It was the blind leading the blind when a local radio station called on me one autumn Friday in 2001 to comment on my club Kingstonian's descent into "administration." Much of the interview through which I semi-bluffed my way centred on how administration did not equate to liquidation. If only I knew then what I know now.

PFA becomes music promoter The last project Des Walker, Teddy Sheringham, Stuart Pearce and Les Ferdinand worked on together was probably World Cup qualification for USA 94, and we all know how that ended.

Stevenage visit Cheltenham Town this weekend. The Robins, now managed by former Kidderminster boss Mark Yates, will be looking forward to getting back to winning ways after a disappointing defeat against Barnet last weekend. I've caught up with Mark from the Robins Nest Forum to have a talk about Cheltenham's aims for the new season, what they remember from their days in the Conference plus their thoughts on former Boro star Barry Hayles.

Former Celtic and Bristol City midfielder Evander Sno is currently in hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack during the 63rd minute of an Ajax reserves game yesterday.

Medical staff spent a frantic ten minutes trying to revive Sno with a defibrillator whilst still on the pitch, after the 23-year-old collapsed during the tie with Vitesse Arnhem's second string.

James Darts' More Knowledge precedes his previous football data book ‘Knowledge'. Again it continues in the same, you throw questions at me, I answer them, format...

Moradores de Bristol, cidade com mais de 410 mil habitantes e dois times profissionais, se voltam contra a ideia da prefeitura, que anuncia a contrução de um estádio para 30 mil torcedores. Querem preservar a área e duvidam da necessidade de uma nova "arena" por lá.
O Bristol City, da segunda divisão, é dono do velho (é de 1903) Ashton Gate, para 21.

Ugly football or negative football is often derided as being bad for the game, however I believe that ugly, hard working, strong tackling are qualities not only invaluable for a team to succeed but also good for the game as a whole and contrary to popular belief good and exciting to watch.

Brad Gilbert the former tennis player and coach to players such as Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and Andy Murray was famed for his unbreakable will and ability to "win ugly".

Bristol City have today announced the season-long loan of Tottenham Hotspur youngster Steven Caulker.

The 19 year-old defender has been allowed to join the Championship side for the rest of the season which see's him join fellow parent-team-mate Danny Rose at Ashton Gate.

Caulker, who played in Spurs' 4-1 defeat to local rivals in the Carling Cup last week, can be called back to White Hart Lane after the first 28-days of the loan if needed.

'Twas only a fortnight ago that Pies brought you the shocking news that former Celtic and Bristol City midfielder Evander Sno suffered a heart attack on the field whilst playing for the Ajax reserves.

After coming on as a half-time substitute, Sno collapsed minutes later and had to be defibrillated on the turf before he regained consciousness.

Adkins in reflective mood.

There really is nowhere to hide for poor, helpless Scunthorpe. Vultures the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, predators are lying in the overgrowth, waiting to pounce on Scunny's crown jewels. With giants Glasgow Celtic from the north of the isle snapping up star striker Gary Hooper for a £2.

Holding up a football is just a cunning strategy to detract attention from Garland's enormous and unnecessary combover. When you have enough hair for 11 men, why would you opt for a combover style? Mysterious. I call this the Executive Combover Deluxe.

Southampton are believed to be leading the chase for Liverpool starlet Nathan Eccleston, with Bristol City also in hot pursuit.

It is thought that the 19 year old striker would be expected to be able to leave the club for another loan spell, to enhance his first team experience and gain a regular amount of playing time at a higher level, than he is presently experiencing predominantly in the Reserves.
