Had a feeling that would appear here. I'm a complete fucking idiot and yet I still manage to buy a ticket whenever I travel by train. We are a joke.

Jackie Mac is apparently "considering his position". It could now hardly be clearer that it hasn't worked.

Mansfield Town's "One Call girls" made it into this week's Private Eye.

We just about deserved a draw based on the 2nd half, but could easily have been a couple down at the break. Didn't see the red card incident properly but Tranmere were certainly very physical and into winding up the opposition. We were mostly on top after the red card but despite various...

Yeah, I see you're on a kind of mini-run of poor form and we've started OK at home, but as said elsewhere I think the only really decent-looking team we've actually beaten was Macc and that was a bit of a comedy lower-league goal for 1-0. You don't seem overly enamoured by Brabin's tactical...

I just can't see us beating Tranmere, but a draw is conceivable. If we start like we have been doing, we'll be two down before we wake up.

Fenwick has been astoundingly poor to be honest. Offers almost nothing and is behind a half-fit Richard Brodie in the pecking order. I don't think it helps that we often try to play him up front on his own which I don't think suits his game at all. Scored a decent goal against a wretched and...

While we are unbeaten at home, the only side we've played that looked half decent was Macclesfield. We have some key players out and no-one on our forum seems to think we're getting anything on Tuesday night. We've also got a grand total of one point away, which suggests that we just aren't very...

Clearly we're absolutely massive, but equally clearly it means nowt. We're bound to get turned over by some part-time outfit at some point, that's just the nature of the division. We've already lost 6-1 at Gateshead and it's hard to think of a worse result in our history. I'll be spending most...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Iceland chant was brought to Iceland by Motherwell fans who were there for some European match or other.

Considering a trip to Knaresborough Town tomorrow, they're playing Silsden. The main attraction is of course the chance to drink beer in Knaresborough before / after the match.

Reading scouts were at our game on Saturday, supposedly to watch Aidan Connolly. Since he scored two and got an assist, he wouldn't have done his prospects any harm. Clearly far too good for this league so he'll surely be off at some point.

Justin Johnson signs for us on a season-long loan from, you've guessed it, Dundee United. Meanwhile our semi-talented wastrel of a striker, Reece Thompson, has gone to North Ferriby on a permanent deal. He'll most likely start knocking them in for fun now, and will certainly score against us...

You realise that you're putting York down for an away win when the last one we had was last September? All bad runs end eventually of course, but I can't see us coming away from Barrow with 3 points.

Solihull Moors (H) - Win Torquay United (A) - Draw Tranmere Rovers (H) - Lose Dover Athletic (H) - Win Barrow (A) - Lose Would put us on 15 points after 12 games, which is probably just enough for McNamara to keep his job. Some theoretically easier games coming up in October. But still no away...

8 points out of 21 is clearly nowhere near good enough for our chairman's stated aim of top 5. There are some encouraging signs, but plenty of discouraging ones too and we're going to need to pick it up soon to have any chance of getting where we want to be. We now have Solihull (H), Torquay (A)...

I don't boo my own team and that's the end of it, and God knows I might have been forgiven for booing on several occasions the last few seasons. If I can't think of anything encouraging to say then I just keep my gob shut. I'm there to get behind them, and if sometimes there's not a lot to get...

The plot thickens, as we've just signed Kyle Letheren from Blackpool.

If we don't get three points at home to Woking, I'll start to seriously worry. But of course all bad runs end eventually, unless they're ours. Flinders out as you may have seen elsewhere, but in all probability he'd have remained dropped in any case. We'll beat Woking 2-0 and then scrape a...

Nah, he left ages ago. Ended up playing most weeks for Accrington last season before getting dropped. I believe he's now playing back in Ireland but can't recall where. Flinders had actually been dropped after the horror show at Heed, with Simpson apparently playing well against FGR. We've no...
