Perhaps it went out of the window with the realisation over the last decade that you need someone competent to make the right appointment and then support him.

From the Guardian article : Anyone know this chap,is he a member of the Italian Saints ? One other thing which I recall reading about NC when he arrived was that he was an Inter supporter.

Not going to happen in my view.

Good news indeed.

Letter to the club required. Or a massive campaign.

Does Graham Poll's count ?

Really ? I lived near Reading when that was built and even spent a summer job as a student working on the building site.First year it was really operational was 1980. As for Burley,I expect Reading will be forced into offering it their caretaker - big mistake probably - and end up sacking him in 6-9 months.

West Brom away in the 5th Round might be a good omen.

Quite an admission : Have to have some sympathy with this view though: ..although the last paragraph is amusing. Same bloke : AGAIN ?

A 1960's revival ?

Fialka's sister - who we were once told lives in Skatesmouth - launches a bid to buy them.News breaks in The Jewish Chronicle first. Terry Venables then launches a legal battle to prove he is still the real legal owner of PFC having once bought them for a £1.

Surprised they don't feature more pictures of John Pondsmouth Football Club Westw^nk on their site really,especially in view of his universal "celebraty" status.

Taken off the Facebook link: Good to see the standard of literacy in skatesmouth is improving.

Inciting hatred of a gypo or pikey might be.

Al Pardew's St Valentines Day Massacre. I feel a T-shirt coming on.... Actually it would be good to beat the skates before the f^ckers go out of business altogether

Perhaps Walkers will use some old footage of Len Fairclough (Peter Adamson) with Gary in their next campaign then....

Good post by the QPR fan. I hate that John Motson is portrayed as ' Genial John' ,everyone's favourite uncle figure on BBC yet he is a miserable old c^nt when kids approach him for autographs (and possibly a sheepskin wearing trouser fumbler) in real life, Man U...just hate them,their plastic fans and the salivating arselicking media coverage..and anyone playing for them now,and for evermore... (ditto Everton) none too fond of the Yids (the white hart lane variety) either. Also: Cup draws that have been prostituted for the benefit of ITV Making celebrities out of second rate players as analysts ..(clue there) such as Brazil and Townsend Token ethnics such as Crooks and Earle who would not be there in the first place but for... Christ the list is endless.... (oh and the Redknob and the skates...of course)

Dean Moxey looked a promising player at Exeter before his move.

Never particularly liked Ipswich but am now fairly indifferent to them as a club.Thoroughly detest Keane though, an utter 'dog turd'. As for Stern John I've no reason to boo the bloke at all.A saviour in the first season and after his treatment the folowing year can't blame him for wanting a fresh start elsewhere.

Straight off the Echo report c24 hours later then.

Seems a bit too remote a link there,showing your soles to insult arabs. Sure it was not more like a group of saps copying Luton ? That would have involved showing their 'r.soles' rather than anything to do with shoes.

Just read about this and the development of the Chantry Hall site a bit more: http://www.southamptonice.co.uk/index.php?p=1_4_Recent-Site-history There was a fire on the site prior to development.That does seem a remarkable stroke of bad luck. Actually I recall walking past there on the opening of St Marys and being intrigued by the Southampton crest as seen from a distance in the photos.Great shame that building could not have been preserved. But I'm all for an ice rink again.

Wear the 'lucky underpants'. Well that was in the cup run of 1976.Sadly they became threadbare, and also I grew out of them. Just have not found another pair in the last 34 years.

Agreed he is a knob. But why is he talking to the press etc ? What is the charlatan Incey-wincey up to these days ? Perhaps he did not make it to the match as he was previously booked as part of a Kid Creole tribute band.

OK I give up. Is one of them Antonio ?
