Thanks Chris, I knew most of the things people said about you couldn't be true. I did think about approaching you at the BBQ but with you being so bigtime now I wasn't sure if I'd get blanked and then your entourage looked a bit intimidating so I just made do with talking to Craig Bellamy instead!

Fingers crossed for you Doug. The training reports are an interesting read. I don't see why he shouldn't get one, it's not as though Doug divulges tactics or anything, he just gives us a general insight into who may be fit, general mood between the players & how hard they have trained.

Will PM you, Doug when I get a response.

Your posts are a stalwart of this site and are always a great read. If it was up to me, I'd give you a pass right now!

DOUG IN!!


NIELD IN!!

LOL - I'm not cut out of the same cloth to be a WUM, I'm not scary enough and I cant stick to a policy that flies in the face of all common sense no matter how much I'm told...

All joking apart - Great to see you've picked up on this Chris, Doug's reports are looked forward to by so many people on this site and to loose them would be a travesty (sp?). Thanks and lets hope he gets the recognition he deserves from the club!

(plus I've heard that when he's not there he's constantly queueing up at the local post office pestering all the pensioners with some young little whipper-snapper in tow ... ;-) )

2 layers of green mesh sheeting are being put on so you can't see through it at all.
Not good so I am definitely relying on Bowen to sort something.

I've been saving this thread for my last look and that's all you come out with?

Don't worry Doug, I'm sure they've got you in mind and if they haven't, I'm sure Danny (Bingo) 'll sort you out ;-)

Doug, I have been growing a Movember moustache for prostate cancer and a depression hotline. However, I think I should divert the funds to your campaign as this is obviously more important.

agreed dazby, we need facebook groups and twitter groups (if there is such a thing) and if we must, a protest march with banners

I'm glad these 'things' were removed before I had chance to look at them!

It Was bound to happen Doug.

No disrespect mate but your reports were making us look like a well oiled slick machine, filling everyone with optimism prior to kick off. I don’t know what was going a miss on a match Day.

Anyway it won’t all be doom and gloom you should see plenty of the ball travelling back and forwards in the air at the top of the fence.

If the reports made it sound they were a positive together team then that's great as that's what I have seen regularly. Not sure about the well oiled slick machine wording though.

On the other comment I am guessing that was an attempt at humour. Keep working on it but it must be hard in your world of gloom and doom.
