And why not; someone has to shake those money-makers by the hand.

No one. It would have been RHJ if he'd been allowed to stay out longer before he had come inside for his tea.

Blather, blather, blather, distraction and bland observations.

"We spoke at half time about trying to play with energy, and being more offensive in the second half."

Yes Michael, it was quite offensive.

Whatever. Why waste time listening to time-wasters.

One could sit in a high-backed, fluffy padded chair up on the moral high ground and muse upon the difference between a battle and a war, to place this period of our lives in a strategic context of a dead-end season.

Yeah, but you're not sat in chilly wind-blown stadiums watching Town slide into a Sladian descent into badness.

There isn't anything positive to say. Davis in the Parslow Pivot Point was an unmitigated failure, the centre-backs, easily disturbed, Dennis wasted as the solo scuffler. Others auditioning for Altrincham.
