Bork getting more money than me? Sort that gooseberry fool out.

Got to keep the quality players sunshine.

[Custard]

I go missing for the day and come back to find I've argued with the manager (sorry gaffer ) and I've broken my collarbone
Scored two goals though . Seeing as I'm injured, I think I'll have a pint or two to celebrate.

[Dark Ritual]

Not had a loss in my last two games. Hopefully the boss is taking note. Not getting panicky at all.

[BTB]

I play. The team wins.

(it DOESN'T matter that we were playing Swindon, a win is a win. right??)

[Dark Ritual]

I'm with ya bro.

[jamcc]

Me too.

[Nova]

Yip.

[Red Devil]

Back in the squad and a MotM performance coupled with a goal.

Bet you wish you had two central defenders like me right Mori?
