Wrexham: 2 - 2 U's & expungement appeal

Confession time: When I was younger, I used to name Aston Villa as my second team.

I've seen the error of my ways as I've grown older, but when I was at school it seemed acceptable to have a Premiership team with whom to allign myself for the sake of easy playground banter.

I'm not sure why I chose Villa, possibly because like United they never win anything, or because of the funny name/unusual kit. Either way, the 12-year old me used to get quite happy on the rare occasion Savo Milosevic found the net.

Because of my Villa daliance, I was a big fan of Dean Saunders the player. It's a shame then that Saunders the manager is a buffoon of Lewer-esque proportions. Have a listen to this interview carried out following our 2-2 draw on Saturday, he sounds more bitter than a box of lemons.

Anyway, it sounds like it was another good comeback from the U's, and a great equaliser from young Marriott, which you can see above courtesy of youtube fottage king MatBro51. I also notice we've taken the momentous step of overtaking the "biggest club in Cambridge" in the league table, so at least this season hasn't been a complete waste of time.

Speaking of wasting time, United announced on Friday that they are one of ten clubs appealing the decision to expunge Chester from the record books, a move which has led to much righteous indignation amongst users of the CUFC messageboard.

If those within the club feel that strongly about it then it's worth a try I suppose. But seeing as the six points will make little difference to our situation either way I personally don't see the point in us joining in with Oxford, Stevenage, et al in making a fuss. I also don't like our chances of success, as surely the FA will be very reluctant to make a ruling in favour of changing the table for a third time this season.

One thing I do hope is that we're not paying for this appeal in any way. At a time when the fans are trying to find to cash to buy the ground back, I would hate to think the club are wasting their cash on an appeal which is surely doomed to failure.
