We can still be friends then Sainty. Sounds like a good game and one of two halves at that.
I'm probably happier than you - we should have been killed off etc - and I look forward to your comments.

Never heard of Curzon Ashton.

THanks for an excellent round up ER.
Alison should be happy enough with a point at the death, although Leicester absolutely battered Saints in the second half, and we were happy enough to get off the park with a point.

As you know, I wasn't there today, Alison. Sounded as though 2-0 rather flattered us at half time, and it was one way traffic in the second half. certainly sounded an exciting game, and a point a piece won't do either of us any harm.

Saints are a better side when being unadventurous this season, sad to say.

City's turn round in fortunes has really been astonishing, and Vardy must be hell to have to defend against.

[Lat-Literal]

Very disappointing performance from York today.

Wilcox - "I feel for the York fans again. They got behind the team really well and we've got to produce better than that."

Position - 21st.

A decent performance from Arsenal against Watford this evening.

Position - 2nd.

Never heard of Curzon Ashton.

Quite a well known non league club in the Greater Manchester area.
Never thought I'd see the day when SCFC would be playing them in the same division
Sorry about the Chelmsford (and Truro)lack of info Alison.
Still can't access the conference website and the club sites hadn't been updated last time I looked

Hereford 7 Hinton 0 (Herefordshire County Cup)

Didn't know AH of this parish,and Hereford based,had a club named after him

Thanks Alison - nice to beat a team we should be beating for a change and charge into mid-table. The Foxes are really becoming a team of two-halves - the manager must notice something early on and stick it into the half-time orange slices. Vardi's something else. Southern sainty must have been very glad of the head start.
Are you sure Curzon Ashton isn't a cinema team? Sounds like it should be.

Thanks for the update, Rob.

Hereford 6 Continental Star (hands up if you've heard of them) 0 Another big win for the league leaders

I haven't heard of any of Hereford's opponents and I'd certainly fail a geography test about them, probably with zero marks. Good to hear that things are on the up for Hereford though.
