| WYCOMBE'S NUMBER ONE FANZINE RETURNS ON THE NET... | |
Firstly the players. The team appear to have been closely observing the French national team over the last few months. Bulman is Deschamps - all hustle and bustle minus the shite hairdo. Harkin has metamorphised from a 21 year-old 'potential Marlow player' into a wannabe Zidane. McSporran, in pre-season at least, emulated Thierry Henry while McCarthy is 'the white Desailly' - grebo beard and gut OUT and slimline athletic figure and ball winner IN. Am I getting carried away? I think not. Anyone who has witnessed the movement amongst the players in the first few games can not fail to be impressed. The midfield is unrecognisable from the sorry sham that finished bottom of the OPTA pasing league last term. Simpson, Bulman and Brown are weaving such a silky tapestry throughout the midfield, that a schoolchild would consider the 'Bayeaux' variety to be something knocked up by a blind old pensioner. Do you get my drift?......total football is now on pay-per-view at Adams Park - just ask those oafs at Oxford. And what's this? A quality bench....even without the injured Devine, Emblen, Ryan and Carroll! We've got 'the porn star' Stuart Castledine who is fast becoming a cult, 'Elvis' Senda - a whippet on a crack pipe, and even Andy Baird, who looks more like an extra from 'Trainspotting' by the week. Not that I'm suggesting he uses the 'brown stuff' of course, he's far too alert for that. I do, however, wonder if he knows that he was born in East Kilbride within half a mile of Jesus and Mary Chain's brothers Jim and William Reid - 'Some (c)Andy talking' indeed. So what are the other positive points. Well I have to say that Chris Vinnicombe has been an absolute legend so far and should deservedly be the winner of September's Player of the Month if he keeps up recent form - even Micky Bell didn't appear to have that much stamina. Whats more, he's won several style points having ditched the tash and the rope gold of last season - that's right Vinny you're down south now boy! Credit also to 'Buck' Rogers (bidi, bidi, bidi). Our Gil Gerard look/sound-alike has managed to get a call up by Canada as well as making the right-back position his own. Just one word of advice Mark, just because we've got comanche as a mascot, it doesn't mean that you can walk around smoking Canadian peace-pipes like you did back home. Leave that to those dangerous Rockers you love like Bryan Adams and Whitesnake......and don't grow any poodle locks either. So there we have it - despite the three losses on the spin - the vibe is good around the ground and the players are clearly together on the pitch. With Sean Devine back in a couple of months we're looking well worth that early season punt, as I've yet to see any team that are capable of storming this league. Sanchez is working miracles and hoofball has (please god) disappeared once and for all. C'est magnifique! Jon Dickinson Back to TAF Index >>> |
