That reminds me, I must put some more brandy on the Christmas Pudden!

Bridget for manager!

Here's a stat that tells a story: Tackles won %: Norwich 18% Blackburn 67%

Unfortunately, that's not a joke. It's a good job there's no money to invest in the ground at the moment, I would say.

I fear you might be slightly outgunned, old boy!

The idea, I think, is that the central midfielders drop in there but they're either shi... they're either not very good, or don't really know what they're doing, or haven't been told, or they're not fit enough, or some idiot who doesn't realise that they're not suitable players for that system has put them there.

...and the changes are happening quicker than the worst case scenarios of just a few years ago. I think it's best to face the reality no matter how scary it is. Believe me the future we face is very scary, but we can make the outcome a little less hideous if we actually take our heads out of our backsides and do something.

Continuing idiocy mostly.

Perhaps best to use a hanky that hasn't got your seed on it?

Ah, but they didn't do a proper bedsheet with multi-coloured felt tips.

Protecting Stacy's fragile confidence perhaps? Which would be a bad show of managerial confidence in the players were that the case. Perhaps he had a niggle?

That's just so retro, man.

Write "Boo!" on a piece of paper and hold it up. Actually, don't do that, it's nearly Halloween and you might frighten someone.

Bogs?

Colin Hunt's office trolley.

Would one still have had to go to the game?

Rowe's strength is running at people, he'd get bullied like hell up front. Bad call.

Oh dear. No Nil-Nil

Hangin' On For A Nil-Nil, I'm Hangin' On For A Nil-Nil

I should imagine that you are being showered with Cash Out offers?

Two pretty poor sides here, you have to say. Can't see how Boro have been on such a good run from this.

One of Idah's better efforts, that.

Ah, I must have missed those two upgrades.

What does span the gap between two seasons though, is player and squad morale. It probably shouldn't do, but it definitely does.

Now that's definitely a euphemism. "Do you smoke after you've had your sprouts at Christmas?" "Not if I get her to use the goose fat."
