It's only November and for some reason we're starting the return fixtures already. We've not played a handful of teams yet, but hot on the heels of our home battering of Kidlington (a result that looks even better in hindsight after they handed Marlow their arses back to them and told them to piss off midweek) we take a trip back up the sphincter of the M1 and into the bumhole of Britain that is Bedfordshire.
Apparently, the experts and bookies thought Bedford would be there or there abouts when it came to promotion and the playoffs, but as always they know absolutely fuck all and they're no where to be seen languishing in 15th.
But as we know, this has no bearing on the team we will face. The table seems to lie like Donald Trump's promises and we've been stung by Arseley and Uxbridge. Form means very little as one minute Histon are buggering teams 6-2 and the next they are being shafted by Fleet in the last ten minutes.
The Bedfords are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to Kempston which really didn't help us very much having not played midweek as Egham were pissing about in the Cunty Cup or the Tinpot League Cup or whatever, but we can steal a march on Royston Potato Peelers as they're playing in the Trophy, and long may that continue.
Don't expect any favours from the Towners today. The bastards.
Good news and bad news this week. Charlie "Chaplin" Allen departed for foreign fields as we knew would happen but credit to Spencer he's brought in some talented chaps to fill his shoes. Eagle eyed Boro faithful members may have noticed that Michael "Churchill" Onovwigan made his debut centuries before the club announced his arrival, coming on for Chaplin in the second half against the Kidders. Alongside him came Femi "Dom" Orenuga. That's not going to confuse match reports and opposition team sheets much is it. They should take our lead and come up with witty nicknames to avoid any unnecessary embarrassment.
Anyway, Dom looks like he goes like shit off a shovel and knows where the onion bag is so this can only be a good thing. We haven't been operating with wingers recently, relying on the width coming from Tiny Dancer and Clintons has been more central but I'm sure Spencer knows what he's doing. He looks like he could be useful up top with the little fella.
It's anyone's guess whether the gaffa will play Churchill from the start or if Misha will step in to Chaplin's boots, although he's a small chap and looks like he's got smaller feet. He's more than capable and has faced the might of Bedford once this season already.
Justice has been done. Ollie "Hands" Treacher is off the hook and the blatant handball that no one seemed to dispute has been rescinded and he can line up alongside Fogle, who himself has signed back up for another two months which is ball bouncingly brilliant news.
Bedford's Team; who gives a tuppenny fuck.
COME ON YOU YELLOWS.
