A forgiving Universe.

Despite losing and drawing, United still have a chance of staying up, however slim. It does not matter how bad they are, the rest are as bad or worse.

It was like a pre season game yesterday according to the radio, how can that be?, with so much at stake, wotsisname was in a rage.

Anyway, just a word on the orgasms over attendances, Merthyr v Poole yesterday, attendance 2018, Torquay over 4,000, four figures are common over all the divisions.

For United to compete in div 1, if they ever get back, they will need average gates of 9 10 thousand, just to stand still, not get relegated.

Peterboro are a prime case, they are not a middle ranking team, but are a much bigger club than United.

United have no chance, much less under a miser in Barry. The few hundred more that are attending is a laff.

Why bother? Barrow, Harrogate, Fleetwood coming, tippy tappy boredom, sky high prices to pay footballers that cant play.

Where is the latest Peter Leggett, Brian Greenhalgh, Alan Biley, Steve Spriggs, Tom Finney, Bill Cassidy, Ian Hutchinson, Dion Dublin, Lee Philpott, Liam Daish, Steve Claridge.

Nowhere.

Players are produced that can run, are tall, head, thats it. Geniusesseesss need not apply.

They dont get through, while you pay top dollar for the Paul Digbys, players that cant.

Cant do owt. Those geniusssesss are out there, football doesnt want them and you know why.

Managers are cowards, they dont want to lose, clogging, keeping the ball, hoping for an opening is their way.

Oh for a Ron Atkinson. Many years ago United played at Preston under Atkinson, they got a draw away , Trevor Howard said that if they attacked United would have wiped the floor with them, relayed to me. At the Abbey, all teams were pulverised by Atkinsons attacking football, backs to the wall from the start.

Look at this nonsense now, the Harris way. God help you...

And you will pay, with boredom, and through hard lucre. Imagine this, tuesday night, hard cold wind, -2, United 17th in div2.

Go for it.
