Brilliant read Dave.

You're too kind Daz.

Post by: LeeB on April 09, 2023, 10:24:10 AM: Good piece Dave, but the comment underneath about still not getting the 'passing around at the back' I find mystifying. Do they think we'd be even better if we just launched the ball forward at the first opportunity or something?

I worry about people sometimes.

Knighthood for Unai and Mr Woodhall.

Another great read.

Dave has too much integrity to accept a knighthood.

I like that. I like it a lot.

There were people around me shouting precisely that against Bournemouth. Honestly.

Yes especially as it would be Sir David and not Sir Dave.

They had a Dave Beasant. We have a Bertie Bassett. He will deliver us the FA Cup in our 150th anniversary season, next year. Believe.
