Brewers droop
Followers of the Blue Square Premier will have noted that runaway leaders, Burton Albion, are not running away any more. Their lead is disappearing quickly after gaining one point from their last four games. Their next fixture is away to crisis club, Weymouth (see footballcynic.com/2009/02/24/comedy-of-terras.aspx). If they can't win there, the gathering pack of Cambridge United, Torquay United and Histon (yes, Histon) will be snapping away at their heels for the automatic promotion spot to Division 2 (4TEF, as we call it). Can Nigel Clough's replacement at the Brewers, Roy McFarland, organise a piss up in a brewery? We shall see.
I had noticed Burton were going to the dogs, but didnt know they were nicknamed The Brewers. Have you also noticed that they are starting to get p***ed on in Histon? Of course, at Cambridge, where Lady Knobhead and I attended Younee, as they call it oftentimes, they breed a wholly better breed of footballer. My money is on Torquay United down their on the English Costa Brava. (FootballCynic writes: You could be wrong, Lord Knobhead. Torquay's big tough centre halves are off form - they've become known as the faulty towers).
