The Opponent: Crawley Town
This is going to be short and sweet. Its great when 2 hours before the start of 2014 you realise you have a game of football to attend the following day, as well as the honoured privilege of starting another thread. Well, I'm not going to say much about the baggage handlers, we only played them 6 league games ago so fuck ‘em. They have never beat us in the league anyway and if you look up the word ‘tinpot’ in more reputable dictionaries it will simply read the words “Crawley Town” next to it. Even without the lardy lizard Evans I have no particular fondness of them as a team and would be amazed if more than 200 of their massive away following manage to get a day off from Upper Crust at Gatwick Airport to make the long trek. A big thank you to Nicky Ajose, I would love to see him back here in a Town short which he served well all the time he was with us. On the other side of the coin, cheerio Nile.
Happy New Year to one and all from The TEF, every cunt, from every corner of the globe, may it be peaceful and prosperous for you all.
Where the opposition gather – I am not wasting my time. You have to complete a Krypton Factor style registration to read the thoughts of their coach load of supporters, I for one, can’t be arsed.
Last 6 – DLDLLW (13th on 29 points)
They have served us both – Nicky Ajose, Gary Alexander, Phil Smith, Leon Clarke, Nathan Byrne, Luke Rooney, Kevin James, Jimmy Glass, Elliot Benyon
The Odds - Swindon 11/10 Draw 5/2 Crawley 11/4 There has been a drift out with our price over the last 24 hours. Most places had us as short as evens but this has drifted throughout the day with most of them.
The Son Says – I was expecting 3-0 to be his guess but he kept it simple for me with a confident 2-0 prediction in our favour.
The Prediction – We will win this before we go on the start of a 16 game unbeaten run. 2-0 will be the score with goals from Luongo and Foderingham in front of 8’343 (179 arriving in 25 people carriers from Gatwick).
And Finally – The Cure were formed in Crawley in 1976 by Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and soapy tit wank Tolhurst, all of whom attended St Wilfrid's RC School.
