Faraway Sir Ronald

It's been on and off for years but finally the time has come for Sir Ronald to be put out to pasture in Pembrokeshire and become Faraway Sir Ronald. Plenty of gardening to be done and the drink is already a distant memory. The KNOBS, who are they?

Goodbye Sir Ronald

MBDA 1 Knobs 1

A frosty morning, an unplayable pitch and Andy Murray getting hammered on TV what more could you want? Will it be 150,000 years before Knobs win again, possibly, before Newcastle win anything again, probably.
Withdrawals of Phil and Darren and crosswires with Roy ( I wouldn't cross anything with Roy)
led to us playing with the bare eleven and me as a grumpy sub. As I say we had the bare eleven.
The pitch was a huge leveller and though we made far more chances, they only threatened from corners or freekicks that Dave concedes to keep us on our toes, unfortunately we missed more chances, far more!
They foraged well but how that bloke avoided the own goal with his swipe that miraculously hit the post..... We scored midway through the second half from a neat move which saw another Gavin square ball lashed high into the net by Matt.
With 20 minutes to go Ron replaced the wounded elk that is Steve and promptly missed a glorious chance from a sweeping move- it were the pitch I got there too early! From another inexplicable miss they booted clear and one of their better players shot home from an angle, the ball bobbling from an iceberg and going over Trevor's outstretched arm. We threatened again but I think the pitch won.
A first for the club, Alistair refusing to play second half with a trainer clad Brendan because he kept slipping and miskicking. Remedy? Brendan changed his footwear. Not for him the retort of kettles calling the pot black or fuck off you cunt- Nancy's traditional greeting to Chris Wil;son.
Dave played well- fouls a lot. Chris G played well, never ever fouls intentionally!
The Mallard was well attended by us not so by them. We slagged off those who weren't there, what a mirthful hour. There was "food".
Dave fouls a lot but rarely in the pub except on special diet.
Friday is my investiture night apparently in the Station I will arrive suitably attired.

Oh yes signed Dick!
PS who wishes to manage next season- must be a Knebworth resident, have broad shoulders and a thick skin, have an innate sense of humour not a tansplant and be able to tyyppefjt.... My vote is for John Boyle that indefatigable worker vbehind the scenes. No fans of clubs outside the Premiership need apply.

Nobody set up Ron's mrs. But she wishes she was out of it.
Ron only missed one by the way which came from one of the game's sweetest movesd. Sic. a knock forward from full back by Dave, a call by Ron to Chris W to dummy- he obliged getting two defenders out the way- a deft flick by Ron- for it is he, mininimum of effort maximum of ability and experience, sets Gavin through to the by line.
He foolishly squares a beautiful ball to the penalty spot for Ron (I keep telling him to be selfish and walk balls into the net himself). Ron premeditates where the ball will land and gets there too early (frosty bobble actually) and clips wide. I remember because there'll not be too many such incidents to revel in in the future! Cunt!

sleepless nights said...

Don't lose any sleep thinking about earlier misses in the season Ron.

Still depressed said...

Doesn't beat my attempted right foot curler into the top corner that eventually went for a throw-in. Should have walked off there and then. Never going to be our day. Or year.

Fabio Capello has told Wayne Bridge that John Terry has lost the captains arm band. He asked him if it was possible to look under his bed for it.

piss off you shitty knob, is that lively enough for you?

come awake said...

John Terry is obviously not much cop as a human being, so give him a break.
Think he'd also struggle in a mediocre team- lucky bugger isn't he?

outside the bubble said...

Terry? Not the brightest but has done well materially.
