Robbie Flower is set to join Blackburn.

Out of interest what sort of rivalry is there between MU and Blackburn? I know he will cop **** because he used to play for Citeh, Liverpool and Dirty Leeds so I guess it will not matter.

WOW...Luton have been hit with 30 point deduction for this season. Thats insane. They might as well not even bother playing.

Yeah it's a terrible thing, but on the plus side it means Exeter are 30 points off the bottom already. Any chance of anyone else getting docked points:dry:

And the points deductions seem crazy. Might as well eject the club from the league altogether and offer the place to the playoff loser or summat.
Would actually make sense, Luton starting with a clean sheet in the conference, would give them more to play for. I mean they may well need to pick up 80 points to stay up, and unlike with Dirty Leeds last year, no funds to strengthen . Cambridge finished second in the league and were play-off runners-up (thank Jehovah), so they'd be obvious candidates, to be promoted. Don't see it happening with the fixtures being out now though. Also I'm sure the Conference clubs (cliquey bastards that they are), would demand a deduction themselves. The conference is going to be lethal next year, as Pickup stated before, anyway. 12 clubs fighting over two places and Luton for a cash-strapped Cambridge would make it even worse, so there's not a chance the other teams in the tinpot league would allow it.

Yeah you did. Had 2 guns come up from the youth team that season, him and Nicky Weaver. One's been more successful than the other.

Apparently Exeter drew 1-1 tonight against that well-known footballing phrase Weston-Super-Mare*. there was a punch-up apparently, which is nice.

* where the "weathers always fine and the girls are always fair", according to the Wurzels. tbh, judging on that comment I wouldn't trust any travel advice from the west-country's finest folk-pop-pastiche-crap-combo.

Mansfield have signed Adie Moses (went alright at Barnsley ten years ago) and Michael Blackwood (some random, ex Villa trainee).

Waiting for us to sign more 90s Derby players myself. Gabbiadini and Van der Laan would be amazing signings.

United should just sell Ronaldo and get this story over with. It's annoying.

They could get probably get Silva, Villa and Joaquin with that kinda stupid money. The three play the positions Ronaldo used to play, and even if one them gets injured, it's not as big a loss.
