ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE DAYS.......

I guess you can tell by the illustration that, as bunnies go, I`m not an especially happy one this morning.  The reason?  Well, it`s time to report on another weekend`s football and with the odd exception, there`s not much to lift the gloom.

Think it might be best to just list the results, so here goes:-


Arsenal 3 - Southampton 0. (Well, what can you expect when we had to recruit a 40-year  old free agent goalkeeper on a month long contract as our two `proper` keepers are both out injured and our third in line is about 12 years old;  and there were suspensions and injuries as well.  And we`ve never ever won a Premier League game away at Arsenal.  So there.)

Fleetwood Town 2 - Gillingham 1.  (My neighbour`s heroes seem to be taking up residence in the drop zone of League One - how long can chubby manager Steve Evans survive, I wonder?)

Fraserburgh 12 - Fort William 0.  (A classic top v bottom outcome in the Highland League.)

Truro City 2 - Farnborough 2.

Maidstone United 4 - Dartford 0.  (The Stones coming out on top in a top of the table local derby.)

Stoke Gabriel and Torbay Police FC 2 - Elburton Villa 3. (Another narrow defeat for the minnows in the South West Peninsula Premier Division East, but one which keeps them bottom of the league on goal difference only from Sidmouth Town.  SG&TPFC are currently minus 64 and Sidmouth minus 63 - it`s tight at the bottom, to be fair.)

Bo`ness 0 - Vale of Leithen 1.  (Miracle do happen.  Vale`s first win in 22 games, as a result of which their goal difference now shows a more healthy minus 116.)

Brechin City`s game was again called off due to waterlogged pitch at Keith but I`m pleased to note that our street`s local hero Scott (`Shot`) Wagstaff was back in business coming on in the second half of Aldershot`s impressive away win at Eastleigh, having missed the last few games with `a knock.`  Good to see him back in action.
