Hal Berstram crawls up to the computer...
Hey geeks, two weeks ago I was thinking that Colchester United would be able to become the first team to go through a 46-game League season without winning a match. But now they have won two in a row... how? First 4-3 at home to Derby and now 2-1 at Burnley.
In truth, even though they lost the first four in this, the highest division they have ever played in, it was never as bad as it looked. Every time they only lost by one goal. I'm sure there are some hammerings to come over the next few months but most of the fan base would be extremely happy even with a 4th from bottom placing come next May.
And the real amusement is that Phil "not as famous as Michael and probably never will be" Parkinson, the manager who did the near-impossible and got the U's up to Division Two last season, promptly did a runner to the much more credible Hull City, who are still on for that 46-game no-win record, with precisely one point from 6 matches! Sometimes, in Star Trek and in lower league football, there is justice...

Still further joy to be gleaned from another good result from the U's, plus the fact that Parkinson's Hull City have climbed above the no-longer-so-mighty Leeds United ("we've got 200,000 fans, us"). The world watches on in amusement.
Another good result Saturday (16th September) now unbeaten in 4! - Could the Premiership be beckoning?
Now unbeaten in 7 I think! This is getting ridiculous. I must post in the main site again when I get my act together...
