Tonights MASSIVE derby

I've come to realise that things often get more hype than they deserve.

At the moment U2 are whoring themselves to anyone who will take them as they promote their new album, which will inevitably be jam packed with the same old turgid garbage that they have been peddling for the last 15 years. I don't dare touch my red button for fear of accidentally stumbling across footage of their "secret" rooftop gig at the BBC the other day, which imagine amounts to one long, publicly-funded, advert. Still, the cash the album brings in will enable their smug, environment-loving, frontman Bono to keep chartering private jets to fly his lucky hat around. What a hero.

Anyway, yeah, tonights derby match with Histon is getting similar treatment from the CEN; "Cambridge United and Histon are braced for the most important derby clash in their history tonight," it exclaims, without a hint of irony. Personally I find it hard to get excited about a game which probably be witnessed by less people than attended our death match with Crawley on Saturday, but there you go. Steve Y'Know is so uninspired by the game that he couldn't even be bothered to find any mud to chuck at United, instead choosing to indulge in some pointless manager-speak:

" I'm expecting a massive crowd. The way the league is set up at the moment everyone will want to be there. We're looking for a very good atmosphere," he said. Again, no discernible irony, very strange. Anyhow, hopefully the Brabinator will line up in a 4-4-2 formation for tonights game. Histon main threat is likely to come from the flanks, and the narrow shape we've adopted in recent weeks would probably afford them too much space to get in their usual barrage of crosses. Our leader's decision making has been a lot better of late, so I'm sure(ish) he'll make the right choice. Bounce bounce!
