Does he still intend to appoint an assistant manager? (serious) or is he blown away by Billy Q (only joking ;-)

Since leaving us he's only made 9 league appearances scoring 2 goals for Bristol Rovers. He signed for Stevenage in May and is set to start against us next Saturday. Could he make mincemeat out of our CH pairing? A match up with JYM wouldn't have worried me but with two from Tarky / Mellor / Byrne I'm not so sure!

Lee Johnson, cool, jovial but assertive. Paul Murray, looking every bit LJ's assistant. Bobby Mimms, Oxley's Guardian and LJ's tweeter. John Guy, fortunately nothing to do today despite a couple of brief concerns. Billy Quarmby, "Sidney, warm up please" ....he's now dressed like the rest of these guys and had an A4 writing pad in his hand. Has he been formally promoted to the back room staff or has his 'work experience' been cranked up another notch?

That ex copper Peter Willis in our old div 2 days.

A chicken Currie

Logical move. He replaces Chris Taylor, which begs the question - who is the better player?

Rochdale v Hartlepool.....so that should mean we've got an away fixture.

Don't rule out Middlesborough.

He looks like Craig Agbonlahor-Davies.

No, she had brown hair, striking similarities to Janice, thought she could be her daughter.

I renewed 4 in the Chaddy today for 3 adults and my 6 yr old. Received carefully selected adult discount vouchers for the new home shirt numbered 259 -261 and my boy's was numbered 29. Rebekah was very efficient in dealing with this. Proceeded to club shop and pre ordered my boy's shirt @ 11.46am. Therefore i'd have an educated guess that we had sold approximately 300 season tickets by lunchtime today, (not sure if this includes Senior Citizens or over 12's) and approximately 50 pre ordered home shirts were on the list in the shop. I was served by a very pleasant lady named Michelle. Both Billy (smiling happily) and Janice made fleeting appearances ( about 1 minute apart) between the two internal doors in the shop and both seemed quite relaxed! Overall, very satisfied with today's trip to BP!

You'd think the Nevilles would do something to help Bury out wouldn't you?

I like Cliff Byrne' s work with the team from the touchline....

Or if you're offering Bury's, i'd take ours even if I'd have to eat 3 black puddings every other Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from Aug to April ( I mean the fatty ones with a touch of English mustard).

Ghost, I'm with you, the links my wife and I have with both families are deep rooted through school, work, church and family friendships. Thanks for your reply - I will share with them when the time is right........ Regards.

If only Corney ( on Dowie's behalf ) or Dowie himself would officially rule himself out then we could all 100% move on from hoping for the appointment of the favoured one....... The fact that neither one has, would suggest there's some truth in the rumours but the longer it drags on, the more to the detriment of everyone associated with the football club. As a result of dragging this on, the unthinkable becomes more likely and consequently imo the Dowie appointment becomes more and more less likely. We were rudderless both on and off the pitch today and if we don't have a new manager in place before Tuesday's game then for me, we are league 1 history.

How can you expect to be left alone when you come out with statements like this but can't substantiate them?

How do you feel after today?

It was just a suggestion rather than a statement of fact.... Thus the ? at the end of the sentence.

That by the end of this week he will have fulfilled his short term commitments to Sky so as not to be in breach of contract?

Surely TP and Byrney should be Phizza and Byzza?

Come on matty4oafc, give us a break, I'm trying to enjoy MOTD!
