    I might be reading too much into things, but in Ardley's pre-match interview, he mentioned a couple of times that whatever happens to Notts this season, there will be good times ahead for the club. I don't know if that's him just playing to the crowd (and downplaying any damage incurred under his tenure), or if he knows what the new owners are about. I guess we'll see either way.

    We've been here before so I expect very little.

    I didnt say it WOULD happen I said it could happen.

    Best not to get fans hopes up with mega rich owners when it is unlikely to happen.

I just remember looking down at it whilst explaining "I didn't see anything sir, I was swapping football cards with Gavin".

    Thanks for posting that LP cover. Was there ever a less aptly named label than Music for Pleasure?

    In those idle moments when I dream of going on "Desert Island Discs", I've got "Ernie" as my first choice, since it's the first song I remember as a kid (I presume played by Ed "Stewpot" Stewart on "Junior Choice").

    "He said you wanted pasteurised, cos pasteurised is best / She says 'Ernie I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."

    Back on the original topic: My boss tracks planes for a hobby (it's OK, he probably thinks I'm sad obsessing over a rubbish football team too). A few weeks ago he asked me "Have you heard of Brian Joffe?" I say no and Google him to see that he's a very rich South African businessman. How rich? Well, he flew over to Israel (where I work) from South Africa in his private jet on Election Day. Don't know if that means he has Israeli citizenship as well (which he would need if he wanted to vote) or just a coincidence that he flew in on that day and was there for business.

    Be amazed if he is part of any consortium, but he would not be short of a few Krugerrands, for sure.

    "Well I rise at six and I feed the chicks and I'm feeling lonesome and blue,
    and as I milk the cow my thoughts somehow stray right back to you.
    And as the horse and I plough the field nearby your memory I cannot erase,
    Until I gaze at the rear of the horse my dear and I seem to see your face".

    Sheer poetry.
