Saints 0 Knobs 4- league game

Not as easy as it looks. In fact not easy at all! They were good. So what does that make us? Pretty bloody good and hard working and by far the more creative and clinical finishers that's what.
They started the better, stroking the ball around on a nigh on perfect pitch and our early possession didn't look quite so polished. However we were kept in the game early on by some sterling individual efforts. At least we were knuckling down. Great!
We went ahead with a rather pleasant goal. Matt served Steve and the old one-two worked again as old Ben Gunn anticipating a superbly flighted 40 yard diagonal cross peeled off the back and dived to head in once again. How boring it's becoming. Nah it isn't, it's bliddy great!
The score held at 1-0 till half time.
Gavin, in Ron's rotting boots, suddenly came alive in the second half and notched himself two fine goals and together with a fine one from Matt we found ourselves a comfortable 4-0 up.
They pressed well but I thought as a team we defended very resolutely together with some excellent individual performances. Trevor instils confidence with his calling and handling of crosses, there was also one blinding save. Richard outran and outmuscled the roadrunner who eventually retired fatigued and beaten on points. Chris G was again excellent and Chris W played his best game of the season with a hangover. Good defending and goalkicks from Monsieur B and well done all the rest. Tony came on as sub and out of position contributed solidly, including a nice cross cum pass for Matt's goal.
Facilities palatial, nice showers and enormous dressing room. Unfortunately clubhouse was also enormous and packed and where it was spacious, outside, it proved a little too fackin cauld for the southern branch of the Knobs tree. Oh aye and plastic glasses! Giz the Station any day. I'll try again giz the Wicked Lady any day, some of us tried it, no great, full of scoffers eating Credit Crunch specials.
Home just in time to see Spurs lose to Stoke. They're too good to go down.
Next week we are away again, I'm afraid I somewhat cocked up this side of the fixture arrangements. This time we travel away to Kempston, good pitches. 9.20 at the Station. See you all then. We are now top of the league, I believe.
