Re: Don't shoot the messenger!
i was quite impressed by a refreshing bit of news reporting. It was never boring and even the insults were poetic
"A treacherous pitch and crepuscular illumination to which only home eyes were accustomed? These fiendish Northerners"
I thought I was reasonably well read and literate with modicum of decasyllabic vocabulary, but what the hell is crepuscular? Beats the "Town full of cyclops" from Halifax.
I don't think the piece is particularly insulting as it is written in a sympathetic tone akin to Big sister berating her little brother for wetting the bed. It is not as insulting as many of the wet tirades we have heard this season. We have got crap floodlights and a spoon shaped pitch. Whats wrong with mushy peas anyway? Asti nowt moist down south?
Cheers Cambridge, next year we're gonna have the crappest ground in the entire Football League.
