This is another club in the 'look how far they have fallen' category with a squandered legacy.

When they got into the Prem with Hoddle in charge you could see them becoming a team who maybe weren't permanent prem level but would always be there or thereabouts. Lots to build on. They transformed the ground and looked set fair.

Then the d*ckheads got involved.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

I look forward to the next episode of

If you can’t pay we take it away  


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 genuinely don't know what it is but it'll be announced in the morning.

Knowing our luck...


How could any announcement about Swindon affect us?

Maybe could be a reprieve for Southend but not us.

Sounds a sad situation.  Chief Executive has quit and fled the sinking ship, Rent not paid since April 2020, Players and staff not been paid for June yet, No Manager, Pre-season and training has been put back a couple of weeks and looks like they are going to be put on a transfer embargo.
Survival is going to be essential for them but even if they do think they are going to be for a long season.

Think that the point he was making us. We finished last and therefore not reprieved. We were hopeless and embarrassing from top to bottom last season so we fully deserve to be in non league.

Are there any decent Swindon players that want out who are looking for a regular wage?

Surely with the non-payment of wages, it voids any contract a player has with the club? If wages are not paid, it should mean a player is free to leave.

If they wear a tinfoil hat like the last player we got from Swindon I'm not interested.

This guy was class against us the season before last when they went up. Not sure if he's still at Swindon. https://www.theguardian.com/fo.....-owner-harrow-school

Down in exile around my parish, they are known as 'Swindle Town!'
