Diary - Friday 3 September 2004

3 September 2004

Hello. Special Guest Diary here again for my now fairly regular Friday stint. Having gotten a right bollocking off normal Diary last week for my half-arsed attempt last Friday, I might be inclined to make more of an effort this time. Or maybe I'm too stubborn for any of that behaviour. Only time will tell.

In the news: absolutely nothing at all really. This is the problem with a Friday Diary - nothing ever happens. There's one of those stories on the OS about how there might possibly, maybe, you never know, perhaps be a striker signed today. Although it's been up for hours now and there's been nary a word since. Maybe instead of writing the Diary I should just have typed "We could have a Diary later today". They've finally managed to at least confirm that Flash is going on loan and not signing permanently for Halifax though, so hats off to them there. Jesus.

For those wanting to listen to an old man droan on and on about what happened in "his day" then the semi-successful former Town manager Lawrie 'Quarter Pounder' McMenemy will be officially opening the restaurant named after him before the game on Saturday. Although it's all booked up, so you'll have to watch it on some screen or other - or so it says.

So over to GET-land then, where the news is always reliable if not always complete or CONTINUED ON PAGE 42. Sorry, I did that last week didn't I? Still, it never stopped them. There's now the almost obligatory weekly interview with a Town player who concludes that we "must try harder and try to convert our chances". Thanks Deano Gordono. Who do we think it'll be next week then? It's must be Crowo's turn. Meanwhile, Slade continues his hunt for a target man with apparently one of a couple of League One players making a loan move to BP. Perhaps. Which league is League One again?

I'll end with a quick injury round-up: Rambo - necko. Again. Sestano - groino. Cheerio.
