Slightly better than Frankie's  We're still looking for our first win, and with Scouseport away on Sat'day I'm feeling a certain affinity with a fillet of fish at Harry Ramsdens.  |

Harry Ramsden? You sure? I now look upon them as the Tesco of chippy world - big enough to get it right, but at a price - and at the expense of local expertise! My father-in-law, a full-on Yorkshire traditionalist has his favourite chippies in places like Scarborough, Whitby, Blackpool, and any major conurbation where bowls is played to a high standard, and he'll tell you that Harry is all hype   Support your local chippist! Just like Wilf does.  Oh, and go and get some points! You really can't be relying upon other peeps going bust Frankie! I may have to come up and sort you lot out at this rate.  |

Nope using tutors laptit! Am I the only person wondering what a 'laptit' is? Tamuff have been improving steadily, but the quality of the opposition is so poor I'm still having trouble describing us as 'good'. Second in the table Harrogate visited on Saturday - they had about 12 fans and their team bothered for about 12 minutes out of the 90. At least TFC have started to look interested. Another game when we should have hit double figures. We have Gateshead at home on Saturday. Obviously Pyramid Portal's support did the trick for them. I won't be happy if they get any points. |

I was thinking, we're gonna get "battered". I refered to HR because we all know it's a chip shop, If I'd said Waldo's (nice chippy in Sutton-on-sea) who'd have known. On the points front, we really are struggling and TBH I wouldn't want to be saved by someone elses demize 'cos we'd only have another season of struggling. If you do find yourself in our neck of the wood my owd give me nudge and I'm sure there'll be a pint for you. |

ah; irony! ;D You are a mere 75 miles adrift from me these days Frankie - was thinking of pootling up for the Hinckley game. Daft really, as Hinckley is closer to me than you are! Google doesn't understand Laptit either Jase; I would put it down to a rather relaxed attitude to the English language, or it having something to do with teenagers - which suggests indirectly that you are ageing, dear boy!  |

There's plenty of direct evidence that I'm aging too, youth!
I'm hoping a 'laptit' is a bit like a lapdog: a little bundle of warm flesh (with a nipple) that's happy to sit on your lap whilst you stroke it. If the 'laptit' doesn't already exist, there's probably a market for it!

AFC Telford Utd
P8 W4 D2 L2
Currently 5th in the Conference North
We are more or less where we would want to be at this stage of the season. Started with a bright performance in an 2-2 away draw at Stalybridge and then a comfortable 4-2 home win against Hinckley. I missed the Blyth match (first home game I've missed since February 2005) but we won 2-1, was back from holiday for the 1-0 win at Redditch, not a vintage performance but we held them off in the 2nd half and they never looked like breaking level. This was then followed by 2 rather lacklustre performances in a 0-0 draw at home to Alfreton and a 1-0 defeat at Droylsden, we weren't that bad we just weren't that good either. We then fell to a 2-0 defeat away at Harrogate, we went behind in the first half where we never really got going, came out fighting and somehow failed to score, harrogate then grabbed a 2nd in a rare counter attack. A game we really did not deserve to lose. We came back with a 2-1 home win against Gainsborough with a late winner headed home by Gavin Cowan. We played Gainsborough a 2nd time in 4 days on Tuesday and came back from a 2-0 deficit to record a 3-2 win after extra time in the Setanta Shield.
Encouraged by the results so far and the team seemed to be starting to gel in the last couple of games. Looking at the teams we've played so far we have already played 6 of the other top 10 teams and are yet to play a team from the bottom 9. Then again it is always the teams lower in the table who seem to cause us problems. The win against Hinckley now looks to be a very valuable 3 points as it is something yet to be managed by another team.
A long way to go yet but so far so good, would like to se eus push on now but we'll have to wait and see.

We're still rubbish having not won in eight. At this rate we'll be relegated before the "world famous Nottingham goose fair" which no one outside of Nottinghamshire has ever heard of.
BTW, it takes place the first week of October.

Well obviously 'laptit' is another term for laptop. I understand my daughter even if no-one else does.
Anyway, the Dons carry on their winning ways. Another 3 points today and only dropped 4 so far.
This is getting scary.

Frankie will probably give the news sooner or later but I believe Hucknall got their first win tonight.
Fleetwood 1-3 Hucknall
Fleetwood held us to a 0-0 draw at the New Bucks Head on Saturday, we were the better team but were unable to score, even when given a pnealty. Terry Fearns' effort being well save dby the Fleetwood keeper. At former clubs Fearns has been so well known for his penalty scoring that he is referred to as Fearns Pen - that being what it says on score updates regularly. So far though we've had two penalties, the other was put wide by Terry Fearns in a 0-0 draw with Alfreton. Terry hasn't scored for a few games and i think it's a case of his confidence being low at the moment.
This Saturday we're making the long journey up to Gateshead, though having already done Harrogate on a Tuesday atleast it isn't the same as two years ago when we did Gateshead on a Monday.

Fleetwood have just sacked their manager, assistant manager and 1st team coach. That seems a bit extreme. www.fleetwoodtownfc.com/ |

A good manager in the North West Counties and the Unibond is not necessarily as good in Conf Norf. |

What a relief, and what a difference a win makes, feel a lot better and it's good to be off the bottom. Confidence will be greatly boosted and hopefully if we can get a win against Workington on Sat'day (who have yet to win away) the gloom will start to lift. There is still a long way to go but we've now made that first step. COME ON YOU YELLOWS. ;D |

Support your local chippist! Just like Wilf does.
