Vital Football Legend
There's a match on tonight at the stadium formerly known as the World Famous City Ground.
Pope must be home from school by now but we have to presume he is sufficiently disillusioned that he can't be arsed to trawl the stats for us. A pity for us, but who can blame him? You? Can you? No, thought not.
Boro are also shit. But they have managed to average a point a game from the first six, with three draws and a win at home vs Bristol City. On two occasions they have scored twice in the same game - fancy that! - a feat we have achieved only once. They have also twice conceded three, so our red hot strikers will be licking their lips at the prospect of a cricket score.
For them, Ikpeazu and Crooks have both played every match and have chalked up two goals each.
Despite talk of fine margins and no signs of the players turning on CH, morale must be low at the CG as well as here on Vital and there is a very real prospect this bitch won't make two pages unless the manager goes. Or stays. Either way, you can expectthrills, goals and moaning.
Scattered clouds but little chance of rain falling on the loyal masochists comprising the home crowd. Temperatures dropping from 17 to 15 degrees during the match and we can expect a touch of frost in the boardroom afterwards.
My prediction? No-one cares, but as it happens I'm throwing caution to the wind (3mph westerly) and predicting our first league win of the season.
