It's no secret that Mossley are having a few problems on the pitch at the moment, particularly in regards to scoring and defending them. Thankfully though it hasn't got quite this bad:
Laurel and Hardy were great weren't they? There wasn't an occupation that was around in the early part of the last century that they couldn't mine for comedy - boat painters, car mechanics, piano movers and, memorably, the Foreign Legion.

Particular highlights from the many phone transcripts with call centre staff listed include the aforementioned victim pretending to be god and, in one inspired exchange, to have travelled two months back in time.
Hopefully there are one two things here that will keep you occupied for a few minutes while we await the arrival of Harrogate Railway Athletic.
