    Chelsea v Newcastle - a dilemma for Shearer's values

    Barney Ronay's take on Chelsea and Newcastle makes a thought provoking read. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/mar/11/shouldnt-someone-in-football-also-care-about-the-war-in-yemen-just-a-little

    Non-ish Ovendale

    Mark's son seems to be following in his late father's footsteps - should be glove handling? I think he was in goal for Newport County U18s against our lads today. Hope he does as well as Dad did.

    U18s and a mysterious spectator

    I can't quite put my finger on it but is there someone vaguely familiar standing next to Alan Connell? https://www.afcb.co.uk/news/under-18s/u18s-beat-fulham-in-latest-friendly/

    Scott Hogan - take 2

    The other thread seems to have become about everything under the sun except Scott Hogan. Now I have no idea whether Hogan is or is not of interest to us, nor I do have a view on his ability. But I thought that the views of the Small Heath crew on him might shed some light on his 'almost current'...

    Non - Lucille!!

    For those of a certain age, another one bites the dust. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52601228

    Non- but football for oldies

    League 1: Bolton v Blackpool 0:0 at half time. Must be a 7 goal thriller in the second half, although I can't see any Stan's or Nat's playing tonight.

    Scottish Premier and AFCB loanees

    I do not live over the border and am not particularly familiar with SPL football. But it might be worth watching the highlights of Kilmarnock v St Johnstone. You will need patience but it is well worth the wait. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/45078519

    football v science

    For those of you who love football and are wary of science have a read of an article by someone was a great footballer - Jorge Valdano. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/29/jorge-valdano-love-football-opposite-of-science His previous piece for the Grauniad is also well worth reading...

    New keeper?

    Bit bored with the transfer hype - and Wilson 60k a week?? - so thought some real news might be in order. Shwan Jalal named keeper of the year in the Conference team of the year. Also rather nice to see Wes Fogden named in Conference South team of the year.

    Non- AFC Wimbledon and Franchise

    It has taken a long time - 7 or 8 years? - but next season Wimbledon will be in the league above Franchise FC. I can't really put my finger on it but it seems somehow right and proper. Plus, of course, their leading scorer is a certain Lyle Taylor - should never have etc etc.

    U 21s

    Through in HSC after a penalty shoot out away against Farnborough. In the video, the real test is to 'spot our nemesis Jamie Cureton' who is playing for the home team. http://www.farnboroughfc.co.uk/category/news/videos/

    (non) NSC - Take II

    Now I know we like to mock our pebble beached friends but I find that NSC is a source of invaluable advice as well as occasional amusement. I particularly like the current seasonal offering: http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?356770-It-s-that-time-of-year-again-(Spiders)

    The other Smith
