watched the bradford/arsenal cup tie last night,like me anyone else couldnt fail not to be impressed by the bradford keeper matt duke.thought he had an excellent game.and if moyseys on the lookout for competition for howard this lad may well be worth keeping an eye on.jimmy {Ed025's Note - one swallow does not a summer make jimbo, he is in division 2 for a reason mate..

With you about that ed.the lad did impress though.dont know anything about him. as i dont know much about jack butland at brum but they apparently where looking for around 6 mill for him which is a bit steep for competition when we need strengthening in more important areas.jimmy {Ed025's Note - i suppose you get what you pay for jim, being on the england scene, i think butland would have a good sell on value, which seems to be important these days..

Matt Duke is 35. Anyway we don't need a keeper, there is nothing wrong with the Slovak Casillas.

I would pay the £6m for Butland with Ofoe on loan and a Striker on loan, maybe Bent.

Thats just me though.

Former Man City and Tramere Rovers keeper Eric Nixon is now the caretaker at the all weather pitches were my lads team train in the winter. I was telling my lad how in February 86 Everton put 4 past him at Goodison, 3 of them by Lineker. What I didn't expect was for us to see Nixon and have my lad go up to him and say 'hey Egsy, is it true Lineker once put 3 past you when you played for City?' Nixon's face was a picture.

Love it mate, kids have no morals at all and it's all purely innocent, remember my lad when he was 4 in the Asda sitting in the shopping trolley, shouted as load as he could "hey daddy look at the size of the mans nose, its massive" the guy was stood next to me, awesome
