Roger Smith is the new Academy Director. He was previously in charge of youth development which has been very successful. On the other hand, he also bought up Carl Cort and Jason Euell. Gareth “Wild Thang” Ainsworth is fit and raring to go, which was exactly the same thing he said last year. Hopefully he
Well, as you all know by now, TB was on “Any Sporting Questions” last night from Wimbledon Rugby Club. SW19 was there, albeit as a literally last minute decision, and here’s what occured : I got to speak to TB before the show started, and although he stuck to the party line on many questions,
New signing – well, kind of : John Clinkard, ex-Oxford and Everton physio, has come in to help Steve Allen with injuries and such like.

BRG gave an interview to Nog website http://www.fotball247.com and very interesting it was too – here’s what he said (obtained via various sources) : . “We’re working on a three year project. By then we should be back in the Premier League, but hopefully it will happen next year”. Note that he’s not going for
And welcome to the current bi-weekly SW19 update. Believe it or not, I do have a life, albeit not a very pleasant one But I will endeavour to keep going a little while longer yet. Honest. Anyway, where to start? Oh yeah, TB has made his first signing, a 6 ft 7 goalie called Ian
The Jermaine Darlington stories still won’t go away – even Teletext report on it now. Sadly, the same source report that Maggie will go to Spurz for £4.2m. Low I know, but as said last time, it’s either that now when his value is still high, or nowt this time next year. One of the
