Well, Well, super Well.
Well, Well, super Well…Beaten again. 5 nil. At home as well. Just a blip. Another one.
Joe Mason scored on his debut as
Mason, on loan from
Moritz crashed the second in off the post minutes later, before Matt Mills saw his header chalked off for a push as
Substitute Neil Danns added the third to seal a biggest win of the season
for Dougie Freedman's Bolton .
After going eight games unbeaten, Wanderers went into the match off the
back of 1-0 defeats at Middlesbrough and at home to Huddersfield .
Paul Dickov's side have scored just six times on the road this season
and failed to muster any meaningful pressure in the second period, leaving them
without a win in six away from home.
Do we care? One result for The
Grambler. Could this be the week?
Leeds United vs Watford – Prediction Away win - NAW
This looked so promising. After 45 minutes
The Moose/Hornets led through Deeney's 10-yard strike on 12 minutes and a
counter-attack goal by Christian Battocchio on 45 minutes.
But 5 minutes into the second half Danny Pugh put the home side back in
the game with a tidy finish from a tight angle and Matt Smith (I wondered what
had happened to him after he jacked in the Doctor Who job) nodded in the equaliser
from close range 6 minutes later.
On 78 minutes Ross McCormack (Yay) ran through to slip in a third to put
Leeds ahead but Deeney scored late to earn Watford a draw.
It could be argued that the result was a fair conclusion to an even match
that was full of chances and open, attacking football. Not by me, it couldn’t! You fmucked it up Watford ! The Grambler could have had
another prediction right but for your crappy defending. Bloody Hornets with a
stupid moose on your crest!
St Johnstone vs Aberdeen –
Prediction Away win – YAYYY!
St Johnstone 0 Aberdeen 2
Pater Pawlett opened the scoring on 17 minutes with a low drive from
the edge of the box as the visitors dominated.
Saints were reduced in numbers in the second half when substitute Rory
Fallon was sent off for a challenge on Dons' Michael Hector, just one minute
after coming on. What a twat.
Niall McGinn's solo run and wonderful finish made sure of the points.
Watching proceedings was the former St Johnstone striker and Aberdeen boss Alex Ferguson who was invited back by the Perth club, 50 years on from his famous Saints hat-trick
against Rangers. Hmm…Alex Ferguson…whatever
happened to him?
Arbroath vs Stranraer – Prediction Draw - NAW
Arbroath 1 Stranraer 2
Stranraer moved to within two points of second-place
Jamie Longworth headed home Sean Winter's cross to give the visitors
the lead within 2 minutes of the start.
But Ross Chisholm found Steven Doris (oh there you are, Doris )
early in the second half and the on-loan Dundee
forward nodded Arbroath level.
Now, why couldn’t they just settle for that? That would have given The Grambler a clean
sweep (admittedly Watford had also to not turn their two goal lead into a draw
to make this a true statement). But no,
Stranraer had to go and win; Christopher Aitken (wasn’t he in that film with
Brooke Shields?) scoring the winner.
Andrew Rodgers scored twice as Peterhead won to replace opponents
Rodgers fired in from close range on 9 minutes but Scott Ferguson
steered home a quick Clyde equaliser two minutes later.
However, a couple of minutes later, Rodgers' second - a header - gave
Peterhead the advantage once again.
And Reece Donaldson nodded his first goal for the Blue Toon to round
off the visitors' victory.
Thank you Peterhead, thanks to that win you have ensured that The
Grambler not only won, but won the fantastic total of…Fanfare please…

Cue fanfare becoming a raspberry noise.
Not very good is it? Still, it’s
a profit and is already safely in the hands of the Bobby Moore fund. Perhaps you wonderful people out there in
