Bantams End Winless Streak

Typical City, after being rolled over by a poor Brentford team, they go and beat second in the league Chester City, to end their lengthy winless streak. Of course it wasn't straight forward, another exemplary performance from Nicky Law was marred by a penalty miss, Omar Daley finally decided to shoot, and scored a blinder (missed by the Boy, who had gone for a piss), then we gave away a stupid penalty, saved beautifully by big Don Ricketts, scored with about ten minutes remaining through substitute Rhodes, and let in a soft goal as 90 minutes came up, just to worry us for the last three minutes of injury time. Defence still remains a worry, Clarke played for the dropped Bower, and although he looks pacier, treats the football like a primed explosive. But I am nit picking, we outplayed the Seals throughout, and if we can go on a sustained run promotion is not out of the question. Apparently Law is signed for another month, and Peter Thorne led the line well, although once again we spurned numerous chances to kill off the game. FA Cup on Saturday, against the same opposition, but I will be unable to make it.

Baz Watch; On bench. Few shuttle runs down the pitch, and that was it from our erstwhile hero.


Burger Rating; 2/10 With all the pie varieties tried and tested, this week the Boy Dazzler volunteered to try out a Bantam Burger. The reason I my self didn't take the challenge is down to me being a burger connoisseur, anything below McDonalds standard cheese burger causes me to explode. It started out badly for the Boy, as a grim patty like object was retrieved from a stainless steel pot and thrust between two bun lids. It was then placed in a bag and handed to our brave guinea pig. His first comment was that he had tasted meatier veggie burgers, and it was a little bit sweet. The bun came up trumps though, it was fluffy and fresh, but the burger got a massive thumbs down. It is almost impossible to give it an indigestion rating, as anybody who knows the Dazzler can attest, he suffers from constant gas and heartburn, and makes noises that mimic the Peruvian rain forest for hours after eating. Safe to say he won't be trying one again in a hurry. Next time out I am going to get Ike to rate a hot dog.
