Sad isn't it. I can't remember feeling genuine affection for any player since Adel (while accepting that he was also a complete ****wit) and Ale. Respect for a few - Nelsen, Dunne, Hill in a way - high hopes for many (Granero, Chery......just too many) all of which have been cruelly dashed. The one I want to do well now is Borysiuk, so prepare for him to be perma -injured and/or complete crap.

They **** you up, your football team. They may not mean to but they do.

It's been like this since we appointed Helen Keller as chief scout. Great for our diversity stats though.

Are you serious about the diversity stats?
Just that I have thought this for a few years now (after the departure of Good egg Arry). I'm sure we have been making decisions with this as a top requirement.

Philip Larkin. It's a good analogy.

One up top (Sylla) and Polter doesn't make the bench. We'll not score yet again. The best we can hope for is a 0-0 and that ain't gonna happen. How the hell has it come to this?

Philip Larkin was the poet. This is a better quote for the R's right now:
'You can look out of your life like a train & see what you're heading for, but you can't stop the train.'

You obviously think I'm thick as a plank.

How about leaving out the personal digs and I'll do the same?

Undoubtedly. Only whisper it though, as it's very un-PC.
