Good afternoon, and a warm welcome to those fans who have made the trip from Telford. We sincerely hope you enjoy your day but leave empty-handed!
I shall let my esteemed co-writer ponder the disappointing Gloucester and Histon results, although, due to being the wrong side of the Channel over half-term, he wasn’t at either match so don’t let him fool you with his in-depth analysis!
In the meantime, what’s been happening in Heaven? Well, firstly, congratulations to Downy and Archie who have clocked up 3,000 and 2,000 posts respectively. It has become a tradition that, when a member reaches a significant milestone (in increments of 1,000 posts) they are treated to some congratulatory artwork courtesy of Gazza and these latest announcements were certainly up to his usual high standard.
In ‘General Football Chat’, Collinge has been promoting his concept for revolutionising how the World Cup is structured, and Oshorwilliamsrightpeg has been explaining why the Premier League is more interesting now that our near-neighbours aren’t fighting between themselves for the title any more. I take great pleasure in seeing them both languishing in mid-table, not least because I have a self-imposed ban on including any Un*t*d or C*ty players in my Fantasy Football Team!
Lastly, special mentions to Market Harborough who was victorious in October’s Prediction League, and young Macc Junior who, when faced with the tie-break question of guessing the attendance at Sunderland v Newcastle, was only 8 away! Astonishing achievement, particularly when his old man was nearly 1,000 off (still, I can’t talk, I was nearly 2,000 off!)!
So, Maccy. Tu as passé de bonnes vacances?

Oui, c’etait très bien, Sandy - merci.
Football-wise, my trip hasn’t been all that, mind - as the Macc Family’s adopted Gallic club, FC Dieppe, have ‘done a Gainsborough’ in the course of our stay and got themselves expelled from the French Cup for fielding a suspended player. Quel dommage!
Following the fortunes of County from across the water, I rather got the impression that four points from the six available against Gloucester and Histon could, on the balance of play, have represented a fairer return than the solitary one that was picked up in the first game. But that may just have been the holiday Chablis talking...
And so to Telford, who, like us, lost their Conference Premiership place last term. As the original white-hot favourites to win the the Skrill North title, they have not quite set this league alight to date - whilst admittedly faring a tad better than the original red-hot second favourites (erm... us, lest we forget) - but, as County know well from the last couple of seasons, matches against The Bucks are always closely-contested affairs, with all four having ended drawn. Let us hope the boys in blue can break that pattern today - in a good way... naturellement!
Enjoy the game. And, if you find yourself in the Club Shop beforehand or afterwards, be sure to make the most of an opportunity to buy one of the last remaining ‘CHAOS’ books.
Animo et Fido. Vive le County!
