Maguire is out of action for six weeks.

In midweek Tranmere will knock Southport out of the FA CUP. I suggest we immediately make an offer for Ryan Astles, Southport's centre back.

We urgently need a centre back.

Bollocks, there really is no Father Christmas is there ?

So much for your having been a ‘good boy’ this year, Dancing. That`s clearly what Santa thinks of that.

What the hell did you do on your Saturday night rampage in June? Commit mass murder?

On that subject, the word on the streets is that Bet365 are going to be opening a book shortly with some VERY interesting and salacious choices on offer. The rumours are that if any of the front-runners turns out to be true, there may even be talk of film rights; Quentin Tarantino to direct, with Robert de Niro and Al Pacino vying for the lead role.

You may as well come clean now, Dancong. It`ll all come out in the end anyway and it`ll save LOADS of time in the confessional.

(Just watching Flog It! on the telly; it`s from Barrow Hill Roundhouse. I keep thinking I`ve spotted Dave Allen, but it turns out it`s just wishful thinking on my part.)

And Carter and Talbot are both out for another two months.

There are just some things you can never confess to. The only confessional I have ever been in is in the Rectory pub in town with 6 Nuns on a night out. As you know i'm not the religious type but I could well have been after that night. But that was in April so wasn't "the" night in June. I'm not in the habit of admitting anything.

Is there anybody in our number who IS religious? I`m not either, not in the slightest, but I reckon that if we lose today prayers could be called for. Old Red Fatty from Lapland doesn`t seem inclined to do CFC any favours right now despite Dancing`s best-but-apparently-not-quite-good-enough efforts, so I reckon that someone with a hot-line to a benevolent deity might prove to be very useful over the coming weeks/months.

I think I might nip into town this morning and get stocked up with a rosary, a prayer mat, a chakra wheel, a prayer wheel, a khanda and a menorah (I think it`s best to hedge my bets in these circumstances.)

I went to a C of E Primary School and a Methodist Sunday School, so I'm an atheist.

I knew a former Dean Of Music at Durham University who used to ask, "If God exists he's obviously a terrorist, so why would you worship him?" His daughter became a vicar .............

Strange world, but is it strange enough for our half-a-team to beat Salford?

God created man in his own image (except he's immortal and we all get to die - well thanks for that one mate!)

Have been off work all week with a bad back so wont be there today but if I can get down on my knees for a few minutes in the general direction of Mecca at 3-00pm I will gladly give it the royal finger.
Before anybody accuses me of racism I mean the Mecca Bingo next to Lidl on Chatsworth Road of course.

[Devongone]

Pooch would have loved that.

If Mecca were starting now, would it be allowed to call itself Mecca?
