English Football

Was just missing the glamour of League Two, so had a look at the table. What on earth are Mansfield doing? Down in the relegation zone and without a win since about 1982. Are they missing their annual jollies to Meadow Lane? I thought they might be onto something with a seasoned manager like Nigel Clough, but instead they're doing a passable impression of us. What's going on?

And so it begins, who had 7 games into the season for the first manager to be sacked? Well two managers have gone in the same day. Harry Kewell leaves Barnet second from bottom with 2 points and 0 wins. Danny Searle leaves Aldershot third from bottom with 4 points and 1 win. I'm more shocked with the Aldershot one, they played well against us and the teams before us by all accounts. They've just won and draw as well so I feel they would've gradually been on the way up. And they've played us, Chesterfield, Boreham Wood, Yeovil and Solihull - all teams in the top 10. Not an easy start at all. I think they've made a big mistake there. As for the sacking of H…

Strange, angry interview. Obviously haven't seen the game, but anybody that has watched Elliott Hewitt play at RB will know he is absolutely terrible in that position (granted he's not anything special at the other positions either). Says more about the manager for A: signing Hewitt and B: playing him at RB.

Roman Glass St George Football Club, a name I have not come across before! But which team which has played in the top division (Division 1 in old money) started their FA Cup campaign today? (probably too easy a question but hey)

There are five teams that seem to be fancied for promotion, those being us, Wrexham, Southend, Chestefield, and Grimsby. Wrexham I think will be the favourites but I could see them struggling at first. I expect Chesterfield to be a stronger outfit, they have turned a corner and should do well IMO. What are your thoughts on the promotion contenders for this season?

Quigley has signed for Stockport from Barrow. Managed 15 goals in a poor Barrow side last season in L2. Stockport now have Rooney, Reid, Madden and Quigley. That's a team with goals from anywhere.

Was always the stand out player v Notts

If this is true, then does mean Wootton would be sold?
