Come on Down Mr Julian Joachim

Joachim
& turn yourself into a Kings Lynn Legend. After many many ex league players just using us for the money it looks like we may finally have one that can still do the business. All of the Darlington forums are praising the "Jockey"and several posters are calling us an ambitious club!! Ssh! now please,we don't want the rest of the BSN to know anything about us until at least Christmas when we are stuck in that top 3 about to make the second push for the Conference premier.
Well done DB for waking up and smelling the coffee before emptying the nippers nappy.
Matty Matty Matty,you have made the wrong choice but Mr Hay will look after you.
Ambition?? or are you still doing overtime sorting out T5's luggage.Cheers for all the Quality moments that you gave us.
Have you grabbed a bit of that 22/1 yet being offered at bet sq. Terrific value after all of the skinny prices we have been for the past few seasons. Each way is the must have bet.
I read all of the journey men are also trying to hold the club to ransom. Well done El-Chairman for telling them were to get off and to join that dole queue which is getting longer by the day.
Bring on those fixtures and lets get this season organised for travel.£19 travelodge rooms anyone? or is it a bit of early season camping? Wrists at the ready boyz!

Hemingway on a tuesday

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them,so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brace impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

ARTY PROTEST
Artist Mimosa Pal has been driving round Helsinki on a vulva-shaped bike to protest about living in a phallocentric society – and she’s designed it as a taxi so she can invite people inside. We’re not sure it does that much for feminism but it’s certainly an eye-catching effort.

This Week is National Carers week

This is from a recent survey and is a channel4 article.

Carers are ignoring their own health worries, storing up problems for themselves, the people they look after and the state, a survey has shown.
Six million people in the UK look after a sick, frail or disabled relative, partner or friend. Their unpaid work saves the state an estimated £87 billion according to a Leeds University study, so any long-term sickness could land the Government with an unexpected bill.
The new poll of almost 2,000 people, carried out to mark Carers Week which begins on Monday, found more than three-quarters (77%) believed their own health had suffered as a result of their responsibilities and almost a fifth (19%) ignored feeling ill "all the time".
More than two-thirds (67%) of those who responded said they had put off seeing a doctor on more than one occasion because they had so little time and struggled to leave the house for appointments.
Almost two-thirds (65%) said their own health problems had affected their ability to care and 96% said they were "very concerned" about who would take over their responsibilities as a carer if they fell ill.
The effect caring has on a person's life has been summed up in a spoof job advert released to mark Carers Week. The advert requests applicants with the stamina to work continual long hours, who can be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can deal with stress and isolation.
More than half (55%) of those who responded to the survey said they had been unable to talk to anyone about their health worries, a figure highlighting the isolation which carers often report feeling.
Seven out of 10 (71%) people surveyed said they had not had one week of holiday or free time in the past 12 months when they were free from the responsibility of caring.
More than half (60%) of those who were also in paid employment said they had used part of their annual leave to devote more time to their role as a carer and a fifth (20%) said they had used more than 10 days of their holiday allocation to care for a loved one.
Paul Matz, Carers Week manager, said he was "saddened" but not surprised by the survey results. "It is vital that health professionals on the ground recognise the needs of people who are caring for others and ensure they are receiving the help and attention they deserve," he said.

I worked it out a few months ago that by doing my caring role i am saving the government a minimum of £100,000 a year (this is with our benefits taken off) and for this i get an hourly wage of 30p for a 160 hr week.
What would happen if the carers in the country simply walked away from what they do ?

So we lose a centre half,well discard would be a better word and lets face it.He would of done incredibly well to stay fit and cut the mustard in the BSN.Then acquire another centre half who is described as dogged yet limited!.I wonder why he was not offered another contract at Tamworth when they got relegated from the conference despite playing 38 times that season? Conspiracy theory ? No just curious,actually it looks like i have found the reason as he trialled at a couple of conference clubs before his injury.The boy Weaver could do us a good job for us if he wants to.
David Bridgewater ? Well i guess we will see as any information on him is limited.
The new admission prices are about right for the league (£10 & £12 std prices) and not too punishing for the occasional fans.You have to say that the early bird season ticket was a bargain at only £7.38 per game to stand.Even the new season ticket prices are pretty good at £8.33 to stand and £9.76 to sit per game.
Dean Ashton,not good enough for England and neither is Defoe on last nights and the USA display.His inability to finish his easiest chances proves this.
Sven,Sven,Sven just why did you get sacked apart from the obvious that a crooked Thai man knows little about anything except dodgy deals,or does he? Sven showed an inability to change things around in his team just like he did for England. As soon as the premier league sussed out the way his side played they stopped winning,Simple.This is a failing that we had last year(we drew far too many games and got away with it just)and one that worries me greatly. KW showed a total inability in changing things on the pitch after other sides did, with Gloucester away more than illustrating my point.Lets hope he has learnt something from last season or we are going to be in for some rough rides and i don't just mean my dodgy driving on the way home.

