.... because, the rumination about what might have been or was not been distracts us from the anxiety of what will be and the inevitable failure and disappointment/disaster of the fast-approaching future. Try it!

I suppose most people's idea of us "going for it" is football people choosing the footballers, and Steve keeping well out of it/just "signing the cheques"

I really hope so. It's absolutely devine to be right, delicious, it's what we all crave; but that would mean City being shite and struggling grimly against relegation next season, and as much as I love being right, and being seen to be right, I don't like seeing us being shite.

Yes, Kalas was out for months.

It's called: One team in Bristol. And you only have a phrase like that when there's two or more teams in one place. They don't tend to go around Norwich saying: there's only one team in Norwich. I don't suppose. Norwich played the Few earlier in the season, I'd imagine they called them Bristol too. The pair of us are pretty anonymous, as professional clubs go. Unremarkable. So unremarkable are the Few I am convinced that when they started wearing the comedy quarters jester strip again in the 60's or 70s or whenever, it was a desperate attempt to be noticed, because they're never going to get attention for their football.

Needed someone swift to "cover" Forbes, or Mark Hughes, or whoever was the solid but slow and cumbersome No.5 that everyone other than Liverpool seemed to have back then. He was Kyle Walker before Kyle Walker was born

Try calling it a "Sing when we're winning (but not always even then) section,"

Missing something this ^ ^ (although I love that they have got a comma in there), fer me .... how about: "CREATED BY THE POOR, TRASHED BY THE FOOTBALL LADS BETWEEN ABOUT 1968 AND 1989, STOLEN/CLEANED UP/GENTRIFIED BY THE RICH" ?

What was yer third?

Chubby Tomlin, Psycho, Belgians in the Concourse! "We didn't start the fire, it was always burning .... " Free the Trumpton Ten (are they out yet?)

I believe that the ladies were trying to establish their game a century ago but ran into some ... difficulties with the, er, blokes at the FA (otherwise they might be a bit more, stand alone, by now)

Whoever scouted him needs a pay rise (or an offer to come back); whoever coached him and/or decided to get rid, needs .....
