What does this game mean for the rest of the season? Dunno? Do I look like Mother Shipton? Is she with us in the cave right now?
Can Thorp Arch save our transfer window?

Coming soon: a football club
Players are leaving but not arriving. The ones left behind are being taught to play wi' ball but not wi'out ball. The defending and stuff, hopefully, is coming next week. But in the meantime we had to play Manchester United.
