Another player leaves No. 2

[Van Helsing EFM GialloBlu]

I've heard an unsubstantiated rumour, although from a very good source, that Lloyd Opara has left the club.

 

By mutual consent ? Maybe.

[DJ Ozzy Bin Laden]

Now why doesn't that surprise me!

 

He must of got loads on encouragement after reading in the press after just two games the manager say "it hasn't really worked out as hoped yet"

Did Castle and Gibbo go to the same PR school?

Already 26 players used in the league this season, are we trying to break last seasons record?

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

I think Lloyd is trying to break 26 clubs in a season more like, he stayed with us one game, how many did he play for you?

Hi Mark.

 

Two so far. Let's wait and see if he's at Maidenhead tomorrow.

 

As you're here Mark, how's it going at Cressing Road? Bjorn's still there, I see. How many goals has Abbo put away this term?

 

Don't forget, Mark. Keep the books and records in order.

 

Huge.

[Van Helsing EFM GialloBlu]

The second part of the unsubstantiated rumour, but from a very good source, is that he's left to join.............Maidenhead.

 

If so he could well be there tomorrow.

[AFF]

As a good friend from distance is fond of saying "You couldn't make it up, could you?".

 

Oh, by the way. Opara played 1 game for Swindon Town. League Cup Vs. Rushden & Diamonds.

[Webbo MFI]

yup - he was only ever going to be at City for a couple of games.

 

Signed Ben Abbey today - I can see the headlines now!

[YELLOW]

Ben Abbey? That [***!!***] scored the winner for Southend against us in the cup a few seasons ago. Not a bad striker.

[AFF]

Now I see what you mean by headlines, Webbo, you lap-dog.

 

Southend United. Now that is a serious pedigree. You can keep your Leyton Orient, Birmingham, Wycombe Wanderers, Colchester United, Chelsea squad number, err..err.. one game at Swindon Town, etc. etc.

 

The Mighty Shrimpers. This baby will have real class. Look at Mel Capleton. Same mould, mate. That's a track record all right.

 

 

[YELLOW]

He did OK at Southend. Scored a few goals for them but for some reason Dave Webb didn't fancy him and let him go.

 

He's been drifting around the non league scene since. Think he's been at Crawley and Gravesend.

[AFF]

The only point is, YA, he wore the blue shirt at Roots Hall.

 

Qwality.

 

Things can only get better.

Definition: \Lap"dog`\, n.

A small dog fondled in the lap.

 

could you stop calling me that!

 

 

[AFF]

Look up 'lackey', Webbo.

I agree, remember Declan Perkins <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Not like Declan Perkins I hope, AFF.

[AFF]

I have had a couple of exchanges with Gravesend & Northfleet fans who rate Ben Abbey highly. They were surprised that the club 'let him go' at the end of last season. One said 'Don't let him take any penalties lol', whatever that means.

 

Perkins? Perkins? Rings a vague bell.

 

I see that Elliot someoneorother who signed and committed his future to the Saints a couple of weeks back, has signed and committed his future to Hampton & Richmond Borough and came off the bench to score with a 25 yard shot on Saturday.

 

The not very interesting link to these items [apart from Perkins] is that H&R manager Alan Devonshire 'discovered ' Ben Abbey while he, Devonshire, was at the helm at Maidenhead.
