Noted ladies man Sven Goran Eriksson was met by a disturbing sight in the Notts County players' lounge following his club's 1-1 draw with Burton Albion on Saturday. From The Independent:

Kitted out in short skirts, high heels, padded bras and lipstick, the daring duo were not, as one fellow spectator in the Derek Pavis Stand mischievously suggested, Ulrika Jonsson and Faria Alam, but the avowedly heterosexual footballers Rob Purdie [above, left], of Oldham Athletic, and father-of-two Neil Austin [above, right], from Hartlepool United.

The Royals thumped Burton Albion last night by 5 goals to 1. Five thousand people saw a team of youngsters (hang on, ain't that the first team!?) dish out a hammering to the league new boys. Five Royals made their full debut, and Nicholas Bignall bagged a brace. Whatever you say about the opposition this is a fantastic result, and Brendan Rodgers seems to be working some magic already.

The following post IS A BIT OF FUN, not to be taken seriously and certainly not for anyone to have a punt.
The title of the post is called "Teams to watch out for." Here is my list for the Premiership, Championship, League One, League Two & throughout the season there will be regular updates on the progress of each team. Click to continue reading...

As we move closer to the start of the season, it's at this stage that fans start analysing the squad list, namely which players to sign and who of the current squad will be sold, and who they hope won't be sold.

And among all the names that will flicker up briefly on transfer sites over the coming weeks, there will be some genuine quality - players to get both the fans and the board excited.

The club have confirmed that the fixtures for next season will be released on July 3rd. Not long now until we can really start talking about Boro again and start planning them long trips to Gateshead and Chester City that await us in the coming months. Unlike the fixtures in the football league and Premier League, the fixture list in the BSP gets decided by hand, so holiday fixtures can be evenly distributed and the fixtures meet local policing standards.

It seems like the football season has only just finished but the new campaign is already starting to take shape after the Premier and Football League fixture lists were announced.

It doesn't matter who you are, Brazil, Barcelona or Burton Albion, there are times when you just have to win ugly. And this victory was the illegitimate offspring of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Donatella Versace. Billed as "The East Coast Derby" the match had attracted a sizeable crowd to Srinthorn (officially 4,300) including a fair few from Rayong - that still didn't stop me from attempting to get the Scoreboard Enders to join me in a chorus of "You must have come in a dinghy".

Not much Boro news about at the moment as everyone waits to see who is on the 'out' list at Broadhall Way. I assume the club will announce who won't be retained in the next week or so. It's expected that Callum Willock, Eddie Anaclet and John Martin were 3 of the 4 players that GW said would be released or transferred.

No, sadly not Canberra, not yet..but Burton Albion.
I was born in the Brewing Capital of the World, surrounded by Brian Clough League Champs Derby County, European Cup winners Aston Villa, and Notts Forest, and the super Baggies of the 1980's.
Burton is just eight miles from Derby, 21 from Nottingham, 25 from Birmingham, 30 Stoke, 25 Leicester, 25 West Brom, 25 Wolves so plenty of local football around over the years. Click to continue reading...

19:45 Burton Albion v Oxford United, Blue Square Premier, Setanta Sports 1
Burton could clinch the Blue Square Premier title tonight if they can grab at least a draw against an Oxford side unbeaten in ten matches. Burton will be all too pleased if they can get everything over and done with tonight as they've been wobbling a bit of late, but Oxford are hell bent on a play-off place.

Top-of-the-table Burton suffered a shock 4-0 defeat to Crawley Town on Saturday. Still, if you're going to crash and burn, best do it when (a) you're nine points clear at the top, and (b) your nearest rivals - Cambridge and Histon - lose at the same time. Click to continue reading...

History could be made tonight as Burton Albion go after a record-breaking 12th consecutive win in the Blue Square Premier in a game that may well underline their credentials as the team to beat in the league this year.
