For 10 years we've been carrying players with contracts given for pjaying in our previous higher division. For the first time in many a year we have scope to increase our paybill to the level we can afford in Div 1 - whatever that is.

Flanagan went to Bolton School and worked on the Lancashire Telegraph.

There's a role for Gilks, Baptiste and Doyle next year, but these 3 positions we should be looking upwards for. Plenty of clubs above us will still be having cash flow problems and be shedding quality Div 1 level players. Happy to pick up good young guns from League 2 and below though.

Very sad, what a waste, so young. Walker Avenue was always posh to me (it was relative). Gran lived round the corner on Rishton Lane and my mate in Hampton Road. Last time I was down there Walkers Institute were still playing football and cricket there.

Shirt, stadium or club investment?

For the best but must be shit living in a hotel room on Middlebrook during lockdown. Kioso had similar issues with it as I recall. Many would have buckled down and got on with it, but we're all different.

Ifollow cameraman zooming in on the stand roof, doesn’t augur well for match pictures. Also match overlay says we’re at the City of Cardiff stadium. Quality.

Apparently only Premier League side he hasn't scored against.

Gutted. RIP Frank. Never forgotten. Responsible for 3 of my top 10 Wanderers moments. That Goal v Ipswich The brace in our win at Old Trafford in 1979 The Goal at Blackburn in 1978 Privileged to have witnessed them all.

Just got jabbed at the Etihad this morning. National booking system only let me in on Monday evening (in 60-65 group no underlying health conditions). Could have gone y’day but working, Unibol first available appt was 8/3. Etihad was on an industrial scale but not busy. Appt was 1130, rocked up at 1105 and was back in car done at 1115.

Games coming thick and fast at the moment. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Lee rested either tonight or Saturday. MM not playing 90 mins twice a week either.
