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.

Think its the fans who will get stuffed insted of the goose:D
 
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).
 
There you guys go raising the intellectual level of the post, now I'm going to have to Google kafta to fond out what on earth you're on about lol.


Thanks :-)
 
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.

Quite right, Bernard, as I once overheard young Albert say whilst buying a lager from the drinks hut: "All that I know surely about morality and the obligations of man, I owe to football." ;)

I don't suppose there's been that many existentialist footballers.Although what about Eric Cantona. When he was going on about those seagulls.
 
Our CEO seems to have a few existentialist traits judging by his latest pronouncement on the January transfer window: "It’s an interesting question as who decides if the price is right, who decides whether to sell and who sorts out the deal? Is it the major shareholder, the managing director, the manager, the chairman or the chief executive?"

Now that's the sort of philosophical conumdrum that's confound Satre himself! ;)
 
Gentlemen, thank you all so much for your contributions to this rather tounge in cheek thread. Your meanderings have had me in stitches, for once it has been a pleasure to see a thread hijacked.

Now where did I put my scotch?
