The season of goodwill to all men is here Whatever their colour or code, And that includes all those down at Carrow Road Whether or not they can bring us cheer The season of goodwill to all men is here Whether right or left or in between, Politically speaking that is, for we´ve seen Much harm can come, without due care The season of goodwill to all men is here So to ILD, Donuts and Co, We´ve had our set-to´s and taken blow after blow When we should have perhaps lent an ear The season of goodwill to all men is near Where petty grouses are forgot, That is, if one´s prepared to forgive the tommyrot We all, at times, resort to on here The season of goodwill to all men is here Where hatchets are buried down deep, Preferably under lock and key in the Keep Where they hopefully won´t reappear The season of goodwill to all men is here Even those (me?!) with eccentric views, And even to our local neighbourly `Blues´ Just a shame it can´t last the whole year. OTBC Merry Christmas !!
Wonderful verse sir and how very RBF of you to offer an olive branch, now let us see who will take it in good faith. Happy Christmas to you, Mary and Rex!
Merry Christmas RBF, hope you and yours have a happy and peaceful one. (No apostrophe in set-tos by the way - John Balls would be devastated! )
"We've had our set-to's and taken blow after blow . When we should have perhaps lent an ear" This reads as (you) have taken blow after metaphorical blow from ILD myself and Co in an unprovoked attack. I just don't agree with you that our club is better off out of the Premier league and will argue my case . Hardly "blow after blow" they are just words and opinions. I'm guessing "when we should have perhaps lent an ear" means we = (people that don't agree with you) should listen to your words because you are correct and (we) are wrong. We are supposed to have different opinions that is the point of forums. You don't have to try and convert others to the views that you hold .
This post shows why, despite our differences, we are always good friends. Happy Christmas to you KIO, I take it you'll be using Delia's recipes to cook up a feast!
TBH Dave I'm really not looking forward to Christmas it's been an awful year for me in so many ways, hence why I haven't been able to do many MDT's. I won't bore you and the others on here with what I've been through this year, suffice to say I will be kicking out bloody 2016 it's a year I'll remember for all the wrong reasons.
I do know a part of what you are going through, just stay strong mate and hopefully 2017 will be more to your liking!
Not going to get into an argument with you Donuts, as Dave pointed out, the olive branch has been offered - take it or leave it. `When we should perhaps have lent an ear´ naturally includes me, otherwise it would have read, ´when you should perhaps have lent an ear´. And there´s no law that says we´re supposed to have different opinions, but it would be nice to feel able to turn up on here, without ridicule, regardless of what sort of opinion one holds, and it seems to me that there is just as much (or more) tryng to convert from others, as there is from me.
Combination of water on the brain, and a wonky keyboard gandy, but you´re right, the Balls would be twitching
Merry Xmas all of you and all men, not all women though, Delia's good will from me is on ice till she sacks the clown!
I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year from South of the Border! We may have our differences but deep down we are all proud to be East Anglians! Best wishes boys that's of course until we face each other in the Old Farm Derby! ps - With a bit of luck we will both have different Managers by then!
