For Football Followers - apologies to Stokies

The following is an extract of the Cardiff City match report for Saturday 11th February when they played Stoke City.

"Stoke Manager Johan Boskamp, in despair at his side not winning for two months and now facing Cardiff, the side who always turn his club over these days, got down onto his knees. "Lord", he exclaimed, "My Dear Lord, for one weekend only, please will you let me be like Jose Mourinho and let my team play and perform like Chelsea. For just this once, please let us match whatever Chelsea do. Have mercy on us.".

The Lord listened to his prayer and answered. And so it came to pass ... Chelsea lost 3-0 at Middlesborough, Stoke got stuffed yet again by Cardiff City by the same margin."

Thank you Lord.

Well, it made me laugh.

Cheers
Neil

I'm a season ticket holder at Colchester, so you can imagine what it's like for me at the moment!

I'm actually originally from Grantham, so the Nottingham-Colchester game was sort of a local derby for me.

My nephew follows them home and away, an I can't tell you how much I enjoyed texting him after the drumming we gave them :wink:

Looking forward to the return visit in April. A load of us are doing a stop-over - is the Black Orchid still there :!:

I've never been able to see the attraction of watching a group of grown men (well some of them are) kicking around an inflated pigs bladder, especially when they could spend the time more profitably in the workshop on a Saturday afternoon.

Perhaps it's just as well, really.

Cheers
Steve,
originally from Stoke, where the mugs come from.

Just put it down to having a chip on my shoulder about people who can earn so much for doing so little of something so trivial!

PS Amusing joke though!

Your right Steve and as soon as they catch up with it they kick it away again :shock: No point in that :roll:

And apart from that the balls the wrong shape !!
