I'm still here, somehow, from the first game of the season but at least we seem to be playing better now.... even without our sold 3 best players.
As in my last crap MDT v Dull, nothing of any consequence happens in Bumley so I haven't got a lot to work with.... I was going to pad it out by slaughtering Lord Windywilly and his inaccurate weather forecasts, but I thought I'd give him a week off as he takes it so seriously and thinks he's some kind of celebrity oop north.
Bumley is famous for being a prominent mill town with a super shopping centre and natural landscapes.... and that's it! That's all they've got on their town website! I suppose I can't take the piiss out of them too much as I come from Luton.
Famous people from Bumley include:
Quality fast bowler Jimmy Anderson....
The Chuckle Brothers....
Harry Potter actor Sir Ian McKellan....
Dougie Bader....
And, wait for it, a fkn Britain's Got fkn Talent finalist from 2009!!
Bumley could have as many as 9 players out and will no doubt put 10 behind the ball and hope to nick a point from a set piece.... I hope Jaidon Anthony gets a good reception though after losing a family member and still making himself available for us even though he knew he'd only be on the bench. I thought he should have got far more games /minutes for us....
I'm going for a positive 2-1 victory with a Joseph brace....
If we DO win this game we can go top of the Championship, just one point behind the leaders....
Chuffin' Portsmouth all over again. Only Leeds.
