What’s your football Chant No 1 ?

Great third goal in the link above btw.

A 1,200 km (750 mile) round trip last night:

A 97th minute winner for Los Blanquiazules.

Both of my teams sit in pole position in their respective leagues. However, both will probably be displaced by Sunday evening.

Last nights goals:
Algeciras 2-3 Hercules

Surely the Ref should have red carded the keeper for this wipeout?

Howe we could do with a striker banging in goals for fun like what Dec is!

[Rene Artois]

Still only an U19 this season!

He’s going to hold on to that ‘youngest player ever’ title for a very long time!

We aren’t promoted this season?

What if we aren’t promoted this season (2024-25)?

Will we win a game in October?… not too many bites at that cherry!

Physically tough, mentally strong, forward thinking, game smart.

Required:
Oven-ready fox in the box striker.

Instinctive finisher, smart positionally.

Any suggestions?

We’ve being moaning since Eve sunk her teeth in the apple.

4-4-2.
Square pegs in square holes.
Round pegs in round holes.
Stop the pointless running the clock down / breaking play up late in the game substitutions that can actually work against you.
Don’t make substitutions that aren’t necessary – i.e. throwing players on just so as they pick up their appearance money and they remain your ‘mate’.
Keep it simple – pass the ball to a player wearing the same colour shirt as yourself.
Run, battle, give your all.

[Rene Artois]

The weekend wasn’t a total disaster – ‘my’ Hercules winning by a solitary goals scored in the last minute of normal time.
I love Spanish football.

Great goal:

Kettering 0-2 Gainsborough

I’m surprised a league club aren’t taking a chance on him.

I stopped listening to post match chit chat from the ‘managers’ a good while ago.
They are all scared stiff of losing and all trot out the same turgid, lame, tired excuses. They are all as dull as dishwater and as predictable as gravity.

I understand science will eventually find the answer.

The multiverse is but one clump of mud on Captain Zorg’s storm-trooper boots.

Nb – in one of my posts I mentioned millions of years when I obviously meant billions of years.

Nah, at least two of OP stats are wrong.

DNA resonates at 40 not 42 GHz

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25584811/

Galactic orbits? The estimate is 20-22 not 42.

The Sun is expected to become a red giant in about 5 billion years. Since one galactic year (the time it takes for the Sun to orbit the Milky Way) is roughly 225 to 250 million years, the Sun will complete about 20 to 22 galactic years before it transforms into a red giant.

But 42 makes a good answer to any question about Brexit!

Brexit? Were you for or against? I have no idea but I’m guessing remain?

Estimates vary between 4 and 8 million before it becomes a RD. However our galaxy and Andromeda are set to start to collide in about 4 to 4 1/2 million years – I’m guessing the two galaxies will merge and be reconfigured as a ‘super galaxy’?

Apparently the final ‘merging’ will occur in 9 billion years time?

So,Rene, the football solution is go ‘for’ four two.

Exactly & absolutely!

Unless you wanted to go direct and really shake things up

4-2-4 … two big, strong, mobile lads in the middle, two mid-wing-forwards who drop when out of possession.

Attack, attack, attack!

I’d rather lose trying to win than win trying not to lose!

[Rene Artois]

The best football we played for a few seasons was under Admiral Nelson.

If it doesn’t work under Stan (Butler) then would it be worth substituting the bus with a boat?

[Rene Artois]

42

42 is the solution.

Rainbows are produced at an angle of 42° from the direction of the light source.

Uniquely you can partition the number 10 forty two times.

The Sun will orbit the Milky Way 42 times before catastrophically transforming into a red giant.

The universe is expanding at a rate of 42 miles per-second, per-megaparsec.

42GHz is the resonant frequency of human DNA.

42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything! The Deep Thought supercomputer gave us the answer!

More reasons why the solution is … 42

Sunday 6th October.

Table and latest odds following yesterday’s fixtures.

[Rene Artois]

Dec scores again.
Butroid grabs another – bring him back too.

[Rene Artois]

Let’s hope & pray we sort this current on-field mess.

[Rene Artois]

The Butler Did It

He needs to start doing it!

[Rene Artois]

Agreed, far too many substitutes these days.
At this level it should be a max of 3 from 5.

[Rene Artois]

Limited squad
Limited finances
Limited facilities
Limited managerial experience
Limits success

[Rene Artois]

We’ve a slipping clutch, an oil leak from the sump, a coolant problem due to a dodgy head gasket and the bearings on a couple of wheels have gone!
Other than that…

Just read these comments and wondered whether anyone has looked at the NLN League Table recently or reflected that until the new board came a year ago the club was dead in the water.

Come on. Why not be positive for once

It would appear that at least one of the wheels has become detached?

Thanks for that Rene. I think that form table says it all. I don’t think we are any where close to pasting anybody. If anything, we are due a pasting! Our next league opponents could well provide it! I have decided not to do any more “scouting” reports. Knowing our opponents weaknesses are useless if we cannot play to exploit them. Knowing our weaknesses and our opponents strengths just makes me depressed!

That’s a shame!
You were doing a great job with them and I’m sure many people were really enjoying reading them.

I appreciate that a lot of time and effort will have gone in to them. Bravo!

Hands up if they would rather see a striker and a nasty midfielder instead of contract extensions so early in the tenure.

Executing contract extensions as if we are still an EFL club.

We are not.

At this level, 12 months is a long contract.

Many players change clubs 2 or 3 times a season.

Do we have a single player at the club whom is worthy of longer than a seasonal contract?

It doesn’t appear so.
