Uncle Fester

If I can get good odd on that I'm putting a lazy ten on it.

I'm happy to eat my words. 18 months ago I thought he was only on the list because you can only clear out so many at a time, and he wouldn't have been worth anything on the market anyway. Then last year I saw him start playing good football, but I was pretty sceptical about how long that would last. This year has been a very big step forward for him, and I'm very happy for him. If he ever stands on the podium on the greatest day I get the feeling he'll get a bigger cheer than most because will know where he came from and what a sea change it was for him to turn it around.

Write the names down and bookmark the quotes, and then link them everytime you get a chance. Twitter is good for stuff like that. But always remember that revenge tastes better cold. We can wait. We're good at that.

As the bible says: a time to sow, a time to reap. I time to live, a time to die, a time to be spat at by an inbred Collingwood supporter, and a time to punch him in the face so he loses his last two teeth (also called a seven - ten split). God said it and I'm not going to argue with a dude that can throw lightning bolts at me.

It's customary after a line of coke. It stops it falling out your nose and wasting it.

I remember seeing him running along the wing / HF and two Collingwood players came at him from either side. They were timed so they'd both hit him at the same time, and he spun - yep - spun through the middle of the them at pace, and kept going leaving them both grabbing air. He had no right to do that and no other player could have done that, but he did it, and he did it as easy as you or I would walk through a door.

It has been for years. The supporters run the club and the board and surrounding staff are too [censored] scared to offend them. And when you add to this that the supporters are either drinking champagne because their team is better than anyone or drinking cyanide because they are the worst team in the league, then you have mob rule, and that never works. It especially won't work down Tigger Alley because their supporters are so freakin' unbalanced and unrealistic. Normally when you point at cultural problems in a club you target players, or coaches or admin. Down that way it's the supporters that harm the club in ways that no other club has managed, and probably won't. Until that changes they will either be suffocated by unrealistic expectations when they win, or drowned by the vitriol and anger that accompanies losses. But enough about putting the boot into the RFC in its moment of pain (as fun as that is). I want to talk to that fella that defected from us to go join them when we had our teatime of the soul. What was his name again?

We didn't. He abandoned us. This is the life he chose, not the life we offered.

Is there a link to the presser anywhere?

We back him. That's what we do.

"One talent spotter said overlooking Kelly, 19, could prove worse than the well-documented Watts-Naitanui decision." Phil Scully? Is that you?

You still have some? I salute you, oh dying breed.

Blease isn't worth anything of value. If anybody really wanted him they could pick him up in the rookie draft after we delisted him.

Looks like that day finally came. Vale Carrot Top. Long live Uncle Fester. Hopefully that meant that the subs went through now.
