Latest league table. Looking healthy still. Pressure's on still. We're top of the league for a reason still. Woohoo.

I missed the game Jonny cos I was back up in Norway. Seems to be a good place for me to go for important games as both times I've been there we've won big games. And bizarrely I have an idea that we might have won them both 4-1. Spooky.

So if we get a bit closer to winning the league I might ask for club funds from Smurf to take another trip up there.

You'll also see, coming up, new additions to blogger functionality, with match clips posted on here if I have the camera rolling in time to catch the action. And, because I thought I'd forgotten the camera on the way to Norway, we bought a new camera which takes video with sound and can record 45 minutes of video. So watch out for extended highlights coming soon!

I can't fucking wait.

Well done on the result yesterday lads. I'm following you from a far and getting nervous for you. Well I've got to follow something other than Huddersfield's frantic push for middle table boredom!

Sorry mate I didn't know you guys had it sorted - the write-up is great. They don't often use our headlines (so much so that I don't really write them) but it's worth a try. Nice one. At first I thought you'd written "a busty Dave Lewis".

Smurf has given me the e-mail address to send it too. Haven't sent it yet, cause I was hoping to think of a better headline.

Will this do, or can you think of anything to make it better? I was wondering if it's a bit long.

SHEFFORD SITTING PRETTY

Shefford 4-1 Q Associates

Shefford consolidated their position as league leaders after an impressive victory over third place Q Associates.

A busy Dave Lewis scored first for Shefford, shrugging off the attention of two defenders before a neat finish into the far bottom corner.

Q Associates hit back with an equalising goal from the edge of the area after a good passing move, to score from their only real effort of first half.

Matt Atkins put Shefford back in front just before the break, latching on to a flick from Andy Miller to cleverly lift the ball over the on-rushing keeper.

Q Associates laid siege to Shefford’s goal early in the second half only to be denied by a solid defence, before Lewis’s second goal extended the lead with another clinical finish to put Shefford in complete control of the game.

The visitors then lost 2 men to red cards before Shefford skipper Tony Ilsley wrapped up the scoring in the final minutes, finishing well from a corner with his normally redundant left foot.

Dave Middlemass was Shefford's Man of the match.

Tony and I said we'd do a report yesterday, I'll post something on here in a bit and see what you think.

I've no idea where it needs to be sent etc.

If anyone wants to put some details of yesterday's game (who scored, how and in what order) then I'll do a write-up for the paper...

I can't believe Paggies Bar are gonna be in a cup final. Ah well, we had our chance and I wouldn't swap the chance for the league for a place in a cup final.

I think Blue Ball are definitely beatable though, so I'm looking forwards to this Sunday so we can take them on again, see if we can squeeze three points out of them at last...

A couple of results for you: LMP 0 Blue Ball 4
Paggies Bar 2 N'by Post Office 1 - in the cup semi final...
I think the only other game in our league was Waggon & Horses v Coopers but dont know the result of that one??

Made my day yesterday gents with that one. Sillsy I really appreciate you going to add your support, especially seeing as the game turned out to be a bit tasty. Teams can be as stupid as they like as long as we come away with the points. They've still got to play W&H and Bucklebury too so either with or without their bans coming through there's a chance they'll drop more points yet. Speaking of Bucklebury, yesterday's win officially puts them out of the running for the league title. Each game we just chip away at it, but Crabbeman's right there's still some tough games ahead and plenty of opportunity for a surprise, we just need to keep applying ourselves like we have been - even in the W&H game we battled very hard and are making ourselves very hard to score against.

Wish I could have seen the game yesterday, but I'll just have to wait for the away game. I should imagine that if you'd taken the wind out of the equation yesterday that would have gone in our favour, so we should be looking forward to it.

6 more games to go but no easy ones...

Really good team performance today everybody gave 100% and played really well lots of battling which didnt stop under a lot of intimidation i remember lots of games last season where we got bullied out of it and that didnt happen at all today. I think that is how Q Associates have done so well by intimidating teams as i thought they were no where near as good as the wagon and horses or blue ball but that doesnt mean we will have an easy game next time especially after what happened today it will be a really intresting 2nd game. Just an air of caution we must not think that we have won the league already as we have some very tough fixtures and im sure we will have some very hard training sessions to make sure we are prepared!!! Really looking forward to training at the prison on thursday i take it you will be there sills without your trainspoting coat!!! Are you coming to milton keynes silsy??

Well gents, what can I say? Great performance today (obviously, I don't know how it compares to the rest of the season), but they hardly had any chances, and were mostly restricted to trying to hit you on the break.

Even before the frankly humorous sending offs, you were well on the way to a comprehensive victory, and played some great football in the second half, with the defence looking as solid as an oak tree.

The great thing was looking at their faces as you did your team warm up - they just sat there looking very uninterested, but pretty intimidated. Hence why right from the off you had the upper hand.

A cracking game to watch as well, plenty of incident. I'll try to make it down for the return leg...

Hey hey,

I'm going to try to come along on Sunday lads, give you some Essex-toned vocal support. As long as you play your own game, you'll be fine. Think back to those titantic victories during 2003/4 season, the matches we came through...

Save your legs young Matthew as the council have already told me we will be playing at Henwick this week

Home to Q Associates. I should think Northcroft will have dried out enough by now for it to be played there.

Next game is then home to Blue Ball, so a couple of tough matches, followed by Berks Amrs and then Shalbourne. After that only 3 games to go.

So is it home or away this weekend lads?

Fuck Oceana, I'm with Macca.

Hermitage won 2-1.

If Orange doesn't get into the pubs/clubs there must be a McDonald's he can stand outside of, he might even pull a 16 year old if he's feeling confident....

Not sure we'll be rushing there.
