Tyrone Shoelaces

That’s what I don’t understand. If they’ve decided he’s going why waste the rest of the season on him ?

He was probably happy with the draw.

My wife just goes off names as well. We were out in Spain about 10 years ago and she was on the phone to her son back in England who was reading out the National runners. She was looking out of the window at a really dull grey cloudy sky. When he got to one called “ Many Clouds “ or something with clouds in it she said “ That’ll do, put me a fiver each way on that “. Of course the bugger won. She only has a bet once a year, on the National.

They all blend into one for me.

How many times has that happened in the last 5 years ? In fact why stop at the last 5 years, how about the last 10 years ? How often do we get out enthused ?

I bet the lads who backed him to score 20 goals can’t believe their luck. Imagine if he was on 19 now.

Honestly she backs the winner about every third national. My horse never gets past the first time around. One year my horse got brought down by my son’s horse at the first fence !

Mrs Shoelaces just had the winner in the national.I don’t know how she does it, she knows nothing about horses.

Then we also don’t know what Brererton has in the tank , can he play 90 minutes ? That’s when you already have a 45 minute player in Dack on the bench.

Does he know how to fit Dack into the team ? In my opinion we’re only playing 3 centre halves now because 1) Lenihan is the skipper. 2) Van Hecke is a loan player, 3) Wharton is playing really well. So he doesn’t know who to drop and we carry on playing a system that was figured out by opponents two months ago.

I’ll be surprised if they both play 90 minutes.

Probably.

That’s why I smile when people try to tell me what a great spirit we have in the camp. If that was correct things like that wouldn’t be happening and also we’d be able to come back when we go behind just now and again. Normally when we go behind in a game it’s game over.

Five at the back again. I thought that had been well and truly found out by our opponents.

Gladwin was another strange one.

Who are they ?

Zeefuik, Giles, Brown, the kid from Spurs. None of those have set the world on fire. Giles looks half decent in his rightful position.

The ground is fine, it’s the ambition at the club that is too small.

I thought we’d no chance of automatic promotion and a 50/50 chance of making the play offs. I think I said so at the time. There’s an aura around teams that go up and at no point did we have that. Forest have that aura.

That Zeefuick’s been a great signing. I can remember one long run in one of his earlier games and that’s it. Nada.

There are no floodlights either.

If I were Blackpool’s manager I’d have him up against the weakest link, whoever that is.

I see we’ve appointed a new “ commercial partnerships manager “ in Francis Fielding. She was involved on the commercial side at Rochdale AFC. Mrs Shoelaces knows her from working at the stadium ( Crown Oil Arena alias Spotland ) and thinks she’s a good appointment.

I can only speak for myself but if that happens you couldn’t give me a ticket.

Brown versus Bowler ? That should be interesting.
