Terminator 7 (SEVEN) Audience 0

28 February 2024

Movie fact! "I'll come back" was the T-800's line in the original script of the Terminator. Arnold Schwarzenegger preferred "I'll be back" and after a bit of argy bargy with writer/director James Cameron, a catchphrase was born. Roll forward 40 years, several crap sequels and a dodgy TV series later, Cameron is still keen to honour the sentiment of that line and a Terminator 7 is in the works.

What's this got to do with Town? Shit sequels, that's what. Two death-defying escapes from non-league are enough. When John McAtee gave us the gangsta thumbs up as he disappeared into the molten Luton sunset, that should have been it. Yet the same tired old cast is back auditioning for a conference reboot with a plot every bit as bad and muddled as Terminator Genisys. Just look at last night, the zombies of 2022 Wrexham and Notts County were mixed in with 2016 fodder FGR in a script that had last-minute Paul Mullin penalties, calamity defending high scoring away wins and the Fabulous Braintree Boys in a Colchester cameo. We've seen it all before and Daubney has had enough. 

The solution is simple. Based on the memory of winning all seven games in March 1990 and with an aversion to further research that would make BOTB Diary proud, I'm declaring that, historically, March is a good month for Town and we will be nigh on unbeatable for the next four weeks. FGR? I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now, I'm very hungry. Wimbledon? Hasta la vista, baby. Sutton? If it bleeds, we can kill it. In a week, all this could be behind us. Bin the tired old script and let's do this.
