Which one is Weller ?

The Essex - A Walking Miracle

Alvin Robinson - Down Home Girl

John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers - Driving Sideways

He’s wasted playing where he does at the moment. I suppose it’s just part of the learning curve.

Cheap shite. I wouldn’t be seen dead in anything out of M&S.

The chairman of Grimsby Town writes interesting articles for my paper ( The Guardian ) quite often. Today he writes a very interesting article about the selection process for a new manager. He stresses the need for forward planning. Not something that seems to much in evidence at Ewood Park these days.

One of the best I ever saw was Ricky Holden at Oldham and City. I swear I could run faster but all he needed was a little jink to buy him half a yard and he’d whip in a great cross. A left footer playing on the left wing. No way would Mowbray and most modern coaches play him there. Talking Rovers players, Mike Harrison could put over a bullet of a cross without breaking his stride whilst running at top speed. Not something you see much these days. The speed of the cross is important as well, whipped in, it cuts down defenders reaction time.

Heavy rain here in Rochdale. Their game with Gateshead has just been callled off.

My wife has always done English GCSE exam marking. Years ago the subject you had to write about was “ An important decision you had to make “. One of the papers she marked was from a player who was an England schoolboy international on Preston’s books and his agent was agitating for him to move to London and sign for Spurs. That was the decision he had to make. The lad was still at school and he already had an agent ! The lad decided to stay at Preston and he went on to have a long career in pro football without ever reaching the highest level. I’ll bet he’s very wealthy now.

Just proving balls whipped in from out wide near the bye line are hard to defend against. Plus you only need to get half a yard on the full back to get a cross in.

Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World

It’s not like they’re short of wingers though is it. In some ways that’s part of their problem.

Roy C - Shotgun Wedding

The Clovers - Love Potion Number Nine

I don’t think I could name one of their current team. However I could name their 1960 Cup Final side that played Rovers at Wembley!

Scott English - Brandy

The Temptations - Just My Imagination ( Running Away With Me )

When have the Chicken Chokers ever given a rats arse about what the fans want ?

A zombie club and that’s what we’ve been since the Chicken Chokers bought us.

Luton unlucky there.

I think Sheff U will have dropped a bollock if they appoint Wilder again. Yesterday’s man.

Happy to keep it at 1-0.

You mean 5 minutes ?

One for the old timers - Chris Crowe. Bought as a replacement for Roy Vernon. Not fit to lace his boots unfortunately. We sold him at a loss to Wolves and he ended up getting an England cap !
