    If we tried the former a little more often, then the latter would happen, even if by accident.

    No one wants to shoot. We piss around until we lose it and then chase the opposition back towards our goal, trying to get the ball back.

    Perfect, mate. Even I can’t **** with that. Loko & Supertyke might have a go, but have heard they’re busy mud wrestling tonight. :)I

    Well done fella. The conspiracy to stop us getting to the ground on match days is finally starting to make sense

    I'm sorry, I can't let that go either. No one can struggle to multi-task if they omit the hyphen :D:D

    Full disclosure mate. I mean no offence and you'd probably have me on toast most of the time, except last year I bought the ramped-up version of Grammarly to help my Son with his dissertation. Now I can't send an email without getting a Pullitzer prize nomination. It has definitely overstayed its welcome, assuming it ever was in the first place, in the same way our owners have

    Excellent. Great to find someone on this board who doesn't take themselves too seriously. It reminds me of the episode of Alan Partridge where he meets fellow Lexus driver, Stephen Manghan*. Now to find someone else who'll admit they voted Brexit :D:D
    *He doesn't exist according to Grammarly, replaced by someone called Meghan - whoever that is

    In answer to your question ‘what as happened?’
    Due to last season’s disastrous season where we almost reached the greed league but didn’t manage to sell anyone we are changing direction.

    BFC have decided to play a completely new brand of football. This entails finishing as low as possible in the league. In their reckoning this will enable them to sell more players. We set out not to win and if after 70 minutes we are still in the game our lack of fitness means we will inevitably concede. Our new style is very clever it involves us letting the opposition have as much of the ball as possible. We are perfecting this method as each game we become less and less able to pass to a red shirt. If anyone forgets the plan and scores he is automatically left out the next game as a warning. Also if like Wednesday night somebody actually creates a chance he is hauled off as soon as a sub can be warmed up.
    We are working on other subtle tweaks. Our keeper as perfected the runny walky get nowhere shuffle this is employed from the first minute. We are also working on a new throw in (this made it’s debut on Wednesday). If we think we are too far forward to get away with passing back to our goalkeeper the thrower let’s the ball slip from his hands. He then lunges forward to catch it just to make sure the ref as clearly spotted the error.
    The plan is working to perfection other than that pescky Derby County continually having points deducted. I am however confident that this is a blip and we will manage to gain our owner’s desired position by Christmas
