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! ;-)

Interesting article - seems Tisdale is now involved at Hampton & Richmond, and was, at least in part, the inspiration for Ted Lasso. Highlights below, but can be read in its entirety here: WONDERS OF THE PYRAMID: Meet the eccentric Petruzzo brothers who survived two weeks in the jungle before...

This is fantastic IMO: https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2024/01/10/why-you-should-invest-in-this-football-club/

Well, why not?! And here's a link to the Trust's YouTube channel, where the hustings will be screened live, for anyone who can't get to SJP for 10.10am this morning: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUu71dHhi8meVMoVLqIPzOQ

Apologies if this is elsewhere and I’ve missed it - off to Stoke apparently.

Thought this was 'interesting' in light of some of the discussions that have been taking place over the last couple of weeks: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/nov/19/henry-slade-exeter-gloucester-premiership-rugby Of course, it could be a simple administrative error, as we're asked to...

Some interesting stuff, of pertinence to City, in here: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/02/mps-urge-football-clubs-to-back-fan-recommendations-over-sustainability For sure, if this were to happen, we should benefit more than most:

Wolves have got a defender! Wolves have signed Alfie Pond from Exeter for £500k. He had joined Yeovil on loan earlier this month, a move which has now been cancelled after Wolves made their move. Pond, who is expected to link up with the Under-21 side, is at the training ground finalising the...

Just stumbled across this photo on the Twitter feed of East Devon MP Simon Jupp [@simonjamesjupp]. Is that who I think it is centre front? He must be about 105!

This is an interesting read: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/17/rethinking-value-football-fairer-sport-society-hollywood-wrexham Does anyone know, are we a member of the Fair Game alliance? On the face of things, it would seem to tick lots of our boxes.

Was speaking to a friend of Ivor’s who told me he’s now 97 and not in the beast of health. What’s more, I understand he’s not been on best of terms with the club. Now, I don’t pretend to know the ins and outs of the situation, but I can’t help thinking Ivor is a decent guy, who did his best for...

With yesterday’s announcement that, as of October 1, you’ll require a COVID pass, confirming you’re double jabbed, to enter venues where ‘large crowds gather’, I was wondering whether this will apply to SJP. The reality, I guess, is at this point nobody knows. My immediate assumption was that...

I was going to post this on the Joel Randall thread, but thought it probably merited one of its own. On the aforementioned thread, a number of people have pointed out that, such is our reputation for producing talented and well-grounded youngsters, we can reasonably expect to sell such players...

Interesting piece on The Athletic website last week: https://theathletic.com/2234253/2020/12/02/brexit-transfer-premier-league/?source=freeweeklyemail Apparently, as of January 1 when we depart the EU, UK clubs will no longer be able to sign any overseas players aged under 18. One presumes...

I'm hoping this thread won't descend into a debate about Sweenz's playing ability, though FWIW I think he's a very capable League Two defender who has given us good service over a number of years; likewise, it's not my intention to start a debate on Matty T's man-management skills, though, from...
