Not posted for a while

Problems with the pc prevented any postings but amazed that the epidemic must have affected others as no one has posted either.
Well as we enter the New Year we can say that the season so far has been a bit of a disappointment. Okay we did not think we would set the world on fire but we did expect better performances both on and off the field ..... and that includes the referees. It is very clear that the transfer activity pre-season has not been 100% correct with some signings not or will not make the grade lets hope that any signings in January will have an impact like last season and we buy premiership experience without the prima-donna trimmings.
The coach to home games is still keeping us above water - slight problem with away travel as Sedgefield branch members voted to only pick up at certain points and excluded the best villages of Coxhoe, Kelloe and Bishop Middleham. We now have an agreement that we will get picked up first and dropped of last but sometimes this adds another 30 minutes to the travel time and when you have been beaten and need to take Mrs G down the club this 30 minutes threatens not only valuable drinking time but that bit of extra in bed that puts loosing a game at the back of your mind.
Life has certainly been up and down this year and supporting England and Sunderland has seen more downs than ups but lets hope our luck changes and we have a better second half to the season and hopefully put a smile on Stevie Waltons face; now that would be a success!

Keep on posting and have a great New Year
