Funny how once you get hit over the head with a phrase it's echo seems to reverberate o'er every mundanity.
"Strength in Depth" seems to be the catch phrase for the season.
It might be better changed to something like "I'll be there on the dot" but then we could all put our (new team) shirts on disappointment, so... "strength in depth" it is.
Shall we call it SID instead?
Maybe treat the idea like a little pet.
Stroke it even when it starts to smell bad...
Gazza's 'Sorry 2nds' are struggling with SID; so much so that the Bulls had to stiffen their resolve with a couple of guest appearances agin the Super Bears and their own (apparently shortish) SID in last week's tight encounter (3-2 to the 2nds).
This week sees a similar predicament for our lovable Real Estater...
The initial rumour was that Gazza would put upon The Pig's better porcine nature and have the front to suggest two Bulls turning out against their own breed (a tubby Tomcat & a resting Red Squirrel) in tomorrow's Bulls v 2nds mash up.
Well, (after much heckling) a compromise of sorts sees a Bull and a Bear turn out to flatter Gazza's SID.
Match ups are below with predictions.
I was cock on last week...
Toby v The Pig
'Magic' too much of a handful; our usually streaky Pig gets a stuffing; a crackling match though. (3-1)
Neil v The Chicken
Could be interesting after Neil's dismantling by The Turtle last week. An on form Jim to rattle The Beast until his wheels fall off? Not likely but that's the plan... (3-2 to Mr Bojangles)
Gazza v The Fox
Speaking of dismantling; after a nip and tuck league encounter with 'Lonesome' yesterday (27-0) my confidence is so low that I should fit 'umbly and smugly into Gazza's gaping poche. (3-0)
The Gnat v The Camel
A whiff of interbreeding here; Gnat to stick close to the walls, Camel to get the hump "all at sea" but bedazzle Machiness with his unorthodoxy and come out on top. (1-3)
Seb Monson v The Python
Petulance and promise v petulance and pride. Pride to win. (0-3)
So, 10 - 9 to the 2nds.
Come and watch.
7.40 start.
