12.15 on a Saturday is never a good time to be playing football - it's just too early. Everyone's favourite pantomime villain came to play, and as usual, Robbie Savage didn't disappoint.
In front of a tiny crowd (recession, what recession? It was never like this under Labour), and live and exclusive on Sky Sports, Aidy's hotshots huffed, puffed and generally disappointed for 90 minutes. The Chef won a good penalty, which Scrabble thumped home, before Derby's makeshift centre forward scored while unmarked. Plattini came on and got stuck in to good effect, missing by inches. Vivienne clawed a certain goal out in one of his trademark "how did he save that" moments. Then Ten Burners got on the end of the King of the Centre Circle's deep cross, and the points were ours.
Top of the table briefly, then back to 4th.
Still not convincing, but it does take time for the team to gel, and they haven't as yet.
Lion's Den next up, with at least three of us braving the slums of South East London.
