11 January 2010

Look gentle reader. Or rather don't bother because there's nothing here for you here today. Today is the coldest, wettest dankest day of the entire winter. Until tomorrow. The sort of peculiarly English cold that is colder than the north pole in its own way without ever even getting down to freezing point. Your Guest Diarist has had many a Scandinavian confess to him that it feels colder in England on this sort of a day than it ever does north of that arctic circle.

And as for news of Grimsby Town - forget it. Demoted bundle-of-crazy-energy Town player Adrian Forbes has sobbed his heart out to the Telegraph about how the experts missed the hairline crack in his fibula and caused his injury to last for ages. He is weeks and weeks away from playing apparently. But who to blame - Dave Moore for believing an X ray or some hospital technician for not reading it carefully? Or John Fenty for thinking the X ray was a blueprint of the FentyDome and filing it under pipedream(s)?

We've got loads of other players just as rubbish as Forbes. Although not many who are as enthusiastic and good with kids. Come back tomorrow and there may be something for you folks. See yer.
