Just thought I might put a " black man " in a wood pile re league positions. It's highly probable that Edgware will maintain their present form until the end of the season in which case they will only lose at most 3 to 4 games. We have already lost 3 games so it's also likely that we are at best playing for 2nd place and that only if we have a long unbeaten run. My crystal balls have unfortunately had a severe loss of power since last Saturday so I am unable to confirm this week exactly how many points Ware and Brentwood will accumulate but they did warn me that these teams could keep Dartford out of the play-off positions if the latter team doesn't start playing better.
I hope this is of assistance.
I used to be a pessimist too Archie, and like you I knew that everything was always terrible and failure was inevitable. I knew that foolish optimists who used things like facts and evidence to come to reasonable conclusions were just kidding themselves.
One day though, I woke up and realised ... what right do we have to assume that terrible miserable failure are exclusively ours to behold. As you so rightly know, the world is an awful place with no hope of success and no place for optimism. This was not just confined to Dartford FC, hell no ... surely it applies to every club, even the mighty Edgeware ... and indeed every person on earth.
That being the case, it occurred to me that just because we had an awful manager like Tony Burman, (a man who has never won the Premiership or managed an international side ... not even Wales!), I had no right to assume that our failure at DFC would be the biggest and best. In fact, being such a
pessimist realist, I knew we would probably be rubbish at failing too! All the other teams were bound to be better at messing things up than we were as we can't do anything right. Knowing our luck, we'll probably be so bad at being rubbish that by some quirk of fate we'll end up being the least worst team in the division and champions by default.
We won't deserve it of course, but at least you will be able to console yourself in the knowledge that we couldn't even fail properly!
Look on the bright side ... we will then be promoted (think of it as upwardly relegated if you like) into a higher division where your highly tuned negativity will surely find a whole new world to explore.
I'm sure that will make your day.
