Welcome to The Grambler, the most ill-informed blog you are ever likely to see.
Stewart was an amazing person - A wonderful husband, a fantastic brother, a loving son and an adored uncle. He was also a brilliant friend and colleague and is missed by so many people. His family are determined that his death will never be in vain and are doing their part to beat bowel cancer for omplgood.

Stewart began writing The Grambler when he was between procedures and hoping for some form of recovery. He loved all aspects of football and was a lifelong Motherwell supporter. His wish was that The Grambler should continue after his death and I have been happy to oblige. Read on and enjoy…
During the past few months, there has been little news to speak of other than Covid. However there was a totally unlinked story last week...
Did you see it? The one about... What was it about, again? My memory is hopeless these days. Oh yes, forgetfulness. More especially, dementia. Studies have been made into cold water swimming and how it can help ward off dementia. Apparently, this is something to do with hibernation. Hang on, I think I've picked that up wrong. Hibernation? That can't be right. Yes, I've just looked at the article again and it is... in a round about way. Animals have a protein that protects the brain as they get colder and enter their winter hibernation. The research shows that humans still have such a protein and it kicks in to protect the brain in the same way as we get colder.
I see there being a problem for anyone wishing to conduct their own experiment... where can you find cold water to swim in? Not everyone lives near the sea or a cold water pool. In fact, very few people are able to swim at all in these days of social distancing.
The best option would be to run yourself a cold bath and get in. What if you don't have a bath? How about a cold shower? That might work.
It seems that doctors have known about the benefits of cold on the brain for many years. [So why didn't they tell us about it sooner? - Ed. ] Perhaps, another answer is to gulp down ice cream too quickly... Ooh, it's horrible that brain freeze.
My worry is that politicians will use this to their advantage. How so, I hear you ask. Yes, come the winter when pensioners do their usual and complain about the cost of heating their homes, Bozza and his ilk [He's got a pet moose? - Ed.] will have the answer ready... 'We are dewing this for your own good and are trying tyew prevent yew from getting dementia.' And he'll point a lot to show how serious he is. He does that, doesn’t he? I’ve always been told that it was rude to point but, hey, he’s Bozza; he can do whatever he likes. And he does.
I am now giving you fair warning that I am about to use the C word. [Please don’t. - Ed.] I've got a terrific idea and, not only will it help ward off dementia, it will rid the country of the coronavirus [Oh! That C word. - Ed.] once and for all. Yep. No more Covid. Wow, I hear you say, what can this amazing cure-all be? Well, if scientists could isolate that protein and produce it in enough quantities to give everyone an extra-large dose, we could all hibernate. Sorry pardon excuse me? Yes indeedy. Hibernate. If we’ve got that protein thingy sorted; why not? The entire population could go to their kip for the winter months and not get up again until the spring. In the meantime, the Covid virus will simply have gone. Brilliant, or what? [Definitely what. While you sleep, some less somnambulent types will be busy looting your house. - Ed.] Ah. Good point. [And another thing, scientists are currently working flat out to find a vaccine for the virus; you can’t just stop that and divert their efforts to producing quantities of some protein which has only just been discovered. - Ed.] Okay, you’ve made your point. [And how would your body cope with the new phenomenon of having to store up six months worth of food. - Ed.] All right! No need to go on about it. [And another thing... etc. etc. ad infinitum ]
.....oooOooo.....
So it’s farewell to that wonderful and funny star Nobby Ball. I well remember the first time I ever saw him; England had just won the World Cup and little Nobby was cockahoop, grinning away, dancing around Wembley Stadium, and who could blame him? But the moment that sticks in my memory the most was when he went up to England’s captain, Bobby Moore, smiling that toothless smile, tugging on his famous red braces and shouting, ‘Rock on Bobby!’
.....oooOooo.....

