27 December 2005

Just a quick 'holiday Tuesday' Diary to let you know that 12-year-old Bury manager Chris Casper reckons his team deserved better something from yesterday's game than to lose 2-1 to the likes of Grimsby. He's probably right, but don't they always say that when Town beat them? "We dominated the game for long periods," laments the youngest manager to manage Bury in 1,000 years, seemingly having forgotten the bit about scoring goals. "It's difficult to stomach when you're the better team," added Casper before hurrying out of the press conference to make a start on his Christmas holiday homework and publicity material for his campaign to become a prefect next term.

Owt else? Just Mr Russell Slade in full-on, "it ain't gonna be pretty" Nicky Law mode, describing yesterday's proceedings as "an old-fashioned game of football" which "was never going to be a classic". Of course not - the classic game of football will be against Lincoln tomorrow night, right?
