It's my birthday today

I didn't get the 3 points that I wanted.
Parky is like a night watch man who's gone into bat, late on the 4th day and is still there on the last day. The batting team is chasing a total that can be achieved, the problem is the night watch man can't bat and the longer he stays there, the bigger the problem becomes. As the batting team you don't want to lose a wicket, but sometimes you have to, just to get the run rate back on target. Parky step on your wicket.
I don't blame Parky, I blame the selectors who haven't learnt anything when they were in the same position 2 years ago.
How comes nearly every other teams brings in a new man (caretaker or not) and their results change for the better, ie Sunderland, Spurs & Blackburn. At the moment Parky is making Les Reed's tender look good. For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. Our club is in it's sick bed and we need someone to nurse it.

I will get a season ticket next year, have done so since our days at sellout park.
Taking the dog out for a walk and I'll have a couple of guinness later in the day.
