Selections for 2017-18

Time to pick my new teams for the new season, although I am allowed to keep the ones I like.

1) Premier League : Arsenal : My Team

2) Championship : Brentford : Bring them back as they have good facebook coverage

3) League One : Southend United : Old Home Town

4) League Two : Exeter City : Current Home Town

5) National League : Torquay United : Nearest Team

6) National League South : Weston-super-Mare : Nearest and good facebook coverage

7) Southern League Premier : Tiverton Town : First season at this level

8) Southern League South & West : Barnstaple Town : At the end of the Tarka Line

9) Western League Premier : Buckland Athletic : Newton Abbott based, not too far

10) South West Peninsula League Premier : Exmouth Town : Right beside the train station

Level 11 and onwards I will keep to myself ..... maybe

11) South West Peninsula League East : Alphington : Know some youth team players

The first pre-season matches have already taken place so if I have time I will add another post.

2016/17 Season

Did you miss me? I wrote a lot on this blog in my head but none of it made it to print. Real Life can be so damaging when it becomes all consuming. Having lived at least a lifetime during the course of this season just gone I only have time to summarise.

My selections:

Arsenal - Won the F.A.Cup
Brighton - Promoted to the Premier League

Not bad for my top two picks.

Southend United - Just missed out on the play-off places
Exeter City - Reached the play-offs and lost to Blackpool in the final

Pretty good results really for my top four teams.

North Ferriby United - Strongest team holding all of the others up
Weston-super-Mare - Finished 15th after a poor start to the season

Not so good at theVanarama National League Level.

Weymouth - Finished 10th in the Southern League Premier Division
Tiverton Town - Finished 3rd then beat Taunton Town 3-1 and Salisbury 2-0 to gain promotion

Impressive result for Tiverton who I figured were permanently stuck at level 8.

Bridport - Finished 16th in the Western League and I found out nothing all season
Exmouth Town - Finished 5th in the South West Peninsula League Premier Division

I did drive past the Exmouth Town ground several times but I never stopped.

Maybe I will be able to do more supporting in the coming season 2017-18.
