Well done to Bombhead.

On a Southend note, Mitchell Cole is a player I'd really like Tilly to look at. He's Joe Cole's cousin actually. A left winger who was at West Ham with Freddy, who's taken a similar route of making a big name for himself at Grays. One Sunday paper last week actually suggested Arsenal have been keeping tabs on him.

 

[Grayson]

Who else remembers Scott Kerr? Was he not the one who scored the equalizer in the original tie against Scarborough last year?

 

[Andy_S]

Indeed he was.

 

[McScriven]

Will Fairclough still be at the helm of this lot when Barnet are back in the League next season?

 

[Kim Mitten]

Surely not as the point of the National XI is that it is a total Non-League outfit.

To have a League manager is surely against the rules.
