I’m basically an anime figure with hearts bursting out of my eyes right now. Angles 4-0 Braintree, I have put myself out there and said we will finish 8th this season so nice that we’ve had a good start and I don’t look like a total idiot. Braintree are probably quite bad because they’ve had a transfer embargo since relegation but it’s still a statement win with two new players scoring (Tanga who we poached from the Scum with 2) and Frankie Baker, a class youth player we had on loan from Millwall U21 last season, scoring too.
And the Scum lost which is just the cherry on top.
Torquay at home next week will be the real test
Annoyingly I told my friend I’d be at her birthday party if we were away and didn’t caveat that there were 4 away games I needed to go to this season. This was one of them. SIGH. Ticked off Scunthorpe which with a taxi to the station was just about doable for the start of the party (near Wakefield)
My aim for this season is completing the National League. 13/24 now
1-1 against Scarborough Athletic at halftime. A defensive howler gifted them the lead, and then a lovely looking goal levelled it for King’s Lynn just before halftime. Most of the racist pricks seem to have died/got banned/stood themselves a fair way away from me so it’s not been so bad.
Guess which (English) non-league club’s replica shirt I saw donned by someone this morning at Kings Cross Tube entrance. AFAIK it’s not one supported by any DiSer.
