Ah, who cares about the Carling Cup anyway? It’s a shit drink, and the good teams don’t enter into it until about round 15 or something. Mind you, you have to be pretty special to exit a competition before anyone else has entered it, and I have to admit, going ahead twice and still losing
… I really do want to be sedated. Honest. Exciting isn’t it? Just think, at 7.45pm tomorrow we’ll be back in Proper Football™ and all that it entails. Teams you have heard of with stadia you know about playing in tournaments that don’t need further explaining. Shame it’s this poxy Carling Cup prelim bollocks at
So, that’s it then. Goodbye pre-season for another year. A shortened, not particularly awe-inspiring campaign that has redefined the word “anti-climatic”, although one with thankfully few injuries to report. And yes, I know about Tooting and Mitcham on Tuesday, although that will be a bit like Bedfont last Thursday, minus the planes distracting us. Still,
Do I have to do something about Sluts 1 Prudes 1? Really? Can’t I take this evening off and leave you to fill in the gaps? Or even better, can’t I just supply you with the FA Amateur Cup final in 1963 and pretend it’s from today? No? Bastards… While I write this, our reserves

As the headline says, really. Pre-seasons are always a bit odd to write about when nothing of major note happens. On Tuesday, we went to Staines Town and pretty much whipped their arses without breaking too much of a sweat. Not too sure what to take out of the game, except that those who came
And after seven weeks since Eastlands and losing Danny Kedwell and Steven Gregory and the rest of the players and getting in newbies and getting used to being in the Football League again, and……… League Two 2 Premier League (XI) 0 It’s almost as though we never went away, isn’t it? OK, you can’t read
So then, what’s this developmental squad business all about? The whole reserve/youth team system has never quite lived up to WFC era standards as yet, and I guess this is what the club was referring to in a recent WHAK about the Football League changing things. Details are as yet a bit sketchy, and with
In the second – and hopefully, final – high profile departure, Danny Kedwell is off to his boyhood club. The fact that this has managed to be even less of a surprise than Gregs leaving yesterday is testament to something, though I’m not quite sure what. Maybe once the shock of the transfer request subsided,
