albeit 1 game into the season and it doesn't matter at all Huddersfield do infact lead the way at the top of the table due to alphabetical order Remember the days when they didn’t issue league tables in the papers until about 3 games were played? So you had to learn mathematics to compile your Score magazine cardboard tables. ”And that, gentle reader, marked the high point of civilisation. Soon came the smartphone, which allowed people to stop thinking for themselves, and caused society to begin its steady and relentless decline.”

They don’t lead the way at all. They might be listed first due to alphabetical order but they are joint first with us. It really doesn’t matter, obviously, apart from the laziness of the ITV producers not giving us the real credit. They do though; factually, we're currently second and they're first. To be precise Huddersfield are ahead of us on the basis that they scored their two goals away from home. That's the only thing that can be used to separate us after only one game.

That 3 was 6 back in the days of the pink or green sports extras where i have lived. Nobody actually tried to work it out including kids as it was pointless. Now fans usually give their team 10 games before trying to predict where they think they,ll finish.

It goes.
1. Points 2. Goal difference. 3. Goals scored. 4. Points in games between the tied teams. 5. Goal difference in games between the tied teams. 6. Goals scored in games between the tied teams. 7. Number of overall wins. 8. Goals scored in all league away games. 9. Whichever team has the fewest penalty points (bette4 disciplinary record) after 42 league games. 10. Alphabetical order unless a promotion, relegation, or playoff place is at stake, in which case a special one-off play-off match is played at a neutral venue with 30 minutes extra time and penalties if required.
So Huddersfield are ahead of us courtesy of point 8.

Just recovering from beer intake disruption syndrome after losing due to 2 horrendous goalkeeping mistakes from our new loan keeper cost us 3 points. B.I.D.S is a serious condition & should never be taken lightly !

Saw those on the ITV highlights and felt for you - clangers against what must have been a decent performance against one of the favourites must have hurt.

Saw those on the ITV highlights and felt for you - clangers against what must have been a decent performance against one of the favourites must have hurt. It was tough indeed. Deserved at least a point. Still we were 1 point from 12 last season after 4 games so here's hoping. Charlton away next Saturday at bloody 12.30. More B.I.D.S to follow 🤕 I'm getting to old for these Illnesses!

And Portsmouth (unfortunately) BBC wetting themselves over Wrexham and their “potential goal of the season “ on the news. I’ll give you two words you BBC knob: LOUIE and BARRY Watched the EFL highlights on ITV and of course Wrexham got proper highlights with commentary even though before the break they said they were at EP to see how we’d get on, on our return to L1. Oh and apparently Huddersfield “lead the way with promoted Stockport in second”. We’re gonna have to get used to another level of media bias. Oh and apparently Huddersfield “lead the way with promoted Stockport in second”. That’s correct though

pugwash, I feel for you. Up against a promotion favorite and apparently got a harsh result. Good news is, that's one down against the favorites and you held your own. Your lot will be in good shape by the time we face off. I know some of these "massive" clubs can't think about not being promoted but over the course of a long season, clubs like ours can get ahead of them. And, we will.
