I didn’t choose the best examples to be fair, forgot about the prem…

Weird how some clubs seem to get lucky with ownership. Wigan, Blackpool, Blackburn (I know they’ve all had issues) all seem to punch above their weight given the crowds they get. I would definitely add MK to the list. Poxy crowds but always seem to be guaranteed to be ‘up and around’ it in...

Cracking first half from Notts, Shrewsbury hardly had a kick. The players change but the comedy defending is back and we let them back in it. There’s the old cliche around football about certain players having kompromat on owners or managers to keep getting picked but I’m absolutely sure Sam...

Rumours on Twitter that we’re in for Jake Young. Also of Dan Crowley going to Mansfield if they flog DKD. The riot police will be on standby again if that second thing happens.

How did Aden Baldwin get on?

I actually slipped a quick tenner on us to get relegated when I saw that team sheet, Chicksen dearie me. As everyone’s said I thought it was a promising performance with plenty to build on. The defence and keeper looks day and night compared to last season. I thought we were pretty wasteful...

Wholly agree that Slocombe is about as far from fine as you can get. Stone seems perfectly adequate to me as a backup keeper but everyone at the club seems to hate him for some reason. No idea why.

Fuckin ell. I loved Azza, mainly because a flying winger is my favourite position but also because he was a 100% player and he did that tackle and he was probably our 2nd best player in the playoff final. Also the dickheads behind us in the Kop didn’t like him, so it annoyed them when he did...

Always interested to see what attitude newly promoted fans take to that daft trophy so glad to see Chesterfield giving it the respect it deserves… A club not a million miles from me got all giddy with it and won it in their first season back, to their eternal shame.

Enjoyed Tranmere last season despite the result and it turning out to be Williams last game (sob). Quite fancy Tranny to do alright this season so a tough game on the cards, think we’ll lose narrowly. 1500 ish tickets sold so should be a decent atmosphere. If Jodi starts on the right I’m on...

The first two sentences allude to the fact that all pre season predictions in league 2 are basically wild guesses so describing one as ‘hysteria’ is ridiculous. And the owners however good they are can’t sign any players after August. I don’t know why you keep bringing NCM into this, but I...

I don’t really see what’s confusing or hysterical about saying we’ll finish 17th because I think the coach is crap, especially if you’ve said we’ll finish 15 th… Obviously Macca leaving doesn’t help when we haven’t got a replacement so far, but I don’t think I’d be much more optimistic if he...

Yeah. I don’t know so much about Barrow, but I think Woodman is entirely capable of reproducing what he did season after season in the National league. Would probably be inclined to put them a bit higher if my life depended on it.

This is one of the weirdest interactions I’ve ever had. I’m really genuinely sorry my prediction of 17th for us has upset you so much. If I swap us and Salford around, will that make you feel better?

Bloody ell I’m not pretending my football knowledge is great but I’ve never had anyone get stuck in about something that hasn’t happened yet! The owners haven’t started coaching or playing football yet have they?

oops Crewe in 13th

A pre season prediction of lower mid tableish counts as hysteria? Bugger all to do with Macca leaving(and we did finish only 14th with him) it’s more to do with Maynard. Fuckin ell mate we were favourites to win this league a few years ago and we ended up getting relegated.

Yes, 4 or 5 trialists in the second one.

Lost 1-0 and 4-3 to Peterborough in 2 matches. Ok performances apparently but a lot of triallists on show for this close to the season. Also Sam Slocombe please retire. Please.
