A Mars a Day

It was refreshing to see the Mars Bar back at its best.

After a sickly Mac came to the touchline saying he felt queasy it was left to Deano on his prodigal return to offer up the "Mars a day" solution. Still digesting the wonder bar that was handed to him by Trevor, Mac hit a beauty. In the end it was enough to knock out former winners of the FA Vase St Helens Town.

I have to say there seemed to be a lot of Crook Town [who we knocked out of the FA Cup last season] in this team; I felt for them having had team management turmoil in midweek apparently and a bit of rancour on the pitch.

It was a sad sight at the end when their goalie disappeared and missed the team warm down and post-match inquest. I am sure St Helens are a better team than this and I wish them well but take nothing away from our display.

We were great again on Saturday. "Put the champange on ice, we're going to Wembley twice". I hope we avoid the cliches and don't become a "cup team" to the detriment of our league form. But for now victory is sweet.

I thought our passing was exemplary and our work rate fantastic as ever. Disciplinewise, this season is a revelation; despite the late challenges and headlocks our team didn't respond other than pass the ball better and score another wonder goal.

Can't wait to see the DVD evidence.

In the meantime here's a classic 70s advert for the chocolate bar that helped us onto victory on Saturday....
