Mardy Diary writes: Oh. Oh dear. It's come to this - and yet we always knew it would, deep down. No, I'm not talking about another capitulation to part-time opposition. No, not that scenario where fans and managers snort at "the likes of" some small club or other before we field a team incapable of living up to the pre-match arrogance. No. What I'm talking about here is the now all-too-familiar Tell The Telegraph We've Not Been The Best Lately But We'll Get Better Soon, Honest game. And whose turn is it today? Why, it's lower-league journeyman and all-round 'meh' signing Anthony Elding. Who cost money to sign - actual, real, proper-signing money.

Elding goes on to say that his team-mates need to, like, grow up and stuff coz they're like really immo and everything. It's like that time when he was doing stretches in training and Dizza was making spaz faces behind him and everything and all the team were like laughing at him and it was totally unfair. And the managers didn't even do anything about it or anything, and like, he was gonna complain to the PFA like but then they were totally biased against him and everything.

In other news Radio Humberside reported this morning that the ongoing manager-stealing compensation ding-dong with former multiple-relegation experts Boston United is set to be resolved - or at least heard in a court of law - sometime in the new year. Bad timing for them really, as we'll have no money at that point and they'll have to settle for considerably less when we inevitably fall in to administration. There's also been a delay in the two clubs arranging a meeting to sort out the (potential) compensation for Church and Pearson.

So it's business as usual - that is, no-one at the club seems even capable of organising a drunken fumble in a hybrid brewery-whorehouse. Seeya.
