Hello all my chums in Gramblerland. Here are this week’s results…
But wait, I hear you say, what of the Gramblerplan
diet? Ah. Yes.
That. Are you sure you don’t just
want the results?
Oh no, I hear you say, I want to know of the
brilliant, can’t fail diet regime known as ‘Gramblerplan’. Yes.
Umm. The results are very
interesting. I think we should get on
with them, without further ado.
Tush and taradiddle.
Ado be blowed, I hear you say. Did I really hear you say that? Do tell.
How goes the diet? How much
weight lost? Mmm?
Okay. I did say
that the Gramblerplan diet couldn’t fail.
Eat less, exercise more it tells us.
Yes, well. Those results really
are very, very interesting, I’m sure no one is really interested in how my
silly diet is going. No. No. I
promised I would keep you posted on how much weight I am losing. So, deep breath, here goes.
I have lost
weight since last Sunday’s weigh in.
Honest. I really have…. Just not
quite as much as I would have hoped. I
mean, I have tried to eat less. And I
have been really disorganised.
How much weight have I lost? Those results are really quite intriguing,
you know. Are you sure you don’t want to
just get on with them?
HOW MUCH?
A pound. One
pound. Well, one pound and two ounces to
be precise. I know I know. Rubbish isn’t it?
Of course it didn’t help that on Friday evening I went
to a Burns Supper. Weirdest Burns Supper
I’ve ever been to. Not a mention of the
bard at all. Basically a large meal
followed by a few bevvies.
Anyway, the point is, haggis is quite fattening. But I love haggis. Can’t resist it. Yum.
Haggis and neeps. Mmmm…oh, I’ve
dribbled on my keyboard.
Hopefully, next week, I will lose a bit more.
So, onwards and upwards. The results.
We won! Nah. Only kidding.
Win? Us? Ridiculous!
Two out of five came up, so we got a little back.
So what happened?
Read on…
The Grambler reckoned that Rotherham would win this one, but they were
pretty outclassed here and only a last gasp goal in stoppage stoppage stoppage time
earned them the draw.
On-loan striker Matt Tubbs slotted in from close range
for the first goal of his second spell at Crawley , against the side he played for
until 6 January.
Keiran Agard equalised from the penalty spot after Ben
Pringle was felled by Joe Walsh. Then
Tubbs set up Josh Simpson to restore Crawley 's lead.
But Agard fired home six minutes into five minutes of added
time (?) to level.
Dagenham &
Redbridge vs Scunthorpe
– Prediction Away win – Naw!
Dagenham & Redbridge 3 Scunthorpe 3
The Grambler got one right [About bl**dy time – Ed]. Yay! Chesterfield moved into the automatic promotion places with a win
in dreadful conditions at Northampton.
Darren Carter had the Cobblers ahead from the penalty spot early on
after keeper Tommy Lee fouled Hallam Hope.
But a quickly taken Spireites free-kick let Dan Gardner rifle home an
equaliser from a tight angle on his full debut.
Gary Roberts then chipped the keeper to put the visitors ahead before
Armand Gnanduillet's low strike compounded the hosts' misery. For did they not say, “Our misery is
compounded!” All right, they didn’t say
that.
Paul Cook's Chesterfield appeared to cope much better at a damp, wet Sixfields
as they inflicted a third straight home defeat on the Cobblers, who are now six
points adrift at the foot of the table.
I have to say, I had my doubts about The Grambler’s
prediction even when I did my write-up.
Didn’t I say so at the time? “Away
win? Doubt it Grambler,” I said. And that was before I realised that Cally
captain Richie Foran would still be unable to play because of a shoulder injury
sustained before Christmas.
Kris Boyd was on target again scoring
his seventh in nine games (and 13th of the season) on 74 minutes to
give Killie a win after Lee Ashcroft's 16th-minute goal separated the sides at
the break.
Inverness threatened an
equaliser in between, but it was another useless fruitless afternoon for
John Hughes' visitors, who have won just once in seven games and now sit seven points
off third-placed Motherwell.
And finally, Cyril?
And finally Esther The Grambler got another prediction right. Whoop de f***ing doo!
Conor McGrandles (That sounds like something Long John Silver might say. Aharrr! Conor me grandles, Jim lad!) opened the scoring for the Bairns,
firing home from the middle of the penalty area.
However, he made amends by steering the ball past
Twardzik midway through the second period.
So there you have, my little grambling chums. Only two correct out of five. But, as I stated earlier, there is some money
coming our way. How much?
98p
Could you speak up please?
98p
That is absolute shi…not very good. Ho hum.
Maybe next week. I might have
said that before.
Any road up, tune in again soon, for Week 22
predictions and some more diet advice for those of you on the Gramblerplan
diet. I and a few others have pledged to
put One pound (dosh) for every pound (weight) shed into the Bobby Moore Fund (via
https://www.justgiving.com/Geraldine-Smith3 ).
Hopefully, by next weekend I will be able to report a better weight
reduction. I do have one little piece of
dieting advice to give you before I go – Don’t eat three portions of haggis at
one meal.
How about a gag to finish? Food related of course.
Thank you and goodnight.
