Like father, like son? It looks a bit that way this week. Well done to tipster of the week (Again I think) u45d who managed an amazing 73 (Grandstand style -Seventy Three) points followed by Jack The Red who reached 66 points. In third cameTJ!Salford!Mad with 62.
Topping the table is *Lady In Red* (I know I can’t believe it either) with 377 closely followed by Redshedrob with 374, TJ!Salford!Mad, TOMMO2, u45d & make up the top six.
You can never really be sure when summer begins in old blighty, nor when it ends...because we rarely notice it starting, and when we realised it had, it was over before it’d begun! Although, the shortage of fans and air conditioners in Argos, a burnt ‘t-zone’ and the remergence of the word ‘muggy’ is a fair giveaway.
In Salford, however, the signs are easier to spot. Someone always has a soft top Ford Escort, and you only ever see it at the start of summer. Even though Ford stopped making them years ago. And at the mere hint of a prolonged stint of sun, that top comes down no matter what. There could be a black cloud on the horizon, a guaranteed monsoon up ahead, a motorway needing to be traversed—forget it, that top is coming down. Another sign used to be corned beef legs. More of a rarity in the era of the tanning salon but if…
How on earth am I going to live this down? This weeks tipster of the week goes to *Lady In Red* with 59 whilst I came 2nd last with 41! In joint 2nd place came our youngest competitor Jack The Red with 56 and TOMMO2, Salford red all over came in next with 54. If I’m honest there wasn’t much between top and bottom this week…yeah OK I’m trying to make myself feel better!
The disgruntled voices we mentioned about briefly a few weeks back are getting stronger. Having to perform a late, late show at Sheffield to snatch a draw didn’t go down well with the Salford faithful—many of whom thought the Reds deserved to lose. So...what exactly is the problem? Is it that we don’t have enough quality players? Did we underestimate the relative strength of the other clubs in NL1? Or are the Reds just simply out of form? Mind you: Salford are still top of the league, and unbeaten too. Aren’t we just lobbing our dummies across the terrace?
In trying to pinpoint exactly why we’re a bunch of unhappy campers, let’s look at some statistics. Salford have played six league games so far and are currently a third-way through the NL1 regular season. In comparing the 2008 Reds with recently prominent National League clubs, at the same stage of their respective seasons, perhaps we can…
