14th September: Chester City 0 Villa 1. It's gone beyond a
joke now. No, that's not right. This one was a joke, so bad it was funny. The mood was set
by the team line up, five at the back against a team 86 places below us in the league
who've got one up front. And that set the scene for the night's 'entertainment'. There's
no point dwelling on this match, I would hate to remind anybody who was there of the
ninety minute endurance test they went through. If there had been anything on offer
outside the ground, or if the social club hadn't forgot to renew their licence, I wonder
how many would have stayed to the end. At half time there was a good few wondering if it
was worth the fifteen minute hike to the nearest pub. After the match fun-loving Johnnie G
had the nerve to praise the players for keeping a clean sheet. It's almost like he's doing
it deliberately.
