Kayden Jackson's story is ready made for one of those sporting underdog movies.
Wins a competition to be a football player, spends time in lower league and non-league wilderness, gets a move to a bigger club which is down on its knees.
Suffers a tough time as that club languishes further and looks like his days are done, only for a football angel to arrive and turn around his fortunes and the clubs', culminating in promotion to the best league in the word (trademark of sky).
Throw in the 'Kayden Jackson saved my life' sub-plot from here and you have an oscar winner.
In the end they finished 7 points clear of Leeds, which may well have been 10 points if their players had not already been on the beach yesterday, and 10 goals clear as well.
From what we've seen in the past, i don't think anyone has had a points deduction big enough to cancel out that lead.
Lovely read today somuch bitterness on display, but these are my favourite quotes:
"It's not the bragging about their current achievements that annoy me as they are there for all to see, it's more when they get carried away with such nonsense as "back where we belong" and when some even seriously talk of heading back to Europe because they are such a big club. It's all so similar to this constant "glorious history" crap, when even that doesn't amount to that much"
And then in regards to Leeds
"They have a genuine right to brag about their history based upon three top league titles, other homeland successes and considerable achievements in Europe, "
From the same poster!
Daft sods can't even make their minds up on the importance of a glorious past.
But as far as I am concerned they can chuck their promotion gongs into the biggest fwcking dustbin they can find, because they not won it fairly, they've done it all by bloody cheating.
No more FA Cup replays from the 1st round onwards.
Whilst I am not sure whether thats a good thing or not, the fact the decision was made by the FA and Premier league without reference to EFL clubs is shoddy.
Saw and heard my first nightingales of the year today.
In fact my part of the Ipswich-Sudbury=Shotley Golden Triangle was absolutely throbbing with the flutey little feckers. It was probably my best ever day for nightingales.
A day that starts that well is bound to carry on in the same vein, and what with 'Boro needing a win to keep their slender play off hopes alive I am convinced it will be a throbbing game ending in a comfortable Town win.
You get some of the refs weird first half decision in this one, the foul on Jacko that could have been a penalty, the strange decision to penalise Jacko that led to that great save from the free kick by Vas, and Morsy being wrestled by Downes.
