Quoted from forza ivano
Sevilla have just won the Europa cup again despite losing half their side last summer, and the summer before that as well.so it happens throughout the football world and doesn't mean next season is not going to be successful.southampton is another example


Hope that's not their equivalent of the FA (tinpot) trophy 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I would agree that this group of players have been proud to wear the town shirt and for the first time in many seasons our players commitment to the club has not been a subject for debate.

We are always to see the better players go but lets be honest if, like Pearson, you have given your all for four seasons, failing at the final hurdles in the last three and are then offered the chance to play two leagues higher and probably treble your wages would you not want to leave.

In all honesty we can expect Magnay to join him the league, if not, you have to ask what club scouts are doing when they come to watch town. Equally, any striker that gets 20 goals will also be in demand but a few months ago myself, and many other town fans would have been happy to see LJL move on.

Last season we brought in Magnay and Toto and lost Aswad early on but still had one of the best defences in the league and this is PH's strength so no fear here. Also do we think PH is going to be shocked by this development? He will probably have been aware of other clubs interest in our players for months and I would expect planned accordingly in the knowledge that promotion would have meant plan A and failure plan B.

Lee1975 also makes a very valid point about the final in that in reality we did not create much in way of chances in two hours of football despite giving our all throughout. The unknown is Ginnywing's point re time to gel but how many conference teams will not have at least five or six new players in their team.

Priority for PH is to ensure that our historic poor starts to the season is a thing of the past and by end of October we are well up there not nine points adrift.

Truth is until the season gets underway all we can do is speculate pessimists with gloom optimists with hope. Not sure why but for some reason this year I am in the latter's camp.

These so called star players managed 25 less home points than Barnet and Rovers which ultimately cost us the title . There's no reason that if we can start on a roll that we finished the replacements will be more than adequate to win a weaker looking division this coming season .
Gowling looks a more than adequate replacement for Pearson and tbh I've always had doubts about Toto anyway . Always got a mistake in him as shown in playoff semi final away leg and in the final with that wild slice to concede the corner they scored off .

I would be a bit concerned if our centre back pairing was Toto and Gowling, both like to play the ball, Toto a bit too much for me.

I honestly wouldn't be bothered if he went . He's the most easily replaceable one out of the 3

I think we all agree that the club, players and fans we're all pulling together with new found optimism. There's not a lot we can do to change things but we can keep our optimism and positivity for the players that stay and the new ones that come.

Good luck Shaun Pearson.

No one can begrudge him league football after he has given his all for gtfc.

Yes am peed off with the last hour.


Are you like 12?

if you worked for a company in an average town for an average wage would you stay when a club is offering you a bigger wage and a 'nicer' place to live? get a grip.

Who were our "key" players this time last year? McKeown,Hatton,Thomas,Pearson,Disley,Rodman,Neilson? How many ended the season with us? Of those that left how many have taken the world by storm?

I know LJLs agent, trying to find out his situation but definitely seems to be Pearson going. Surely we have to accept if a league one club comes for one of our lads he will go.
