Badger

Used to hear this quite regularly in the old East Stand as well from a bloke. Nice old boy, but the games were often played to the sound of him yelling " forward Magilton...." or "not bloody sideways Magilton..." and as the game progressed " oh, Jesus Christ, NO !!" . In a particularly bad season JC was the most often mentioned name you'd hear from him.

Since when did their club's season become the major consideration in how they conduct their antics ?

Starting the season up again is probably the easy bit. Finishing it will prove far more problematic, if not impossible without a major fixture pile up. In the event of one or more clubs having a few players test postive, what happens, do they look to cram four or five fixtures into the last week or so ? At some point the PL might accept the inevitable and admit the season won't finish.

This is the sort of signing our self proclaimed scouting network, recruitment team, and Black Box should have picked up before he left Vitesse. Problem over recent years though is that Saints (or at least Les and the Lesbians) were too busy giving interviews and self-indulging in believing their own hype. We are now linked with names from the Bundesliga that German clubs have brought in for nominal sums. They have 'out-Les'd' Les. Reed and Wilson, What a pair.

Seems to be a required quality in our CB's over the last couple of seasons. Should fit in well.

Unless identity of potential purchaser verified by earlobe scrutiny.

Lovren..... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8284189/Liverpool-star-Dejan-Lovren-outed-coronavirus-conspiracy-theorist-sides-David-Icke.html Perhaps he'll presuade Liverpool to have a turquoise second strip next season.

Milot Rashica of Bremen linked. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-southampton-transfer-battle-bremen- But also linked with Liverpool and Leipzig, so would have thought we'd likely be third choice, although he may of course see us as a stepping stone.

The promotion/relegation issue opens up another mine field probably more difficult to resolve than any other. Don't disagree with you, but can't see it being adopted as it will be subject to a longwinded legal challenge.

Whether there was any substance to the rumour or not I don't know, but it was certainly mooted around January in his second season (2016) following the cup exit. I think a midweek win after the cup defeat set us on a run and by the end of the season all looked rosy. Step forward Les Read.

Has there been any link to him from a 'reliable' media source ? As for Adams I suspect Leeds might be a bit more ambitious in their target once promoted.

Perhaps this should be on a Defector's Wives thread: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11548508/kevin-phillips-wife-arrested-attempted-murder/?utm_medium=browser_notifications&utm_source=pushly She certainly has some form doesn't she ?

I read an interview where it was reported as 'being flattered to be linked with a Bovis development, but would continue to give 110% to producing this years wheat crop as always'.

I heard 'Barry the Briefcase' is fronting their syndicate to buy the club.

Article is prefaced with the introduction: With that sort of stat, you wonder why he hasn't been recruited back into the game, or perhaps he explains this in the interview.

Although we'd be pleased to see Gao sell up, have to wonder if this would be a step forward or not. Anyone know anything about him/them ? If true, that is. SISU MkII.

Straight out of the Ralphspeak. (Krueger that is).

Previously linked with Newcastle. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/11894584/newcastle-joseph-dagrosa-confirms-interest-in-buying-club-but-deal-looks-unlikely Although they don't come out of this article well: https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/17-astonishing-lies-claims-assumptions-gacp-sports-newcastle-united-takeover-brochure-637769

This bloke was linked with buying a football club in the last year or so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Boehly https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/todd-boehly-chelsea-roman-abramovich-16600343 https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/la-dodgers-owner-todd-boehly-makes-a-monstrous-3b-takeover-bid-for-chelsea Probably no one as high profile.

No different to what Gao might achieve if he remains in place.

For a club of our size (provincial club, small ground at The Dell) we've had some incredible players and names playing for us, especially in the Lawrie era, Charlie George (big name on signing), Peter Osgood, Dave Watson, Peter Shilton, and from the 1970's would add Ted MacDougall.

I thought Delap gave some impressive performances when he first joined, certainly surpassed my expectations even though he cost a then astronomical £4m. He simply didn't recover from two broken legs in quick succession, and seemed to go downhill after in his time with us.

Difficult to implement due to cost, and space required. From a practical point of view... just think of the queues to use the bogs. Channeling 32,000 through this system would be chaos.

Birmingham beat Norwich to stay up.

Good website. Excellent work FF.