I’ve received a letter...
Dear Marvin Gramblisch,
We were both intrigued by your selection of music from The Big Bopper. Perhaps you are unaware that he had a far more famous hit. Can you even name it?
Best regards,
.....oooOooo.....
Time to gramble. How did The Grambler’s predictions go last time we had a bet? Well, we didn’t lose... much. In fact, we actually got some money back, but 78 pees from a £2.20 stake isn’t very good. is it? What happened? Read on...
Plymouth vs Burton - Prediction Home win
Result - Plymouth 2 Burton 0
Yay!
Argyle striker Luke Jephcott fired his side ahead after 25 minutes and Byron Moore finished off Plymouth's first attack of the second half to double the lead.
Conor Grant threaded a pass through to Jephcott and the forward sent the ball through Albion keeper Ben Garratt's legs from 10 yards with a shot on the spin.
Garratt made a good save to deny George Cooper in the 36th minute and at the other end Indiana Vassilev should have scored when put through one-on-one on goal but sent his measured shot inches wide.
Argyle surged further ahead when the Brewers failed to deal with Cooper's drilled cross in the 47th minute.
The ball fell kindly to Moore at the back post and he had the easiest job to slam his shot to an unguarded goal.
Burton sought to get back into the game but Plymouth goalkeeper Michael Cooper palmed over Neal Eardley's goal-bound 25-yard free-kick after 73 minutes.
Lincoln vs Bristol - Prediction Home win
Result - Lincoln 1 Bristol 2
Boo!
After a goalless first period, there was a dramatic start to the second half which saw two goals in the space of three minutes.
First, just a minute after the break, Lincoln led when Jorge Grant's free-kick was headed home by Lewis Montsma and he then collided with a post and required treatment.
That injury played a part as Rovers hit back straightaway. Montsma was running back on to the pitch as Rovers attacked, and a brilliant right-wing cross from Josh Hare was nodded home by James Daly.
Rovers took the lead from a penalty in the 58th minute following a rash challenge by Adam Jackson on Brandon Hanlan. The referee pointed to the spot and Hanlan slammed home.
City pushed for a leveller but their hopes were hindered when Jackson was sent off with seven minutes left for a second bookable offence.
Bolton vs Grimsby - Prediction Home win
Result - Bolton 0 Grimsby 0
Ooh! ’It the bar!
Ali Crawford fizzed two free-kicks wide of the target and a third effort was blocked by Luke Waterfall.
Instead of capitalising on their possession after half-time, Bolton failed to create any worthwhile chances.
And it was the visitors who threatened to beat the Trotters, with substitutes Montel Gibson, Owura Edwards and Terry Taylor all working openings for shots without troubling keeper Billy Crellin.
Cheltenham vs Crawley - Prediction Home win
Result - Cheltenham 2 Crawley 0
Yay!
The opening goal arrived in the 33rd minute when Ben Tozer's long throw from the right was deflected into his own net by defender Tony Craig under pressure from Will Boyle.
Cheltenham dominated possession and George Lloyd forced Glenn Morris into a low save.
Lloyd then headed a cross from Andy Williams over the bar from a good position as they looked for a second.
Tozer forced Morris into another smart stop in first-half stoppage time, which was followed by an effort from Tyler Frost at the other that was saved by Josh Griffiths.
Cheltenham doubled their advantage three minutes into the second half when the excellent Matty Blair set up Williams and he finished expertly for his second goal of the season.
Josh Doherty thumped an effort wide from long range, but Crawley offered very little threat as the hosts saw out the game comfortably.
Mansfield vs Stevenage - Prediction Home win
Result - Mansfield 0 Stevenage 0
Ooh! ’It the bar! (Twice)
Stevenage had the edge in a scrappy first half and home keeper Marek Stech made two good saves to deny Inih Effiong.
Stech's first touch from a backpass gifted the ball to Effiong after 11 minutes but he recovered to block the finish.
Then in the 29th minute Stech saved well at the near post after Effiong had bustled his way into the box.
Stags' best moment came when Harry Charsley volleyed against the far post from a tight angle after 10 minutes.
Stags improved after the restart and Jamie Cumming saved well at his near post from Nicky Maynard after 62 minutes, while James Perch warmed his hands from 25 yards.
In the 74th minute, Elliott List poked the ball against the home bar from Luther James-Wildin's cross while George Maris agonisingly fired against the Stevenage bar in stoppage time.
Oh well. Can The Grambler improve with this week’s random selections? Let’s see.
Game - Result - Odds
Bournemouth vs Derby - Prediction Home win - 3/5
Barnsley vs Watford - Prediction Away win - 6/5
Wycombe vs Sheffield - Prediction Away win - 10/11
Stoke vs Rotherham - Prediction Home win - 3/4
Luton vs Brentford - Prediction Away win - 8/11
The bets have been placed (10 x 20 pee doubles and 1 x 20 pee accumulator) and if The Grambler’s predictions are spot on, the Bobby Moore Fund stands (or sits) to win a whopping...
£11.20
1120? 900 years ago [Yes, we can count. - Ed.] was a significant year in that it altered the monarchy of England. How so, I hear you ask. Well, in November of that year the White Ship (belonging to King Henry I) sank in the English channel with only one survivor from the 300 or so on board. It was also the biggest maritime disaster to have ever happened at that time, certainly from the sinking of a single vessel. It was also the original booze cruise as most of the people on board, including the captain, were pretty well sloshed thanks to the abundance of wine that was provided by William Adelin. [Who? - Ed.] This all led to a civil war in England which lasted from 1135 to 1153. Sorry pardon excuse me? How can the sinking of one ship cause a war 15 years after it went down, I hear you ask. The reason for this was that one of those that perished was the already mentioned purveyor of bevvy, William Adelin, who just happened to be the (only legitimate) son and heir of King Henry I. This meant that when Henry died in 1135 his (only legitimate) heir was his daughter Matilda and the English barons were reluctant to accept her as queen. Stephen of Blois usurped Matilda [Ooer. - Ed.] as well as his own older brothers William and Theobald to become king.
Not surprisingly, Matilda was less than chuffed about this so she and her husband, Geoffrey of Anjou, launched the long war, known as The Anarchy, against Stephen and his allies. Towards the end of the war, which was more siege and attrition than battling, Stephen acknowledged Matilda’s son Henry to be his heir. Thus, basically, all those years of war were unnecessary because he was already Matilda’s heir.
Among those that perished when the White Ship went down were several other members of Henry I’s family, the Earl of Chester and his wife (King Henry’s niece) and members of their family, many nobles from England and Normandy, plus members of the clergy and many other high-ranking travellers.
It would be like all of the Queen’s heirs, the Prime Minister and his cabinet, the Archbishop of Canterbury and several other nobles and politicians from around the world dying in a single incident. Suddenly, Princess Anne would be heir to the throne. Hmm... Any dodgy ships available for a posh away day? No no no. Perish the thought.
It, probably more than any other historical event, has led to important politicians and royals never travelling together in large groups.
There you are, a history lesson you never wanted.
.....oooOooo.....
Teaser time. Yay! How did you get on with your five questions? Here are the answers.
1. Who am I?
I was born on the 21st March 1980 in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

