I wrote this to get it off my chest! Still think we'll probably be OK .
I tend to celebrate the fact that we have got nine-elevenths of the team playing so beautifully in the PL rather than two elevenths are so useless/unlucky (your choice)
If I am going to 'apportion blame' for the latter I'd say a) the recruitment team except that
b) top strikers simply don't want to play for teams outside the top 6. None of the bottom half have bought any better: if they are better up front it is because their home grown strikers are better than ours.
None we have produced ourselves are quite good enough for the very, very high standard we are playing at.
I don't actually think there is anything more we can do except carry on playing the football and hope the stats even out. I think they will.
INEVITABILITIES
Orange juice is orange
Bowie was a star
Sea water is salty
And we’ll hit the bar
Flounders live on seabeds
I don’t believe in ghosts
Donald Trump’s a dickhead
And we’ll hit both posts
Johnson is a spaffer
Eggs come from a hen
Vaccination’s working
And we’ll miss a pen
I like beer and chocolate
Coal came from a mine
Attenborough’s a hero
They’ll clear it off the line
Adders are quite venomous
Bankers serve their class
Lockdown started too late
He’ll save it with his arse
Cycling makes your legs strong
Palace aren’t my besties
I can’t play the piano
He’ll save it with his testes
Bloody hell, it’s in the net!
Dunk’s kick was precise....
Naturally, it’s disallowed!
Ref *blew the whistle twice*.
And of course the closure
To this pointless rhyme -
It goes without saying
They’ll score in stoppage time.
Except that Man United
Prolongs this sad epistle
Because they scored their winner
After the final whistle....
So, back to the Championship
With my pint and pie
Football on a Saturday
Where the stats don’t lie.
