Gerrys long battle with alcohol summed up beautifully..
One more drink, you're sailing away One more dream but it's looking okay One more time to watch the flow of the river Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end up looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no
Rolands vocals in this tear your heart out and slingshot it around the kuiper belt. it Kills me every time..
Wonder what I'm thinking Wonder why I'm drinking But it's plain to see I'm not the man I used to be
I've lost days that won't come back Memories fading fast I should save the ones I have What's the use? Most of them are bad..
Casual observation from my stream is that The City Captain Chistoph Klara standing in the tunnel next to Dunne, is a dead ringer for Reich Protector of all we hold dear in Bohemia and Moravia , Reinhard Heydrich.
I'm hoping for a big game from Nsemba. As you say, little to no noise about him from the Aussies and all their press are writing us off.
I think we can hold them off with Williams and Smith kicking them to death and turning their big forwards around to knacker them out. According to Mcdermott we are going to play a different style ,a bit more off the cuff with offloads etc.
4.58 am and Just out of bed for Papua New Guinea v Lebanon, then Tony Blackburn 'sounds of the 60's on radio 2 at 6am. Then England v Tonga.
all augmented with a note from the Mr's on the coffee table this morning to say the Chigwall mother in law has flu and has cancelled her visit.
In the words of the high Gauleiters of the minimoog synth , The Human League ;
These are the things, these are the things The things that dreams are made of.
*Edit Morgan Knowles out for England . A huge blow as he's been superb this season in the NRL for the Dolphins.
That's him and Canberra Raiders Morgan Smithies both out injured from the squad before a ball has been kicked. FFS.
Can't fathom Kalum Watkins late call up. Decent player in his day but at 35 years old well past it for international rugby league. Canberra's Matty Nicholson now over his injury is much more suited at this level.
Also Owen Trout now at NRL Cronulla would have been a far better choice than Watkins.
Anyway back to Crispin st Peters singing the 'Pied piper' on radio 2..
Being an East Ham lad it kills me stone to the bone going to this unholy diseased temple in the Mega city one strontium dog wasteland of upwardly mobile Stratford'city'
Stopping off for a couple of pints in Ilford with Simon Stainrod junior before going into that shiny mothercare plastic shit pot where the tourists and whats left of the east end/Essex West ham support, walk the wheel midnight express style with the lingering memory of what they once were as a club floating around in the firmaments of their minds .
From Hornchurch to Canvey island they have their memory loops. Their habits. Behaviors that keep them walking the wheel of the club they once were. A club that meant something, that stood for something.
What do they stand for now?..Blitzkreig Greed . A big eye with a deep throat. Selling off the family silver for the blistering crack pipe of the tabernacle premeir league. I abhor them in perpetuity.
Once i finished hyperventilating about the squad selection it came to my attention that Tom Johnstone. Mike Mcmeeken, Billy Smith and Hamlen Uele are all scheduled for surgery so apart from Matty Nicholson at Camberra and Cronulla's Owen Trout the squad looks more or less about right, Hard luck on Danny walker And Daryrl clarke but i can see why mcdermott went with the hookers he did.
If Both the past and present England managers see something negative in Connor perhaps there is something to it, Although James Graham stated in his recent podcast that Connor was an asset both on and off the field when they played together back in 2018.
Worried that the same halves combo of Smith and williams who produced the square root of f uck all in the ashes will be asked to go again. Perhaps Savala might provide us with an off menu option. Not sure of Lewis at all. Apparently half back Jamie humphreys of south sydney made himself available for selection but Mcdermot couldn't crowbar him into the squad.
Max King at prop is a huge asset yet i've no idea of what Ben Talty is all about having never seen him play at the Broncos.
Very envious of you chaps going to the games,its a disgrace that the matches will not be shown on BBC or even Sky.
Always remember when he came back with palace in that 82 quarter final. Palace had some right thugs in that side Cannon and gilbert doing their best ronnie and reggie that day.
Clive running the lengtth of the pitch to celebrate his goal lol! Mike Flanagan an underated player as well.
loved that Venables side of the early 80's. Cup final, then won the league by 10 points the following year then Finished top 6 i think in our first season back. what a side.
Also from that golden age , a really good interview with my first hero, Simon Stainrod that cropped up on my algo. Loved the man. so much so i named my first born after him.
anyway not a lot of people know that Barcelona tried to sign him to replace steve archibald!
