    I came across this little tale about football club chairmen and the fact that they can be out of their depth.

    This surely apocryphal story about Seth Johnson's contract: The distinctly average Leeds midfielder was told by his agent to hold out for £13,000 a week as he entered negotiations for a new deal, Ridsdale's opening offer was £30,000. When Johnson and his agent were stunned into silence Ridsdale's response was: "okay, £35,000".

    Funnily enough it was Prescot, a much nicer person behind doors I have been told.

    Gavin Massey
    2 2 with southampton reserves! Good to get off the mark and score both goals today.

    Did you realise dyslexia is an anagram of daily sex? Maybe therein lies a helpful remedy.

    eye the Brighton fans our going to watch Plymouth's home game on the 24th September wearing their club colours supporting them and thinking of having a green day for when their home game with Leeds is televised to get more publicity


    Nice idea

    Sandy, i don't know if you're on iphone or android but there's an update on the android app and a new button which, when in a thread, can take you to the unread part of the thread, ie: the end. I've also noticed blue dots but i have no idea what they mean! lol. It does mean that now you can go to the end of the Nest without scrolling through the whole thing and i assume that if it's on the Android app, it'll make it's way to the iphone app too.
