Dude, a little less water please.
Be a bit less like water. It was just an example to help the broken, poor and ferrel. Were we not supposed to flood the pitches and make it like a swim meet. It was a haunting idea about sensing a stimulus moving away like a ripple on a pond or spreading out on offence. Then choosing a response commiserate with the stimulus or choosing the higher ground and allowing the chokehold to pass without a sanction from our annointed omnipresent overlord. No drama well lots but not ours.
The winter is a good time for reflection a thought about the spring. Still air, clear skies and brisk mornings. Today it warm and moist that reads icky sorry. Today is calm with low clouds and high pressure it could be more shite weather or a fine winter day Palmy will decide.
We decide how our pitch will perform if we show up giddy with bells on happy for a run around. That sounds like us easy, peaceful to have such a good set of blokes to kick a ball with. Short passes don’t fail us, play the way you face and shout out if all the time is there. Bottle desire and leave hope for those who don’t want to run. Work for each other ripple out on attack, collapse in defence and get talking.
We may not recognise each other if we don’t get a game for four weeks so everyone should come out to my annual office hours.
