Anyone know how that Ishe Samuel's-Smith that chelsea blagged off of us is getting on now, think i saw he was in the England u20 squad, so must be showing something..

sold to Strasbourg earlier in the window then chelsea bought him back at the end of the window or something dodgy like that...no idea how or where he's played

edit: they loaned him out to swansea after resigning him

Glad I'm not the only one. Thought it might've just been the ale typing.

Nah, you're spot on.

One of the first things he says in the sample on Audible is that he's always felt like a "natural outsider" and that he actively tried to avoid having a career in football. Saying that initially, he didn't like anything about professional football other than playing the game itself.

I've always liked Pat Nevin and I suspect I'm going to like him a whole lot more after listening to his autobiography.

The water levels in the pond have been topped up again and most of the blanket weed seems to have vanished, so I`m assuming it`s been treated

The weather was a big factor dry & hot for Blanket weed ....

I had the misfortune to be in Southport the other week and nearly bumped into Diamond near Primark, but I was too quick for him.

Used to see him all the time at the rugby in Waterloo, ( one of his lads played ) he`s a sound fella.

He is a good lad. I’m assuming he lives somewhere along the Waterloo/Southport stretch as that’s the third time I’ve passed him in Southport in recent memory. Sefton Council should add a little picture of his face to the road signs advertising the fair and beach.
