Onwards and Upwards. No goals conceded a win on penalties

Things looking rosy for the Vale then .......... PLUS the game against Newcastle U21's to come and with it an attendance nearing 200 (assuming Newcastle bring their 135 fans to that one)

DONE DEAL - FLINDERS TO CHELTENHAM

Cheltenham have completed the signing of experienced goalkeeper Scott Flinders. The 31-year-old has been without a club since being released by Macclesfield at the end of last season.

I am sure Zid will be highly amused..
Not good enough for the Silkmen ???
At least he will get plenty of bending practice at Town..

[stattointhailand]

I can think of quite a few others at the moment who are either feigning injury or just not trying in order to get a move away, so Flinders isn't the first and won't be the last to try that tactic Bob

[Zidane]

Flinders had a 2 month loan from York to Macc at the back end of last year and,apparently,was quite good.
He was then released by York at the end of January and signed for Macc until the end of the season.
His second spell was pretty atrocious by all accounts.He replaced Craig Ross as the no.1 keeper and many Macc fans thought Ross was hard done by.
Flinders was released by Macc at the end of the season but Ross was retained,although he decided to join League 2 Barnet instead.
If Cheltenham are budgeting for Conference South football in a couple of years then I'd say Flinders is a pretty shrewd acquisition !

Yeah.... that's what concerned me too..

Leeds have signed striker Pierre-Michel Lassoga on a season-long loan from Hamburg.

He will wear the No 9 shirt at Elland Road.

21:30 DONE DEAL

Matt Sandoz Stoke City commentator, BBC Radio Stoke

Port Vale have signed 23-year-old centre back Tom Anderson on a season-long loan from Premier League side Burnley. The Vale manager Michael Brown may still further strengthen his squad before tonight’s deadline. Anderson is Brown’s 18th signing of the summer.

Good grief valiant, you can't complain that Vale haven't done any business..
Quality might be a different issue, but Anderson looks a good signing for you..

There was another striker signed up earlier - Pawel Cibicki from Malmo. That's 3 young strikers signed up and still £10m left from selling Wood. Good business in my opinion. MoT

The Irons great start to the season continues UNBEATEN and an away win yesterday at Bury move them up to 4th in the table as Bob confirms.. a cracking Josh Morris free kick sent the traveling 2000 Scunny fans into deliria ..

Elsewhere things looking bleak for some of our other much loved teams ..

Thanks for highlighting the days biggest game in red Bob ... are you a closet Iron fan .. ??

GOOD LUCK to all our much loved teams ..

The question being asked the world over from remotest desserts to the biggest cities ..is can the Irons magnificent UNBEATEN start tot he season continue today when they face Blackpool at Glanford Park ...lets hope so ..

Another question ... which Leeds will turn up today ? will Burton cause a suprise n dampen the current Yorkshire puddings state of Uphorea (hard to spell same dihorea) ... local police are again expecting a large turn out later today ... as not only the hundreds of regular Leeds football fans and 11 Burton fans but also many others as this weekend sees Yorkshires second city Leeds host the World Lard eating championships ...last year won by local lass Witney Twix from Morley .

WOT ..Wobbling On Together
