Such a shame. I was hoping to ask him what was more gut wrenching.

Hammered 50-0 in the most humiliating defeat in the history of the cup final or the agony of losing by a golden point.

Genuinely would love to know bless him.

Galling for him. He must be one of the many that has spent a lifetime singing “you’ll never win at Wembley” to then see us, in two years, double their success there.

That’s how shallow their history of success is. It can be overturned in 365 days.

Back on rumours, I don’t have any. I just log in here from time to time going that chap Ellam posts something. He seems to have to the best conversion of rumour to signing by quite a margin.

I'm convinced it's Ellam who picks the team and tells TS what the line up is!

Regarding the rumours I thought it was interesting that the Ese-ese signing was announced before Pele and the others who we know have already signed.

Ese-ese was mentioned a couple of months ago in passing but nowhere near a done deal.

I wonder if the next signing to be announced may be a bit of a surprise as well.

I saw him last week house hunting on Kingswood so I reckon it's in the bag.

I heard that Keith and a few of his Red and White chums had all chipped in to pay for a plane to fly over the MKM next week to celebrate their long awaited success.

I hope it was no win no fee.

I don't trust these media stories, link clubs with players, where the agents are trying to get a better deal or it gets denied by clubs like Pele and Miller and they still sign.

That’s why the recruitment doesn’t concern me. Smith will develop anyone we bring in. Waited years for someone like him to be in charge.
Darnell McIntosh is a perfect example of the Tony Smith factor.

Lane? Lovadua? Evans?

Well you could probably name 14,000 sportsmen who haven't been improved by a good coach.
