Beef Bagel

I had another dream. We’d beaten Wigan 9-1! I was there the last time we scored 9 with Colin Lee making his debut and scoring four against Bristol Rovers. It was second division, but they all count.

No, this time Defoe scored five, but I also dreamt that we had sold him less than a couple of years ago and he could hardly get on the pitch as substitute? I also dreamt that we had sold Keano and Berbatov – was this a nightmare? No, just ordinary goings on at another not brilliantly joined-up-managed football club.

Anyway, here we are and I’m awake again. Great fun last week, but would you Adam and Eve it, the Bagel wasn’t there! It was LB’s birthday and of course he’s been cursing ever since – not LB, just that he wasn’t there. Mini-Bagel is also nearly with us and will be coming out of the oven very shortly.

We were on our way to Villa yesterday until on trying to rebook tickets there they told me I have an order history and wouldn’t sell to me! When I saw we were 0-1 down and with it being pretty wet and miserable I was glad we didn’t get there, but a nice finish and we could have sneaked it.

As we go into December, things are looking good. Let’s hope we can continue the progress. Things can change very quickly, but if you look at Harry’s CV, it reads pretty well and let’s hope he can stay around for a good spell and we can become contenders again.

COYS.

We’re alive again, although not firing on all cylinders.

Seven wins in the league before mid-November – I don’t think that happens very often. Let’s hope there are many more to come this season.

Eventually, a clear win yesterday although again a bit streaky. Crouch winning in the air – not like last week – and a nice finish from Big Tom. We want more of those, but he’s another guy who probably wouldn’t frighten my Mum!

Also, the win against Everton in the League Cup was good but the draw isn’t good although could be OK if we play their third team.

The game against Stoke was an aberration this season. Apart from that blip it’s only been the big playground bullies who have put us in our place. They normally wear red or blue so you should know who to avoid if you see them coming your way.

We’ll sort them out one day!

COYS.
