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

Knobs 3 Whitewebs 1

A mighty win from a team with verve, passion and energy. Welcoming back as manager that crafty old c....  cart horse Sir Dave Jordan, replacing Cymru bound Sir Ronald a newly vamped team showed their paces- actually trot, walk and stop, plenty of the latter but enough of the other to put this opposition in its place.
We had a squad of millions so much so that we gave them 2, including the returning from an annual sabbatical, Dave, Joel 's mate. Bad move many thought.  Yet we won convincingly so we do victory and magnanimity. Worra lot the Knobs are. My heroes.
Woody, the laughing cavalier foraged, fought, fouled and fullicked and was unlucky not to score on two occasions sending one shot crashing against the crossbar and just missing out with a chip, I'd have bet on him taking on that keeper and rounding him. Another break saw him haring to the byline before squaring, Gavin showed the value of a pair of legs that can move by keeping pace with the attack and nodding neatly home.  Woody was left hugging and caressing a sycamore tree for the next 5 minutes only prised away from it when Dave threatened to bring on a sub. We normally piss against those trees!
James had replaced an injured Jaimie and we were looking pretty formidable defensively as Tony moved out to full back. Early second half saw the equaliser as a cross from the right was smashed home gleefully by Dave . Aye aye what's happening.
We started attacking more and more and each time with pace and threat and it was only a matter of time before we would go ahead. This time time an interchange between Woody and Joel saw the latter 'purposefully' chip over the keeper from a position 25 yards wide out to the left. A Gavin run was thwarted but he reacted very quickly to regain possession and cross where Woody's head looped in the third.
Several penalty shouts went unheeded by a consistent referee, consistently clueless as to whether or not they were fouls never mind penalties.
Big Rob performed well on a rare outing in his debut season. He was strong and always involved. An enterprising bicycle kick was followed by  a surging run into the box which deserved better than his final lunging shot. Martyn had a peerless game at centre back and Stu performed well in goal. His save in a one v one with minutes to go was a good one and allowed us to trot out comfortable and deserving winners.
The 'crowd', one John Boyle, thought the game was shite I thought it wasn't bad.
Goodly turn out in pub. No opposition, they're all Spurs fans! So!
Next week Sir Dave pits his wit and vision 'gainst  Sandridge, recently beaten 7-1 home to Welwyn.
Join him on his amazing journey.

Who took the kit?

I don't want to tell tales but Darren A crossed for Woody's headed goal. Also their centre back told me he kicked Woody. Definite penalty. The kit has been washed at 'The Wash House' in Potters Bar for £12.

Apology to Darren, but Gavin did the donkey work,
Hee Haw!

You won't see me doing it on Sunday.

Sir Pardew said...

Bill Shankley watching a game in which Tony Currie was having a blinder. Do you think he's as good as Tom Finney? Aye me bees but Tom Finneys about 60 noo!
That Shanks now he was quotable, today's lot they're tongue tied tosspots.

Pardew learnt off the master - Spit the Dog!

unbowed and unshamed said...

someone always has to bring up spitting! It's a perfectly acceptable cultural practice......in China.

spitters r us said...

You try telling that to Luton vets! They weren't happy when one of players decided to share his saliva.
