SCALEY SAYS: They Think It's All Over! (Week 37)

"...... I was surprised, but I always say nothing surprises me in football....."

Les Ferdinand ex Tottenham Striker

REALITY

I've spent most of the season with my head in my hands, a combination of Tottenham Hotspur, Football Club, Luton Town, football club, St Albans, City, Football Club, IFK Harltonham and Bongo Fury have generally driven me to depair with their inept, play or point scoring. At least for the latter two I can say it is firmly my fault for team selection, choosing the wrong captain, not utilising my tokens at the right time, and various other fantasy failings. The other lot have been victims of their own incompetence.

And, so it was almost, last Wednesday, when the not so, Super Spurs, took on Manchester United in the Europa cup final. I watched in my motorhome alongside fellow, Tottenham fanatic and Ex Swengland land manager, Terry Allen, and our friend, John Rolland, who is the sort of bloke, you would’ve been putting in goal, or choosing last, when you picked your teams in the playground, as he doesn’t really like or understand the game but is entertained by watching Terry and I go through the wringer.

So on Wednesday he had a lot of fun when two underperforming teams who should know much better, met in Bilbao.

For those of you who watched the game, you will know what happened and for those of you who were not supporters of either team I wouldn’t have blamed you if you have turned off not long after the kick off, for it was a terrible watch. In fact, I have seen better games at The Kenny this season.

Usually, following a Tottenham victory against Manchester United, I would be giving it large to Rustan Lefin and Bella Andersson, at least, United fans amongst our managers. But I felt didn’t have the heart or the right to take the piss out of either of them, for we were both truly awful, and it took an equally awful scrambled goal with pathetic, defending and goalkeeping to win the match.

But, fellow managers, a win is a win, so rather than saying the best team won I’m going to say the worst team lost and…….COYS!!!

FANTASY

In fantasy land it’s congratulations to Viv Stevenson yet again for a cup final victory, this time the Bror Lefin where he narrowly defeated Tom Iddon is Victoria’s Secret in a nailbiting finish. I’ve just sent a WhatsApp message to Viv to tell him that he has actually won something again and is he going to be attending the Swengland party on June 14, here at headquarters? So far, no reply.

This is turning out to be like a lot of you, failing to reply to my message regarding the party. For example, John Williams and his Mafia brood have failed to respond, and it looks very much like the Don John is going to win the All Swengland. With one round to go, ZICO and the Bunnymen look to have it all to do 35 points behind Tastur.
