With your vision, we’re a winning brand!

Leading with passion, guiding the way,
Under your leadership, we’ll seize the day!

Michelle Harness, our anchor and saviour,
With you at the helm, we’re all of a quaver!

With your leadership, our story’s told!

Through highs and lows, you’ve led the way,
Under your care, we’ll win the day!

Michelle Harness, our beacon bright,
With you as owner, we’ll reach new heights!”
Iron, Iron, Iron!”

“Jacob Butterfield, skillful and bright,
On the pitch, you shine with delight!

With every pass, you lead the way,
For victory, we’ll cheer and sway!

Jacob Butterfield, our midfield king,
With you on our side, we’ll always sing!

Iron, Iron, Iron!”

Jimbob is demonstrating that he’s tactically dilettantish.

We should be the Lords of the Manor at this level; engorging from a gourmandised menu.
Instead, we are slopped up ‘le menu à prendre ou à laisser’

A one dish fits all diet that is unpleasant, unpalatable and inducing a state of torpor and cibophobia.

The menu requires a Ramseyesque intervention, else the restaurant will be empty next season.

[Rene Artois]

100% focused on the league the 1st team are in.

Sadly, all we have remaining is the pyramidion.

Away NLN games that don’t clash with PL games.

£180 for a commercial premise to show the game.

Iron Bar holds 200.

£10 entry = £2,000
£20 beer (a guess) = £4,000
£10 food = £2,000

Income = £8,000

Iron Bar = 200
Exec Lounge = 120
Restaurant = 150

470 potential.
That could generate £18,800 (using the assumed expenditure above).

Money in to our club rather than the oppositions.

My ‘money thief’ has us at a lower price for SUFC to win 3-0 (10/1) than for CAFC to win 1-0 (12/1)

After the recent dismal performances, that’s (12/1) a huge price.

1-0… 9/2
2-0… 11/2
1-1… 6/1
2-1… 7/1
0-0… 8/1
3-0… 10/1
3-1… 12/1

0-1… 12/1

Warrington & Brackley are the current form teams, both taking ten points from the last four games.

Head… another 1-1
Heart… 2-1
Gut… 0-1

Three bobs at the one apple… but, if I was forced to have a bet, I’d do the 1-1

All of Curzon’s goals scored in January:

[Rene Artois]

Seven (7!) clean sheets on the bounce now!

Sponsored Goals

Donate a pound for every goal we score over the course of the season.

100 goals = £100 donation at the end of the season.

£100 x 4,000 = £400,000

Attack, attack, attack!

The Penny Club

A Penny a day helps the club stay afloat.

Put a penny aside every day.

0.01 x 365 = £3.65
£3.65 x 4000 = £14,600

The power of the penny.

[Rene Artois]

True.
The reality is that we’ll be playing in this league next season.
Tamworth are Champions.
We ain’t got the qualities to win the play offs.
The others will want it more.

[Rene Artois]

We’re full time.
I think all of the others are part time?
Why aren’t we out of sight?

We might have six training sessions a week (no midweek game).
They’ll probably have two training sessions a week.
Shouldn’t we be fitter, faster, stronger, technically & tactically better than them?

Why are we getting it so wrong!

Another score draw at Blyth snatched from the ‘jaws of victory’

Peterborough Sports and Boston United at home.

Alfreton, Blyth, Boston United, Chorley.

All the games above have been drawn from winning positions. Buxton 0-0 away being the other.

That’s twelve points which would have put us two in front of Tamworth.

The worrying thing away at Blyth was taking off Whitehall. We looked dangerous every time we went forward especially once he brought Wilson on.

That danger ended with that particular substitution and hey ho another draw from Blyth’s only real shot of the game.

Sorry Jimmy but your substitutions when taking off the strikers to protect an odd goal margin don’t work. The proof is there please look at the stats.

He’s clueless!

[Rene Artois]

Will do.
But… many threads make a web.
One in which we are snared.
The common denominator is…
Pity we’re skint – in days gone by we might be changing the nameplate on the door.

Pity they can’t reveal more.

[Rene Artois]

Difficult to identify if a player is giving 90% or 100%

Ten outfield players only giving 90% and you’re a man down.

Agree with the rest though.

3 months ago, I’d have gone for a 0-2 win.

However, they’ll score a goal, so, can we score two?
How we are playing, I’m not sure.

I’ll have to go 1-1.

Head: 1-1
Heart: 1-2
Gut: 1-0

OMG!
