    On a lighter note…

    EDIT: Yes, this is probably not safe for work. Should probably have thought of this earlier. Apologies to anyone it may have caused problems for

    That wasn't what I was expecting.

    EDIT: I should point out that one or two sensitive souls may prefer not to view Puck's link. Just a little warning.

    Yes, maybe should be enclosed in the [NSFW] brackets?

    The Club is a shambles. From what I've heard the consortium who were going to bail them out wanted to see up to date accounts but couldn't as they were on a memory stick with the accountant in spain!

    Something very dodgy has gone on and people have been lining their pockets with cash.

    How does a club of that size go from earning 100K in 2012 to owing 200K today..? Ridiculous.

    I'd heard whisperings that they were struggling a while back, a re-distribution of wealth within the Football League structure is a very pressing issue for me.

    I'm not surprised really. It's like the top, so many teams pay out on wages they haven't got, or against a short term sponsorship deal that is shorter than the player's contracts.

    Not sure how shocking it is, he was a very large man, the heart can only take so much. But sad none-the-less. The Sopranos is my favourite ever series. RIP James Gandolfini.

    WARNING NSFW BAD LANGUAGE!

    Yeah I knew they were struggling, but to go from there to just about to disappear is a big surprise to me. Doesn't seem like any sensible person could be persuaded to invest their money. That new ground seems so ludicrous now.

    Linden Homes built the new ground for them so they could build on the old ground. They also paid for a lot of utility costs for the first year or so. This meant that the clubs overheads weren't that high so people really want to know what happened to the money.

    Nearly caught up with Game of Thrones, I think Daenerys Targaryen is my ideal woman. What a powerful, dominant lady she is.

    Blimey, when did Beattie get the Accrington job? I must have been in a time trap.
