    OK it is a conspiracy. <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh> Let's apply to join the Scottish League. BBC Scotland seem to even report on Berwick. And at least that would keep a couple of members here very happy :emoticon-0105-wink:

    C'mon guys be fair, I just watched MOTD and we got a mention right at the start, "Manc put 6 past us". Slightly annoyed when they introduced the match just after ours when they said it was between 2 teams (Hudd/Burn) that wern't expected to do well this season. If we keep playing and winning they might take notice.
    Crummy stadium, really (I think you were joking), compared to Bounemouths shed! Remember what it looked like 5 years ago and when I see it now I have to blink twice.

    Yes, JT Bodbo was saying to the pundits’ self-inflated importance we have a crummy stadium. We know the changes made there are incredible and we’re all very proud of the Vic now.

    I'm not too sure that the loan rules would allow us to accept any such offer anyway - but, hey, if the big clubs want to throw money at us...

    They did give praise to Southampton for their business model - the exact same model that we use.

    MOTD2 just discussed us at a reasonable length AND gave praise! Credit where it’s due!

    I always thought he was a decent player, but great credit to our current. Oaching staff for getting him up to this level. Perhaps the best news so far this season that we have decent talent and coaches who. Anger the. Eat out of them.

    See my post no 75.

    "Outstanding performance from Mapps today. He did very well in the air throughout and he really put his body in to stop a shot from 4 yards out."

    Spurs and Watford have both won first 3 away yet won none of first 3 at home.. Last team to do that in top flight? Derby, 1912-13.

    I bet not a lot knew that. Thanks to The Times.

    And the race to see who can be the first to extend it to four is on on Saturday. Unfortunately, Spurs have the advantage, having a 12:30 kick-off at Huddersfield.

    I feel the same & I wrote it. Bl**dy spellchecker on mobile phone changes perfectly good text sometimes by ignoring half a word then attaching one's own text to its own-ENIGMA was easier to decode.
    Anyway what I beans was that the coaching staff seem to be raising the standard of our players e.g. Mariappa and this can only be a good thing-and an improvement on last year!
