Superstition again
Almost as if to prove the point I made earlier about me and Kieran not seeing a Vale away win, we decide not to go to Huddersfield tonight and they win 3-0. Biggest winning margin all season.
So what's all that about then - the team that's third in the league, who if they had won would have gone top, and we stuff them. The teams that are at the bottom, the ones we should walk all over and score a hatful, we lose 1-0 or 2-1 or scrape a draw. I know football is a funny old game, as the saying goes, but this isn't a joke any more - we'll end up not quite making the play-offs again, having beaten all the teams that finish above us and lost to all the ones that finish below us. On that basis, we should make it to the FA Cup Final - we'll beat Premiership sides- OK, so there I am joking, we've got no chance. Donny Rovers to come in the Cup. We've beaten them earlier in the season, so we'll probably lose this one, because it matters.
Just doesn't make sense, though.
