No offence taken, Phillip. Unless we get some loanees in quickly we've had it. We're shipping in far too many goals and soft ones at that. The biggest problem is our lack of experience in the squad - with a few exceptions we have a very young side and they've clearly become disheartened in recent weeks.

Apparently we actually played quite well at Wolves yesterday and hit the woodwork twice but it's no good unless the team can concentrate for 90 minutes and stop the rot defensively - two of the goals conceded yesterday resulted from basic individual errors.

Christ knows what Man Yoo will do to us on Tuesday. I'm quite relieved I'm not able to go.

Spurs 2-1 Chelsea

Get in ya bast*rd. At last!

Oh, and not forgetting a little song ;-

Lets all laugh at Arsene, lets all laugh at Arsene, na na na na.

Wenger and Mourinho can be such childish prats. They are pretty hard to respect at times.

Most Premiership managers are complete tossers.

You think? Most of them seem pretty reasonable, decent fellows to me. There's only Mourinho, Warnock, Allardyce, Moyes and (increasingly) Wenger who I would put in the "tosser" bracket.

Most of them are alright. Why do you bracket David Moyes as a "tosser". He's one of the more balanced bosses. He gives credit where it's due and takes the blame himself at times.

Birmingham 2 V Barnsley 0

The Blues go marching on. One sided match but nervy last 20 minutes until 2nd goal went in. (We do play better away). Another £15 game as was Liverpool in the week. Against Liverpool (BCFC 0 V LFC 1) neither team seemed to care...& nor did I as the League is what matters...he says after going out of the Cup. Wolves next, at Home on Saurday 18th 12 noon, to stop the fighting £29 PS. I'm ignoring A Villa's League position as it's false (yes it is) Also well done to Southend not just for Man. U (Spurs next for them) but for holding Preston & moving us up to joint 2nd (goal differance).

I'm still completely baffled by our showing against Man Yoo, it was like watching a completely different team! The strange thing is, before last Tuesday I was convinced that the game was nothing more than an irritating distraction. In fact, it could be the kickstart our season needs as we looked far more assured against Preston on Saturday than we have in recent weeks and could have won the game had we taken our chances.

The next three games are absolutely vital. We have Plymouth at home on Saturday, then we travel to local rivals Colchester and fellow strugglers Barnsley. If we can somehow eek out, say, seven points from those games we may be able to drag ourselves out of immediate danger.

Moyes is a decent guy (apart from the fact that he played for and managed PNE). I love Warnock too, he's my favourite along with Steve Coppell, Martin O'Neill and Stuart Pearce. There are several wankers including Mourinho, Wenger, Allardyce, Pardew, Dowie, Jol, Hughes, Benitez while Coleman is a bit too cocky and Ferguson is Ferguson!

I can't believe that Charlton have sacked Dowie after twelve games! I hope they go down now. Absolutely ridiculous.

Play-Offs...Take your pick (I have bad memories of 'em)

Can't do Leagues 1 & 2 as don't know enough about them to offer an opinion...thank God.

Early season thoughts...Looks like I got Cardiff & Leeds the wrong way round.

Boy did I get the top 2 wrong

I got us (3rd) & Southend spot on...PNE & Burnley won't last the pace & Cardiff...you can't have a Welsh team in the Prem can you, surely that's against the rules

(I refuse to even mention the scum from Aston).

No real shocks here. Except maybe Spurs poor start. I always knew Portsmouth would go great...After they put us down. We beat them 5-0 at home (I was there & they were crap) & so were Portsmouth It's not fair Not talking about Aston

Our new ground. A bit different from the last picture I posted here! It is a lot bigger than this photo makes it look (check the workman on the right for scale). And yes, the yellow (orange, whatever) corner is a final feature. Colour coded sides as is the current trend.

Open for (Doncaster Rovers) business January 1st 2007. Can't wait!

So Steve, how's this getting on then, all going to plan for January 07 or is it going to be another Wembely

For those of you with nothing better to do you can hear me in a radio interview about women's football and the Mike Newell incident which is going on air at 6.30 tonight on http://www.preston.fm.
