Dobber - Interesting, you're obviously 'in the know'.

[Willo the Cat]

I think Royston will be in a top 5 position come May 2010. Kentish town to avoid relegation.

 

Prem Div Champions - Harefield

Div One Champions - ???

Div Two Champions - 61

Is that on the field of play or off it, I thought you were no longer involved with the Club.

[bosman08]

Dobber can you tell me how you believe Tok Manor will finish in the top spot in Div 1?? I would be interested to know considering I am in the know also.

[Rhodes]

Bosman08 - Dobber may have got wind somehow that Lee Scott could be joining the Club in October

[bosman08]

Well that would be a coup but would he be allowed in! LOL

[zezi]

Been away for a long time, how did the end of the season finish for tok manor rhodes?

[Rhodes]

Zezi - Yes I wondered what happened to you, where did you disappear to. Well how long have you got, the last ten games were eventful to put it mildly and I've commented on them briefly below for you:

 

28 March - Buckingham Athletic Away - Lost 1-2 - Gavin Hansell was the difference as we struggled to contain him up front

31 March - Cranfield United Away - Lost 0-7 - Travelling to Cranfield on a Tuesday night was far from ideal and we paid the ultimate price although 7-0 was flattering

2 April - Bedford Home - Drew 0-0 - A poor game which saw the kick off delayed until 8.45 due to heavy traffic or so Bedford claimed

4 April - New Bradwell St Peter Home - Won 1-0 - A hard fought win against an under strength New Bradwell on a very bumpy surface impossible for good football

7 April - Arlesey Athletic Home - Won 5-2 - An excellent match, end to end stuff with some great goals, Arlesey played their part

11 April - London Colney Away - Won 2-1 - Arguably the best win of the season, Nathan Gamester saved a hotly disputed penalty just after the interval which changed the game

14 April - Kings Langley Home - Drew 2-2 - Kings Langley thought they only had to turn up to win but a draw was a fair result

18 April - Amersham Town Away - Lost 2-3 - We threw this one away by giving Amersham two goals on 45 and 90 minutes

20 April - Sport London e Benfica - Won 3-1 - The first half was the most one sided I've seen since Leeds v Southampton in 1971/1972

but Benfica improved in the second half

25 April - Ampthill Town Home - Lost 1-2 - A disappointing curtain call to the season in what was a dead rubber, The Saint attended the game as he was match ball sponsor

I would have cited beating champions Royston Town 2-1 as the 'best win of the season' from an outsiders perspective.

[Rhodes]

LATO - I'm surprised you have commented on this rather the Leeds v Southampton game in 1971/1972 which no doubt, like me, you remember as if it were yesterday.

Yes beating Royston Town was no doubt a great win but Royston sometimes don't travel well during midweek with players getting stuck in traffic etc and this was one of those rare occasions with Paul Attfield playing Craig Hammond at centre half for most of the first half. Cotlandswick is a fortress and never an easy place to go to so for me that was a far more significant win.

No it wasn't. You were lucky to get 0.

I disagree. Ruislip Manor won there in 2004/5, 2005/6 drew in 2006/7 and won again in 2007/8 admittedly after about 10 straight defeats there. It was a formidable place when London Colney were the best side in the division but it's reputation has slipped a little as the team have.

As for Leeds I was 4 at the time of that game so no I don't recall it but once again I point out..why didn't they win much much more if they were that good a team? 2 championships, One league Cup, 2 UEFA Cups and an FA Cup in the period 1968-75 when they were supposedly so good. However thats getting off topic so I rest my case on that one.

[Rhodes]

LATO - Take a look at the Youtube link then of the Leeds v Southampton game, it's probably the best exhibition of flowing football since Brazil v Czechoslovakia in Mexico 1970, what Leeds won or didn't win during the legendary Don Revie era is irrelavant:

 

[Zante]

I have a prediction ........

Mr Rhodes to be unceremoniously(his words, not mine)kicked out of Tokyngton Manor by January.

[Rhodes]

Zante - Can you see your local Club Haringey Borough doing well this season, I think Tom Loizou knows what he's doing and they could finish in a healthy mid table position for a change, possibly even higher.

[dobber]

a good source told me they were signing an ex-chelsea trainee and some ex-chalfont players along with lee scott
