DiCanio's Swindon reigned supreme this season
The final piece of our end of season round-up casts us towards League Two, often a proving
ground for exciting new managers and players – but how well did my predictions pan out?
Promoted
Actual – Swindon Town, Shrewsbury Town, Crawley Town, Crewe Alexandra
Predicted – Crawley Town, Rotherham, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth.
There was always something inherently contradictory about Stan Flashman. He is, perhaps, best
remembered as the "King Of The Touts" (often with the prefix "Self-Styled" attached to it), but
when he craved respectability he would rebrand himself as a "Ticket Broker." Ultimately, though, he
himself stated that he didn't care what he was called as long as the money was right.

Seattle Sounder's beat a Beckham and Keane-less LA Galaxy 2-0 over in the MLS last night, with
Fredy Montero's 48th-minute exocet definitely the goal of the game the Colombian striker smashing
his first goal of the season into Bill Gaudette's top corner from roughly the length of a Blue
Whale (90 feet) out.
[O]nce upon a time, the PFA Awards were the undisputed measure of a season's most valuable players.
Voted for by the Professionals themselves, the response to their announcement was one of awed hush
and consent – how could mere onlookers presume to know better than those involved in the rough
and tumble of the actual sport?
This week, Barnet Football Club turned once again to an old hand. Here, Tim Fletcher provides his
reaction: Who did you say we've appointed? It is perhaps typical of the lot of a Barnet supporter
that the moment you go on holiday and beyond reach of a mobile phone, let alone the internet, that
once again we have an end of season change of manager.
It's always a difficult time for a football club when a manager leaves unless that manager is Steve
Evans. The mascara-wearing convicted tax fraudster has left Crawley Town to join their League Two
rivals Rotherham. And his former players couldn't be happier. The squad decide they're "gonna
singing a song ‘cos the fat man's [.
Something that has been gaining a lot of attention recently is that of Raul Meireles' haircut.
He's been described as having a dead rodent on his head, which isn't a bad description.
Whether something has happened to him during his time at Chelsea perhaps he bet with John Terry
that Villas-Boas will not get sacked before the end of the season, and the loser had to get a
god-awful haircut?

En ocasiones no hay que ir a otros paÃses o a otras grandes ligas para encontrar jóvenes
promesas, sino simplemente indagar en las canteras nacionales o en ligas inferiores donde muchos
talentos tratan de hacerse un hueco y pelear por llegar algún dÃa a jugar al máximo nivel de
competición. Un claro ejemplo de esto es el caso de Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, futbolista que al
igual que hace ya varios años harÃa Theo Walcott, firmó por el
Arsenal de Arsène Wenger
procedente del
Southampton con su equipo disputando la League One, equivalente a la tercera
división del fútbol inglés.

"Do me a favour, Sanchez..."
Firstly all these fines for racist abuse, then for homophobic abuse and now former Crazy Gang
member Lawrie Sanchez is predicting a female Premier League manager within 10 years!

Thai season kicks off this weekend. Champions Buriram PEA are no Buriram United, an imaginative
name change and they will be hoping to continue the form of last season when they surprised
absolutely no one by winning the TPL, the FA Cup and the League Cup. They probably never lost a
toss either.

Three out. Two in. Gary Smith has been a busy man since Boro's exit from the FA Cup at
Tottenham.
The three players leaving were all unused substitutes at White Hart Lane and have all moved on
loan deals until the end of the season. Peter Winn has gone back to his roots, joining Grimsby.
Phil Edwards has also returned to his native Lancashire linking up again with former boss John
Coleman at Rochdale.
It's hard to guess what level League of Ireland players would be capable of playing at elsewhere,
at least I have always found it so. When Kevin Doyle was signed by Reading from my own club Cork
City I remember wondering why on earth they overlooked his more prolific strike partner John
O'Flynn. Although O'Flynn has since found success at Barnet and Exeter, there are clearly factors
for consideration above and beyond strike rates, or their status as local stars.

At the beginning of every summer, a list of free agents is circulated amongst British clubs and
managers. Here, Dan Mobbs of the excellent Three Match Ban speaks to a player who unwittingly found
himself on last year's register. Unemployment and the anxious search for work are simply not things
associated with top flight football, as being a free agent from a Premier League club is ostensibly
a financially profitable position to be in; attracting a bumper signing-on fee and an increased
wage packet in the absence of a financial transfer lump.
While the race for the Premier League title hots up, let's not forget there is plenty of
football being played outside the top 20 teams in England.
Here are seven stand-out players from the Championship, all of whom could be playing in the top
flight next season:
Albert Adomah
Despite making almost 200 league appearances for non league Harrow Borough and League Two side
Barnet, Adomah was a largely unknown quantity when he arrived at Bristol City in the summer of
2010.

A lot of column centimetres have been devoted to Huddersfield Town striker Jordan Rhodes in recent
weeks and to have kept his head while others around him have been placing it upon the financial
guillotine has been admirable – yes, that's you David Gold. Three excellent articles in The
Seventy Two have explored the appeal of the man while our own blogger Ben profiled him in these
pages as 2012 drew to its conclusion.
[I]n an article last year, The Economist coined the phrase `Londonism' to refer to what it
regarded as a distinct ideology driven by the office of Mayor. It cited as the central tenets of
`Londonism': enthusiasm for the financial services industry; an openness to immigration; and the
unceasing pursuit of economic growth.

After one hundred and four years, the end now seems to be nigh for Underhill, the home of Barnet
Football Club. An official statement on the clubs website this afternoon confirmed that "The stark
reality is that as a consequence of unresolved ground differences with the council, Barnet FC face
the prospect of a reduced footprint next season and an end to their 100 plus years residence of
their spiritual home", bringing to an end any reasonable doubt over the fact that wherever the club
does end up playing in either its short or long term future, it won't be at the place that it has
called home since 1907.
It's been a cracking couple of weeks down on the Bay. Four wins from five league games, including a
bustling 3-1 victory against big brothers Plymouth, and the news that key players Lee Mansell and
Kevin Nicholson have joined Eunan O'Kane in agreeing long-term contracts mean that Gulls supporters
must be purring with satisfaction.

As the crowd of just over 1,700 filed out of Underhill after a six-three home defeat at the
hands of Burton Albion last weekend, supporters of Barnet Football Club had little option but to
face up to the prospect of another difficult season in League Two again this year. The club is in
second from bottom place in the Football League with only Plymouth Argyle below them, and with
Plymouth now having finally exited administration and Barnet having lost seven of their last eight
matches, a club which has maintained it League Two status by he skin of its teeth for the last
couple of seasons will be looking nervously at the trapdoor which is threatening to open up below
it again.

I know it's hardly a new look for Senor Palacio but the fact that he's now shaved the rest of
his noggin to fully emphasise that horrendous, erroneous braided 'Jedi bog chain' of hair means his
barnet is up for reassessment and yep it's still rubbish.

Please be advised that this post is all in good fun. Except for our comments about Carly's
footwear. We take that snark very seriously.
Just as we got to rethinking our admiration for Carly Cole's storied disinterest in being
fashionable, she (and, more importantly, hubby Joe) have gone and done this, leaving any promise of
her lovely Liverpool makeover in limbo.
Disappointed Lincoln City fans.

Anybody who regularly watches the Premier League will be well aware of the pressure to stay there,
the money, revenues and the prestige that go with being a Premiership club. Chairmen of clubs that
are threatened with relegation are often quoted as saying how much it will cost their respective
clubs should they drop down to the Championship.
