Get Innocuous
Football can set people off on unexpected journeys, the roads as confusing and unsignposted as the lane linking the People’s Republic of Brill Hill with the scum in Ludgershall. Think of Jermain Defoe and Leon Knight, who played in the same team as youngsters. Both scored their first goals for their new sides today, though the former was facing the richest team in Europe while the latter was facing Accrington Stanley.No matter, each goal will have felt as sweet.
Think also of Neil Lennon who 11 months ago was playing at the San Siro against AC Milan and today was performing in front of 1200 flat-capped northern droolers at the Crown Ground.
No matter, he’s a professional footballer, this is what he does.
If the team had beaten Dagenham last Tuesday there’d now only be one team (and not even a proper club at that) with more points in the division. With 16 games to go, this is the best chance of promotion since being relegated into this godforsaken division four years ago. All the hysterical drones who campaigned for Paul Lambert to be sacked just two months ago should spend time this evening reflecting on how a 46 game season is a long time. Let’s get physical.

Of course, I meant attached, not attached. The beers I've been having to celebrate our excellent win today must be having an effect on my spelling.
