Just want to wish Mad Dog the very best of luck back at Barnet and hope promotion awaits once again at the end of the season. Thanks for everything you did for the Gills Martin - always assured of a warm welcome at the Priestfield.

Please God a manager who wants us to play football through, rather than over, midfield. Would love Cloughie but let's face it, that's not going to happen. Someone with Martin Allen's Charisma and (don't shoot me) Mark Stimson's belief in the passing game. Would rather go down passing than...

Was actually thinking the same myself, the difference though is that I felt the side Sir Tony left us with was stronger and just needed tinkering in order to get us up. Remember Tony's side were very, very unlucky against City back in 99 and probably deserved to go up whereas this side, even...

I am desperately sad for Mad Dog and hoped he'd finally found a club where he could settle down and become something more than an impact manager. Media savvy and great with us supporters, he raised the profile of the club and delivered the Title after a couple of years of underachievement. I...

5th - I expect good loan players will come in to bolster the squad

I never thought anyone could replace Tony Pulis until Mad Dog came along. We had a good squad last season but I think we became Champions as much by the force of his desire and personality as anything else. The article is testament to his desire to improve and succeed which is exactly what he...

You've got to hand it to everyone at the club - we are streets ahead in our thinking, planning and preparation for the new season. The long running saga with the manager, the lack of action in the transfer market as a result, racisim claims in court, the debacle with the training ground -...

Assuming we had a manager, how would everyone feel about bringing McLeod to the Priestfield? Can't argue with his goal scoring record but could we ever see past 'that tackle'?

Would be so sad to see Simon leave, whether he can play week in and week out or not his value would be in bringing on Connor Essam and the other youngsters. We just seem so much calmer at the back with Kingy there than with Framps. I suppose it will come down to how much he will cost us but if...

I would love to see Micky Adams at the helm. Steve Bruce wouldn't come near the place I doubt he gets out of bed for less than our annual turnover and, although a very mediocre manager, would think league 2 beneath him. If not Adams, Lee Clarke would certainly get us going. Whoever, please God...

Thanks gfckukey - that's the picture I was trying to upload.

Been doing some research into our 'Argentinian Monster'. If you google Argentinian Monster you will find that he apparently used to live in a lake before making the move to the Gills. This is a photo from a recent sighting. In Argentina his existence is actually hotly disputed (a bit like our...

Agree all the way, we have good reason to be positive and although all the new signings will take time to bed down as a team, this is a very srong squad. Last year I believe that we over achieved given the squad we had - the season only really got going when Whelpdale and Lee arrived. We carried...

Jake Cole, Ross Flitney or 'Argentinian Monster' let's all be thankful we're not still lumbered with the 'Tangerine Dream'! I'm looking foward to a season when our boys at the back don't look scared to death wondering what is going on behind them. Even if the Argentinain Monster speaks not a...

Take a bow Andy Hessenthaler! This was a magnificent victory for him as a manger! It must have taken real guts to make the changes he did but right from the start, the team looked solid and, no disrespect to the superb Matt Lawrence, wasn't it great to see King and Richards reunited? All that...
