THE COCKNEY REDS of SALFORD v THE TOON ***'3 BELLS' TODAY!

Posted '7:40am bells' Boxin' Day 2012

We face the dauntin' task later today of tryin' to win a Leegue game @ 'The Theatre of Muppets' for the forst time in FORTY years and az we havvent won a solitary away game this season in THORTEEN attempts in Leegue, Cup and Europe, wor prospects divvint look ower good!---do they?

We will gladly settle for a point, but feel that this iz wishful thinkin' in the extreme! (although we DID get a point there last season with a 1-1 draw!)

"Somewhere to droon wor sorrows
BEFORE the match?"
(Hopefully that's NOT the case!)

For the second time in three month's we're settin' off across 'the Pennines' to deepest Salford within the next hour (we lost there 2-1 in the League Cup in September!) and wor forst 'port o caall' will (az usual!) probably be 'The Broadway' boozer which iz aboot a 25 minute waalk from the groond! (that's if it hazzent closed it's doors for good and been boarded up!?) (like so many ale hooses in recent years!) 

'The Geordie Times' match report will follow much later---let's hope it isn't a 'suicidal one'!
