Swindled Town - another grape, Mr King?

[Gilliver's Travels]

They really don’t give up, do they! This is from the Whingedon Town official site’s betting news column.

“ Odds to win the Second Division outright have caused a stir within the gambling circle and Swindon Town have been set at 9/1 to claim the title. The outcome of Andy King’s close season transfers and the decision of Tommy Mooney are likely to affect those figures, but it is not a bad bet for a team that clearly outplayed eventual playoff winners Brighton. “

Maybe Ladbrokes should introduce some special categories just so that those poor Robbed Robins can win something next year. How about:-

Bendiest, whippiest crossbar twang

Longest distance goalpost rebound

Most ludicrous Tommy Mooney penalty miss (even they should win this one)

Most realistic tears in a [playoff] death scene


And finally, still thinking of woodwork...

Most convincing managerial impression of a plank



Any others?

Worst defence in the division. If we had attacked them early in the second leg it would have been all over at half time.

Most off target on target shots on goal

Maybe top prize for 'Most Games we shoudda won but didn't' Or even 'Highest ratio of Cigar puffs to Crossbar twangs'

 

[saltash seagull]

prize for being the best team in the division but only finishing 5th

Once Mooney leaves (to us to rub their faces in it), Most Surprising Relegation Candidates

The best manager at inspiring the opposition before a ball is kicked award.

This would be won by Bristol City. We all recall the "Better luck next year Brighton" banner
