Stanley Gibbons
Matches between any of the 12 founder members of the Football League are always interesting, but today the only two playing in League 2 battled away at Meadow Lane. In the end, Accrington Stanley won 2-1 at the home of Sol Campbell's ex-team mates, Notts County. Accrington Stanley re-entered the Football League in 2006 and are now on the verge of the League Two play-offs. Their recent re-entry to the Football League meant that all 12 of the founder members are now enjoying league football. At Notts County, things are not so clear. As Munto Finance hand over the reins to Peter Trembling, the fans could be forgiven for, well, trembling with fear. Whether Sven leads Notts County to the Premiership as planned will remain questionable. However, hats off to Accrington Stanley, a team that no one has a bad word for.
Sir - as an avid philatelist (philately will get you nowhere says Lady Knobhead), I found the headline somewhat curious. Are you implying (or is it inferring, I always get confused) that Notts County are a bunch of gibbons? I always thought baboons (or perhaps buffoons) was the appropriate term. (FootballCynic writes: It was one of the young lads in the office that wrote this headline, Lord Knobhead. He won a colouring competition and his price was to make up a headline. It won't happen again)
