    I was worried when Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink signed, that he might be a disinterested, overweight has-been looking for one final payout. How wrong I was. An who'd have thought that after a glittering career with us he'd go on to be the greatest manager in Northampton's history? Oh.

    Now has been sacked

    Yes, known only for being the York keeper who helped beat Man Utd.

    This. Fosu stunned me. I was sure we brought him in as a development player.

    Me!
    First I heard of him was when my work mate berated me for us having stolen him. He said he was a real talent, and I think I passed that on, on here?

    That is a good point, we weren't over excited at first but it didn't take long!

    No, I am sorry. That is unacceptable.

    I didn’t think Bent would cut it in the Prem.

    Turned out pretty wrong on that one

    Paul Williams. Sure he was playing non-league.

    David Whyte. Was it him and the deity known as Morts we got for Pitcher? Brilliant, brilliant player.

    Yes, definitely - there are quite a few when you put your mind to it. Probably warns us not to judge too early!

    I remember when we signed Simon Webster, in those pre-internet days one of the only things that we knew about him, was that he was part of the Huddersfield back four that lost 10-0 to Man City - when Man City were shit house and had players like Jeff Whitley and Steve Redmond playing for them.

    Consequently I was a little underwhelmed by his signing, but he proved to be a fantastic player for us, and would have had a good career in the PL had he not been 'done' by Julian Dicks.
