So, Forest are going to be a League one side next season then.

Hi, Yes sorry I have been a bit distracted by Christmas but I'm still hoping to have this finished by New Year.

Yeah, I'm a premium member, I thought we weren't supposed to get ads?

Not really, For Blackburn it's imperative they return at the first time of asking else risk losing all their best players, Fair play to the board who realized their mistake, Berg wasn't the man to do that and quickly got rid of him before they slipped out of the promotion picture entirely.

What of it? huh? huh?

Just always had Chinese eyes for some reason, My mum is obviously a bit of a slapper as neither of my parents do.

I got a new watch from my wife which looks rather swanky as well as a new Ted Baker wallet from my brother which I'm chuffed with, His new antique rifle was undoubtedly the coolest present of the day though.
My mum and stepdad brought me the highway code and theory test books as well as giving me £100 towards driving lessons.

Over to my Nan's for the extended family christmas party tomorrow night so I'll likely get a nice wedge of cash and a cupboard full of chocolate.

The wife and I


with my grandad and Rosie the dog

Have a great Christmas everyone.

I forgot about the fat Ronaldo.

They still sell them in the market hall here in Leicestershire. Mind you I can remember some old guy turning to me and remarking 'Is it me or is it getting darker earlier?' as a black fella walked past.

I saw in the paper some down in Devon where the residents of some little village all wrapped themselves in tin foil to repel and alien mind control thing on the 21st.

Got to love the West country.

To amuse myself whilst doing the washing up I was thinking about who would make up an XI of my all-time favorite players, They don't have to be the best players ever, Just ones you've always had a soft spot for or you get a tinge of excitement whenever they get hold of the ball.

Here's the ones I came up with;

GK - Peter Schmeichel - When I started playing football I always wanted to be in goal, The big Dane was the inspiration for that, fantastic shotstopper who occasionly popped up with a goal at the other end.
RB - Cafu - So composed at the back and could also mix it up further forward.
CB - Olof Mellberg - I always loved Mellberg's take no prisoner approach but he was also an excellent defender who has roughed up cu*t's such as Robbie Savage and Freddie Lljungberg.
CB - Andy Butler - Influential captain in the last few years for Walsall, His commitment and determination always lifts the team.
LB - Roberto Carlos - I never thought he was a fantastic defender but his long range capabilities always made him a threat and fasinating to watch, That free kick against France still baffles me.
RM - David Beckham - His ability to cross and pick out a pass as well as his free kicks endear him to me, That free kick in stoppage time against Greece to qualify England for the World cup was an amazing moment.
CM - Steven Gerrard - His work rate has always been top notch, It seems a shame he will probarly never win the Premiership so he can claim to have won everything at club level.
CM - Thomas Hitzlsperger - Almost the same reasoning as Roberto Carlos, Not the greatest player technically but his long range shots made him thrilling to watch at Villa, Plus he used to live on my road.
LM - Ryan Giggs - His dedication and longevity has made him a Premiership legend, who particuarly in his younger years was thrilling to watch bomb down the left flank.
ST - Alan Shearer - The one and only player I've ever paid to have lettered on a football shirt, His finishing was as deadly as I think I've ever seen, also a fantastic leader.
ST - Leo Messi - Just plain exciting to watch, every time he touches the ball you expect him to do something amazing.

S1 - Jimmy Walker - Has made over 500 appearances for Walsall over two spells, still a top notch shot stopper who loves to feed off the fans who love him just as much.
S2 -Stuart Pearce - So passionate and hard as nails on the pitch, His face after he scored in that Euro96 shootout was one of my Favorite footballing moments.
S3 - Frank Lampard - Same as Gerrard except with last years Champions League win he actually has won everything.
S4 - Emmanuel Ledesma - Although he only played for Walsall on loan he twice saved us from relegation, his Argie skill and pace were so out of place in League One and he tore apart defenses. Now at Middlesbrough.
S5 - Thierry Henry - Genius finisher of the ball, much like Messi he was/is always exciting to watch because he was capable of almost anything.

It seems I shall not be granted the opportunity to build a Wrexham squad of my own after all....

I know we ultimately missed out on the play-off's which was disappointing but this sacking seems incredibly harsh as I only got half a season in charge, In that half a season I didn't lose a league game until the final month of the season, a run of over twenty matches unbeaten, including taking the club all the way to the FA Trophy final.

Time to begin looking elsewhere I guess.

She can't just sack you, you have to be paid what your owed or you can take her to tribuneral.

THREE POINTS!!!

After sixteen games without a win, Hopefully this can be a turning point.

Winning 1-0 against Colchester the moment, Bit annoyed I'm missing it but I'm now skint after Christmas shopping.

I just pray we can keep hold of the f'n lead for once today.

Yeah, I blame the Welsh. Sheep diddling bottle drops.

April 2013

Well, after being filled with optimimisim and good cheer for the last few months things exploded in our faces right when it mattered, Of course a first defeat in the league had been coming but I didn't expect it to be quite so vicious as we were thrashed 5-1 by Macclesfield in an utterly appalling performance where I could quite easily have chucked the laptop out the window. We did bounce back with an unconvincing win over Woking however our play-off hopes were put out of their misery with further shi*e performances against Kidderminster and champions Mansfield to ruin what had promised to be a fantastic first six months in charge at the Racecourse for me.



