He's in his eighties now... mind you I do like Music to Watch Girls By.


Don't know much about the musician, but the footballer is only 25, so still got years to go. May be a real asset if we were to get him!

In all seriousness he'd be a great signing.

Seems too good to be the kind of player we'd get though.

It is a really sad state of affairs.

Think of the genuine excitement a signing like him would bring... proven, approaching his prime rather than declining and a player other teams may actually want.

I think Andy Williams to Swindon is all but done. He was on prolific last season after season upon season of needing 250 chances to score a goal, so im not overally bothered if we dont get him. Stuart Beavon wouldnt go a miss though.

Don't think Andy Williams will go Swindon. Think their sights will be a lot higher. Does anyone think a 39 year old Kevin Phillips mite be worth another shot if he gets released by Blackpool?

Would be worth a punt, legs a bit stronger than Mackens were, but hold on amin...I bet he would need paying! Ah so there goes another dream!. Anyway who says we need a striker? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm told a physcologist has been appointed for a stint down at the Bezza, to try to instil in our 'Management' that the word 'striker' exists. and to educate them into it's meaning....

joking aside, i think a quality psychologist would be a great signing, i said half way through the season that one was needed, look at how much we change once we take the lead, look at how many points we dropped in the dying minutes.

He's hoping for another contract. If they don't go up, he'll probably get it too. If not, a Championship club will take a punt. Be realistic

Ive already heard him say on Soccer AM that whatever happens in the play-offs he will be a Blackpool player nxt season and then thats it, will probably retire at 40.

Actually... one of my tweets the other day went viral in America because I called anyone who believes the earth is 6000 years old ... an idiot.

Made my day.

If you believe in God.... you are an idiot. In true, FBIG style.

So ..... Sam Togwell? :mrgreen:

wants a move further south apparently. he's from Kent originally I think.

Yeovil papers reporting that Andy Williams' contract offer from Swindon was in the region of 5k a week so if true that puts him out of our price bracket.

1st time I've ever bothered to look at football rumours, but we are after these players apparently! :lol:

Akinfenwa and Holmes would be decent with Cuvelier and Mantom back for season long loans!

Actually, when was the last time we had a season-long loan? (Player wise, before anyone comes in about Bonsers money :lol: )
