This was the same time we brought in a number of players who were from the Jewish faith. I've no issues with any players faith if they are good enough but I'm not sure it should've dictated our transfer policy as it appeared to during Penney's stint.

I thought it was Dickov who signed Rabbi Simpson.

Does obesity count as an injury?

It ended my career, sadly.

Plummer is still on the books at City at the age of 22.  It must be some box ticking exercise for the 'home-grown' contingent.

Most weekends I'm somewhere in Switzerland or Germany watching FC Zurich or Hertha BSC and if I have the choice I always stand, on terracing.  Rail seats are unnecessary, unpopular and more uncommon than I think many people in England imagine.  Yes to terracing, no to this nonsense.

Following last night, Sheridan could lose every one of the next 11 and would still end up with a better points per game record this season than Robinson managed.

I had us staying up on goal difference. Wish I'd not done it now. Won't sleep tonight.

 

I love it when we score a really early goal, after a minute or so. We usually go on to win comfortably when that happens.

And thanks for the reminder JSS - I had remembered Cylde's early goal but somehow thought that had been part of a 1-0 against them so presumed it was a different match/season/competition. Crap memory!

Time flies. What a season that was. I remember that early win at Peterborough with the on loan Lourenco involved and a Killen winner setting us on our way after the opening day defeat against Cardiff. Equally clear in my mind are the wins over Stockport (when Beckett hardly got a sniff all afternoon for them), West Ham (of course) and the win at Northampton (Waaaynoooo). But I have no memory whatsoever of ever beating Huddersfield 4-0 at home. I must have been absolutely bladdered.

Les made some fantastic saves in his time with us but his kicking was generally woeful. I used to dread him having the ball at his feet. In fairness he clearly worked very hard on it and beat himself up as much as the Chaddy End did when he messed up, but I suspect it held his career back a bit.

Dunn has been promoted to First Team Coach.

Wasn't the clipboard the problem?

The official says he won player of the year in 14/15 - is that true? I always thought he was a talented player, but that surprised me!

Re: O'Driscoll (sorry can't quote above post for some reason), for what it's worth the recently updated backroom staff photos and list of club staff (Contact Us section) on the website don't include him in any capacity.

Connor Brown gone - mutually terminated.

Gary Harkins joins Ayr United (Scottish second tier) as player-coach.

In fact, since it's been turf.

I'm guessing Barraclough and Turnbull worked together at Scunthorpe.

It's amazing to observe what becomes fact on these pages.

It's not undisclosed. Go on their website. It tells you what the deal is.

You can find details on Tesco's corporate website. Pretty transparent.

1998 to 2009 spanned the period that I was 11-22 years old. I could have gone off and found other things to waste money and weekends on but John Sheridan kept me going to Latics after initially being dragged along by my dad in what were headier days in the top 2 divisions.

Firstly, after Ritchie became manager and inherited a pretty weak hand and an unambitious board, Sheridan's impact on improving that team and giving us hope of survival (or a third relegation inside half a decade) was immense - and we survived.

In 2003, when everyone else had walked, he didn't have to come out of retirement, but he did and he gave us hope, leadership and quality - and we survived

In January, again, very little hope remained, when who stepped in and turned it around? That man again. And we survived.

For me he's in a class of his own and I'll be forever grateful for what he's done for my club. Thanks John.

Fylde's new main stand bears a striking resemblance to the North Stand at BP and Tom will be disappointed to learn it's a fair way inland.

After seeing Richardson for the first time I thought we were going straight back up. 22 years and still waiting for that promotion.

Anybody frequenting Costa Coffee outlets along the M62 corridor/M61, please keep your eyes peeled for latest developments.

Honestly?
