Sultana Bran Shield against Tampax

Was it a commercial showdown with pea shooters and toilet roll tubes as weapons of choice or an extra match dreamt up to generate more money and honour sponsorship deals whilst licking the bollocks of the corporate world.
Who cares?
We are now out of this now meaningless competition and free to concentrate on avoiding relegation whilst being managed by a tactical genius.Well he must be a genius because most of his decisions are beyond my realm of intellectual capacity.
No JJ from the start again?Who would of bet on raindrops running down the window on that one?
I missed the first goal because I was too busy proving the the theory of six degrees of separation with the shrimp man and his compatriot the Mechanic.The theory is so totally cool and works.
The verdicts of the guys and well more guys(I don't talk to girls at football)were that it was a very well worked goal,we were still in the changing room and thirdly he was at least three yards offside with the incompetent linesman stuck on the half way line and not up with play.Whatever!the goal was a goal and we were behind to a side managed by the Legend Gary Mills (My Great Escape T-shirt is mounted in a frame on the wall).A second goal soon followed and although we had a bit of play in the first half it was absorbed by the Tampax with considerable ease.
The second half was better and I guess that the Uncle Keith half time team speech took the players back in time to before the decorators moved in as we caused the Tampax some pain and discomfort.We were in fact a bit unlucky to not get the game level and if it wasn't for some very good defending of the long grass we would of took the game to the joy of extra time and penalties.
Is it of any surprise that the introduction of an extra midfielder and JJ helped spark this revival after going with one up front again for ten minutes whilst being 2-0 down..WTF?.
It was great build up play for the goal (We can do it) and JJ got the goal that will now spark up his confidence Uncle Keith(You will have to play him for that spark to ignite though)
So what did we learn from last night?
1) JJ needs to start with Jack up front
2) We need to sacrifice a wide man and play Fisk,Mitchell,Sedgemore(He was poor last night.What's up with the guy?Has Gary Neville promised his bum fluff moustache to someone else?)and one of the wide guys.Stick a pin in them both and see who squeals more like a Frog who decide which one.

3)We are too lightweight in midfield.
4)If Lord M jumps towards you to celebrate a goal, flee for the sake of your ribs and anything else that is breakable.The carnage of his goal celebration is still being assessed with A&E still reporting fractures and crush injuries at dinner time today.
5) The Rock Star played Devils Advocate with the question.
If you had a choice of Webb or Evans who would you choose?
6)What a Fantastic Crowd who parted with extreme levels of pennies.£10 !?Guess the rod for the back was made with the price of the friendlies.
7)Do we not bother to cut the grass anymore or mark out the white lines on the pitch.
The pitch is beginning to resemble a drug free meadow.
7)Thank fuck we are out of that pointless competition.
8)I still hate Tamworth (Yuk! I had to spell the word)
