A Season of Three Thirds

Whilst fighting my way out through the crowds after we'd been held to a draw by 10-man Histon, two things struck me. Firstly, the season cannot end soon enough, and secondly, I'd decided this season had fallen into three rather neat chunks.


Allow me to explain....



Poppies No.1 Line-Up (The "Facebook" XI)


New season, new faces. Francis Green and Damian Spencer to be knocking them in from Lee Fowler's telling through balls. Football League HERE WE COME!

Soon numerous players are griping on their social networking sites about everything under the Sun, except, strangely, their own moderate performances.


Poppies No.2 Line-Up (The "Mercenary" XI)

Moses Ashikodi, Anthony Elding and Simon Heslop provide the quality the Facebook Team lacked. Football League, and FA Cup Final HERE WE COME!

Big players on big money playing the big games. Unfortunately in front of smaller and smaller crowds.....



Poppies No.3 Line-Up (The "Bring Your Boots" XI)

No money, no crowds, no wins. Bargain basement trawling has "unearthed" the likes of Elliott Charles, James Dance and Pascal Egigbo.

Plenty of graft but zero guile. Cricket season HERE WE COME!
