He’s properly rambling there. I think what he’s trying to say is that he’d be more concerned if the officials thought that Beckles had touched it and still didn’t give offside, but he then starts saying that if they haven’t seen Beckles touch it then that’s the most concerning thing. Interesting to...

Never rated him…. Probably a good reason we should take him back.

I disagree. He is better than Williams, Abdulai and O’Neill. Would take Agyei over him though.

IMO the only manager on a par with RW in the lower divisions, Dave Challinor next. Going to be a tough one.

I had a blackout in Benidorm circa 1989

Of all the clubs to pick on it ain’t Wrexham. They are a proper football club that got lucky. Every team in the premier league is now followed by thousands of tourists every week. Are they all fake?, if they are, who is real? If we get to the championship and moved stadiums we would find another 8,0...

I like Wrexham. They suffered for so many years in the National League. Now living the dream.

Koroma scores today. Josh, we love you here man. You are an o’s legend. Who would you rather see in the play offs, Reading the cheats or the club you grew up with.

Looks like he has a few quid but not super wealthy. Whether, in this day and age, you can run any football club that has championship ambitions without being super wealthy is debatable.

I don’t understand the 10 more years thing, I mean if the club offered him a new 10 year contract I wouldn't really be that happy. Also, that would bring him up to 50 and I can’t really see him starting at that age. A few cameos off the bench perhaps.

Hmmmm.. not sure about that old chap.

Keeley? That has to be a wind up. As someone said, perhaps Donley if the stars align. That’s it.

Rooting for Rose because he played a great round. Rory hit a worldie 2nd on the playoff hole but was equally amazing (eg 15th) and awful (eg 13th). I always find it hard to warm to McIlroy but hats off to him for achieving the grand slam. Nick Faldo is a top commentator. Same. Not a huge fan. Bryso...

Fancy Mansfield biggly in this one. They have players back from injury and need a win to be sure of staying up. We have lots of injuries and look like we’re on the beach. 3-0 to them.

Most of our best players are loans. Great. When you look at the lists it would be laughable if we got promoted.

No.

We won’t win. We are an upper mid table side (not a play off side yet) and that’s where we will finish.

Funnily enough, I don’t like to mention, but I’ve just got home from my first time in oz. It was strange in so much as it was so far away but really didn’t feel like I was abroad in lots of ways. My other half lived there for 5 years and said it’s very different living there - not a lot to do in Pe...

Yes. But even if we did go broke eventually we may get the cheerleaders back. Imagine those pert derrières and heaving bosoms.

Never heard of half of them. At least Henderson is a familiar face (to me). I won’t be watching.

So 15 players required Richie’s yearly team rebuilding They’ll all be bedded in by Xmas! Exactly. We need lots of players. We never do anything quickly in the transfer market. We will be in the bottom four after 10 games. Rinse and repeat. I guess such is life being an orient fan. Not sure RW will ...

Injuries have screwed us over, shame, but not realistic to expect to manage with your first choice back 4 out. That seems to have given lack of confidence to the whole team. Where before we were quick, incisive, winning 2nd balls were now slow, ponderous, playing out from the back 4 is not working....

Our budget is around 10th for the division and we will probably finish around 10th. A big fat nothing done. We should get Richie for another season though.

Whilst he has good close control of the ball, & from time to time he can pick out a decent pass, he lacks so much in my opinion. He has zero pace. Ive rarely seen a forward with such little pace. I dont think ive ever seen him head a ball either. He cant run with the ball, like say Dan A. Kelma...
