Miles from Nowhere

You thought I'd draft rock. But it's paper. Bugger, who said scissors.

Cam Mooney could not possibly let himself down. It is what it is.

I know the premise of the OP is best 22 but surely we can't select a side with only an aging, slowing and increasingly injury prone Russian as the sole ruckman, with occasional chop outs from Dawes or Clark? What happens when he goes down?

Which makes him so much more memorable.

I can just remember the 25, but stronger memories of his return from the West in 35.Brylcreem, ankle strapping and menace. And twenty years later I always enjoyed the way Balls went about his work - and a great bloke too!

The bus came by and I got on That's when it all began There was cowboy Neeld (sic) At the wheel Of a bus to never-ever land - Grateful Dead

Spelling = pass, typing = fail

Locker 26 would already have J(ay) Viney on it - or perhaps not with only 23 games for Uncle Jay.

Any references to the trenches and war. It is neither - it's a game FFS.

And to take the Cowboy's point a step further - get a number allocated before Christmas.

"Moneyball" - referring of course to a Brad Pitt flick not sabermetrics.

Perhaps the MFC could take a Riddle, but only in a double pronged attack with Freddie Clutterbuck?

Are you confusing Don or Ted Cordner with Denis?

Spell check please.

Stephen Michael?

Don't fall for that gormless diver ever again - that would indeed be bizarre.

He was seen in a moonboot this morning at the club's "reeding in skoolz" programme. Really popular with the kids - signed a lot of autographs.

I had a haircut yesterday and the barber said that he lives next door to Dale Roberts grandmother. She says he barracked for the Dees as a kid. Idolised Woey.

Great idea! The club is in such a strong position that we should tear up millions on a pub. Not with any costings, budgets or business plan. Simply because there's a park across the road. That would be a good one to run past the next Foundation Heroes function. Sheez

Best thread of the year - bar none!

In a number of the previous posts Cam got the approbation - WYL noted that it is a broader involvement. Members who can remember the '80s will know the name Peter Maynard. Maxie is up to his neck in this - and more. Go Dees!

Ethics? I though Ethics was a county cricket club.

Good post. At the Club Lunch on Friday, MN commented that on taking over, and following Misson's appointment, each player on the list was given a personalised sheet of pre-training. On the players' return to the training track he queried Misson on where it went wrong. Misson alleged that 50% - yep 50% - of the list had not complied. MN mused that he hadn't seen "optional" written anywhere. Which led onto some serious comments on buy-in, leadership and the dreaded "culture". I warrant we won't be having this discussion in 2013.

Hilarious bit of trolling. A new high.

Just about the thread of the year. Cite a reference, that doesn't exist; toss in a clue like Petterd and superstar in the same sentence and sit back and watch the knickers twist. Good work Tex (or possibly not).
