It’s been a while since I updated you on Scunthorpe United.
Did you know they got promoted?
Well, they did. Now they’re in the Championship, which is the old Second Division. So there!
They reside in the same territory as West Brom, Watford Elton John, and Wolves. Astounding. Did we ever think we’d see [...]

Did you watch that? The FA Cup, no less. Between the two greatest teams in England. Chelsea and Manchester United. No less.
The very best.
Wasn’t that the greatest load of horse-shit you ever had to sit through? I fell asleep 120 times during the match. In fact, it got so [...]

Just to bring you up to date on the Scunthorpe United situation.
Scunthorpe are now 9 points (that’s right: nine) clear of their nearest rivals at the top of the table. Nine points – what the hell?
Oh, there’s going to be a lot of sleepless nights, let me tell you. Many a bare midnight [...]

This is great news for Scunthorpe and for all right-thinking people everywhere.
Go Scunny! The Championship beckons.

The Scunts are now top of the table.
After the weekend’s results, Scunthorpe United are now on 49 points and Oldham are just behind them on 48, but with a much better goal difference. Forest are also on 48. It looks like the game between Scunthorpe and Oldham on the 13th January will be [...]

Now, fair play to the Scunts for making a liar out of me. Last week I was taking the piss out of them for their disgraceful defeat at the hands of Blackpool but then, on Friday, they travelled to London and beat Millwall 1-0 with a late goal from Torpey. Helped by [...]

Jesus, you know I have to admit, the bums put it up to Villa tonight. But for a flukey penalty, Villa wouldn’t have gone home with a result. And our boys had a couple of close shaves, sliding shots an inch wide of the post and forcing one or two desperate saves. [...]

The bums were at home to Cheltenham, and heading for another miserable nil-all draw, when our own Andy Keogh popped up in the 90th minute to bang in the winner.
Up to 14th place.

Scunthorpe United beat Port Vale 3-0, hoisting themselves up to 17th place in the table.
As usual, the great Billy Sharp banged in a couple of goals, and to be honest with you I have no idea why this guy is still with a crowd of bums like Scunthorpe. Billy is a class act. [...]

Scunthorpe United are now second last. If the last team in the league, Rotherham, hadn’t started with a ten-point penalty, Scunthorpe would be at the very bottom of the table. The Universe is restored to its rightful transit.
