Been this season to watch Rochdale against Yeovil and Crewe against Stevenage. Enjoyed both immensely.
Certainly not the same quality of football, but good honest football, with no diving, cheating, whingeing, moaning to referees, etc etc etc.
I won’t pretend that I want us to go down – no-one wants to see their team fail – but if we do then the world will not end. For me anyway.
I met two girls down the pub last night who had strong Cardiff accents.
I said, “I know that accent. You two ladies are from Scotland, aren’t you?”
“Wales, you ****ing idiot,” one of them replied.
“Sorry,” I said, “You two whales are from Scotland, aren’t you?”I do remember it.
A bit of a publicity stunt really, but Latics argued that Berwick are actually in England, and travel etc wouldn’t be worse than going to Exeter, Torquay etc.
So he buys a blank shirt and decides to put a name on it. His decision.
But he’s now due a refund? How exactly does that work then? :shock:
A goal scored from a provider with him in the box. Exactly the type of play that is his strongpoint, a la Lineker et al. He’s a poacher.
He wasn’t being asked to play as lone striker and create his own chances.
One error hardly makes him a villain.
And in the head-hanging department our so called strikers (and that includes midfield) should do so far more.
Well, I’m ready to watch the football on telly tonight.
A host of stars, and quite a number that people haven’t recognised yet.
I thin it’ll be close, and could be decided by a penalty save.
Yes – Escape to Victory’s on again :D
I was always convinced that’s what Bolton did when they were in their yo-yo days:
one season in the Premier League attracting crowds for novelty value/top players on show, next season Championship (or whatever it was called) with success and getting them through the gates that way.
Can be recycled quite a number of times.
The problem we have is that the novelty value of seeing top Premiership players has gone. Replace with a season of winning and Roberto is your Dad’s brother.
In Juliet’s famous balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet – she is not saying “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?” as though asking where he is.
Wherefore means “why” and she is saying “wherefore (why) art thou Romeo?” – that is “of all the guys in the world why did you have to be Romeo of the other family?”.
I’m not going to go all “I was there when we played Old Etonians in 1893…” but quite a number of years ago I remember my son and I agreeing, as we were in one of those seemingly interminable seasons trying to get out of what I still call the Third Division, that it would be really good to be an established “Second Division” club, because then we might (just might) have one season where we crept into the Premiership.
I am really pleased we have been where we have, and if we can be an established Second level team (and maybe that’ll be Premiership II at some stage) with an occasional foray for a year or six into the top league, then I’ll be content.
