In all seriousness, I think it's a great move for both Skuse and Colchester.

They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all!

It's nothing new. Look at the line-ups for the single most enjoyable game I've ever seen: https://www.coludata.co.uk/item.php?pg=results&pd=1026&sort=sopp&ord

That’s a real mixture of good players on the way down and on the way up, but both sides.

Indeed - Lua Lua coming on for Dozzell being the supreme example. Cureton missed a penalty for Rovers.

But less fess fun is I believe Bramble may have ended someone's career with a very heavy challenge, (but I may well be wrong.)

TWTD are quite excited too, judging by all the coverage his move is generating!
Sorry Phil, I realise that there’s no genuine Town news to report.

Can’t see it working well for Colchester. Has been poor for a few years, slows the game down, no threat. Deserves thanks for being here for 8 years but the tributes are like those seen for someone who was part of a team that achieved something. We have been in decline!!!

I had no idea Titus went there. Was it a lost bet a la Sheringham??

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

It’s a great move for Skuse. 2 year contract at his age and level of fitness? Doesn’t have to move house, happy days. He might even be able to get into coaching there if that’s what he wants. Good luck to him.

I can’t see much in it for Colchester, but you never know. Old goalies and defenders can work out well if they were top level in the first place, as we know. Midfielders? Pirlo is about the only one I can think of. I saw Tony Currie playing for Torquay in the mid 80s at about the age Skuse is now. A top player in his day, but the game utterly passed him by. It was sad.

Has the pronunciation of "Boudicea" changed.... on 16:41 - May 26 with 793 viewsBloots

.....when I was a nipper it was always "Bo-dissea"

But now it appears to be "Boo-dicka"

Your anus or You're unus?

Modern things confuse me.

Nestlay was always Nestles and always will be. Same with Bowda-see-her.

Ahhh, the good old days...

Col U has always been an Ipswich retirement home/place for our young cast-offs to go for years. The Beat had one last go at it at Col U when they had Allan Hunter as boss. Micky Stockwell, Gavin Johnson. We nicked our best manager since Sir Bobby from them. I used to go on watch them sometimes at Layer Road when they played their games on a Friday night, there were a fair few Town fans who would go up to Col U on a Friday night for a game back then.
