That bloody Manager of the Month award. I knew we would lose!
The dreaded Manager of the Month curse!
I now fully expect Bath City to lose tomorrow.
While Leeds United managed to cause the biggest New Year’s Day upset, since the time Frank Butcher ran over and killed Tiffany Mitchell, Bath City provided their supporters with a late Christmas present.
The Romans took on local rivals, Chippenham Town, for their NYD fixture. You should all know by now, what I think of Chippenham.
In fact, since writing that blog post, Africa have announced that they’ll be holding a rock concert, to raise money for the town.
Bath City were less charitable. Instead of getting tax-dodging, self-obsessed celebrities to get up on stage, in the name of “Chariteee”, the Romans humiliated the town’s local football team, Chippenham Town.
City put not one, not two, not three… you get the idea… FIVE goals past their hapless goalkeeper.
Not bad, considering Chip’numb won 5-2, on their previous visit to Twerton Park.
You’ll recall that I recently blogged about the possibility of the top 5 divisions in English football, all having champions starting with the letter ‘L’.
Well, I have the discovered an even greater and geekier stat. Brace yourselves…
The last time that Liverpool won the top flight, Leeds won the second division and Bath City got promoted to the Conference.
Currently Liverpool and Leeds sit top of their leagues, while Bath City are just outside the promotion play offs.
You know what this means? Bath City will finish midtable; Leeds will bottle it, losing in the play offs, and Manchester City will win the Premier League.
