Much Ado About Nowt

[royalbarclayfan]

(Just thought I´d break my sojourn for a brief visit)

´Tis much ado about nowt
These rumours flying about,
To the left and right
And centre, like blight
Just media out spreading doubt

I think by now we should all know
The profile Lambert keeps is low,
Until, in his way
He´s something to say
Which then he´ll not be slow to show

The few intimations he´s made
When quizzed, have continually laid,
All rumours to rest
Despite the real zest
Some reporters always parade

As recently as under the lights
After Adam Drury´s big night,
When, surprise, surprise
Chris Goreham the wise
Just couldn´t resist one more bite

I´ve not seen him yet lose his cool
Despite having to fend tomfool,
Inquiries here
And inane tips there
He´s still shining brightly, our jewel

And I´m sure McNally will find
A way to ease what´s on Grant´s mind,
Whatever it be
Is private, you see
And handled that way, it´s most kind

So here in my puppy-filled May
What I´ve heard has caused no dismay,
Just waiting to see
Who eventually
PL brings in, to go and play...

..alongside Holt and all the rest
Next season, which again will test,
Each and every one
But boy, is it fun
This league, one of the world´s best. OTBC

Sorry! got to go, dog´s calling

Hi RBF, good to see you take a break from training!

Spot on with your analysis as usual, enjoy the rest of your break





On a side note, Carra_Rud was trying to contact you, don't know if he was successful!

Hello Dave, have just seen Carra´s message, am on to it.

so just what has the dog trained you to do, mine barks in the morning and I get out of bed and let him out, he barks again and I feed him, he was very patient but I got the hang of it eventually

jarold - well up to now I´ve managed to get him out of bed, before he gets me out of mine, just. After that it´s very much give and take, but we´re coming along swimingly thanks, the 14 days he´s been with us have already felt like 2 years, but we expected that Days are long and tiring, but very rewarding

Hi RBF bor, nice to know Rex has got you in tow LOL. Re PL. Brilliant his handling of the situation. When he is good and ready to move on, he'll soon let us know.

Us old 'uns have seen it all before. Steve Bruce when City said no and Bruce said yes. The outcome City had to back down and Brucie boy left for Man Utd; same with Robert Fleck. Chelsea wanted him, again City said no. I have a vivid recollection of seeing Fleck run onto the field of play and that was his sum total effort that day. City got the message and off went Fleck.

Managers that have left us for bigger clubs and come unstuck. Ron Saunders left us for Aston Villa. John Bond thought the air at Man City would improve his career, that career is still unfulfilled; Mike Walker favoured a different scene from Norwich and thought Everton would provide a fillip to his ego. Tough luck.

Only manager I can commiserate with is Martin O'Neil, he did deserve better from our board at that time.

Incidentally who is King of the castle: You or Rex ?

One consolation. We have made a lot of other club fans happy. Our country cousins have had a good laugh at our expense, but then they don't have much to celebrate, do they? A Quens Park Whinger fan called our team "girls" fancy being beaten twice by a team of "girls!"

PS Like your take on Shakespeare.

Evening NORKIE, as you say, we´ve seen it all before, nowhere near time for pressing the panic button yet.

I think at the moment, the ´king of the castle´ label still sits with me, but I´m under no illusions that that may soon all change, when he reaches full velocity.
