Not a bad record in a struggling team.

It was Butterfield with the free kick

Great name.

have to agree, I think it was the 5-1 win against Walsall

And didn't Lew Chatterley take control of one match between Branfoot leaving and Bally coming in ? Port Vale in an FA Cup replay from recollection.

Ditto. Hope Barcelona give them a good stuffing on Saturday.

or better still with conventional stripes on the sleeves.

Look great then if being crucified. Perhaps we should adopt the "Always look on the bright side of life" anthem, or "one slippery runway" if we play mancs in the cup again.

Sleeves are hideous

Local bias perhaps but Friels is a good cider, made in Gloucestershire.

No but I think thats a young Frankie Howard bootom left (looking a little disappointed that the bed bath will not be given by a male nurse.) Titter ye not... Edit : just spotted the matron, Hattie Jacques.

Even more ridiculous, again with the benefit of hindsight, is that the obvious choice to replace him,and an early favourite amongst fans was some up and coming bloke from Bournemouth. The day the sacking was announced he was advertising his interest in the job with "whoever gets that job will be the luckiest man in football ", its a great job, blah,blah. A few weeks later - when realising he was not in the running - he announced his allegiance to AFCB. Just like Eddie did.

Point being though that you don't have to go on to Twitter etc. I was not in the least bit interested in the story this week in the media, and had assumed it was an old story still doing the rounds. The cryptic and not so cryptic clues in the press today though are pretty laughable.

Lets hope they are distracted by their European adventure.

Christ, I'd forgotten the joy around the radio in our kitchen at half time.

1.Ivan Golac - no one else comes close. 2.Antti Niemi 3. Marian Pahars Assuming MLT is not considered an import.

Agreed. I really thought - at the time - that Saints under Nicholl were stagnating,and he showed insufficient drive or motivational skills. Had I known what was round the corner I'd have settled for a few more seasons of Nicholl's mediocrity than what followed. The worst part of CN going though was put to me by someone at the time as Saints (having now sacked a manager ) "had let the genie out of the bottle" and hoped we would not become like every other club sacking managers every five minutes. Prophetic words. In hindsight though CN's years were not that bad,he brought in a number of young players from Merrington's youth team and signed Flowers and Ruddock , and that autumn when we beat Liverpool 4-1 is a great memory. Little surprised that Nicholl did not make too much of a career after Saints.

If true, then its a great shame, and double disappointment if he has signed for manU. If it is the case then lets hope NC has tied up a mega deal, and we spend it wisely. As others suggest thenPilkington would soften the blow (when he's fit again).
