The Diary

Countdown is progressing

"From the Bernabeu to Blundell Park, playmakerstats aims to bring you beautiful stats on the beautiful game." Daubney might usually file the bio of @playmakerstats under No Disrespect to the Likes of GY and Similar Pisstakes. However, on this occasion we'll allow an agreeable alliteration as they've brought our attention to this stat.

  

Don't think too hard about the couple of away postponements we've had, nor look too long at the Leeds crest as the warm fuzzy feeling will begin to fade. Still, it's a start. This time next year we'll be millionaires, Rodders.

As you've probably gathered from that barrel scraping opening salvo, there aint much midweek diary content. The only division four action last night had no bearing for us and saw sinking stones Notts County winning three zip at Bradford, a result in keeping with the unpredictable nature of the season. The obvious takeaway being we need not fear Wrexham at the weekend, as well as haddock and chips of course. 

What else? Oh yeah, the Government have some yoke in parliament. Daubney would class himself as a Positive Pete when it comes to Town. This doesn't extend to football or human civilisation as a whole which I believe is fucked. Proper fucked. In the case of football, the thought that Westminster is capable of fixing something which shattered a long time ago with the fragments scooped up into a bucket to be conveniently shat upon every year since would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Still, Andrew Pettit hasn't dismissed it out of hand and that's likely to be more significant than my profane ramblings.

Andrew also urges comments and suggestions on the Bill from supporters so get in touch. My suggestion to you readers? If you don't want to lose any residual warm fuzzy midweek diary feeling, try not to linger on the names Vickers, Nici, and Parry in the article. Otherwise you will be stuck with the image of asking a charred packet of complimentary in-flight peanuts to reassemble the plane wreckage and fly you off the desert island.

Onwards to three points on Saturday you Mighty Mariners.
