I'm pleased that Barnet didn't get relegated 'though - would make it even more embarrassing if we draw or lose against them in the pre-season friendly.
Just got back from seeing my local side Barnet FC. Not been for a couple of seasons and thought I'd see them in their relegation 6-pointer with Stockport County.
I was simply stunned at how poor they are. I'm being serious when I say I've seen more impressive pub teams. I still can't believe how poor they are. No defence, no finishers, and the midfield looked like Denilson x 4.
Anyways, they are 6/5 to be relegated with Stan James. I do not lie, when I say put your house on it. They're not even good enough for Conference South. I will be lumping on a grand at those odds.
To be fair, Barnet were in free-fall for most of the season. Even the bookies had given up. Then the lower league's version of Mourinho (Martin Allen) comes in and takes 7 points out of 9,and then sods off to Notts County (who he also kept up!!). The belief was back and they carried on like a steam-roller, to catch Lincoln who won 1 out of 12 or something.
Barnet's form in the last 8 games was automatic promotion form!
