As I took my position in the Springfield Stand prior to the game against Liverpool last night, I could not believe my eyes. There right in front of me were the entire Liverpool team blatantly supporting one of their own players who has been found guilty by the FA of hurling at least one racist […]
Probably / possibly we will be playing at The County Ground on Saturday 7th January 2012 with a 3pm kick-off. Swindon Town are aiming to reach the fourth round stage for the first time since 1996 after an […]
I reckon the power brokers in all our British clubs should pack in all this modern namby pamby training, diet and non-alcoholic methods and let the players have a few pies & a beer on a regular basis, you do wonder if all this attention to minute detail on players lifestyle is […]
I really don’t want to talk about it. I’m quite happy to do so but the problem is that I’ll end up repeating what I’ve said many times before.

Good performances eventually yield good results, that’s the theory anyway. This was very much the point Roberto Martinez was making at the end of last season and referred to the draws against Villa, Spurs and Everton in the latter months of the season.
(and I feel fine) That’s great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane And Lenny Bruce is not afraid… That’s not to say that today’s big “news” story is an earthquake, nor is it the end of any particular world that we’re part of, much more likely that it’s the misplaced rambling […]
