Me and Lee were so focused on the Switzerland game at the weekend that I forgot to talk about his recent signings over a couple of beers.

That's what the shock of winning penalty shoot outs does to you.

If we could have bet on a Gothiques Amiénois victory at Canvey Pixels, it would have paid off very well.

Surprising victory considering the strength of each team but not in terms of the match statistics

Blackwhite - the recent home defeat to you was a wake-up call and a humbling experience for those players that had started to believe their own hype (also known as 'The Jude Bellingham' effect).

The players have been reminded of the importance of staying off social media, and to stop listening to the TV pundits who are always looking for their next victim to build up, and then bring crashing back down.

It's still very early in the season but the recent return of 1 point from two home games has led to some criticism and frustration from the terraces, but we are still nicely positioned for the European hunt - winning the title was never the goal.

A bit up and down form for the monks so far this season. A disappointing home draw against the Hoodies saw Scammonden booed off the pitch for the first time ever. That was followed by a home 0-1 defeat in the Champion's League Qualifier. It's a good job that we'd win the first leg 4-1 away. It wasn't good enough for some fans though and Brother Apricot (whose job it is to give out the half time oranges) was hit by a prawn sandwich thrown from the crowd. Not wanting to waste good food (there are children starving in Africa, you know), Brother Apricot waded into the crowd and shoved the sandwich down the complainant's throat. The fallout was mixed with Brother Apricot having to volunteer for a few days at the local food bank and the Abbot strangely deciding to extend the opening hours of the post match drinking session. A good run of form has occurred since, hopefully we should qualify for the CL group stage, and also we had good wins over Canvey Island and Seaburn. (Wins over Seaburn are like buses, you wait 24 seasons for one and then two come along in consecutive seasons). Anyway, Jaypridee look likely to win the league again, so if we can buy well in the mid season transfer window then maybe the cup looks to be our best chance of success with the final being held at the Monastery. That's the priority. Anyway, good luck all.

Last win against Jaypridee Town was in Season 71, last draw was in Season 75 :  So it's a great performance of my team

Four EL qualifying rounds negotiated and the Beach is safely into the group stages as the club continues its rebuilding phase. It shows how important a part luck can play as the closest Seaburn came to an exit was in the Q2 game when we drew a more powerful opponent than ones faced later in the competition. 

The group stage will be the end of the journey this time round as the team doesn't have the firepower of your Addos, Lemas or even your Colwells. But it's valuable experience for the kids and some extra home matches.