My only consolation is that if I'm offered a new contract here at Wrexham (Which is by no means certain) I can at least begin to build my own squad for next season, If I'm not kept on here I think I shall head for the Welsh Premier League in search of success.

Half price to you.

I got a £20 Christmas tip from a customer today, her reasoning? She enjoys looking at my arse when I go to the lottery machine for her. I knew my body would make me money one day.

Mine appears to be working fine, perhaps the update didn't install correctly on your computer, try right clicking on FM within steam and clicking verify cache content.

I think I've now finished shopping, Just got to wrap it all up now.

March was a long and difficult month or us but we have come out of it again unbeaten in the league, a run which now stretches twenty games under myself and 22 in all. Of course the aforementioned FA Trophy final defeat was gutting but with just four games to go until the end of the season it's essential we don't let it get us down and focus on cementing our place in the play-off's.



So we are finally in the top five, level on points with Gateshead in sixth, we just have to keep our cool now and continue the amazing run we have been on in the second half of this season.

Na, It's just because it's a roll over tonight, Our machine always dies on rollover days.

There was heartbreak in North Wales this afternoon as Wrexham suffered a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of Stockport as the Hatters clinched the FA Trophy for the first time in their history at the culmination of a riveting final at the home of English football.
Wrexham manger Rob Brydon was forced to field several unfamiliar names for the showpiece, Cameroonian goalkeeper Joslain Mayebi who was away for his first international call up, as was Faroese winger Adrian Cieslewicz and emerging forwards Robert Ogleby and Nathan Salathiel both of who were representing the Welsh under-21's against Norway. The red dragons were also missing regulars Andy Bishop and Brett Lucas forcing Brydon to draft in reserve goalkeeper Andy Coughlin and forgotten striker Danny Wright as well as filling his substitutes bench with untested academy players.

Despite the personnel problems the Dragons got off to a good start, testing County's defense with several teasing balls into the area, The breakthrough came mid-way through the first half as Stockport failed to clear a Jason Banton corner, veteran midfielder Dean Keates was on hand to slam home the loose ball from within the crowded penalty area.
The red contingent of the 40,000 strong crowd at Wembley could have been forgiven for thinking the trophy was on it's way across the border for the very first time when Neil Ashton who was being asked to play out of position on the left flank due to the missing Cieslewicz burst inside from a wide position and slammed home from the edge of the box to put the Reds 2-0 up after just half an hour.

Stockport valienty flowed forward to avoid going into half time two down and allowing Wrexham to close up shop in the second period, They got the break they we looking for with just three minutes left on the clock, cue winger Sean Newton to curl a stunning 30 yard freekick past Coughlin in the Wrexham goal to set up a juicy second half.
Spurred on by pulling a goal back, Stockport came flying out of the traps in the second half, Taking just eight minutes to draw level, Man of the match Newton again scoring from distance, However this time he had to thank the goalkeeper rather than personal skill as 20 year old Coughlin who was clearly not relishing the big occasion completely fluffed his lines when dealing with what should have been a routine catch from Newton, missing the ball entirely and allowing it to drop over his head into the net, much to the dismay of his team mates who had not long ago been strolling towards the silverware.
The remainder of normal time proved to be a flowing and entertaining affair as both sides pushed forward to keen to avoid having to play another half an hour with both having important mid-week games in the Conference play-off race, The Welsh side perhaps had the best opportunity when Brett Ormerod fired straight at the goalkeeper from four yards out but the prospect of extra time had an abounding air of inevitability.

Brydon played his chance cards at the start of extra time, bringing on rookies Nicolas Rushden (21) and Elliot Scotcher (18) for their debut's, It wasn't long before this gamble paid dividends as Scotcher threaded a delightful through ball for Rushden who showed a compose that belied his tender age by rounding Stockport keeper Ian Ormson to put the Dragons back on top with half time in extra time approaching, However the Clwyd based side again couldn't hold on, 19 year old fullback Anthony Stevens was adjudged to have handled a Newton corner right at the end of the first period, a decision which looked harsh on the subsequent replays. Stockport forward Liam Dickinson grasped the lifeline his side had been handed by smashing the ball beyond Coughlin's dive to again level the game.

The final period of the game passed by without much incident as cramp really began to bite the players as the game came down to the dreaded penalty shootout, Both teams scored their first three kicks, Wrexham's usually reliable centreback Chris Westwood was first to miss as his shot was saved well by Ormson to his right, Stockport's Tom Kilbey scored his subsequent penalty putting the weight of the world on 18 year old Scotcher who had only kicked a ball for the first time professionally just thirty minutes before hand, The midfielder was unable to convert as Ormson again saved low to his right, handing Stockport County their first ever FA Trophy victory.

In his post match press conference Brydon was keen to absolve Scotcher of any blame by pointing out that much more famous and successful footballers than the rookie have missed decisive kick's under such pressure. The 47 year old also expressed his bitter disappointment that they game had come down to a penalty shootout in the first place after his side had lead 2- before concluding that the club must put this heartbreak behind them and start focusing on Tuesdays game with the Conference's whipping boys Hyde FC with the Dragons looking to secure a play-off place and a possible return to Wembley next month.
