Now, that’s more like it. After what seemed like an eternity, finally a game in the league that justifies the pre-season hype. While we shouldn’t get carried away with Twelve Men 2 Eleven Men 5, for once we had to perform well and we did. If ever a time called for a proper, non-fuckabout type
There’s something I (and judging by a couple of comments I encountered yesterday, others) don’t like about Christmas. Xmas Eve is all right, but Xmas Day if you don’t have kids is either a lesson in monotomy or the time when Murphy makes his rather unwelcome law count more than ever. But Boxing Day and
If you’d asked me before Gypsies 1 Tramps and Thieves 1 whether I would have been happy with a draw, I would probably have said no. Wins are far more valuable than draws, even at this relatively early stage. Yet when I walked out of the game yesterday into the increasingly swirly Kent mist, I

Suddenly, all hopes of actually finishing top are extinguished, and the very real possibility of heartbreak in the playoffs yet again returns to its gut-churning worst. I should shrug my
Job done I suppose. I can’t help thinking that Kingstonian’s Landlords 2 Wealdstone’s Landlords 1 was more difficult than what it should have been, which if I was to ever get round to doing the archive (and I would still like some proofreaders please for it. Usual address) would have described plenty of games earlier
Firstly, thanks to everyone who kept saying to me what a load of bollocks my last report was. I know I can always rely on you guys to give your feedback honestly. Secondly, I refuse to make any 1066 references, so you’ll have to make do with Rye 1 Wheat 3. This was effectively the
