This season of Tuesday night football is turning into something of a nightmare for Stew. You could watch Nightmare on Elm Street, or Hellraiser, or the Saw films, but this is a real life horror show for Stew played out every week as defeat follows defeat, in fact Stew has won twice in 13 recorded matches. At the end of the match a few complaints were made and Stew said he would gladly give it up, but nobody ever comes forward. Stew did remind a little of Avram Grant as he slowly trudged off the pitch comforting Tony as he was crying.

The Yellows got off to a good start when Badge scored and then Rob went a mazy run and slotted in for two. In fact Rob seemed to have gained massive confidence from his MoM performance last week as he went on solo runs, made vital blocks and scored twice, again his aggressive grunting in the tackle was there for all of us to hear, Monica Seles would be pleased with that (target audience joke).

At 4-1 down, after the impressive Badge had completed his hatrick, Andy changed sides. This did give the Colours greater possession and more of a cutting edge, but chance after chance were spurned as Rupert, Steve, Rob, James and co defended solidly, though with Andy, Rich, Bob, Paul P and Stew attacking it was a little bit of too many cooks. In fact despite their greater possession and chances it was the Yellows who added to their tally and a late Colour goal was scant consolation.

Comedy moment: Jimmer's Cameroon top seemed to be the butt of a lot of jokes tonight.

Man of the Match: Rob again after another outstanding display, the only negative comment to make was the fact he did not get my joke about coming and a prostitute! No not the Panda one about eating shoots and leaves.
