JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS.....

......when the raindrops of football kept falling on my head.   A painful litany of defeats for some of the teams that have the unnerving habit of producing results that  are disappointing.  I shouldn`t really complain about Southampton losing at Norwich of all places but I will.  The 2-1 loss to the team propping up the rest of the Premier League came as a particular setback given that the Saints had been on a five game unbeaten run and dominated the encounter at Carrow Road.  A win would have propelled Southampton into something like 7th or 8th place but as it is they remain 13th with the prospect of a visit to Anfield next Saturday.   Another of those days beckons I guess.

A quick round up elsewhere beginning - and why not? - with my neighbour`s Gillingham going down 2-0 away at Crewe`s Gresty Road;  Fort William, bless them, suffered a 10-0 drubbing at the hands of  Deveronvale, who play at Banff - a mere 130 miles away and fellow minnows Stoke Gabriel and Torbay Police FC went down to the narrowest of margins, a 2-1 reverse away at Cullompton Rangers. 

There were some wins, however - Truro City went all the way to Kings Langley in Hertfordshire (a mere 525 mile round trip) and managed a 1-0 win;  Maidstone United beat Chippenham Town by the same score but it was once again Brechin City to go nap for th second week running in a 5-0 win away at Lossiemouth.   Mercifully, Aldershot Town didn`t have a game - they entertain Torquay United on Tuesday evening when we hope that our street`s hitherto pacy representative Scott ("Six pack") Wagstaff will have recovered from his recent `knock.`

In the end I suppose the results were mixed but somehow Southampton`s unfathomable defeat at Norwich was just silly.   Oh well, I`m never gonna stop the rain by complaining.....
