MAYBE it sounds a harsh thing to say but if someone shook a bucket at a Knitters game collecting for cash-strapped Stafford Rangers, I wouldn't chuck in.

It's about time the Football Association grew a pair

YOU often hear football fans harking back to the days when men were men and players like Chris Morgan were the mainstays of a good side's back four.

Not losing any sleep over tin pot cup exit

I'M not sure I'd have wanted Leicester City's name engraved on the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Two draws a bit of a disappointment

TWO games and two points is far from a disaster but I can't help feeling disappointed with Leicester City's haul from the last two games.

International weeks are a right pain

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:54:22 +0000

I HATE international weeks.

You never know with the Foxes, but I think my money's safe

Knitters impress but Solihull Moors are a disgrace!

I TOOK in my first game of the season at Hinckley United on Saturday and was impressed with what I saw.

Time for nosebleeds

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 09:18:34 +0000

IT'S going to be nosebleed time for us soon if we're not careful. Yes, I know it's only early days, and I know we have had to drop down a division to get some success, but seeing us in 2nd in League One is a great feeling.

The murky waters of League One aren't as bad as expected

AFTER going through the pain barrier of watching the Foxes first game in the murky waters of League One, there's plenty to feel optimistic about.