In my time at Barca I played in 145 games, scoring 70 goals. I was capped 97 times for Brazil, winning the World Cup in 2002. At that time I was one of the most recognisable faces in football and in 2006 I earned over $19 million endorsing products such as Nike, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, EA Sports, Gatorade and Danone.
Answer: Ronaldo de Assis Moreira aka Ronaldinho
2. When was the last time a club managed by an Englishman won the League Cup?
Answer: 2004; Steve McClaren with Middlesbrough

How about five for this week?
1. Who am I?

5. I’ve come up with another daft one. How many teams in the four English Senior leagues have a direction (north, south, east or west) in their name?
There you have it; five teasers to test you. Can you answer them without resorting to Googlie or Bung (or any other search engine, for that matter)?
.....oooOooo.....
As usual (at the risk of repeating myself), I remind you of the main reason for continuing to publish this blog – to raise awareness about bowel cancer. If you have any bowel problems, don’t be fobbed off with the line that you are too young for bowel cancer to be a consideration. Just point your doctor in the direction of http://www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/campaigns-policy/latest-campaigns/never-too-young-campaign
.....oooOooo.....
Please, also take the time to click on this link, an informative little video from Stewart's friend Mersh https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2F26HWQXMalX4%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1Os0qbbKJMQ9UiI-rFMvZkmgrZqegI0q_7LlN-z7GHBcwkCMaWlDVBCBg&h=AT1Dbu-KPAGUF-QZ0gCBnL95IKyrDHNPNgu8_qHrCBmbu8nRRLix6CTsxNFEBcMtq0362UIO9vOfIgou5zn2zcEHnSiu-l1n-JeFLvMXdIaK3s-e4N3Ny-8QO_hKutEAaSvN.
…..oooOooo…..
And finally, Cyril? And finally, Esther, I am indebted to a Mr G. Wallace who provides us with a rather interesting finishing clip for this week. Mr Wallace is somebody who has become a celebrity because he likes food. He particularly likes a buttery biscuit base. Thanks to Swedemason for that. Yes, know I’ve included that clip before, but it is clever.
That’s all for this week folks, but remember you can read the musings of The Grambler every week (well, most weeks) by going to the blog at www.thegrambler.com where you can also catch up on any previous editions you may have missed.
Happy grambling.
