Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 V @ Sixfields Stadium K.O - 7:30 Another day, another round of rumours as Bruce's cantankerous departure rumbles on. The Geordies clearly driven around the twist are now inventing stories about some French manager turning up to save them at the last minute. Though a 2 second internet search by one of our own number quickly showed that it was photo taken in France and not the Metro-centre. Still, when your world is falling apart you cling to the fantasy, so you can understand them. Living in a dreamed, an imagined existence seems to be preferable to the reality of having the former Mackem join the club. And us? Who knows? Perhaps our own fans are filled with dread. For Hougton tops the polls by Wednesday fans and bookies alike. Despite apparently having turned us down over the weekend! Again...fans must be allowed their fantasy when the reality could be so appalling. Monk, Rowett and Zola about as inspiring as 8 pints of liquid mogadon. Are these fantasies dangerous? Is blocking out the horrid realities worrying, head-in-the-sand behaviour that will only inevitably lead to greater disappointment when the reality strikes? I think so. So lets get back down to Earth! ============================== In the real World ,Bully take the chaps to sixfields tonight to take on Northampton where we carry on our preparations for the season ahead against Keith Curles lot. Two positive performances at the weekend, albeit against lower opposition, were pleasing to see. Especially Harris and Odubajo seeming to fit in well. Aye, this isn't the 100mph stuff of the season proper, but it's nice to see the net getting billowed. Northampton is famous for leather. Shoes. And Alan Moore who wrote Watchmen and V for Vendetta. Alan once said that " reality's not a fixed thing. The reality that we see about us every day is one reality, and a valid one – but that there are others, different perspectives where different things have meaning that're just as valid." Oh right. Well, if Alan says there's different realities then there must be. So....... Bruno Genesio to St. James's , Chris Hughton to Hillsbrough, laurab974 to Snoot Hall and Steve Bruce to the job centre it is then! Everyones a winner! ============================== 12 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Score a few goals, keep a clean sheet, no injuries. Chris Hughton watching in the stand would be a perfect night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Great to see the OMDT back Snoots old chap! However, the “against Keith Curle’s lot” has me slightly worried that Northampton may be an off shoot of the Wimbledon crazy gang and want to maim our players. Isn’t he also formerly of “the dark side” of the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The only thing I want tonight is someone on the next manager odds list at the game. We need this whole thing expodited and sorted, would be a great show of intent to see those wheels turning and hopefully complete turning by the end of the week.
