Happy As Larry blog. Most likely to be wildly inaccurate and wholly ill-thought through. I've liked Stanno, Matt T and Steve Tully a lot this season. http://larryecfc.blogspot.com/2009/12/hals-entirely-subjective-and-probably.html Apologies to the link pimping. I'll now go...

    Chester City

    Get ANOTHER reprieve. Until Thursday at least. Not quite sure how this club is still playing in the Conference in its current guise and with the current people associated with it!

    The Thick of It

    Anybody watch this? I seriously think this is my favourite show on TV at the moment. I've not laughed so many at a sitcom for ages. Somehow I don't think I can repeat the best lines on here, least I get a lifetime ban! I also happen to think excessive and creative use of swearing is big and...

    Moaning

    So, yesterday, despite being 4-0 up, for the second half I was stood near a couple of people who decided that the best way to gee on and support the team was to shout abuse and constantly say how rubbish they were. For five minutes it was amusing. For 40 minutes, it was massively irritating...

    You've got to feel for Weymouth

    After all they've been through, now Ian Ridley's announced he's temporarily stepping down as chairman to undergo treatment for prostate cancer. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/8282723.stm If you've never read his book, Floodlit Dreams, do - it's a fascinating read. Think...

    Rob Edwards

    A quick word of praise for Rob Edwards yesterday. He's had some criticism on here of late, and his legs probably aren't quite what they once were, but yesterday he was excellent. I can't remember him losing a single header and even when players got in behind him in the second half his...
