Scunthorpe - how low can we go?

God only knows why Sky chose Scunthorpe vs Coventry as their glamour tie for the weekend, but they did. And how we suffered.

Celebrating 2 years in charge, Arson watched as a bench full of toddlers watched a pitch full of headless chickens look totally out of their depth. Angie should have scored, but refused to pass to More Reasons. More Reasons threw the toddlers' toys out of the pram, before the Gunner set up Angie to miss again from close range.

Then the back 4, or was it 3, or 5, or 2? - still don't know for sure, let the Scunny forward score from 18 yards.

We huffed, and puffed (where is our fitness coach) and then Madine missed two sitters in the final ten minutes.

We lost 1-0. Embarrassingly.

Two years on, Arson has taken us backwards, apparently because the ticket revenues haven't met budget so they haven't been able to spend money on players.

January will see Angie and Vivienne move on for a combined fee of about £2m to balance the books. The Coalman will receive money to fund wages for a free transfer, and we'll be fighting relegation for the rest of the season. It's chicken and egg isn't it - poor crowds = fewer £s through the tills = worse players. Arson, you have to face the fact that only you can break this cycle, you have to invest in the team to improve results and bring back the paying punters. That's just the way it works unfortunately. A hedge fund that refuses to speculate to accumulate is usually called a deposit account.......

This is looking bad, but regular reader(s) of the blog will notice we've been saying this since before the start of the season.

Newcastle at the Ricoh in 48 hours time. We will obviously win this 2-1 in a storming game with a great mid-week atmosphere, and paper over the cracks/chasms for another few days.

PUSB - keep the faith, keep supporting, and keep polishing that CV for when the Coalman gets the push to divert attention away from the Chairman.
