Whitey Grandad

Same for me in the northern Kingsland but from the other angles in the highlights it was some way off. Not that it's important it needed clearing anyway.

?

It was going wide.

Very noticeable. Paper tickets at the turnstiles and people not knowing where they were going. Plenty of unknown faces around me and taking photos during the game is a big giveaway. Some poor lad outside the ground had a half and half scarf that his dad had bought him. Isn't that child abuse?

Instagram innit.

Shirt tug I assumed. I think the assistant flagged for it. Other side of the pitch to me and on my blind side.

Yeah that worked well.

Well done. What an achievement. I got exhausted just reading about it.

That defence wasn’t organised. Several times two players went for the same ball or got in each other’s way. It got lucky today but that’s all we needed.

I wasn’t impressed with City. Ponderous and unimaginative. Their one tactic seemed to be to walk the ball about a bit then get it out to the right wing and try a hopeful cross to the far post. The first half was a turgid tedium but the second brightened up a bit once we started to get stuck in more. Make no mistake though, play like that every game and we will score nothing and nine times out of ten we’ll concede a late goal or three. We rode our luck.

The problems were with the Speedwell which was unseaworthy. The Mayflower was an Essex ship possibly from Harwich. Its Captain Christopher Jones lived in Harwich and his house is still there with a blue plaque on it. I went to Mayflower School in Dovercourt.

And the Speedwell. But that was leaking like a Saints defence and got no father than Plymouth.

But what about all those tattoos? They’re expensive to change.

Ships date but the sea is ever constant.

Steaks in Europe are good too. It all depends on whether they are allowed to use tenderisers.

Certainly not.

I’ve had it in America. Perhaps that explains it?

I blame the hormones. I must keep away from eating too much chicken.

Of course it is. It’s a benefit to India.

Noisy, smelly and gets in the way.

If he is as useful as some claim then there should be plenty of takers.

And no spine.

Ours would be sold for glue.

They weren’t ’losing’ anything of course. They were selling on at a profit. It’s called ‘doing business’.

Mike Bassett reached a World Cup final. Just sayin’…
