Whitey Grandad

So after two years we shall be in a worse position than when he joined?

It’s not £3m though is it. Inheritance Tax has to be paid in £ notes and not in muddy furrows.

That’s one way of describing a marriage betrothal.

She knew the value that could be got out of an old ruin 😊 She sadly passed away in October last year but she’s still with me in many respects.

Yeah, it’s always someone else’s fault.

He’s got his spreadsheets upside down.

But as long as you’ve got possession nothing else matters.

Would you buy a used car from him? Either of them?

My wife liked property development programmes and whenever we passed a derelict ruin we would always comment “development opportunity”

That’s rubbish. Some people never learn and are condemned to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

If it could be it would have been. You can’t make people buy your products.

What makes you think that? There was a reason that cheese was being imported.

If the club think everything’s fine and they were to follow Ankersen’s teachings then they’d get rid of him.

It will take him most of this season to adjust to the different standards of physicality in the Premier League.

It just shows that some dogs are racist.

I though that was normal in some parts of the country.

Yes, yes, but people still remember this noble stand against the modern world.

Does there? The only way is to develop slowly and steadily within our own capabilities. what some might call Post Neo-classical Endogenous Growth.

The loss is that watching this turgid sludge is boring as shit. I’ve seen washing machines on a rinse cycle that were more exciting.

So I cannot expect to see us in the Premier League again until 8 years from now?

Or… The table’s upside down and the rest of the football world is marching out of step with us.

That sort of reinforces the point. The ponytail only confirms it.

Gobble Gobble!

Well put and articulated. There are many myths in football and a lot of truths. ‘The table doesn’t lie’ is a constant truth.

Not aimed at you specifically but we often see references to ‘luck’ regarding football. Only gamblers think that luck plays a part in anything. Only gamblers blame bad luck. Football is more a matter of chance and probability and as a team you have to load the odds in your favour. Not taking unnecessary risks, taking more shots, pushing the centre of action into your opponent’s half rather than around your own penalty area, these are all things that will improve your odds. For those interested in football and statistics there’s a chapter in a book by M. J. Moroney called ‘Facts from Figures’. Originally published in 1927 my own copy dates from 1968. The chapter is titled ’Goals, Floods and Horse Kicks’ and he explains how all these types of incidents follow a Poisson Distribution, that is to say a large number of events each with a small probability of ‘success’. It’s the limiting case of a Binomial Distribution.
