So, this link is about a team called Billingham who lost 14-0 after fielding only 7 players.

Thing is, that's not really the story here. What intrigues me is the little information box on the left hand side. Apparently, Billy have lost 16 of 17 games this season and have a GD of -53, yet they are only SECOND bottom! Who the hell is worse than that?

Hebburn Town, apparently...

Billingham have more points (3 rather than 2!) but Hebburn have a better goal difference and a game in hand.

By Billy Christ, how bad are Hebburn? It must be like watching the women's team, except they're playing Manchester United.

I'm also intrigued by Consett who seemingly have played all of their games away...

Ahh, that would make sense. I love the fact that they're playing 'The Magpies' for a celebration game, there's a beautiful irony.

They've only got 7 away games left to play, I'd love to have that with my local team!
