Go for it later today, Sandy.
Any post-match entries that there might have been would normally appear by now...

Ok then.
After literally seconds of careful deliberation, here are the results of the Sandbach jury after some fine entries this time:
In 3rd place is ceefer with "The Magnificent 11 will bring Chorley's demise". That would have featured higher, but after County let me/us down last night I refuse to allow such an upbeat and optimistic last line to win.
In 2nd place, countyfan with "Then celebrate with mulled wine and mince pies". Not quite as upbeat (despite predicting a celebration) but soon-to-be topical and it filled me with pleasant thoughts of yuletide snackage (good name for a band that, "Yuletide Snackage") But my winner is based on the fact it reflected my mood last night, even though I wasn't working like our poor winner.
Step up to the podium, Gazza, with his line: "So let's go get 'em, I'll be even more pissed off in work tonight otherwise". It doesn't really scan, well.... at all, but the passion and frustration born out of that last line struck a chord with me and, I'm sure, others. And if we let little rules like scanning and rhyming stand in the way of a well thought out last line, then Dudley might as well pack his bags now.
Well done Gazza, and to everyone one else who entered. You're all winners in my eyes*
*But Gazza is the only winner as far as choosing the next champ is concerned. |

Wow, a win! Cheers, Sandy. I was half asleep when I wrote that one too, it seems there's a lot to be said for being in a semi-conscious state!
Congrats to ceefer and countyfan on their podiums too.
Cheers to Sandy and to the King himself, Lennie!

Cheers Gazza. The sawn off golf clubs are ready prepared. Hope she's left handed.
