I'm now thinking, after an agonising afternoon, that that was an excellent point. Nose bleed territory right now.

Win at Wimbledon and this is looking like the real quiz. Cheers

As always a good read. Loved the ‘cloak of invisibility’that Hiwula wears especially as it obscures robins view of him.

The stage was set for a final chance and it fell to the colossal Kastaneer. A sort of Jobello who’s had an extra week at wild stallion breaking school. All the raw physicality of Hulk, but the decision-making capacity of a young otter.

Got board after the first paragraph. A football blog doesnt need a get as many articulate and big words in as you can.
Id rather it be just plain English and an accurate reflection of the game. Not someone who has swallowed a dictionary trying to impress.

Just my view of course

Of course you are entitled to an opinion. But I'm sure it's not the first time you have read his blog. So you know what to expect....

Thanks for giving it a go mate. I think the official website does a decent job of the traditional match report - like you say, it's not for everyone. But variety is the spice of life and all that.

It’s fine to have your opinion of course but it’s pretty unkind to have a pop at someone who’s writing a blog for free to entertain and inform. If you don’t like it, don’t read it but no need to be nasty. I think his blog is brilliant.

My honest opinion though is that this is a watchout for you. I think it was years ago but my initial feedback was similar. There’s a happy medium somewhere and I think you get a bit carried away sometimes. Need to maintain the flow.

What the hell do I know though

When people point out someone’s poor spelling and can’t spell a couple of very small words correctly themself, I love it.

Why read his blogs if you don't like them? You know what they are going to contain. Many of us find them well written, entertaining and full of keen observation. Please keep them going Lawrence, they are the highlight of the after-match comments.

Firstly, fuck off I don’t need to explain myself to you.

Secondly, where did I say I didn’t like them? I think they are great? I’ve offered some constructive criticism and said in my opinion there’s a bit of a watch out with regard to his style.

Pretty sure he welcomes the feedback and isn’t half as butt hurt as you are...

I think it is great. I look forward to his reports which I think are funny and entertaining. Much better than the standard who did what in the 59th minute. I don't think he is trying to impress, he just has a gift for writing which I am glad he shares.
Being a bit pedantic Vincalot scored in front of the away end at Burton.

Maybe it escapes the memory because the ref had to decide if he was offside or not (when he actually was and took a goal of Aaron Martin).

He wasnt having a pop, or being nasty, he was just expressing an opinion.
An opinion he was entitled to have, just because his opinion is different to yours, there's no need for you to jump to the writers defence!
You'll be taking offence next!

I think saying someone "swallowed a dictionary" qualifies as 'having a pop', but of course this is just my opinion. I'm deeply offended.
