IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER
 
Or to put it another way.............
 
GOING UP!
 
How delicious was Saturday night?

In the satisfaction stakes that was right up there with:
- getting a window seat on a bus next to a spunk (pick your own gender).
- returning home from the fish 'n' chip shop to discover they've given you an extra potato cake by accident.
- copping ten green lights in a row and a free parking spot right out the front of where you wanna go.
- finding a completely vacant cash register at a supermarket check out when you've got a trolley full of groceries.
or....
- getting stuck in an elevator with Richard Wilkins whilst holding a baseball bat.
 
It was just that damn good!
 
For a club in (quote) DISARRAY (unquote) we sure looked very ARRAY!
 
Incredibly, the fanfare for such a magnificent victory was miniscule compared to the sanctimonious codswallop of the week before.
'Disarray' is apparently a week to week proposition these days.
Not even the Tour de France could keep peddling THAT line given the Mighty Pies showing on Satdee night.
 
But the job ain't finished yet.
I've never met Laurel but, for Buck's sake, don't be resting on her this weekend Woodsmen.
The glass isn't half full, it's just a very big glass.
The lads need to make Fridee night, dare I say it, happy hour and pour ourselves a final eight victory.
 
Coz if a club IS in 'disarray' it surely is Port.
 
So don't blow it Pies!!!!!!!!!
 
With admin finally taking a stand against the rat pack (and rightly so!) let's hope we can show those Olympic rowers exactly how to get a boat back on course properly.
 
Ordinarily common sense would tell me to temper my enthusiasm with the Pies having won just one of their last four and with so many players 'unavailable'.......................but I have developed such a man crush for big John Anthony that my long standing relationship with Beyonce Cloke is now in jeopardy.
 
As if having those two running round inside the forward 50 isn't enough.
Now Hiney goes and finds another keeper!
This Dawes kid looks the biz...........apart from the long sleeved jumper.
 
And then there's this year's Copeland Trophy winner - the Seven from Heaven - Mr Pablo Medhurst.
 
Dear Spudsters, you can see my dilemma.
It's very hard to allow common sense to cloud your thoughts when the future looks so exciting.
And the future is NOW!
 
Now, what floor do you want Mr Wilkins?
Mr Wilkins?
Richard?
Strange place to take a nap!