Stuck

"Oh! Donny Donny Donny Donny! whoo ooooooo etc"...sung to the kaiser chiefs "ruby" , how ironic is that now Mr overrated Moyles . Ha ha ha ! Still stuck where they deserve to be and with Hull in the premier league.. even funnier.At least they can play a Manchester(ish) side in Stockport next season.Watch your backs Leeds,FC United are just behind you or even more realistically Kings Lynn Town.
Our first signing Mr
Bridgewater ? Difficult to find out much about him and i missed him against us at Bromsgrove so i will have to trust Judgement for the time being.
North or South? Am i alone in guessing that all is still not resolved over this issue.All these financial issues with clubs is making the conferences look like a right bunch of
muppets, not that Uncle Den needs much help (now just where is that play-off final being held ?)
& back to the top subject if someone wants to get rid of that talentless prick "Comedy Dave" who has ridden on Moyles back for most his career in any violent way, I will donate a pack of Spangles with one missing.

Greed,Lies and Revenge

So the Toad joins Liar Holloway on the dole, neither a surprise but 5 months in charge roughly each. What does this say about the state of our game. Please lets give managers a bloody chance to really prove how crap they are please. I read that the toad signed a 4 year contract in December WTF? How much compensation is that?
I see that Norfolk's second side are bringing in even more of Roeder's Mates (this time a goalkeeping coach) and they are telling lies as well!Naughty!Naughty!When is a head scout not being sacked?When Neil Doncaster says so.Ah!but he was relieved of his duties yesterday, funny that.Even funnier Bryn Gunn,he who has been,well i never did figure out what he really did at their club is now Head Scout!Apparently he is well connected.
Dean Windass... What do you say,what a Hero this man is. He cried as many tears at winning as Terry did over the miss.On this subject again has everyone forgot that it was Anelka (who doesn't seem to give a monkeys) that missed the final penalty.Anelka is the one that should have sulky effigies hung from Kings Road hanging baskets.
Off topic Adam Crozier,he who had a brief time fucking up our beautiful game picked up a wage packet of 3 million last year while attempting to rip apart the company that he works for.Another candidate for the hanging basket scenario so his workers can post something up his arse everytime they walk past him.

Just The Way it is

What a great game full of the best of the English game and an incredibly cruel way to finish a game.
Why can't teams do the extra time and then play until somebody scores? TV timings and sponsorship? MONEY i suppose is the answer to this question.
Despite loving the fact that the side I follow has won it is tinged with sadness that the result doesn't match the evenness of the game. Two bits of woodwork ,3 great saves and a Terry headed deflection all made for a good entertainment.
Sometimes all is not fair,much like everything that is around us.

Utd

As those that know me I am a Man Utd follower and tend to keep my loyalties to myself .I did my supporting in the late 80's and the early 90's (season ticket holder for many years)with a large dose of games before the late eighties.I have got into many discussions where i have been accused of being a glory boy, i can assure you Man Utd in the 80's were pretty much shite.In fact my first ever game was the game vs Man City when Dennis Law sent us down (well sort of we were down anyhow) so my baptism was far from glory.I do generally refuse to justify myself to most and tend to keep the past as exactly that,safely stored in what is left of a pickled and chemically shot memory but tonight has got me more than a little excited.
Let tonight take Utd to 17 and 3.

On the topic of Kings Lynn i see we have a few players taking part in the non league player tradition of thinking that they are worth more and wanted by every one until pre season starts and they are without a club.
Nothing like the ego of a non league player who has just won the league.

Grassed up by Google

This was posted by Mr Angry at I am livid

A computer is a very personal thing. It is a bit like a car, or a girlfriend, in that it can be quite an uncomfortable experience letting some else have a go in it. Especially if you really really like the car.

Computers can be similar in that they are generally only used by yourself, and over time they learn your habits and idiosyncrasies. It can be as hard to navigate your way round someone else’s computer as it is to find the G Spot on someone else’s girlfriend.

The thing about computers though, is that they don’t immediately recognise they are being used by someone else, which is sort of the where the girlfriend analogy falls down a bit, unless you are using Rohypnol. Because they don’t realise they are being used by someone else, they can betray you in the click of a mouse button.

A friend was using my Mac to check some train times and had launched Google to search for the correct website to use.

“Ummm….” they began questioningly in my direction, “When did you search for Transvestites in London?”

“What?!”

“I only got as far as putting in the ‘Tra’ of ‘Train timetable’ when Google suggested I might be searching for Transvestites in London, as it was a search you’d done previously. So, when did you want to find a cockney ladyboy?”

