    Nose bleed stuff and other assorted short stories!

With the aid of a massive dollop of hindsight it was probably was the right time that the Cowleys moved on when they did. I have...

    1983 and all that

    Jan the 31st 1983 was the last time the Imps were top of the 3rd tier of English football. A generation ago, one would have to in thier early 40s to remember this nosebleed stuff.

    How many promising Imps pre seasons has been followed by a season abject disappointment? I smell the law of inverse law of proportion coming into play.

    Bolton

    Expected to go into administration in the next 24 hours. It very much looks like they will be starting next season with a 15 point deduction. 12 for going into admin and a further 3 for not fulfilling a fixture.
