22 January 2010

There's a grey gloom to the West Yorkshire air which is effecting Idle Diary's mood. The white, occasionally bright snow kept my spirits high as Town extended their winless run. Today all those draws, all those games when Town have failed to score, that lack of results, it's all starting to eat away at me, like a lurking hangover.

I'm trying to spin in my head that the arrival of Ashley Chambers is a good thing, it's going to work out, there's method to all these strikers Woods keeps mixing and matching. The boss man has been watching Chambers for a while, has had him over for a look, and is timely with the departure of the Parisian for the next three weeks with glandular fever. Woods reckons Chambers'll make a difference, but then every signing has had the promise of 'adding something different'. Sheeet. Why not sign Jimmy McNulty, a man who would bring something different to, say, bad boy Barry Conlon?

Still, let's lift the mood. There's always that hilarious video on YouTube, where some witty fan has taken a clip of Downfall and replaced the subtitles with some porrly spelled sentunsis supposedly comically ribbing Town's current position. Jesus. Fucking hilarious. An unfunny joke being recycled a year after everyone else did it the first time. Ever sense that sums us up as a club? All the promise of change when Woods was appointed needs to happen this Saturday, otherwise Town will have to worry about losing more fans a lot older than young Master Wilkinson.

Still, good job that Jon Spurr got that highly prominent Twelfth Man campaign going to lift everyone, eh.

Fuck it. I'm off to the pub.
