The Eastleigh statement on their website hinted at a disagreement about the state of the pitch. Behind all the platitudes, it seems like there may have been a bit of a falling out. Oh to have been a fly on the pitch side wall at that inspection yesterday.

Two months without a game and the first friendly is called off. Thanks Eastleigh!

So my thoughts turned to more weighty matters.

You know that trick freestylers do to juggle the ball and then catch it between their shoulder blades?

If a player were to do that in the opposition’s penalty area, how would they get the ball off him without giving…[Read more]

Good news at last in the transfer market, even if it is a departing player. Now if only we could have one newbie to get us excited. Is that asking too much?

I have to agree Rob. Throw in the couple of “number one” targets from that Kent team who spent most of last season looking down rather than up. Is that really who we are looking to get? Maybe this is all we can expect with our budget, but it all seems a bit of a sorry saga. Especially when you consider who has been let go. With Poleon I can shrug…[Read more]

So the odds on us being relegated are lengthening Windlesham 🙂

Where the hell do you guys get this sort of information from? Don’t tell us if it compromises your sources.

Letting Shea may yet prove to be a lost bet, but i’ll still give the benefit of doubt. It was clear he and Neal Ardley didn’t always see eye to eye, and when a keeper…[Read more]

I’d better start bulk buying boxes of tissue for the homecoming. Now we just need to maintain our league one position until 2019, draw the scum at home in the first game of the season, and whip their thieving arses 10-0.

RJ per chance?

I was speaking to a Pompey friend yesterday. They also released one of their keepers at the end of the season. This makes yet more competition from yet another club with a larger budget. With other clubs signing keepers already, I hope we aren’t left with the dregs to choose from.

The recent posts about England’s U17s match reports were telling. Why? The players teams were mentioned and most were Premier League, with a scattering of Championship clubs. Joe Bursik was the only League One player. If he is to leave, let’s hope we get a Premier League fee.

So Deji Oshilaja it is then. No real surprise, and Neil Ardley certainly looks a happy fella. He’s every right to. The signings so far look positive. After three of last season’s bunch fell flat, they’d bloody well better be!

The new club website is up and running.

Positives
– It looks a lot cleaner.
– Less confusing to find content.
– Has a responsive layout for better optimisation on tablets / phones.

Negatives

– Can’t see many of you paying £110 to subscribe to (sic) iFollow.
– The site is not very well optimised for large laptop screens.
– Sponsor logos are…[Read more]

Anyone who has had the misfortune to have a dispute with our HMRC, knows it can be a very painful business. When the tax system is so darn complicated that even they don’t fully understand it, mistakes are bound to happen.

If this was the USA we’d have fired off a litigation case for a sullied reputation. As it is, we just publish a statement…[Read more]

I can’t disagree with most of what has been said about the players to go and what should replace them. I’d love to see a passing style of football, but just can’t see it happen. For a start, the KM pitch isn’t good enough, and a direct approach is bound to win more points (if not plaudits) in the long run.

I won’t disagree with a lot of Windlesham’s coach friend says. Some of the criticism seems a bit harsh, but his comments have to be taken with his background as context.

What I will say is that I don’t expect a lot of personnel changes in the close season. Young fringe players like Tom Beere may be off. I’d like to say the same of Barnett and…[Read more]

Have a safe journey back Liam. BTW are you leaving because it’s your round 🙂

What a utter waste of time. I wish sides with nothing to play for could just agree to take a point each, so that we could all do something better with our time.

The bright spark today was young Toby Sibbick. He had an excellent game in defence, and even had a couple of half chances going forward late on. It is easy to see why Premiership clubs…[Read more]

My summary of the Rochdale game? How the hell did we win that 3-1?

For the first 25 minutes we were chasing shadows as Rochdale got the ball wide and delivered cross after cross across our six yard box. Only a combination of poor finishing and a good luck stopped them scoring.

Then all of a sudden that their weak link was doing the same to them.…[Read more]

Rob. Thanks for posting those stats. I had no idea we had such an impressive record against the Cods. I’ll slightly disappointed now that we didn’t steal all three points.

At the start of the second half the MK goalie arrives in front of the Home End. Anyone of a polite disposition should look away now…

Just listened to the interview with former Dons managers. Dave Anderson and Terry Brown. What a great watch it was. The stand out quote was from Dave talking about meeting Jon Main as he came to the ground yesterday. John looked at the police presence, turned to Dave and said, “It wasn’t like this when we played Chipstead.”

ROTFL.
