"Andy Peaks tells me he's added defender Blaize Punter and midfielder Fernando Bell-Toxtle to his @AFCRD squad ahead of the opening day."

Don your sombreros, I have a cracking little song lined up for Fernando Bell-Toxtle to the tune of la bamba

Surely Abba's Fernando is the obvious song to adapt.

Is that an indication that Heath will start as no 1?

He was on the bench for Barwell yesterday.

One of 2 goal scorers for Sileby in a 1-3 defeat, I never did manage to become fluent in UCL.

I see that Andy Hall has resigned his player/manager's role at Sileby after less than 7 weeks and has left the club.

Claudio Hoban re-signs due to injuries at the club - does that mean that Fairlamb or Gyasi have picked up an injury?

Guess Luke's injury may be worse than thought Gyasi did get clattered a couple of times last week against Welly. Bloody pain as they had looked good so far, still Claudio's not a bad replacement is he assuming it's one of the above 2 he is covering. Possibly playing 3 wide men to make up for the shortage last season.

Great news to start the day, easily the best winger we have had (although Fairlamb looks special). Great to have him back.
