Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted August 5, 2006 Mr Longpenis If you deliver on this promise I think you should stay and enjoy banter with the others hereabouts. If you're joshing with us might you be a former poster - like Iain - in disguise? We await news of your future along with that of the former England manager. MPFC, I think we all know who Mr D. Long is...... Whilst I think Mr Long may be a bit over-optimistic (as usual), it certainly looks quite bad for Sir Bobby. It would be a real shame to lose him, but at least, if he does die soon, he went out with a standing ovation at his beloved Portman Road as one of his last memories. I think Phantom hit on the nail with his summary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted August 5, 2006 Aye indeed Octi, I was just havin' a bit josh with Iain. BS blew his cover on the Michael Foot thread, great new posting name for the man mind. And, yeah, I agree re Sir Bobby, the man lives and breathes football with an infectious old style passion. It'll be a shame when the day comes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted August 7, 2006 Didn't notice the S word in today's coverage which was making light of the scare and suggesting he's recovering well. Frozen face, twitching, dribble and out of control. Either a stroke or a poorly timed impersonation of the Reverend Ian Paisley in full flight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted August 20, 2006 I wish Bobby Robson a speedy recovery from his forthcoming operation.

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted August 23, 2006 Note the word 'on' rather than 'in' that says 'survivable' rather than 'limited time.' Though it's too soon to tell anything yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
