    I never knew SKY gave away free tickets to Championship games?!

    Well, I've just got myself 2 tickets to Watford vs Forest (3rd vs 2nd) next Tuesday, at no cost. Can tie in nicely with a trip home.

    Neil Lennon has revealed that he applied for the vacant Saints job this summer, but was overlooked and not contacted by Les Reed.

    I'm sure he'll be a fine manager for Bolton, but Saints were looking for continuity. That means a certain type of manager. We could have turned down van Gaal, for instance.

    Not sure I like this business of announcing a short list. They may have a shortlist, but I think it's disrespectful to the losing candidates to announce it publically...not even sure it's that respectful to the one you eventually select either. Isn't it better to say that there were many excellent candidates, but once you interviewed 'X' you knew he was the right man for the job (even if untrue).

    Millwall to wear one-off kit against Brentford to mark 100 years since the First World War.

    All proceeds from the game, and kit sales, to go to Headley Court Military Rehabilitation Centre.

    Bradley Wright-Philips has scored 25 goals in 30 games in MLS for New York Red Bulls. Decided to put it here as MLS nearer FL than PL :)

    Not turned out badly for Bradley...no more than an okay player, he now lives in New York, on good wages, and no doubt enjoying his football.

    On Le Tiss's twitter there was a tweet asking whether the ex-Saints regretted leaving, and Le Tiss mentioned that Forte obviously didn't. :)

    Fulham 2-0 Charlton after 12 minutes. Kit Simons looks a good bet for the job.
