Watched Jamie Cureton playing for Farnborough yesterday.
Are you there often? Just up the road from us. I go a few times/season...usually when a trip to Swindon isn't practical. |

Yes yes, but there isn't an ex-managers thread. Missed this yesterday http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37369011Paolo di Canio has been suspended from his role as a Sky Italia pundit after showing on air a tattoo referring to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
The ex-West Ham striker revealed his tattoo of the word "dux" during their Premier League coverage on Sunday, prompting a protest on social media.
The Latin word is the origin of the Italian "duce" meaning leader - Il Duce was the title adopted by Mussolini.
"We made a mistake, we are sorry to all who were hurt," said a Sky executive.
Jacques Raynaud, Sky Sports executive vice-president, continued: "After speaking at length to Di Canio, and despite his professionalism and his expertise regarding football, we have decided together to suspend the partnership."
Former West Ham striker Di Canio has previously been criticised for his political views and refused to address his reported beliefs when he was appointed Sunderland manager in 2013.
He was fined by Italian club Lazio for making the fascist salute for the third time in a year during the 2005 derby with AS Roma.
Mussolini was the fascist dictator of Italy for 20 years until 1943, and was summarily executed in 1945 when he was captured by Italian communists while attempting to flee the country.

Charlie just scored what I suspect is his first European goal.

Whoever commentates on Leicester for the BBC drives me fucking insane. Last night it took 5 minutes for him to start on the fucking 'fairytale' bollocks again. He sounds like he's come everytime Vardy touches the ball.

I'd rather have Austin up front than Vardy. Vardy's game is mostly is the ball over the top of the defender.

Exactly. Thing is, twat features who was commentated wanked himself into a frenzy saying about goal of the month and what a team goal that was on MOTD the other week. One long ball over the top and a decent finish but that was all. |

Rather have Vardy up front for England than Sterling anywhere near the team..
Vardy is a typical up and at em forward.....let's forget trying to imitate far superior technical play and play the English way.

Looks like Louis had a much better evening than his big brother then. Good to see him getting a glimmer of a chance at Norwich finally. Hope he grabs it.

Flint scored a tap in against 10 man Fulham yesterday who were already losing 3-0. He celebrated like he'd just won the league singlehandedly
