A Collection of Haiku

Talking about Haikus in the office, so I dredged some of mine out which I tweeted a while back :-

When I blow my nose
The droning sound carries far

No doubt if Jack Charlton was still manager of The Republic of Ireland, they'd get a game.

Leed Us Not Into Temptation, but Deliver us from Evil

Best performance I've seen at the Lane for ages.  It has inspired me to blog again and given me hope.  Maybe even enough to renew my season ticket.

We went to town on the dirty Leeds and bar their one clear-cut chance could have gone in four up at half time.  Clearly, that kind of performance usually signals a second half collapse, but it wasn't to be.  More of the same resulted in the joy of an own goal (always more of a sickener and more of a delight - remember Des Walked for us against Forest?)

I heard one story of someone turning up about 2:30pm for the 1pm kick off, so they would have been gutted.

Not a bad player for the blades, that I can think of.  Vokes won everything in the air.  Defence were solid apart from a couple of flaps.  Evans worked hard along with Boggy.  Quinn is starting to look like his young self.  All topped-off with a sending off which I didn't see and wasn't on TV.  A great afternoon.

To paraphrase a text from a mate many years ago:  Howard Wilkinson, Richard Whiteley, Don Revie, Harry Graition, Norman Hunter, Look North, Jack Charlton, can you hear me Jack Charlton?  Your boys took a hell of a beating!
