Scunny: a chairman chucking money in and populating a side with proven talent. Us: a chairman sucking money out and populating a side with enthusiastic but limited youngsters. Whilst tolerating chancers and opportunists yet blaming subsequent losses on fans. Allegedly. As is so often the...

Seems to me Scunny are pretty much where we were at in L2: an ambitious chairman underwriting a side full of proven talent and a manager capable of sorting 'em out. Fair play for that. And fair play for larging it up when things are going their way. One thing, though: barely twelve hundred at a...

Town fans have viewed Turner's position as untenable for years, but he carries on bumbling from one costly embarrassment to the next. Meanwhile there're those who believe the initials PPP, the acronym for the company he jointly runs with Liam Sutcliffe, a former bankrupt who's tried to airbrush...

If only it was as simple as that...

'Uncle Dave still your hero?' He hates Wednesday so we're cool.

'A daft thing to say. It's quite funny that you lot obviously took it so personally though.' Yeah, how dare anyone at those pesky little clubs around the mighty Bowels even hint they might not be the most mahoosive outfit in the history of everything. But not that mahoosive their fans don't...

Phew! Dunno how he's done it but Wilson's pulled off some kinda football miracle given the mess he inherited. If ever there was a recipe for relegation the Powers That Be at our club cooked it up this season. Hope the Bury players enjoy the holidays they were clearly thinking of yesterday...

You're welcome, Sheffyoo. Blunts make a song and dance about their visit being our biggest game of the season but clearly our players didn't seem to think so. Truth is United barely needed to get out of third gear and were gifted three goals. It's games like that which remind us exactly what...

Crown and Cushion? 'Nice.....'

I'm sure most Blunts will be saying their season's been over for weeks - and be right to do so. But there'd still be kudos in a result confirming L1 football for both of us next season. There're also a number of ex Blunts at the Proact these days; stand by for loud 'one of our own' chants if...

Kinda hilarious that JCR is out of a game he wouldn't have played in anyway. And I'm struggling to understand our Barnsley friend's desolation at the result. They looked bottom six rather than top six candidates pre Christmas yet've enjoyed a terrific last few months culminating in the Wembley...

Calling us Yorkshire is like calling someone from Barnsley a Tory. By the way, the idea that managers always lose after receiving the MOTM award is just a myth...isn't it?

Well that was a real coupon killer. I'll take being called a poor side every week - and it's an accusation I won't challenge - as long as it's from outfits we've taken points from. This is a shite division this season, and it's that fact which might save us.

The '84/5 season saw us crowned fourth division Champions. Problem was so many of our fans were on strike they couldn't afford to witness it. The police state in operation back then? You southerners have no idea; road blocks on every route out of Chesterfield - and it was the same for every...

Four weeks ago we'd no idea where our next goal was coming from, let alone our next point. Yet here we are eleven goals and seven points better off. Wigan are still big favourites - and so they should be with their wage bill - but we go to their's with a degree of hope instead of expecting an...

No, Saunders also blew his budget on the likes of O'Neil. It's difficult to pass on to other fans what a total and utter disaster he was for our club.

It's difficult to put into words just what a disaster Dean Saunders has been. Quality players replaced with crocks, kids and cast-offs. High-tempo pressing, passing, entertaining football replaced with a clueless, lacklustre shambles. Enthusiasm, expectation and confidence replaced with...

Y'know, this fixture a year ago saw two sides playing neat, tidy, entertaining football that had all those witnessing saying they'd had more than their money's worth. Today it was a shitfest. We've Dean Saunders and the incompetent/(allegedly) corrupt fools running our club to blame; I guess...

Yeah we did the non-league thing early in our history. Hey, it comes with being the fourth oldest football league club >brushes nails on shirt<. And here's a local myth/story: within a win of promotion to the top tier in the post-war years the Tairn squad celebrated too soon, getting bladdered...

No annoyance, pal, just a sense of head-scratching bewilderment. There's something very 'What did the Romans ever do for us?' about the FCUM fans' posturing yet still turning up. Wonder if they'll be so desperate to snub the cameras if they get a result...
