Also, nowhere did I claim he was fleecing, but it’s easy to make straw men.

Due Diligence – good name for a racehorse.

Said Aidan O’Brien.
Apparently he had one that raced between 2013 & 2015.

Farsley 0-4 Iron is the minimum.

Farsley 0-8 Iron would inflict their biggest defeat of the season to date.

I’ll settle for the same as last time and go 0-6… featuring a brace for Agadoodoo & Alf Roberts with Boycie & Rowley grabbing one each.

It wasn’t an unbearable match to watch (on TV at least), but both sides seemed determined to make quite hard work of it. United managed to break through the general shit-ceiling a few times… and to be fair to Alfreton they did too. I’m thinking of one moment in particular – how unlucky they were for the ball to smash into the bar then post then crap centre-forward’s head.

Why was Banjo in his own box? (lol)

Which’ll come first, the resurrection of Christ or Banjo’s next goal?

Surely he can’t go another eight games without scoring?

Perfect opportunity on Saturday v Farcely Celtic – shooting practice!

‘Leave it out Renee, don’t pick on the tall fella’

I really hope he bags a hat-trick v Celtic… we’ll need a return from him next season… assuming Whitehall is off at season’s end. Only, it’ll be harder to score a league higher.

Time for Banjo to hit the nitrous button!

What’s Wreh’s injury?

Yes I’m sure the players and management have no idea what to do to keep the squad firing on all cylinders for the rest of this busy month, thanks for offering valuable tips on how it’s done Rene.

Happy to help… always (thumbs up icon)
UTI

[Rene Artois]

Not even on bench last night.
Is he injured / ill?
I stopped listening to pre & post game interviews and reading the OWS.

What a great result in what is going to be a huge month for the club, repeat next Tuesday at Kidderminster and the biggest game of the season follows on Saturday 22nd March. Butler must be well chuffed, he’s had a proper mixed season with wrong team shape and tactics, falling out with radio journalists, fans on his back yet he’s turned things around by being prepared to change and he’s changed because he’s a young manager learning his trade. We still aren’t guaranteed anything from this season but what we have is a good young manager in the making, fair play to him.

A ‘keepie’ even if we aren’t promoted!
Development!

Weds 18th Dec, 2024:

Curzon Ashton 13/5
Kidderminster 9/2
Scunthorpe 6/1
Chorley 14/1
Kings Lynn 16/1
Hereford 22/1
Buxton 22/1

All to play for. The new year and the second half of the season are well worth looking forward to. I think our fortunes are about to change for the better… just a hunch.

Come on Stan!
Watch out for the road works & diversions; no detours necessary.
Drive us over the line!

[Rene Artois]

6/1

We were 6/1 at one point.
Missed a ‘trick’ there.

Maybe the squad are all on? lol

[yeah, I know the rules]

[Rene Artois]

Think we’ve nailed it.
We’re winning games even without Whitehall.
Agadoodoo will hopefully bag a few more.
Champions elect!

Scunthorpe 13/8
Brackley 9/4

Chester 4/1

[Rene Artois]

Withdrawals & supplements seem to be the order of the day.
A number of clubs have made the running but then veer wide at the inconsistency turn and drop back.
We will very quickly be entering the final furlong; hopefully we’ve not peaked too early and have the stamina to win this grand national (north).
The old girl is going well under the young trainer Stan Butler.
On The Buses? – Is it too early to book the bus for Stan’s victory tour?

Scunthorpe 13/8
Brackley Town 9/4

Chester 4/1

Curzon Ashton 10/1
Kidderminster 12/1

Chorley 20/1

[Rene Artois]

As we know, it’s a flip flop, topsy turvy league of inconsistency where anyone can beat anyone else and where 2 + 2 doesn’t = 4

[Rene Artois]

2 wins and a draw so far – 20 days and FIVE games remaining of the month!
Sunbeds, saunas, swimming & massages are the order of the month. Hydration, nutrition, sleep, relaxation… and have some fun – we’re top of the league!
Take it easy guys!

[Rene Artois]

Happy days!
0-2 was 6/1
Keep the run going Stan!

From the 1st whistle on the floor, neat and sharp passing and the passes in front of the runner.

Down the side and crosses or at pace running in on goal and shots from 20 – 30 yds out with front men waiting for rebounds.

Bobo Banjo – Short, Long or Bumper Buster?

[Rene Artois]

We’ll take that!

Recently, we seem to keep throwing in a silly soft goal each game, therefore:

Close but no cigar.
6-5 now (2-1 & 1-0 defeat scorelines)

Chorley have just pulled level against Chester having being 0-2 down.

TBF Rene, I think you’re responsible for creating at least 50% of new threads and rehashing countless others. Are you in Bru semi retirement?

Perhaps we’ve burnt ourselves out?
So many ups & downs, twists & turns… it’s being exhausting.
We’re all hoping we are champions but I doubt if anyone is confident enough to put their shirt on that outcome.
