Some really good signings so far. Anybody who thinks we just need a LCB and to “make a better start” is underestimating this league next season. last season we were up there without being too great if that makes sense. This season will be harder, I think challinor has to do better tactically too and I think he will (I'm not expecting Barcelona 09) but subs being used at better times and not just us crossing it into the box and I think he will do better now he has a full season under his name in the efl. Running it up the wing and crossing it into the box for the on-rushing striker never did me any harm in SWOS to be fair…

Jim built us a Championship level team. That squad from 08/09 would have gone up if it hadn't been decimated. Fon Williams Mullins Rose Blizzard Rowe McNulty Pilks Dicker Baker Tansey Plus decent loanees like Craig Davies etc. We easily could have gone up. Without doubt. If things hadn’t gone wrong we were only a couple of additions from having a team what would have gone up and probably stayed up. Despite the off field shenanigans and the state of the pitch we played some of the best football I’ve seen a County team play in the first half of that season. Didn,t see too many games that season before the problems came up. However the ones i did see i thought we looked better than dave jones,s side that won promotion from that division and hammered at least one side at EP which was rarely the case before.

Yeah, true. And they were dogshit. But three academy players scoring a third of our goals and assists would be superb. That's something for any club to be proud of. Have we ever had that? I doubt it. Oh don't get me wrong. It's the pinnacle of football achievement to have a successful team that contains lots of your own and players you've developed. It's definitely an area I'd love to see improve again now we're in the FL and from what I can see we're hopefully making some good steps on it. I think it's very much in Mark Stott and his teams plans. But if the overall team is crap the fans wouldn't be so forgiving though. Not only that Atmos - but you want young uns coming into good teams

Still got a Capri 2.8, the Dairy Milk Capri was a thing of beauty. Nearest I got to the Cosworth was my 1.6 Sierra GLS back in 1992😂 I did get close to an RS2000 Mexico at the lights near Stockport College, pulled up alongside it quietly confident in my 3 litre Capri, it smoked me and went off in to the distance spitting flames 🤣 can only assume it was running nitrous!

I had a Vectra Sri. Not quite the Cosworth but was pretty good. Second company car I owned...just coming to the end of their really sporty shape with the double exhaust pipes and the rear spoiler (hence it was on my list). Looked the dogs bollocks. But not as fast as it looked.

Had an R reg one in green, hand me down from a sales guy who moved on, was a grade above what I could get as a company car back then, well chuffed at the time and a huge leap from my 1.4 Astra! Back when fuel cards hadn't been taxed out of existence!

The Vauxhall Lotus Carlton would have blown all those dagenham dustbins into oblivion. A production car that parliament on police advice wanted to ban. Had a 3 litre Carlton estate once, made for police assesment and chickened out at 125 mph chasing paul daniels up the M1 as he seemed shocked an old estate car passed his roller and could not wait to pass me. Not sure how another contributer on here would have taken this as he had left cov. uni. before i bought this.

Leyton orient journo with 50k followers on twitter (for what that's worth) has said vigerourx is joining Burnley
Burnley fans in the comments seen clueless about it and orient fans are wishing him good luck so it looks like the guy is reliable
