Sandy - That was yet another Sweeney (Simon) who got injured (I think against Chelmsford at Billericay’s ground) shortly after we signed him

I've always maintained that if you hadn't appeared in The Bill you're not a proper actor.

Tricky to add words to though
Cheers Amba. I think it was Peter I was thinking of. Had a career-ending (or at threatening) injury on a frozen pitch somewhere in Essex.

Sandy - As well as Ryan, Dan's brother, we also had midfielder Peter Sweeney (no relation). He was troubled with injuries early after his arrival and as he was getting to full fitness and ready to play a whole match, he was the main interviewee in the programme. JtD, as editor, entitled the article something like: "Sweeney's doing 90".

Spit - I thought it was a policy of Spoons not to show live sport? Is that not the case?

Hmm, can anyone think of a tune for a Sweeney chant. A TV theme would be good.

See, you could reverse this rise in global temperature by returning to coal fires instead of central heating. Dirty great industrial chimneys belching out smoke 24/7. Bring back smog I say. Block out the sun for a few years, the planet would soon cool down. Of course us old farts would die off quicker with buggered lungs, but current thinking says that would help the economy anyway. Stay tuned for more bright ideas.

I will be watching the England game in the air conditioned cheam spoons and yes they do have the sound up.
Can't believe it but our annual skittles team meal is tonight. Rotten timing but at least it's in a pub.

And Trig- your American will be right about English tractors soon enough 😔
I think Sweeney and Tilley will be the initial 2 signings, hoping for Seddon to sign too.

I reckon Maycock will go, was dropped for long periods even when Reeves was terrible so probably a bit put out tbh
It’s nice to go to the pub to watch England World Cup games but it’s 35 degrees, 8 deep at the bar and there’s always at least 1 person willing to stand in front of the screen so I think tonight I might watch the game in the comfort of my own home with Old Rosie.

The Tilley rumour actually seems to have legs so reckon he will be the first signing we announce, possibly this week.

Honestly forget which trophy is which these days.
They have Mitch Pinnock for the deadly left footed winger already

Acord6to Facebook we've made an offer to bring back Tilley from Wycombe. Would be a good signing based on last season.
