26 February 2010

Deviant Diary writes: He's old, he's ugly, he's honest Nick: the creaking keeper doesn't hold his hands up but will bounce back. Oh, and like Peter Mandelson, he's a fighter not a quitter, though possibly without the camp tearfulness, missus. Wait... wait... wait... here it is... no Nick, that's bounced back to the subs bench, for Town have signed Mark Oxley from 'Ull on loan. So it's Captain Peacock tomorrow. Are you free to go to Dagenham?

All the way from cock-er-nee land comes a mildly miffed missive from Big Al, your Deviant Diary's Dagger's Pal. "Welcome to our shiny new away end, where you will enjoy the best facilities in the ground - bar under the stands with big screen tvs and good views without the sun in your eyes - we home supporters get a terrace with no bogs, no bar and, to top it off burned retinas" The sun always shines for the Barking boys who have signed a Folly. Will Town cage the Folly? History repeats itself, first as tragedy then as camp farce.

And today's local news is still dominated by the Mithering Scouser's moment of clarity, a sudden remembrance of things in the past. But what is memory anyway but the shuffle on an idle iPod? It's the footballing equivalent of chasing ambulances. Do you think he's going to sue The Plough in Tetney for the emotional turmoil when they ran out of salted peanuts? Idiots, they're idiots he'll tell you.

Shall we just wait and see?
