Stanley Sore, Pessimists Soar, Who Sells Seashells On The North Sea Shore .....
As my position in the prediction league shows, I'm not much good at it, but at half-time on Tuesday with the Beeb stats showing how much we'd bossed the first half and the scoreline still 0-0, I did say to Mrs Chimer that an extra-time winner for the monkeyhangers was on the cards .... didn't foresee the penalty making it two though.
From a worryingly low attendance (only 22 entries), 3 of you apparently did see it coming, though no maxis anywhere. 4 points for Accybeme and a leap from 9th to 3rd. 3 points for Yerself, again, this time rising from 26th= to 21st. And 3 points for Kiwi John enabling him to stretch away to a 3 point lead at the top of the heap.
The only other point scored was by AccyMad, from a Desmond forecast which enabled her to hold off Accybeme and hang on to 2nd on countback.
Hum. Roll on Yeovil, I think. Surely we can shake off this run - we lost 5 on the trot the season before last, soon followed by 8 without a win, and we don't want to do either of those again. No smilies until we win
. On Stanley On!
