So, time travel is possible.
We’re back where we were 18 months ago.
Groundhog Day!

The non-believers have being educated and we’ve moved on Patrick.
Nothing to see here.

The good old pens.
We have our own place in history with them.
Great game 3-3 Jason White’s goal turned on a sixpence.
Funnily enough tuther team has its place in pen history as well.

Never worked out why he took that seasons designated penalty taker off and put that donkey on?

Didn’t do Boston any harm and they played all their games away.

Only 4 goals scored across all five NLN PO games last season.

Scored 1 conceded 7 in their last 3 away games.

We’ve scored 7 in our last 3 home games.

What’s the odds to get rid of the doom Rene.

A scunny win
A Kiddie loss
And not being to greedy a Brackley draw.

6 games since Leamington last scored.
5 games since Brackley didn’t score.
You’d have to say that Brackley will win that one?

15 games since Kidderminster failed to score.
6 games since Hereford last failed to score.
This one could possibly be a draw?

You always do pretty well Rene until you forget about the facts before you post, thought you might have learned that lesson by now.

Everyday is a school day.
So when did he become a full time employee then?

[Rene Artois]

But didn’t he only become office staff in about 2020 or 2021?

[Rene Artois]

Perma-crock, signed with the injury.

Ah… hardly the role he’s doing now. I’d forgotten about that.

Despite his vociferous critics, Beck would have been a really useful addition yesterday. I’d go as far to say, we may have won it. Could have held up the ball and provided valuable flick ons and be an imposing threat from those corners. He’d have sucked two defenders in to free up the likes of Mo and Roberts to make runs.

Mo looked like a puppet with no strings yesterday!

[Rene Artois]

He was there during Wharton’s tenure?

Butler should never have got the job in the first place. He’s done his best, but his lack of experience has cost us.

I thought we might get away with it as we had some momentum, but I think it will be really difficult now.

Does anybody really think he is the man to take us forward if we manage to get up?

I wanted the Admiral. He was getting a decent tune out of a set of old busted up pipes.

[Rene Artois]

Sparks is a Johnny come lately.
He rocked up late during Swann’s watch. Think it was about 2021?

Swann May 2013
Muzzy June 2013

Kiddy have goals throughout their team, we rely on Roberts and Whitehall, then sign this absolute lumux, he is shite and we are stuck with him.

He can’t even do the very basics like stand up on two feet.

Makes you wonder how he did his hamstring?
Pulling his underpants up after going for a number two?

Could they stick it back together?

Oh, sorry… erudite – lol

When Michelle leaves, the club will die.
Last of the pre Swannster/WHAMster claret & blue blood Scunny locals/employees/owners at the club.
Not included James Moody as he came along during Swannster’s time.
Is Louise still there? She may go if her ‘mucker’ packs it in.
This new mob are incompetent and will grind the club in to the dirt.

Charabanc.

From the French “wagon with benches”.

Aye, them were the days!

And there was me thinking that our Islamic brethren had organised a bus for ‘emsens.

[Rene Artois]

Was he worth £54,834 an hour.

Minimum wages in 2010 was £5.93 an hour.
He was on 10,000 times the minimum wage.

Physio’s godsend – they love having one injured! Keeps them (physio) fit!

[Rene Artois]

I’d rather he stayed there and come back here as a WINNER and inspire his team mates next season than to come here to drink from the poisoned cup of play off failure.

If they made the mistake of bringing him back, then how demotivated would he be missing out on a once in a career (at this level) opportunity to play at Wembley.
He’d be gutted!
We wouldn’t see the player that Spennymoor are enjoying.

Even Stan & Schofield aren’t that stupid that they’d even consider it!

[Rene Artois]

So, what’s the injury?
Fatigue, altitude sickness (he is 11ft 17” after all), flickonitis, twisted sock, cantbearseditis?
It can’t be double vision – he’s only scored one NLN goal all season!

What a drain on resources he’s going to be next season!

[Rene Artois]

Players brought in other than Rose have being substandard… for this level, not NL level.
I’d love to know who thought Beck would be a good acquisition? Schofield?
An absolute waste of money.
I knew he wouldn’t score another goal all season. And so it’s transpired.

That £65k a month deficit would have been £59k if we’d said ‘no thanks’.

Hopefully there wasn’t a signing on fee or agents fee involved? What’s he had in win bonus money?

Is he injured? If so, what’s the injury?
Or, is it to prevent him hitting an appearance number (say 30 – he’s on 26 NLN appearances) so as a bonus payment doesn’t kick in.
Yes, that does happen.

Probably the worst signing since:

The Grate (sic) Kenny Milne – 8 appearances (569 minutes), £5k a week. £520k plus bonuses – nice ‘work’ if you can get it!

Money down the drain in both cases!

At K. L., they had two attempts and scored from the one on target whereas we had 20 of which 10 were on target. Unfortunately, we were playing a pub team of time wasters. I wonder which pub their number six plays for.
A most disappointing result after a three and a half hour drive from Newbury.

Don’t remember their keeper making 10 saves. Two maybe and one for Carlton. Didn’t desrve to lose or win but if we had hit the target 10 times we’d have the three points. Passing and shooting was terrible, 10/10 for effort.

Played with the intensity of a veterans game or a pro/am celebrity game.
2/10 for quality – 3/10 for effort

[Rene Artois]

Next year? Beck… oh heck!

[Rene Artois]

On that performance, we don’t have a single player.

Step 8 NPL Div One (East) standard today. Some were that bad that you wouldn’t want them in your team at Step 9 NCEL Prem.

Mo, has to go!
Give him his bus fare and a thank you.

Abysmal!
