Division 4

Grimsby Town 0

Cheltenham Town 0

Attendance: 3334

Possibly because he spent the entire second half alone underneath their plexiglass oasis and liked the way his hair glistened in the floodlights.

Sorry, same as last time for the same reasons. He was untroubled in defence and when he advanced he was, alongside Ak-Ak, the most threatening Townite by far. Ak-Ak shouldn't have been taken off: they were scared stiff of him.

"I feel pretty much the same as everybody else -€“ obviously I'm unbelievably disappointed and unbelievably frustrated."

"We defended well, kept our shape and created a number of decent opportunities and we were perhaps a little unlucky not to have gone on to win the game."

In August we said: "It was like watching American football: advancement through long throws and wellies. They really should not have been allowed to win, for they are no good at all. Really no good. But they kept banging their head against the wall enough times. That shouldn't be enough to do anything but stay in the division." And they have managed to deteriorate. They can thank their goalkeeper for avoiding two defeats to the only rivals for that second relegation spot. I bear them no ill will at all, but the team representing Cheltenham is rotten. It just is. On the evidence of the two games against them it would be our national shame if we allow them to retain league status.

We're all resigned to fate, but there's little to complain about, so the ground is sighing rather than crying. But a good old-fashioned rage at the ref still gets us going. There's still fire in the belly.

He isn't worth analysing, He didn't even understand basic laws of physics. What goes up must come down and for every action there is a reaction. Turn, turn, turn on your spinning wheel of shame: a trigger happy 0.000005.

Now, look at it this way: there have been only two defeats in the last eleven league games.
