Was just looking at B&B's in Milton Keynes, trying to find places that will allow groups of lads, and (this is genuine), went to a "Milton Keynes Tourism" site, clicked on Entertainment to see if there was any info about the Oceana Club, and guess what was on a big banner at the top of the page...

Anyway, we might need to consider Oceana carefully as Friday's they seem to like having over 19's and Saturdays it's over 21's. We can drop Ben, Macca and Gareth off at a Whacky Warehouse maybe and collect them later on? Chris Miller will probably get by.

Matty do you know the final Q Ass score? They were 2-1 down and not really looking like scoring as we walked away...

Q Ass results since mid-November. Other than maybe the 2-0 defeat of Shalbourne, this is not an impressive list. If you boys don't take the game to this lot and roll them over, we'll just have to work hard (really very hard) for the return fixture...

League table updated with Blue Ball v Berks Arms (1-1) and PO Res v Cooper Arms (5-0). A couple of results to go in, including Meadway v W&H but that doesn't really affect us.

So after last week's game, it's actually quite good to look at the league table and remember that we're up there for a bloody good reason. Our run in is no harder than Q Associates run in, it really just puts those two games against them into more focus. But looking at the table, we should look forward to those games. Nerves are natural, but we're a bloody good side and should look forward to pitting ourselves against the other teams in the division. We can, really can, beat them all.

(Budweiser = happy beer, apparently)

Gotta be one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

That's the one - hope I never know how that feels.

Think this is what you were talking about shane. Ouch!!

8 games left - and the pressure is well and truly on. We're in the opposite position to last time round - we're the boys who have been top all the way through and Q Associates are the guys hanging onto our coat-tails. No game this weekend, but they're not playing either, then we play them for the first time next Sunday. Big big game, if you can make it down to cheer the lads on. I won't be there, I'm off to Norway, but last time I was there we played in a semi-final against a good team and we only had a scratch-squad out, but we bloody well won it so I'm seeing it as a good omen...

That's awesome Shaner, do I need to subscribe to watch highlights like I do with Arsenal?! You could set up 'Shefford TV', get people to pay Direct Debit's etc.

How many games left in the season then? Might try to come and watch one, got a few weekends free now that we're out of all competitions!

ha ha nice! From this week onwards - video clips of games on Shefford Blogger!!!

Just checking something:-

Bucklebury drew 1-1 with Blue Ball. Goes in our favour. I'm glad we've played Bucklebury twice already cos they're coming on strong at the moment. Q Associates drew with them and have yet to play them again...

Not a convincing win for Q Ass then. Still all to play for, though I have a feeling this one is going to go down to the wire rather than being finished in the next few weeks. Should be exciting.

Gutted to not get anything out of the game yesterday. Thought they edged it in terms of football played but we edged it in terms of chances created. You couldn't really argue with 1-0 but then you couldn't have argued a draw or a 1-0 to us either.

Looking forward to Milton Keynes. I'm not gonna take any days off but might leave at lunchtime on the Friday to head up there before the traffic gets too bad...

Yep that is the dates i have booked off work mate

Are the dates for Milton keynes weekend definate (15th - 17th June)? I need to get my the days booked off at work asap.

Q Associates Won 3 - 1

The tears are streaming down my cheeks...

I mean, look at this list!

Adebayor, Eboue, Toure (all suspended), Henry (foot), Rosicky (groin), Diaby (ankle), Justin Hoyte (hamstring), Mathieu Flamini (foot) and Robin van Persie (foot).

It's incredible. We were all thinking the Carling Cup was a bit of fun, let the youngsters play well and see what happens. Up to 87th minute it was like that, great performance, moral victory etc.

And now, a stupid bit of pushing and shoving, has left us without 3 first teamers for at least 3 matches. Out of the FA Cup, probably only manage a draw on Saturday, need to score against PSV potentially without strikers.... Why can't we get points for artistic impression?!

It's never a good week when your next game is against the mighty RFC...

Not a good week for the Arsenal boys.
