Less than 2 weeks until the first FA cup games and this forum is like a morgue! Where is everyone? No ranting? No raving? C'mon guys! Anybody still think Spalding are the side there players say they are! as predicted in my league table i think St Ives will win it this year, but long way to go yet! Holbeach still likely of a top 6 finish? Has Brett Whaley worked wonders at Yaxley with his slightly increased budget? PNS going to be anywhere near this year after all the comings and goings? Have Boston Town even got a full squad yet? heard few on there way to Holbeach! Sleaford going to be cannon fodder and the whipping boys again? Along with Irchester and Desborough? Lynch's Pagnell going to turn from nearly men into winning the league? Same for Deeping? C'mon guys! gotta something to talk about in there!!

Don't know why Desborough should come into contention as "whipping boys"! Look at our results after Christmas last year when everything changed. Our squad is probably stronger now. We'll be disappointed if we're not in the top half of the table.

Just thought I would say that I dont expect Desborough Town to be anywhere near the bottom of the league this season, yes we have a hard start to the season, but once everything settles down i expect us to be top half with the squad we have assembled.....
Whipping boys... not a chance

Desborough will be fine, however S&L will struggle to get 20 points this season as currently really struggling to field a side !!!

I made the point at the Oadby Town friendly that we [Desborough] had a good chance of recording a top 10 finish... and I have to say there are several others at the Waterworks who share my prediction.
To call us "whipping boys" shows how little delapsrightarm knows about the squad that Steve Walker has assembled at the Waterworks.

You are completely right Desboroughvp, I know nothing about the squad you've assembled! but i will have a sportsmans bet that you won't finish in the top 10? sounds like i will have a few bets on it aswell.. £20 a man and £1 for every position below top 10. to the charity of your/my choice.. Easy money seems as i know nothing about the side and haven't done my research.. You've got a dead cert!

You admit that you know nothing about our squad yet you still seem quite confident that we will not finish in the top ten. If you know nothing about the squad assembled nor which players have come in or gone at a club then how can you confidently declare that we will not be there or thereabouts....

Think St.Ives will go well this year but if I'm honest I don't think we'll win it, I hope I'm proved wrong but as in previous years I don't think we'll get out the blocks quick enough.

but you and your friends are so confident you will finish in the top 10? so presumed you'd be snapping my hand of? not so sure anymore? i say it confidently because i do know of 10 teams in the league who are better than you.. thats why! I fancy St Ives for the league this year! i hope you do well!

5 people saying Desborough will do alright and not a single one willing to take up my offer... Especially surprised at DesboroughVP because him "and several others" share your prediction of a top 10.. ooooh the irony of it all!
