Sorry. Little bit of SNOS Fury there. Seems to be a daily ailment. I won't read any more. Who knows what lurking horrors await in Player Sign PlayPal and FA Trophy Draw - Redditch at home. If I had it my way I'd amalgamate all the Town sites into one super site. Edited by us, of course.

In the absence of that, thank the Lord for the professionals over at the Grimmo Telegraph. Woods is eyeing a Wembley return after the FA Trophy draw paired Town with Redditch United. The Riby Square researchers reveal that "the route to the final at Wembley on May 7 includes four rounds, followed by a two-legged semi-final", which on paper looks like an short and simple ride. The Town manager seems to reckon similar, hoping Town live up to their supposed billing as favourites for the trophy "as an ex-League club". But with Redditch rooted near the foot of the Conference North, we know how these things work, eh, readers.

There's more positive news as der yoof have made it through to the third round of the FA Youth Cup, after a penalty shoot-out at Port Vale. The kids' reward is a home tie against Burnley. No word on how many further rounds they have, nor where the final is held. Anyone?

I started this short diary off with swearing, and I'll sign off with some swearing thanks to a rather splendid interview with Barry Conlon. "I've been a dick along the way," the Big Bad Fucker teases. And with that, dear reader, go and read more. It's a fascinating look into the mind of a journeyman footballer who pissed away his career.
