Whitey Grandad

That was weird. They seemed to be wearing plain shirts over an away strip underneath. Yet their substitutes were wearing normal shirts. Did they even have numbers?

Ah, ok. Manning appears overweight to many of us. A consequence of this is that Manning looks to be shorter than Bree even though they are both the same height. In other words, of the two I suspect that Bree is the fitter. And he's a better full back.

I know it's hard to believe but last time I looked Manning and Bree are the same height.

I'd like us to win more games but the thought of getting promoted terrifies me. With our poor defensive 'style' we would get hammered all season long.

Only some? Something for everyone but I rather think we're showing our ages here 🥴

Claudio Lugli are good shirts. I have a couple that I bought from Hansfords in South Street, Chichester. There are precious few properties men's shops left.

So sorry for your sad loss. Going to the match as multi-generational family members is something that will live with you all forever. Enjoy every moment of your future matches with your son. There's nothing else like it.

Yup. No extra points for winning by a ten goal margin.

As a former full back myself, I can categorically say that Manning is not, and never will be, a member of the Grand Order of Full Backs.

A bit of trivia for you all. 'Tonka' is derived from the Native American Sioux word 'tanka', which means "great" or "big".

It's stating the obvious but if you're going to play a back five (3 CBs) then you have three CB pairings. Not good.

Call me old-fashioned but I have always considered it to be the fullbacks' job to cut out the crosses.

Well done Macclesfield. Enjoy your day. You all deserve it.

Is this what we used to call 'weather'?

But were they the ones behind the wheel? We all know how careful we have to be about statistics 😉

Indeed so. It hasn't worked out here for him but we gave it a go.

I found one a few days ago. But like all the others it was so full of random numbers that it was meaningless.

Thanks for the compliment. These days you have to take what you can. He's only "utter shite" in the eyes of a certain selection. A minority selection come to that. I read through some reports of the Middlesbrough game and Bazunu wasn't mentioned once other than in "our poor defending".

Because the tables that you and your accolytes quote are those that you have selected. Other tables are available. And different.

Er... no he wasn't. You and others have decided that he was. But he wasn't. You're too hooked on figures and ratios. When any team is thrashed 4-0 it's never one player's fault.

They just don't mean anything. They are randomly invented. We can only speculate as to the purpose behind the anonymous entities that generate them. If they were genuine (hint: they aren't) then there would be more information about the deviation and confidence interval in the results.

Our defenders are brilliant at finding space.

When I say "up my arse" the needles actually went in through my perineum. They shoved an ultrasound probe up my rectum in order to monitor the location of the tissue samples. I had a cystoscopy a year ago which whilst not immediately uncomfortable caused my enlarged prostate to bleed profusely and getting home from Basingstoke got quite messy. Good news that your stroke was managed successfully. Keep on breathing and moving!

And there's the problem.

That's my pet hate too. When my bag arrives I give them one warning then grab it and swing it around in a big sweep.
