Sat 22nd August - Wycombe


WWFC today, so it’s personal. Not the riff-raff from up the road but the upwardly mobile ones from Buckinghamshire. A thirteen big ones entry fee lightened the load on the old wallet - and they say football still belongs to the working classes!  It would if the working classes were taking home £28k per annum.

Didn’t see many signs of the blue collar worker around Adams Park. However we did see plenty of evidence of red collar workers as the Saddlers grafted their arses off to secure another handy triple pointer.

The home side offered little and the reds accepted another OG, appearing again alongside a tidy Rammell finish in front of a sizeable Saddlers contingent. As the ball hit the back of the net I remembered just what it was like. Twelve relatively inactive weekends had allowed the memory to falter slightly but it was crystal clear again. There is no, and I mean no, feeling like the ball hitting the back of the opposition net.

Wayne Dyer appeared for his debut and has legs that resemble those of Moses Kiptanui. Man of the Match was probably Andy Rammell, who led the line magnificently and grafted all afternoon when we didn’t have the ball.

The Walsall aces take fourth place in the table and I’m feeling a little giddy already. Surely it can’t go on like this.
