    ... oh no Mick, I'm sure that interview, full of charm, charisma, wit and passion will have added a least a couple of thousand to the gate on Saturday without any ridiculous promises of entertaining football ... I can only speak for me, but taking a few moments out of my stressful working day to read the manager's speech on my club's own website filled me with such joy and passion that I returned to my job re-energised and inspired... Chuchill, Mourinho, Mel Gibson in Braveheart, Aragorn before the gates of Mordor ... you boys took one hell of a beating.

    Surprised you did'nt add Holloway to that list he had all that charisma you crave mate......errr can't quite remember where we ended up, now let me think...... oh yes League fookin 1 & I seem to vaguely recall who got us out of there at the very 1st attempt, was it Mr Nigel Pearson ? I'm sure it was lol !
    Fossey, you might wish to give more thought to your football result predictions rather than our current Managers persona... All the best mate.

    Would that be the second time in the premiership in 5 years with two unfashionable clubs Holloway? ... doubt he would have brough us straight back from League 1 tho' <doh> ... and the tide has already turned on the predictions, I'm aiming for a top four finish <laugh>

    Thing is Mick the game on Saturday is quite a poignant fixture for me - my first trip to Filbert Street was asa nine year old boy for the opening game of the 1969/70 season against Birmingham. We had been relegated the season before after losing the Cup final to Man City which meant a few season tickets became available - my Dad, a life long City fan thought it was the right time to start my 'education' so he got hold of a couple of season tickets in the old double decker. I still remember going to collect the tickets a couple of weeks before the start of the a season - the ticket office let us go upstairs to our seats - walking trough the gateway from the concourse and seeing the pitch with its goals bathed in the sunshine was magical - a lasting memory. There were 32,000 in Filbert Street for the match it was a riot of noise.

    On Saturday I expect us to get around 10,000 less with loads of plastic seats showing - which i find incredibly sad. What's more, if Nigel is going to kepp serving the same fare as in the Leeds game then the gates will only go one way. Has to improve and instead of boring the **** of us all with his comments on 'shape' and 'conformations' he should be promising us that we'll be going at the opposition and looking for goals - that interview was not really worth the effort.

    In my opinion Fosse, there is just so much money in football these days, and thus so much pressure, it is becoming more and more about results rather than entertainment. Which, of course, is a crying shame.

    Cardiff and Hull went up without ever really setting the world alight (though I would argue neither side served up that dross we called football last weekend!).

    Managers' press releases are just so unexciting. I wish they could just filter out all the crap and just put the genuinely interesting stuff up.

    Frankly I'd rather he'd not bothered at all than come out with that meaningless pile of .... mind you if you've ever seen Monty Python's Life Of Brian it becomes obvious that he bases his public speaking technique on Michael Palin's prophet character from that film:

    "And there shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, and there will be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia-work base, that has an attachment &#8212; they will not be there. At this time a friend shall lose his friends's hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before ... "
