2007 Letter to Santa
Dear Santa It’s that time of year
again. When you meet the Easter Bunny at the shops you realize
it must be nearly Christmas! I’ll persist with my usual letter
but please excuse the use of crayons this year. The men in white
coats won’t allow me use any sharp objects here. The
good news is the tablets seem to |
be working! Our wishlist doesn’t change
much from year to year. Poor Stan doesn’t deserve the garbage
he’s had to endure this year, not after wearing the shirt with
such distinction when it mattered. Please make sure he gets
every euro he deserves for being thrown into the lion’s den
without a safety chair. I blame the blazers and the
players as well, they all knew what they were buying. The Fleadh
in South Africa looks a forlorn hope, any chance you could
engineer a favourable FIFA draw to help the lads out?? We’ve got
some good young talent coming through the ranks though. I see
that Wayne Henderson has taken that young ‘keeper Gromit under
his wing at Preston. Given the opportunity, that’s another good
example of how the grandfather rule can work in our favour.
Cracking save Gromit! What’s that about Rodnaldo and Del Boy
Piero too? Rumour has it they have some Irish ancestry. Dodgy,
dodgy...

Our revered Sir Arrogant has kept the
pace up well again this year, long may it last. Now that the
chosen one has been driven out of town, little Chelski look much
better in our rearview mirror! We’re no Mickey Mouse outfit you
know ! Rafa the Gaffer and Arse N’Whinger are still about, at
least their club colours have a familiar look about them. The
Drogs got their early and deserved present this year. The
Premier League and Setanta cups look very nice on their
mantlepiece this Christmas. A good run in the Champions
League would be appreciated, that |
will be a nice little earner as they
prepare to move into their new stadium. I’m a bit worried about
Keano and the pressures he’s under at the Stadium of Light.
Please keep him in the big league next year and would you ever
knock some sense into him and get him to stop building that
nuclear power station he keeps banging on abou’! I knew that
chemistry set you gave him last year was trouble. Would the
‘real’ Keano please step forward?? I visited Lansdowne Road
recently. Any chance you could help them get a shift on with the
new developments? The ‘resurfaced’ job looks a bit shabby,
sloped to one side and not much room along the wings. What’s
this about the FAI Cup at the RDS? What a fiasco. Sure the lads
were dodging the divots and the horsey doo-doohs all day! Which
reminds me, thank Rudolph again for his present last year, it
worked a treat on the roses! Sorry, must dash. The men in white
coats are coming back. I’ll watch out again for you this year as
always.
Keano or... |
Don’t forget the ‘Shoot’ annual, Keano
has ‘On the Up’ in the shops and ‘Dribbler’ (An Encyclopaedia of
Football) all sound good. Oh, Oh, here comes that warm and fuzzy
feeling. I blame the medication. I wish you and Mrs Claus a
happy and peaceful Christmas. Stay safe and mind those Ryanair
planes this time, not like last year!! Oops! Your friend in
football... |
