Well, Hemming is doing well there after returning to St Mirren, who loved him from his previous stint there.

So maybe!

There was definitely chatter around signing one of the loanees, has that gone quiet? They mention it as Kelman but that the valuation between the two clubs was far apart and so it was now unlikely, but could change in the Summer. Same with Keeley, looking unlikely but conversations continue to happ...

Costing us £100,000 + a year apparently in injuries because the pitch isn't up to standard. We're saving for a new place by the sounds of it!

We'd get half a new team, same as most summers, probably get relegated again. But we'd have a year of genuine sell outs of the ground with the whole West Side being an away end. And the extra cash revenue would be enough to then keep us as a top League 1 side. Maybe we'd then become a bit of a yoyo ...

I'd say Cooper and Forde were ticks. Duke-McKenna looked good until his injury.
Turns was definitely a good one.

Now it is official. Loan to the end of the season.

Still a loan though, hopefully they are paying a percentage of his wage so we can bring it some more cover up front.

He is great, but best ever is really stretching it.

In my lifetime, Lockwood and Daniels are the best I've seen.

1. Heat.

And we beat them 6-1 last time they came down!

Sometimes we get an injury prone player and it works out, more often it doesn't. I'm thinking someone like Smyth had an awful injury record. Then we got a full season out of him and he was the best player in the division. Theo didn't have a great injury record, but we got a couple of brilliant years...

Yeah the pen last night was iffy, he lost control of the ball and flung himself to the ground. But that is what nearly every forward would do so meh.

And he was a major part of our title winning team, so will always like him

Looking at the pen I thought the same as I did last night.

It's a shocker of a decision from the ref. Koroma loses control of the ball and flings himself to the ground, VAR would have given him a yellow.

I would be fuming if it had made any difference to the game...

Has to be Shwan Jalal. Was a Tuesday night and I think he was our 4/5th loan keeper that year. I thought someone from the crowd who had never played the game before had managed to blag their way into our dressing room. There was another keeper around that time that was equally poor (was he an Ex Ma...

- Final position - 7th - Top Scorer - Agyei - MVP - ONeil - Most Improved Player - Sweeney - Biggest Surprise Player - Obiero - Biggest Let Down Player - Theo/Graham, as much as Irate them both very highly, it'll be very hard after such long injuries. Hope I am wrong on both counts. - Bold predictio...

I think this is a pretty downbeat board in general, and I am a bit more optimistic. We have a pretty good starting 11, our keeper has a good reputation (I haven't seen him play yet). We have solid center backs and our front three of Oneil, Agyei and Graham are as good as any I think. We will need to...

WEEEE'VE GOT SUUUUPPPPPEEEER RITCHIE WELLENS!

Yeah, he seems to do ok where ever he goes. I'm more interested in Stevenage, did he think they'd gone as far as they can and that the momentum will start to falter.

Alex Revell in charge for the time being.

He only just signed a new contract as well, not even seeing out the season. Really interesting to see what next for them!

The Court said:

Israel can carry on the war
Hamas should release the hostages

Absolute win for Israel, everything else is spin.

Fair enough. Just hard to judge the discussion without knowing.

But it doesn't seem great from the lines they've quoted!

Does anyone else not have a clue what song that they are talking about?

I met Alberto Cavasin at Holborn station around Midnight back when he was manager. He didn't speak much English but got on an Epping Train whilst I waited for a Hainult one and shouted "Forza Orient" to me as he was getting on.

Seemed like a decent chap.
