And that's the most hyperbolic statement I've seen... well, for a while, anyway. Unless of course you only started watching this season.

Christ, I had to think about that.

We were 3-0 up for most of it. It wasn't a great performance, and the first half could have been almost any score. We put three of our chances away, they put none of theirs. The second half was a non-event from our point of view. I'd read nothing into it whatsoever.

Very different challenge than today, I suspect.

Other than Rushworth, BTA everywhere again. Kitching with more than one crucial bit of defending. We looked over-run in midfield generally, but Allen used the ball well.

They were good. No-one else has caused us anything like that sort of trouble. However, they won't do anything this season because they're calamitous at the back.

I'm glad that's finished. Three points. That's all that matters.

Bloody hell! That was very strange. From about the 15th minute, and the one that wasn't given, we were so open. Rushworth has been brilliant, and on the one occasion that he wasn't, Kitching was.

Presumably. It was a bit naughty.

I now want Lincoln to play Nice in a biscuity football bonanza.

Our start has been favourable. Our start has been exceptional. These two statements aren't mutually exclusive. Plus, nobody's making up the numbers this year; all teams are competitive at the level they are playing at. It is just a start at this stage, though, so I'm trying to keep my feet...

I know. I didn't like him, either. Though now I have no opinion on him particularly. He was very young; he's probably quite a different person now.

Bellamy was coming back off a very serious injury and so even if fully fit, was very rusty, and also stepping up a level. He also was the wrong type of player, as he wasn't a natural finisher (he found his niche at Newcastle, I think). He was a poor signing, but it wasn't down to his failings...

Belgian Cedric Roussel absolutely owned Adams and Keown that day. Take whatever analogy you like from that.

Flattered them, that score. An absolutely wonderful game of football.

He's without question the best player I've seen play for us.

The football was often expansive and entertaining, but there's always the feeling that we generally underachieved. We had some players of genuine quality, and, in Dublin an Huckerby, one of the best strike partnerships in the league. But we never finished above 11th. Yes, we were up against...

There are worse things to call you than old fashioned for that. Some are good, some are shit. Just like the men. Funny that, eh?

Then continue.

Both of the above. One of the many pleasing things about this start has been the number of goals we've had where there's been someone in the right place to batter it in from a few inches. That's coaching, and something we previously didn't;t get enough of.
