This time last year we were having goal of the month competitions! This year we are lucky if we have more than one goal to choose from! Things have got to turn round, it just can't go on like this.
What a choice! Attending the tennis club agm and listening to half wits who know sweet Felicity Arkwright about tennis or trying to follow our team of underperforming,overpaid,lilly livered,pea hearted saps on a cold night against a young,motivated team coached by a duplicitous,insincere ex manager!
Let’s be fair mate I could probably have my pre match pie and pint and give your full backs some serious problems.
But if the new manager can instill the guts and fight and mentality in these players needed for the battle ahead, clearly we need to keep them at least on the bench for us to have any chance of staying up, right? I'd rather go down knowing we tried the best we could with the best personnel available, even if it results in some animosity from the fans towards the team, than basically concede our Premier League status before Xmas. The Championship is a very tough division these days (look where Huddersfield, Middlesbrough and Stoke are) and it's by no means a given we'd be up there.
With the likelihood Watford will trade places with West Brom next season, I think he’ll feel suitably stitched up,
Good luck to Mr Mullins tonight. Spring a surprise, attack them and catch Lesta on the hop as they no doubt think they’ll cruise to a comfy win. I see from the press conference the watchword for Watford has changed from QSF’s ‘amazing’ to Hayden Mullins ‘fantastic’. Here’s to a fantastic performance and upset.
I am travelling over from work with a mate from the office who is a Lesta STH, who is being annoyingly decent about our plight and saying he expects a tough game tonight.
My late mum (just passed away earlier this year (what a gal) - 96 and kept it going until the last) never liked to be idle. She was always knitting while watching the telly. She knitted me at least one WFC bobble-hat. Walking back to Croxley from WFC v Leicester, 31 Jan. 1970, (we won 2-1 with an ultra-late Keith Eddy pen. and Barry Endean winner (I think in that order) following a Len Glover opener for them and them playing us off the park) two Leicester blokes - older and bigger than me - leapt out of a van against me and nicked that hat. Said incident occurred at the lower end of Baldwin's Lane (opposite the 'Bottom Shops' below Links Way). UEA for one will know exactly where we're at here. Personally I wasn't too bothered. The wool was too thick anyway. And we'd won completely undeservedly. And that sort of stuff happened all the time in the 70s. I never developed any particular dislike for Leicester because of it. But I was annoyed my mum's efforts should have been regarded with such impunity so I never told her. Such little respect. Point of this story? It's really nice that Filbert comes on here and is so respectful of us and us to him in return. The way it should be.
Maybe Filbert can get Lesta to make a HT announcement to ask for the guilty party to return your mum’s bobble hat. She’s sounds quite a lady. He’s probably been having guilt-ridden nightmares about this incident all these years, and you can give him the inner peace he’s been craving. Unless we win 2-1 of course.
Maybe. I can't remember that detail. Quite possibly given that it was 31 Jan. though. It was definitely a dramatic finish to rival the 'Deeney moment'. And also right in front of the Rookery. Glover was their star winger, scored a super goal and then they dominated until the 85th minute or so. I've no idea how we won it to this day.
I don't know what to expect, but I'd like to see this: -------------- Foster Foulquier Catchcart Dawson Masina ------- Doucoure --- Capoue --------------Quina Sarr ----------Deeney ------- Deulofeu Subs Gomes Holebas Femenia Dele-Bashiru Hughes Hungbo Put blokes at the back who are committed to defending (despite their lesser athleticism than the typical starters). Inject some youth.
The boiler got fixed today, we have heating and hot water. I have bathed and I'm fresh and wonderful again. This is a good omen. Lumpy Foxes 0 - 2 Smooth Hornets
No I seem to remember the Leicester game was on the big match with Brian Moore on the Sunday when Ken Furphy said Barry Endean was as fast as his Rover car, and was reprimanded for advertising!
I'd like to see: Foster Kiko or Foulquier (who knows) - Cathcart - Mariappa - Masina Doucoure - Capoue Quina Sarr - Deulofeu Deeney
