Albion 2 – Kinder Eggs 0 (That Don’t Impress-a Me Much)
Rubbish performance, three points under the belt. Guess you can’t complain. Unless you saw it with your own eyes. Luton deserved total respect for bringing their giant static mural down on the Thameslink for propping up at the away end, tho you can’t help feel that bringing down a couple of dozen fans to get behind their team would have helped them more (biggest noise from the away end was when they trundled off at half-time, for reasons best know to themselves)
And The Albion? Feeble. Really feeble. Tho when you are as pitiful as that and STILL pick up three points, you’re in a division too low. Cheers for that Hinsh mate. Dunno where to start really. With the keeper would seem a good place. Ben Roberts is a SAFE PAIR OF HANDS and for me shades it over FDM now. If for no other reason than his kicks are less, uh, exotic, and he heads the ball clear as he sees fit. No more mazy dribbles, which is good for the collective heart rate of the South Stand.
Butters played today. Actually looked like a football player. Actually looked like a football player called Steve Foster in the twilight of his career when he was reduced to standing on one spot and heading balls away thirty yards forward. Still, nice to see him on the pitch & he didn’t look out of place – respect where it’s due. Not at all happy with the strike force tho OK Leon ‘He Shoots He Scors Hes Only Five Foot Four’ Knight grafts bigtime. He’s got the same limitations as OGH up front tho and was marked out of the game today. Given an unsympathetic referee, he’ll get nothing. Has to be said, not at all impressed by Darius Henderson either. He ain’t half as good as he thinks he is, and looks like Butters after a couple of months on the Atkins Diet. There was some talk that he got the first goal, tho the smarter of us called it correctly as an own goal. Charlie Oatway got the much-needed clincher five minutes from time with a well-struck shot straight thru the keepers hands. Shame, he hadn’t been dodgy up to that point.
Couple of maddish sendings off. Early in the second half, it seemed like they stopped for a cricket style ‘tea’ or something. Water bottles being passed around with gay abandon and, sure, why not? Tho at the end of the unscheduled break, no. 19, one Steve Howard, got his marching orders. Apparently for what he said to linesman Mr. Jarnail Singh. And in a second hit-with-the-stupid-stick incident, the Luton manager, Mike Newell, was escorted off by stewards. Not for the blatantly obvious crime of wearing a Mr.Byrite’s shirt & tie combo in the style capital of Cool Britannia, but for bizarrely trying to intercept Chris McPhee on an uncharacteristic run down the wing.
Ah feckit. Three points in the bag so who cares. We were rubbish but they were rubbisher…
BTW this review was destined for the official site os I said I would but as that piece of shit won't even accept my login without timing out, it once again loses out. Tho it does appear to have been updated to show us one-nil up at half-time courtesy of a Henderson goal. Who cares aye?(and wheres the wanker smiley when you need it...)
