18 October 2010

Mardy Diary writes: sometimes there's nothing more to add on these post-match Mondays. There's not even a single email in the diary inbox. I feel tired, and uninspired - but there is hope yet: Yes, Rob Atkinson is the latest player to Tell The Telegraph We've Not Been The Best Lately But We'll Get Better Now, Honest. And now you're wondering why that's such good news. Well, it has given me inspiration to create... wait for it...

The Tell The Telegraph Totaliser (or T5 as I like to call it).

Yes, I have spent almost 30 minutes of my life doing extensive research on mundane player interviews in the Grimsby Telegraph to bring you the latest in football statistic reporting. You'll thank me one day when everyone's doing this. And so, for your eyes only, I bring you the current T5 league table:

FibberFibs
Peacock2
Cummins2
Bore1
Ademeno1
Gobern1
Hudson1
Garner1
Coulson1
Kempson1
Eagle1
Samuels1
O'Donnell1
Wood1
Atkinson1

And that's not even counting the one Leary did in pre-season - I've let him off that. Interestingly, the post-Kidderminster fall-out is leading the way in bringing us an unprecedented four, yes FOUR, different players Telling The Telegraph. Perhaps a suggestion that this phenomenon is on the increase in recent games.

Obviously, some games such as Luton and Newport have led to no players Telling The Telegraph - but it's interesting to note that we've had as many claims to improvement by players as we've had matches this season. Read in to that what you will.

Still, it's nice to see the captain leading by example...
