Mr Perpetual Motion kept going, no matter where on the pitch he was polyfilling.

For no other reason than his tantrum. He threw the lifejacket away. We all make mistakes. Professionals don't make them again, young man.

A bit of bad weather and big boy bullying was enough for the sanguine shoe shuffler to use the word disappointed a lot. And soft:

"It's a hard environment football, and some of them have probably come from softer environments I would suggest."

But he had a spoonful of sugar for the journey home:

"We'll take our medicine."

More on this

The rancid old Cobbler was dead chuffed that selling his football soul had worked out:

"I said at half time - let's go and ruffle a few feathers…I want our team to be ugly…this weather was perfect!"

And topped off his trashtalking with some teenage tossery:

"They opted not to play us because they had Covid problems …apparently"

If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Up to the point Storm Git hit there was nothing but beauty to behold. Town had repelled a very slick operation with Bapaga and especially Sousa terrorizing them with one-touch triangles and surging dribbles. Ah, but apres le deluge...Town were walked over.

It's as simple as that. And when Efete lost his marbles that was that.

There'll be a lot of hand-to-hand fighting ahead. We can be good, the officials are bad, our opponents will be ugly. That's the future as Bromley and Maidenhead have provided the blueprint to deal with Town.

Fasten your seatbelts and get a sturdy brolly.

The Bromley contingent are very nifty indeed on that pitch and have no real need to resort to gittery to get what they want. They passed, they moved, they did it at speed and accurately.

But as Town were good enough to repel their good intentions they resorted to Sarf Landon geezerdom, all larks and snarks. The painful truth is that it worked.

They will go far, especially on that pitch as they won't come across many opponents capable of out-footballing them. Their second bow string is discordant, disharmonious and dislikable, but effective. Play-off contenders.

We know we are, we're sure we are, we're Grimsby 'til we're dry.

Mr M Russell

The pliant peeper caved in under pressure from a thousand Bromley tuts, now and then. He didn't cause the defeat, but decided to interpret events consistently through home eyes and squeals, which suppressed Sousa, so suppressed Town.

Perhaps their teas are very good: 5.529

‘Tis the wind and nothing more.

In a word: sodden
