Well, ‘Jimmy’ got 66% of his predictions correct: City drew with Orient (after having gone behind again) and Scunny drew with Port Vale, but he got Old Ham v Forest very wrong indeed.
Old Ham won 5-0 and Forest finished with nine men. Still, I trusted ‘Jimmy’, had a flutter and won back more than I spent so I’m not complaining. The results leave City in no man’s land between the playoff contenders and the automatic promotion spots.
We’ve been here before and will be here again. I’m trying to remain positive but I’m having occasional flashbacks...
Elsewhere, something mildly surprising happened: Paul LeGuen left Glasgow Rangers by mutual consent - presumably as opposed to being forced into it by a dose of Rohypnol or several pints of ‘heavy’ and a deep fried Mars Bar. Talking of the old heave ho tin tack treatment, the following NFL coaches have fallen on their swords: Denny Green (Arizona) to no-one’s surprise and Jim Mora (Atlanta) in what seems to be a joint effort by the ownership and Ron Mexico.
I am not visiting any of the usual American sites today because I recorded Notre Dame v LSU and don’t want to do a Likely Lads. Madame Zaza predicts: Brady Quinn has a magnificent game, Al Davros calls him afterwards and pleads with him to come to Oakland – and he breaks both his legs in the first minicamp after the Raiders draft him.
There was also plenty of evidence yesterday that pointed to Dolphin coach Nick Saban being hired to coach Alabama for several thousand wheelbarrows full of US dollars. It makes sense; he steered LSU to a share in the ‘National Championship’ a couple of seasons ago and he knows SEC football.
But the best story of Bowl Season: Boise State beating Oklahoma. I’ll stick more stuff on here when I get it, but it’s one of those stories that Hollywood would laugh at as being unbelievable. Stay tuned and find out why.
