If you think THAT is a Black Cat Moan, you should see the Saints message boards.

Apparently the team were genuinely feeble today, after being superb week after week in the league.

Hmmmm....

Wrexham's Jekyll & Hyde season continues ... Last week we were thumped at home by Dartford from the lower echelons and then we hold the early pace-setters Cambridge to a 0-0 draw. It's not all beer-and-skittles in the Conference y'know

[BBMmk2]

Rather annoying that draw with Hull!! :(

I'm reminded of the old joke about the two castaways stranded on the desert island - anyway they've been there a while and one day one of them says ' I see St Mirren got beat today!' His fellow castaway says 'How the heck do you know that?' 'Well it's Saturday innit!'

Gubbed again!!! Freefall! Manager's coat on shoogliest of pegs!!!!
