We've drawn Nags Head in the Cup! Our TV Advert and Kane scores 500 Goals...
Q: If you could walk into that changing room right now with the boys upset, what would you say to them to really lift their spirits?
You've let your manager down. You need to start showing a bit of grit and determination.
Letter to Imperial League, Plumbers vs Sparkies & Has Holloway Gone Full Metal Bracknall?
Q: How do you look after yours and the lads' mental well-being at the club given your situation with Wynney?
Mental health is very important. I try to organize trips, but often no one shows up. Bob goes running for exercise and clears his mind, which is vital for mental well-being.
Letter to Imperial League, Plumbers vs Sparkies & Has Holloway Gone Full Metal Bracknall?
Q: If you're trying to make a successful Sunday League club team like, say, the Royal Oak and not a shit Sunday Football League team like, say, the Nags Head, what would be the first thing to do and why?
You need a good spang and a shit house defender. Also, you need a mercurial talent in the middle that can take on a man and a striker who can score 20 goals a season.
Magic of The FA Cup, Carrick at Man Utd and Messi or Ronaldo?
