Major Isewater

Big Tone ?

He was excellent in the build up to Matty’s goal.

Are you a spider ? Just one knee to go for the set then.

They’re reacting to my comment.

It’s his third .

No one wishes further injury problems on Sykes.

How long do we have to wait ?

So they must be delighted to be playing us. We are so good at letting teams off hooks.

Have you checked down the back of the settee ?

Old father Isewater told me before a public speaking engagement ‘ Son, imagine the audience naked and you won’t be intimidated ‘ Well I wasn’t intimidated but I completely forgot my speech.

Closest I’ve come to sex for years.

As per usual it is the minority who spoil it for the majority. Clever lads who drug themselves up to go to a match are always going to be accidents waiting to happen ( it’s bad enough the kiddies who have one shandy too many) so there has to be certain controls and no I don’t like it either but what’s the alternative ?

You really, I mean really , have to love OTIB don’t you.

Go West…

YMCA.

Don’t do subtlety then?

King class.

You don’t have to, these days you can use a fire stick.

Oh Dire me.

Hi ho.

Didn’t he row well ?

I bet the Gas all love to suck a Fisherman’s friend.

That might be the hardest part.

When an opponent goes down ‘ hit him on the head , hit him on the head , hit him on the head with a baseball bat , on the head’ . Moderately aggressive wouldn’t you say? And the beautifully melodic ‘you’re gonna get your freaking heads kicked in’ . The generous deep harmonies of ‘ you’ll be dead by five o’clock’ Ah we loved a sing song back in the day. For me a killer for singing is being sat down , mingled into a crowd on the terrace you became part of one unit and were carried along ( sometimes literally) by the singing and would join in without being self conscious. I think we are also generally quieter by nature than those loud Northern monkeys .

I fear we all know what will happen. In the summer , after landing the players Manning wants and after a good preseason where they bed in and we thrash Mangotsfield Utd, Rochdale and Forest Green Rovers it will all go tits up and LM will be replaced by someone who will equally struggle to balance the wishes of the club and the reality. Rinse and repeat.
