Title: Alex McLeish
Post by: brian green on May 23, 2011, 09:59:48 PM
While putting fresh paper in our outside lav I noticed a pen portrait of their manager in a Small Heath match programme.

His favourite television programme is Downton Abbey

His favourite player is Stewart Downing

His favourite holiday resort is Downpatrick

His favourite actor is Robert Downey Jnr

His favourite song is Petula Clark's Downtown

He is most likely to say "Let's all go down the pub"

And least likely to say "There's a good one in Upminster"


Very perceptive pen portrait I think.

Yes, and at that point their whole lives will flash before them, which will be a depressing and painful way for them to die.

I agree.

But don't downplay your obvious talent, and need to be loved. Make us see the error of our ways with your wit and literary prowess.

If he takes them down a third time does he get to keep them?
