The one with moaning about competitions being too hard

14 October 2003

Al in gay snub shocker
Andy Harrow can say what he likes about Mr Wilkinson's poetry, but no way is Al a poof. I tried it on with him in the Pontoon the other week and he ran away and told my girlfriend.

Spanking the monkey
Mat, in your intriguing tips column you have set a betting plan of three from five perms. I was wondering why you opted for this plan in the first place. Cheers and beat that monkey, eh!
Dave Marsh
via email

Mat says: After much experimentation, I eventually settled on bets that would be better suited to a lower strike rate, namely the perms. This seemed to work, so for ease I stuck with it.

Over the summer I did some analysis and concluded that I prefer to use a match rating cut-off of 500 points. When I looked at the results of the first season the system proved to be over 60% accurate, so I could quite reasonably expect at least three teams in each of my sets of five to win. So I continued the perms as they were but altered the staking so that I risked more cash on the teams I was more certain would win.

Historian wanted
Hello there. Great idea having a history quiz, but have you thought about having a page outlining the history of the club? I found myself referring to other sites to look up the answers. Other than that keep up the good work on a very enjoyable read.
Matt Richmond

A club history section is penned in for November sometime, I've just been told... [Letters Ed]

Debutant does himself no harm, early doors
Pictures to go with the words? Wonderful. And a smashing report from newcomer Paul Ketchley. 'The boy done good'. Do you accept match reports from anyone?
Paul Thompson
via email

We usually have the report by Tony Butcher as our main report - but we're happy to publish other reports, and any articles that people want to submit. [Letters Ed]

----------------------------------

Me! Me! Me!
Hi. Thanks for replying about the programme pieces. I hope you do decide to put the programme pieces on your site at some point. I think there aren't many pieces on your site like your programme pieces. All the puzzles make Cod Almighty into a quiz book. The betting is like the racing pull out of the Sun. Mystic Mick is something from Viz. Please put the programme pieces on your site. And no I will not go and buy the programmes!
Anna Housden
via email

Yeah, well, we'll think about it. If you'd met the people who write the betting columns and Mystic Mick you'd know that they'd take your comments as a compliment... [Letters Ed]

Premier primate
I just heard that the next manager of Tottenham will be Coco the Chimp.
Jo Tilley
via email

It was either the chimp or Mat Hare. They made the right choice. [Letters Ed]

Baby bealer
Having just found your site, I am sickened at the use of minors on your website in the use of what you must clearly think is a 'joke'. It isn't a funny joke, it isn't clever and since it appears the parents of these babies have helped write the 'Blundell Babes' stories I can only question the maturity and responsibility of the individuals involved. I hope you see sense and remove this vile section from your site.
Dominic Andrews

He he he. Yeah, nice one Dom. [Letters Ed]

Nesbit hunting
Please, please take a look at at the GTFC OS Message Board, a post entitled 'whyme' by homeguy (Cleefish in disguise) 13/10/2003 2:26 PM. Pleeeaaaase.
Mr B.L.Ackandwhite-Barmy
via email

I think cleefish should be used in schools to warn children of the dangers of the internet... [Letters Ed]

Deep breath and count to ten...
I was going to enter the competition to win a pair of tickets, but how can I if I can't answer the questions? Does your average Town fan know how big the pitch at Blundell Park is? I think not. Give us a chance to win the tickets. Otherwise if you do not want people to win the tickets why have a competition?
Jonathan Duffy
via email

Jesus H Bleedin Josephine Christ. Do a bit of bloody research Jonathan, please. It's not that hard to go to bloody www.footballgroundguide.co.uk and click on 'Grimsby' now is it? Or would you prefer that I hold your hand while you do it? [Letters Ed]

The kids are alright
Blundell babes made me laff. Top!

Eloquent exile
I've just been reading Stu Morton's article on exiled support via his experiences in France. What a wonderful piece. As a fellow exile I think he sums up the situation perfectly, succintly and eloquently.

Oh, and Stu, don't do yourself down. The writing's very nice too.
