The summer could be interesting - June 15th 2011 - Matt Bloomfield went on holiday to .......?

Saturday at 3 o'clock would be perfect for me

wont be Thursday (Wrexham play Tuesday) or Monday (international break).

Chesterfield’s John Fleck has been taken to hospital after falling ill during the warm up, ahead of their match against Doncaster. According to posters on Twitter, it’s the second time it’s happened to him. I hope he gets the support he needs if it’s something more serious.

Sweet, poignant article from Nutmeg reprinted in today's Guardian about lifelong fans who suddenly stop going to games. Most of us will have known one or more similar over the years - characters you'd see at every game until one day, they're not there anymore.

If anything, this has been one our most diverse windows ever. Players signed from leagues in four different countries.

I'm hoping his main skill is stopping the ball going into our net, rather than how he jibber jabbers on interviews.

Whilst the game v Leicester was epic, I was there at Selhurst Park for the 5th round game against Wimbledon. And what that game was. It had everything. Taylor saving a penalty, down to ten men for almost an hour, extra time and scoring in the dying seconds to force the game to penalties. And the ecstasy changing to panic trying to get the final train back to Wycombe from Marylebone. 2001 was one hell of a season. I love this tournament.

Wow! Observe someone to be somewhat taciturn and uneffusive compared to other interviewees and suddenly I am suggesting he's an abnormal serial killer rather than my preferred giggling sports celebrity? I fear even the gasroom is leaving me behind.

Wowsa, what an interview. Setting a high benchmark for those that are to follow.

So pleasing to hear David saying that he is content with his situation, which is comforting to us as supporters.
