For a side that´s just smashed in eight I´d say we did well on the day, To let only one in, and late On, still have a chance in the play And maybe a draw from the game Would have been more than we deserved, But second half especially we came Close to making Chelsea unnerved They are Euro champs after all With pedigree pals everywhere, And one-nil is quite a close call Close enough to give them a scare And with just a wee touch more luck Bassong could have done it again, When with time looming he unstuck Their defence but just missed Cech´s pen So here at this point that´s halfway We sit healthily in mid-pack, Away from the dogfighting fray With plenty of room at our backs So carry on Chris it must be Doing what so far you have done, Helping create stability From G. Holt right through to M. Bunn When those in the Manchester blue Turn up at the Delia Dome, A show like yesterday´s anew Could ensure some points stay at home And if in the January Sale One or two new boys should arrive, Who knows just what heights we could scale If they show the same kind of drive... ..as Bassong and Tettey and Co And the other summer recruits, Who´ve all helped continue the flow Along with those here before ´Hoots´. OTBC Enjoy what´s left of the week all, Yours
Hi RBF, it's the season for carry-ons, all over the telly this Christmas! So your timely effort is well appreciated! After our first few games of the season, if somebody had offered me what we have now at half-way, I would have laughed in their face and called them deluded! That sums up the extent of my expert analysis, perhaps I should apply for a spot on MOTD
Well I can´t imagine you´d do any worse and I think if most of us were honest, Dave, we´d have to say that 11th spot and 10 pts above the bottom 3 is a highly satisfactory return at the halfway stage.
