How's your footy team doing?

T'Alex are breaking the habits of a season today since they are playing { supposedly   } tonight at Tranmere !!  So not too far to spend time celebrating on their way home  before getting the obviously deserved Fish, Chips 'n Mushy peas --

( Very busy praying that its at least a two goal lead in Crewe's favour  )

Well it wasn't that good !

Actually it was a 3 -- 0 stuffing  and according to the commentary team on Radio Stoke darned hard work to keep both of the  Common Taters and t'engineers from falling asleep !

Just hoping that its a better result and performance on Tuesday, when we are due to play 'em at Porage Pitch !

Not too good a draw either for you in The Cup, Brian,  Orient are doing well!! Very much the same for my local team. Started off well but 4 defeated in the trot has put paid to their early success.😞

I can just hear the comments now, Nell  !!  No worry about that game cos we are going to concentrate on bringing on the youngsters that we have, and then  full bore for safety in the League so we can go for promotion next season------------ blahdy blahdy blah   

Yeah,  I should coco !

Friends called me on the way home from Porage Pitch with half hour still to go  --  non too chuffed with performance and non the better for leaving ground early 'cos the chip shop was not "up to Heat " for another 15 to 20 minutes grrrrrrrrrrrrr 

Well yet another 70--minute footy match for Crewe followed by the usual 20-minutes of generosity from all accounts. T'Alex are hanging on to mid--table but shewong no signs of a climb upwards any month soon.  

Sadly it would appear that I am the sole 'poster' on here these days, so I will just stop talking to myself.

You’re definitely not taking to yourself, Brian 🙂.  
I was at the Man City v Brighton game this afternoon. Very good performance, as expected, from Brighton, and a full away end allocation taken from their fans.  
“Good old Sussex by the sea” I think I know all the words after today’s game. 🙂

And a good result for Burnley, I live in their territory and get to their games quite often. Good value tickets and can get there using my bus pass!

A new "old" kid on the block after today's result, with The Magpies up to 4th!!

Sorry you're feeling lonely, Brian.  I've just been reluctant to post anything on here about Hull City because as soon as I do - I regret it. They have to be one of the most inconsistent teams in the Championship The sooner they get a new manager and, literally, 'pull their socks up', the better. (And I'm discounting the last two wins because experience tells me that won't last!!)

When staying at Brora CMC site a couple of weeks ago I went to see Brora Rangers play Brechin City in the Highland League - a top of the table clash.

Brechin outclassed Brora, 0-3, but I was truly impressed with the quality of football from both sides which was of a remarkably high standard. I suppose I'd expected kick and rush and a lack of technical ability, but it was far from that. Both teams played a passing game of considerable excellence, and the skill levels were high. I would happily watch that every week instead of the over moneyed, hyped-up Premier League. And only a fiver to get in (concession rate) and £1.50 for a cup of tea and a Tunnocks Caramel wafer. Marvellous.
