Four in a Row!

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Would you believe it? I know it was Birmingham at home for number 4, but I wasn’t confident and thought they might make it difficult.

Someone tell me the last time we won 4 league matches on the trot because I don’t think it happens very often. Yes, I know about 1960.

Surely Harry can be Manager of the Month now – no-one expected this.

I saw the Bagel yesterday and he was happy and a birthday today – hip, hip…

I told him I’m not as popular as he is and would he make a comeback or give us a match report – we’ll see.

The next two look a little tougher – just a win in the next one would be nice!

Sounds like something will be completed before the window closes – one or two have gone (usual merry-go-round). I like Pav, but what do I know?

What a wonderful Chairman? If you can deliver what we want, we’ll forgive you, but we can’t wait forever and it’s nearly 50 years!

Calm Down, Calm Down!

Well, you still couldn’t make it up!

So we signed Bassoon and the window isn’t over (I hope that doesn’t mean any trouble).

We eased past Liverpool to give us a points total higher than that after 8 games last season. We cruised past Hull to go clear (well, almost) at the top, although it’s slightly too early to talk of title hopes. We’ll take one match at a time, as we do loaves in the bakery.

We’re now beyond our points total reached by November 2008 and we’ve got the Premiership’s top scorer. Well done Ramos, I mean Harry!

I’m still hopeful for the next match, but after that it’s going to get a little rarefied. Wait a minute, we did win the first ten or eleven matches in 1960!

It’s nice, but we can probably predict the future. Spurs, Champions; Wolves and Burnley challenging – back to a 60s future – Everton relegated. I doubt this will all come true and think the top 4 (or 5 big spenders) are now destabilising their nearest challengers.

It can’t go on like this – it has to be interesting for the non-neutrals to make it work.

We’ll enjoy it for now.
