Smiley Culture

Isn't it weird how you can do two peoples work when left alone for two and a half weeks but as soon as the other person comes back, all sorts starts collapsing after a couple of days of the other person reappearing? This is my work, right now.

Yeah, it's a tough league. Only once or twice this year, not as much as normal. Going to try and get to a few more next season with it being a decent league and hopefully a competitive Stortford side.

Yeah, I definitely want it to be the Ryman Premier, there's some good teams down there in Enfield, Billericay, Wingate & Finchley, Dulwich and Harlow and much less travelling.

And with the problems that have gone on this season, it's not going to be a quick return. That's presuming it's the Ryman and not the Southern League. I'm quite excited about the Harlow games though.

Hopefully they get fucked up by Stortford next season then.

Haven't Dulwich gone all hipster and are the "cool" club in London these days?

Been before, Parents have timeshare over there, absolute blinder of a place for a drink. I've had some good nights there. Should be quality over Christmas.

Went to Rome last weekend, very touristy as you'd expect but a simply stunning city. Managed to blag a free holiday to Tenerife from the 22nd-29th December from my parents, so will be booking that soon. Fancy another city break and a European city break for football next season between now and December though. Not sure where, I fancy somewhere a bit out of the ordinary, maybe Nuremberg or Poland.

Looks like I'll be posting in here from now on

Ed Sheeran can DIAHF.

Kieron Richardson and Nigel Reo-Coker (I forgot he even played anymore) are on trial at Granada. 2003 called and want their up and coming talents back.

Cunningham's gone Legend as a player and will remain as one but he'll be remembered for all the wrong reasons as coach of the club. We need a clean break now, this jobs for the boys culture that exists at the club needs to be broken up, Sean Long and Jamal Lolesli needed to go, as did Mike Rush, a bloke originally employed to work within the Academy set-up, who's somehow CEO of the club.

Tell us the name of the club and we'll set up an English Supporters Club.

What the actual fuck? How the fuck has he blagged that job?

Had two £10 bets on Cambridge -2 vs Orient at 11/4 and 3/1 which has won me £77.50.

No Roby for the next few weeks, so he misses the game that's Wigan have stupidly dubbed "Us v Them". No doubt Lomax will smash his knee to pieces and Smith will snap a leg in the Huddersfield game and we'll end up losing by 30 to Wigan with Cunningham saying "we were close".

Bad night for Southend, losing to Bolton and Tranmere Had highlighted a few games for an Over 1.5 Goals treble that I completely forgot to put on. Of the five games I looked at 4 won, the one that didn't was the one I rated as 5th choice anyway so I wouldn't have included it anyway.

So effectively, instead of being the little club that has had their players taken from them for less than the club values them for, you've become one of the teams to take other team's players for (presumably) less than their respective club's value them for. Morally that may not be right but I'll give you, it's outside of the box and clever if not totally the morally right way to do things.

There's also got to be more reasons behind the closure of the club's academy than they lost one player to Man United, surely? Most clubs outside the Premier League have that problem, ourselves included. We've lost Kaziah Sterling (Spurs), Katelyn Hinds and Jay Beckford (Arsenal) plus a few others who's names escape me.

Shouldn't there be twenty-odd of these threads then? Most sides in or around the Championship have Premier League ambitions.

Bet inplay for Over 0.5 Goals in the 1st half of the Bayern Munich II game earlier at 5/6. I should have waited a few minutes for bigger odds but £5 returned £9.16. Steady start to the weekend.

The way they handled that and how the French welcomed Ben Barba with open arms after being banned by Rugby League for taking cocaine capped a wonderful winter for Rugby Union and it's lack of moral compass.

The Auckland born, Samoa RL international Denny Solomona signs up for the Rest of the World kick and clap side, sorry I meant England side. Some game RU. Ashamed by absolutely nothing.

What is it that makes Australians absolutely mental? Is it the coverage that the game gets because of the popularity so these blokes are under the microscope more than blokes over here? Anyway, two wins from two and the garden is looking slightly rosier for Kieron "Rugby League is a game of chicken" Cunningham and Saints. I'm not convinced this is all Matty Smith's doing either but having a proper half in the side instead of Theo Fages, who's form is erratic at the best of times, and a kid in Danny Richardson, is always going to improve the side. Been over to Championship One (third division) London Skolars a few times this year, they're really doing well on (apart from the humping Toronto gave them) and off the pitch.

Posh folk who like mud wrestling and drinking each other's piss should be on the sex offenders register.
