Whitey Grandad

We have a game in hand on Brighton and Newcastle. Win it tomorrow and we go above both of them. What more could you want?

Tone honest I think I’d prefer Long.

It depends on who we could bring in to replace him. That price doesn’t buy you much these days and just sitting and counting the money wouldn’t buy us any goals.

And replace him with whom? It’s no good just knowing what you don’t want, you have to propose something better.

I find him frustrating because he gets into the right situations but then loses all composure and subtlety, unlike Minamino who knows what to do when he gets there. It’s just that for all other aspects Che is a better asset.

Tempting, but he won’t be going back to Everton. His contract expires in the summer and he needs to find some other mugs/club to take him on.

Do you mean we played for a 1-0 loss?

Tella wasn’t much help to him.

You can never score by passing the ball backwards and forwards across the back line.

Did anybody expect anything different?

Maybe that knock has thrown him a bit.

Yet their goalkeeper is given man of the match.

Yep. We’ve been doing it all game. It gets us nowhere.

No worries A quick squirt of WD40 and time for another try. I don’t understand it. Aladdin seemed to conjure up a genie every time he gave it a good go.

We’re in the Tuesday lot. Let’s see what happens.

No matter how hard I rub it nothing seems to work:(

Control

That’s not an argument for changing it now.

What’s wrong with these youngsters that they have to keep changing everything all the time? I like the current crest, compared with all the others it has some style. Besides, I have a lucky Saints key ring that my daughter gave me when I first started taking her to games over thirty years ago. I clip it onto my trousers belt and take it to every game and if things get a bit sticky I reach down and give it a quick rub. If the players ever ran out and saw that I wasn’t wearing my lucky key ring there’s no telling how badly they would play. I say ‘lucky’ but so far it’s not been much help but it must come good some day.

Lockdown does that to most of us

He doesn't appear in mirrors or photographs.

When was the last time we were in the bottom three? My memory gets hazy these days.

Plus we’ve had some controversial penalty decisions go against us. More than I can remember from previous seasons.

Referees bending over backwards to justify another referee’s crap decision.

I don’t think it can be changed to a yellow. Yellow cards or ‘cautions’ are not subject to appeal or review.
