Darlo Uncovered

Just been on, Fordy up next. Cooper really reminds me of Penney - a real honest pragmatist. Not going to endear himself to everyone I don't think, but I like the cut of his jib. Eddie Kyle just went in two-footed on Davey 'disgraceful' 'unbelievable' 'Kidd bottled it' 'what kind of a man is Davey?' ...

We are a club that people with no connection to use will regard as a stepping stone, particular ambitious young sorts like Cooper. A year's contract is quite reasonable, an d If he does moderately well, he may feel he wants to stay and finish the job, if we win it at a canter he might well leave any...

No sir. Apostrophes.

I'm being tested, I pass the test, I get the job and claim, in the words of Quakerz, my £5.

Please can I take charge of misplaced apostrophes?

Best we can hope for is on loan, but it still sounds a little unlikely to me. Peterborough shelled out big money for him not five months ago, and played him in the first team even after Cooper left.

Back at Peterborough I think.

I'd have him back, he was a fantastic player for us, but his injury record is a trifle troubling. That said, we've a ready made replacement in TW. They'd also be a horrible pairing for defenders to play against.

I don't think it's very likely though, unfortunately.

As good a move as we could expect in the circumstances - and it works for Cooper too, as no other jobs will be coming up for at least a few months and he;'s been out of work for a while. I had hoped for Cooper before we got Davey so this works for me. Now let's just get everything confirmed and try ...

now fook off & enjoy the fact that you have a well over the hill Mick Wadsworth as your new first team coach, hahahahahaha. I'd meant to mention this - Mick Wadsworth never got to the top of the fucking hill to get over it - that is a hilarious appointment on every single level. Why don't you go pe...

Thirded. We were in absolutely desperate straits last summer - the full reasons for which are still completely unclear to me. I often agreed with Houghton during his time as chairman on the problems with support in the town, but in retrospect his finger jabbing approach was always more likely to ali...

get rid. and bring in roy hodgson before hes snapped up by liverpool. Hodgson, if he takes over at Liverpool, is not going to do well. I don't often make 'right on',definitive statements for fear I'm gpoing to look like an arse later on, but I'd say I'm pretty safe there. Redknapp has serious if un...

Penney?

Christ. I'm completely with Quakerz on the 'fuck England, who really cares' point of view. This is seriously worrying.

I'm properly sick of all this. Does anyone else suspect that Craig James put some kind of evil curse on us last summer?

That website also seems to think they could be signing Andy Bishop, which sounds unlikely, but with his injury history could go either way.

Wouldn't have Proudlock back myself like.

I think they'd probably rather let it lie and look forward to next season with Kidd in charge, and they'd be right to do so. We will have our chance to tell Davey what we think of him in person, whether it's this season in the cup, or at some point in the future. We're hardly teams who belong in div...

I too am worried Hereford will now nip in on 'the three'. The saving grace could be if they need players in different positions than us. Also, if one of 'the three' had worked with Kidd at Preston, as has been mentioned, then we stand a decent chance with him,whoever he may be. Also, although he did...

Given it's on the Football Rumours site, probably not at all.

Horrible team if tonight's anything to go by. Awful tackling, falling all over the place, and Kaka did not deserve that red card. Keita ran into him intentionally and went down like a sack of s*** knowing he was going to get Kaka sent off. Not often I'll defend a Real Madrid player, but that was ter...

Sounds awful. I'd rather have Bazza any day of the week.

Could do well in a properly organised team. Especially if we didn't already have one million midfielders. The one thing he does seem to do though is score goals. Remember him breaking from midfield to score away at Chesterfield - none of our current midfielders really do that, save on occasions Gare...

Santino, I need to know more about Filipe Mentel. Surely signed just for the name?

Please tell me he's like Balotelli crossed with Vinnie Jones. Doing Arshavin's blog.

Good game mind. Some comedy defending going on.

He varely even smiled when he scored just now against Cameroon. You just scoredd in the WORLD CUP! Go absolutely WILD you bugger.

Christ, if it creates a bit of atmosphere in the place I'll buy one for every fan that turns up.

"It's not a kidology job with the players, every player coming into the club this summer has one thing on their mind and that's to get promoted.

"I want to be a part of that. I want to be a manager who in his first year gets a promotion on his CV"

That's what we like to hear.

Never know. Our Dream Team esque existence might just be dramatic enough to draw a few people with a particular love of lunacy and weirdness in.

Incidentally, if you pay for your ticket by cheque sent through the post, when do they take the money off you?

I think you can tell from looking on here that people are still feeling pretty positive about things. The fact we have stepped up our assistant is good for consistency over the summer, as bringing a new man in could easily have completely disrupted our preparations for enxt year, and they could also...

My mate once accidentally jumped on a wasps' nest. Of course, he was stood next to muggins here at the time, and I bore the brunt of the subsequent little b****** attacks. In my attempts to escape I fell in a nettle patch and scraped my arm along some barbed wire. It was, let's have it said, pretty ...

You know what, I'm glad Fordy's here. He knows how bonkers football can be and has probably kept a bit of a lid on things the last few days.

What I find particularly strange is that the first rumours of Davey's departure appeared on a Hereford messageboard in relation to him becoming their new manager. If he really isn't in line for Hereford there's a major coincidence right there. It's all very verrry odd. I imagine you were away having...

It's got to be worth digging out Alan White's quotes about how he discouraged players from putting in extra training, everyone was unfit, and all the players formed little cliques, just to post on a Hereford board.
