Lancashire, full of ****, **** & more ****.

City 3-0 Pie Munchers

 

Tighten up at the back and don't concede.

Keep hold of the ball in midfield and be more creative.

Be more clinical upfront and score goals.




Put that in a PowerPoint with some nice graphics, a bit of fading in transition whilst making the letters zoom in from the side and appear to brake alarmingly at the very last second and you've got yourself a top, top interview presentation folks.






One - one if we're very lucky.

 

Ouch! but true

 

Bend over and assume the position for another bumming into submission. League 1 defensive line and too many midfielders not prepared to put in the hard yards. The game will be over by half time.

 

Wigan have won four away games on the bounce. Will Keane scored on Saturday.

 

Baxter
Christie Jones Greaves Elder
Coyle Doc Seri Slater Sinik
Oscar

 

Those were the ****ty yank versions though and they didn't sell anything like as well in the civilised world. The fact relates to the far more popular UK version.

 

Its bigger than that... no losses in last 9 away league games , 7 wins and 2 draws
and more,,, 2 losses in their last 18 away games... 3-2 at Portsmouth and 4-1 at owls last February...

 

Let the resurgence commence.

Home win 2-0. UTT!!

 

Excellent figures soon to come to a juddering halt, we'll smash the feckers!

 

You'll be ****ed when we play Forest Green for the first time!

 

Ah, but it was at least the home of the Author of one of my favourite poems.

“What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

 

DMD's fact for Forest Green,
Nailsworth has more hotel beds than all the hotels in Port Vale.

 

It does raise a question on Nailsworth's claim to be the smallest settlement to host league football, as it's difficult to be smaller (or bigger) than somewhere that doesn't exist.

 

Most 'facts' don't exist, such as Portugal hotel beds guff.

 

They do in DMD's mind.
But what can you expect from someone who actually put liquorice shoelaces in his shoes instead of eating them.

 

Cannot bet against city so going for a win !!!
But **** me I'm not confident……
The sun has got his hat on
Hip hip hip horay
here in the costa del sol
confidence has run away…
I’ll get me hat !!!!!!
