But wasn’t he the best manager in Europe at the time?

I don’t disagree

It should be an automatic technique. Maybe billiard table pitches have spoilt too many players. Those of us who played Sunday League know that just getting some contact of the ball can be difficult at times.

It’s ‘only’ nine goals at the moment but if by some miracle we made up those 7 points that gap would be closer. Nah, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

He was looking at the goal and not the ball. It’s a fundamental football rule that you should always keep your eyes on the ball. You should see your laces hit it. Or boot, at least. He swung his boot through where he thought the ball was going to be. At his stage of development this is a basic.

We’re only seven points behind them so these six points would put us only one behind. Oh hang on.

Well they are best mates.

Phew! That’s ok then. For a while there I was worried.

If you don’t have any Crème Eggs just stuff ordinary eggs up there. When they eventually come out nobody will know the difference.

Drums at football matches. Watching EFL games on TV they seem to be present at almost every ground. For the love of God, why?

Sad to say, but yes.

Ah! That would be why they put you in that cell.

Indeed we are. Have a good evening.

You’re treating it like you would other home games this season. We were already relegated! As I have said above, our approach was like that of a condemned man refusing his last meal because he’s afraid of putting on weight. We might at least have been allowed to enjoy our steak and chips. The decision to play five at the back killed any prospects that we may have had, just as it has on so many times this season. Especially when those five include Bednarek and Stephens. We were set up to fail and fail we did. I repeat, what were we trying to achieve?

And it was abject rubbish. How many times do I need to say it? We were already relegated so what were we trying to do? Can you not see that sitting back in our own penalty area just invites the opposition to come and have a go? Playing five at the back at home is ridiculous nonsense in any league. At the very minimum, absolute minimum, we should have tried to score a goal. It’s no wonder that so many left early once they could see that we had given up. You need to realise that the score didn’t matter. What was more important was giving us long-suffering fans something to cheer about.

Cramming our own penalty area was only going to end one way. We were thrashed again precisely because of our timid, negative setup. ”suffocate and nick something “? What on earth was the point of that? We should have gone down with all guns blazing.

The bagels you make cost $14.70 each.

Sorry. I don’t do miracles.

I must have stung him into action.

He’s a strolling spectator.

I don’t remember him ?

Once seen never forgotten.
