Quoted from lew chaterleys lover


I couldn't agree more;  but to my eternal shame in my rush to get posting with what I thought was a clever play on words I spelt his name with only one t. I've tried to change it but I can't find a way to do it unless someone knows?

Edit. And of course there should be an apostrophe in the name. Bad day at the office there.


I did wonder if Lew needed to get his missus away from visits to the Brocklesby Estate every other Saturday when Town were playing away…

I live near the Brocklesby Estate.  We've got the makings of a novel taking shape here!

Quoted from mariner91


Yeah he goes down a bit too easily sometimes trying to win free kicks. But it’s not such a regular occurrence that it’s an issue and pales into insignificance in comparison to the many, many positives he brings the side. You literally labelled Rose as a negative in your original post which is absurd.


When he's down, and the opposition has the ball we are in essence down to 10 men, due to him being deep in opposition territory (the ball has moved on) and he is offside. When we do fight and get the ball back ( which we have been doing quite effectively the last few games) then he's not there as part of any counterattack, certainly not using any opposition high line to run onto, as he's off-side.
Yes, not the biggest issue but it can be fixed, as opposed to other players who cannot be fixed as how do you fix a slow runner?

This is a Forum "a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged" so not a verboten subject.

Or a Fast Show sketch - if Lew went to buy a new suit.

Getting very off topic here, but I saw Paul Whitehouse with Gillian Anderson on Parkinson, reruns are on BBC4 and iplayer - absolute tears of laughter when he mentioned the “rabbit”…to be fair she kept her cool…

Quoted from rancido
Obviously much has been made of our defensive frailties and decision making , justifiably so. But if you listen to DA's post match interview he said he would be addressing the defensive situation in the next 2 to 3 weeks.


I took that to mean signings rather than some magic coaching

Disappointing to score five and not win, but I can't remember reading a just back thread with the words 'entertained' or 'entertainment' used so frequently.

If we can keep that up, but also translate strong performances into results, I for one will be very happy.

This is what we like to see...happy happy happy happy talk....










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Should never have let Stuart Brace and Dave Worthington go to Southend. We were relegated the following season.
