Perception often different to reality
With the transfer window a mere eight days old, it is more meaningfully considered in a fortnight's time. Nonetheless, early signs are that those pundits predicting a damp squib in Championship outlay, rather than a rampant spending spree, are feeling just a little bit smug.

Little wonder the pressure is on at Town
Here's a post-Christmas cracker that I heard a day or two ago - and I swear not only that I am not trying to pull a fast one; I'm not trying to antagonise any blue noses either.

We are in a right mess on and off the pitch. We are losing money hand over fist despite having massive crowds every week. Half our players are borrowed from other clubs, and we have no idea what the team is going to look like from week to week.

Santa's little Linnets helpers
Welcome to my first blog of 2009. I don't know if it's just me but didn't the Christmas and New Year break go quicker than ever? It only seems like yesterday when I did the last blog and wished people Season's Greetings and now we have already ticked off a week of the New Year.
