"In goal they had Konstantopoulos. Didn't he used to be called Istanbul? I suppose that's nobody's business but the Turks."

"Robson, surging swiftly down their left, mesmerised Macca; Robson dived spectacularly with Macca still ringing up his bookies for the odds on a 0-0. The referee waved play on"

The Others
They were frighteningly fluid for ten minutes, then docile for half an hour. They took advantage of Town's mental feebleness rather than appearing to have the gumption to overcome a resurgent Town themselves. Nelson looked excellent in both penalty boxes and overall a team capable of beating anyone we've seen so far. They passed the ball to each other and moved quickly around too. Probably quite nice to watch as a neutral. I'd just like them to go away.

Not bad at all

That is possibly the most entertaining write up of a game I've ever seen.

Well done that man!

I love this bit:

'Nelson headed the corner into the net, but it was disallowed for being bigger and better than us, or perhaps excessive use of his manliness.'

I like a few puffs of whatever the author was smoking. it really is excellent.

I don't know if it was the same writer but I remember their equally entertaining and despairing report after the 8-1 game. Comments like "Hartlepool's cross found the unmarked Groves who made no mistake from four yards" come to mind.

Edit: yes it is the same bloke - here it is :grin:

This blokes reports are quality. A mate of mine who is an Orient fan, sent me a match report from their game last season.

IMO every team should have one.