This was disappointing in the extreme. Like a prison snitch looking to get credit for a tiny piece of information it had managed to gather, Google was grassing me up. As a result, I was then forced into a long explanation of how that search was conducted as part of a project I had been involved in, and how it really is not what it seems, out of context. After a couple of hours they finally conceded that it was not as they had first thought, and it really was a completely innocent bit of research and not conclusive proof that I am a pervert.

So, let this be a lesson to you. Just like the friend’s girlfriend who gets drunk and lets slip your little secret, you should be very careful what you share with your computer.

Comment

So Craig Fleming is setting up his own personal fitness training company. As a Kings Lynn fan this seems like a rather large dose of irony.Guess the wages from his free ride at Kings Lynn have set him on his merry way or at least paid for the website.Lock up the milf Craig is coming training.
Well done the Wembley stewards for making sure that the tattooed wigged book seller did not have that bloody annoying hand bell at the cup final, it made the inability of both sides to pass and keep the ball almost tolerable.
More tomorrow if i can wade through all of Champions League final diatribe,which makes the task of actually getting to Moscow seem easy.

Saturday's Musings

So it's FA Cup Final Day again and this year without the so called big sides. I have to say i find it very refreshing that smaller sides (no disrespect to Pompey meant) are fighting to win the biggest domestic cup competition in the world even if the press haven't seemed very interested since the semi final stage.So who's going to win? It's got to be the English side,especially after reading about some of the lovely antics that the Welsh followers got up to before the semi final.If you want independence then as far as i am concerned it is all yours.Lets hope the good youth of Bridgend don't get to upset when the Welsh lose.It won't be linked though!
Tomorrow sees Cambridge taking their place back in football league.I wonder how many wagon jumpers will be there and if they even knew where The Shabby Stadium was when Cambridge got relegated.I did have time for the supporters of
Exeter when they played us but after the way that our Salisbury friends got treated a couple of seasons ago any small affinity i had for them simply faded away.
Leeds and
Doncaster at Wembley against each other, now that is a fun one for the London baton boys/girls. If i can find any links to CCTV cameras around the city they will certainly bring me more enjoyment than watching the game.Donny will win as well cos "WE ALL HATE LEEDS AND LEEDS AND LEEDS,,,LEEDS AND LEEDS AND LEEDS".Fifteen points,ha! it should of been demotion to the Conference North.
Glenn
Roeder what a nasty man.Has he got any backroom staff left? I read Chris Lakey's column in the EDP in the week about the club having to move from a far too soft family club to one that is ruthless and brutal.It seems to me Roeder is upsetting/bullying all of the old staff in one way or another so they leave in order to replace them with all of the staff that failed with him at his previous clubs.If he thinks that by firing anyone that criticises him he will make Norwich great then he is doomed to failure.I wonder which part of the Norwich area is now being turned into little "Y I Man" street? Norfolk's second side will be fighting relegation again next season

So North We Go it Seems

I guess the leagues were compiled on total miles travelled if we are in the north because road network and local games couldn't of been looked at all.How annoyed must Worcester and Redditch be at being put South. They now only have one local game and all the rest must be and hour and a half away at the very least. Just who is it that makes these decisions? Do they travel the country,? Do they actually have any idea of what it is like to go North from Kings Lynn? It takes an hour plus just to get to Newark with all of the extra cameras and extra white lines and this is without the general traffic.To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Good Bless Uncle Dennis, why is it when we eventually get it together and get out of the Southern League he moves up a year before to cause us more grief.
On top this off,although in my more sensible moments i will admit i just want to stay up next season,this league will be much harder to get out of now with all of the relegated conference premier sides falling into it.
On a positive spin we do renew old rivalries with Tamworth,Nuneaton, maybe Boston and get to go to Newcastle twice(overnight) and Fleetwood (Blackpool-YUK! overnight).
What's the betting that the Workington game will end up being midweek for one reason or another

Snippets

A great goal that helped settle last nights championship(I will never get used to calling it that)from Lee Trundle from a game that despite being enjoyable enough contained two sides that would both struggle in the premiership.Will Trundle be another Healy though if Bristol get there? I haven't looked but i would guess they have plans for a new ground if they plan to stay in the top flight,competing with a ground that only hold just over 20,000 will not do them any favours.
I do hope that Hull get to the play-off final tonight and they dispense with one of the dullest sides i have seen play this season.Why has one of the country's brightest managerial prospects "Adie Boothroyd" got his side playing such crap football.

Onto more negative sides and Rangers. so will it be Rangers or Zenit who lift the UEFA cup? I care not either way as long as its a good game and the goals flow.Lets hope Zenit score early and Rangers have to attack unlike how they did in the semi final second leg in Italy.
And off topic now i read today that the European Commission has awarded a group of British Scientists a grant to see if a Robot can safely stir soup. how much did they get awarded i hear you sigh.It was the sum of One million pounds.Yes i said One million pounds. I think this outrageous for many reasons but especially so when we have massive natural disasters occurring all over the world that need aid money.
