Smile Dickens Novel ?
It appears that we Stanley fans are in the middle of a Dickens Novel again this year. Can you guess which one?

Here's a clue or three!

The Ghost of Christmas Past ...... Eric Whalley
The Ghost Of Christmas Present ...... David O'Niel
The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come ..... Ilyas Khan
Bob Cratchett ....... Rob Heys

Can you think of any other characters from our motley crew?

Merry Christmas one and all.

Upon reflection, perhaps 'A Muppets Christmas Carol' would be more appropriate lol.

Re: Dickens Novel ?
I'm not sure Dickens is right. At times this season it seems more like we're stuck in some Kafka nightmare (referring to the behaviour of the Club, not the team).

Kafka's the Trial maybe. Who would you put on trial though. Spoilt for choice it would seem.

Re: Dickens Novel ?
Had to find out. Sorry Wyn lol

Franz Kafka (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁants ˈkafka]; 3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was one of the most influential German-language novelists of the 20th century, whose works are now regarded existential classics; and among the highest achievements of world literature

So now we know.

That figures...there's a lot of existentialists on the Clayton End. I often see that Dostoevsky and Nietzsche queueing for pie and peas.

The voiced uvular fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ʁ, a rotated small uppercase letter...so now you know, Mick.

Search me, mate. It's about as clear as one of O'Neill's pronouncements on the ownership issue.
