Yep.

Sunderland and Gillingham sitting 15th and 16th in the table, Blackpool siting at the top. I have a 100 English pounds for ANYONE that wants to bet me that Blackpool finish top of the table, your pound to mine . I say they don't, you say they will. I will send 100 quid to Mr Garawa Monday morning so he can hold the cash, if you do the same.
I will bet Mr Rimshot 250 pounds that Gillingham finish above Blackpool at the end of this season,2019/2020 , and if he doesn't want that bet, I will bet him a quid that Gillingham FC finish the season above Blackpool FC, and if he wins....jjjeezzz we were bad, lol.

Anyone at the game ?? Were we playing well but just could not score or were we just bad because the players need to settle in and get to know each other ?

A bad day all round for me.Stuck at Faversham station for two hours with a big tree on the line at Newington.Missed 20 minutes of the game,including our goal.After I arrived we conceded two,but luckily Bonham saved a penalty.I wasn’t sure why we kept hoofing the ball in the strong winds.We nearly equalised late on,but Burton played the game out well.
