    They are excellent at that level. Which is why we bought them several years ago.

    Reading drawing now, as are Pompey. Bournemouth miss a penalty to go 5-0. I don't think Huddersfield are outrightly bad, just that Cherries are that good. Great result for Eastleigh.

    Bournemouth are wicked, but I wish Rantie would do more for them. He's like their Mayuka.

    Just seen Eastleigh second in the Conference table. Just looks so odd, but thoroughly well deserved. I would love it if they got promoted. Not 100% sure they could cope as a club though, getting success that quickly. They'd have to start developing the Silverlake stadium.

    Ian Holloway has spent 20 minutes hammering the Millwall supporters who were chanting about Jimmy Savile today.

    We should sign that McGoldrick chap. He seems good.

    Over the past ten years, only seven have returned at the first time of asking. Five automatically (none since 2009-10) and two via the play-offs.

    But that said, those 30 sides haven't come down with the sort of parachute payments that Fulham, Cardiff and Norwich have come down with.

    Fulham bring on a 17 and 19 year old to add to their very young team. I can see them finishing just midtable.

    Was watching a report about Blackpool and I think we all know by now that they had only 8 players in their squad three weeks ago. Today they fielded a full team but only 4 subs.
    What you may not know is that this is their final year of parachute payments from the PL and they have pocketed £32M thus far from that one season experience. One definitely wonders where it has all gone, when you consider that they were unable to finance a pre-season tour, so they went to Wales with those 8 players. Their main shareholder, a Latvian multi-millionaire has demanded investment from the Chairman, or to buy him out. It's a ridiculous situation. There is living within one's means and then there is being positively misery at the expense of potential success.

    Apparently Oysten gave his dad a 11m loan for his company and claimed it was to help Blackpool or something.
