Former Echo scribe Nick Beer has a good Neil Whitworth anecdote... Beeros tells it much better than me [and, moreover, won't get the minutiae wrong] but, essentially, Monday morning's Echo match report blamed Whitworth for all three goals City had conceded in their defeat two days earlier...

Nice clip – just a shame Stano never got his letter. :-(

Ditto. FWIW, Emirates Group had turnover in excess of 100 billion last year, with profits of almost 11 billion, so don't think a boycott is gonna bring 'em to their knees.

It occurs to me our 'premier teams', ie those who, as a result of their forays into Europe, might find themselves facing a fixture pile-up, will almost always win their FA Cup ties at the first time of asking. Indeed, I just looked back and Manchester City haven't had to endure the 'hardship'...

Not sure that's gonna have a lot of effect.

Assuming, that is, we were paying any part of his wages in the first place, which we might / might not have been. Ditto Muskwe.

Nonsense. He'll definitely continue as a pro and I'd be 99 per cent certain that will be in the Football League or, in a very worst-case scenario, the Conference. Plainly, he doesn't feature in GC's long-term plans, but when Kyle's played this season he's looked perfectly capable and to suggest...

Exeter City in talks with Zak Jules over new long-term deal - Devon Live

Didn't imagine it would be quite that high. When was it that this happened?

A pal mentioned to me last night that we've now scored in nine successive games [ironic given how we've generally struggled for goals this season] and wondered whether this was anywhere close to a club record. Over to you... PS Don't blame me if we fail to score at Vale Park tomorrow! ;-)

Slightly off topic but Barton appears to have completely lost the plot. Appreciate he's been seeking to position himself as football's answer to Katie Hopkins for a few months now, but if his tweets are anything to go buy reckon he might be having some kind of breakdown. Truly grim stuff.

If that's the case then surely the easier task was to transform the fortunes of the underperforming team [as opposed to the one which was already meeting expectations]?!

Broadly agree with most of what you've written. However, I'm not sure the situation SMT inherited at Bristol Rovers is a whole lot different from the one GC inherited here.

FWIW, he was defo at Saturday's game against Stevenage. As an aside, can't imagine Admiral is going to have too many offers next season – if he's fit and available for a pittance I could see us taking a[nother] punt!

What's Archie got in his hand?!

If only a few more people were it might not be in quite such a mess!

Went to have a look at the above link and was greeted by this. Couldn't help wondering which level of subscription Jinx and Tavvy have signed up to. Am assuming they'll have paid the £216 for 'benefits' including including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and the Great British Daily Crossword...

This is worth a read: Did Angela Rayner fail to pay CGT on her house sale? (taxpolicy.org.uk)

Is this why you're hotfooting it to South America?! ;-)

Don't disagree with anything you've written. My point was more that last summer, having barely played for the best part of two years, Carroll would have been happy to take a one-year contract, hundreds of miles from his family, in order to prove he could still do a job – having done that, I...
