Back in the day we didn't even let southerners play in our football league.
I think you can ascribe the decline of the Empire to a period somewhere between the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 and Woolwich Arsenal getting promoted to the First Division in 1903. Coincidence? I think not.
The first recorded instance of a 10 shilling note being waved with the taunt 'you've never seen one of these' was at Accrington in 1905.
Penlee lifeboat tragedy; Christmas; a launch so perilous, the Coxswain had refused to take two volunteers from one family.
The lifeboat, in high seas, with four crew already saved, could have aborted, but instead bravely pulled alongside for another attempt to rescue the remainder. If you can get past that line, that's more than I've ever managed...
Picking a first goal scorer from the prediction league drop down list was sobering. I've approached it in a systematic manner, ruling out the departures, the injuries and the no-hopers, and In the end I've gone for the new lad, Shepperd...
It is hard work staying positive. I've still gone for a win, of course.
I've always thought that, given you've always got one extra player (keeper), then reducing the number of players in the box one-for-one gives you a bigger defensive edge, that is, 3 marking 2 gives you an advantage over 9 marking 8, for example...??
Indeed, at the end of 144 matches, two thirds of the teams are still in?! Not really much 'competition' there, in a league where you don't even play all the other teams.
In addition you're guaranteed two 'headline' matches against Barcelona, not that it matters if you lose these, as along as you dish out regulation pastings to the other six duffers you've drawn.
Great to catch you Nathan, and just in time... If you drop me a DM with details, I'll get £30 to you asap! Good luck for this season, we have had double winners before.
