| Colchester 1 -2 Orient Noah's View 10:20 - Sep 1 with 675 views | noah4x4 |
With apologies to original composer Michel Legrand….and all movie buffs
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Moves never ending just beginning
Rarely shooting for the goal
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning
Running rings round Weston Homes
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Ever faster towards defeat
Whilst the South Stand kept on smiling
Whilst the Orient they just cheat
It’s the circles that you find
In the windmills of Joe’s mind
Down a tunnel that you follow
To blasting from the coach
These arseholes just need sending
where the sun has never shone,
Our defence is now so leaky
in a half forgotten dream,
the ripples from a pebble
someone tosses in a stream
Cards that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Don’t you think it was a booking
and penalty instead!
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that we said?
We deserve to be unbeaten
but the ref’s no Justice Dread
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand ?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
Lloyd James and Mooney
Clarke and him, we thought once god
When you knew
that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the faithful are still faithful
and the dream is always there
All we now need is a striker
Perhaps “One shite but now alright”
No Rooney or a Mooney
Just one with guile and bite
Last week we also swirled like starlings in an autumn sky; beautiful; but going nowhere. Not advocating that we stop "playing football"; but let's have somebody on the end of our attacks....and referees/linos with more integrity. [Post edited 1 Sep 2013 10:26]

Inspired Noah.
Mooney didn't celebrate but Lisbie did - bad form!
Hear everything that you say about a striker strength 5 but who exactly could we sign.
Is Freddie Ladapo the answer?
Sanchez Watt could play a more advanced role.
I have to say that unfortunately everything was set up yesterday for Orient to win - our recent record against them, the fact that they hadn't won at Colchester for scores of years, the fact that 5 straight wins is their best ever start etc etc.
We just have to go and win at Valley Parade.
Up the U's

The O's look like a club that wants a sniff of the Championship, that's clear.
No shame in this defeat. Onward and upward The U's ∑=) |  |

Wondrous stuff Noah - no apologies necessary for Mr Legrand!
How very clever and I still felt like I had been there too.
We are a new side and JD a new manager. It's great that folk are liking his football but clearly and predictably there is a gulf between us and the better teams. Orient had also played midweek - we hadn't.
We've already been hammered once this season and I suspect we are due one away from home too before long - at Bradford possibly. But I am realistic about what we are becoming and hopeful that this will result in a team that does have a decent season without the angst of last.
Clearly demonstrated by the fact that we have played 6 and scored 6 no progress on last year is yet evident in terms of goalscoring. How we miss a Cureton/Lisbie/McGleish none of whom did I feel we valued enough to hang on to. But hopefully this young group will grow and this will be a platform for next year or thereafter. We are now 7 points off the bottom and already 7 off top which is mid table. I for one will settle for that until we prove we are grown up enough to compete more with the Wolves/Peterborough/Os.
Up those U's |  |

To be fair to Kevin Lisbie, I think he would have been slated having scored right in front of a large contingent of his "own" supporters had he not acknowledged the goal in some way - which was merely a run to them and an uppercut salute.
Not to be compared in my book by those who have played for a club and then run some considerable distance to their "new" fans and make a big fuss of kissing their badge. |  | | |

Frankly; can't keep saying same thing in the same way every week.
But assure all this won't become a new Arts Channel; and that any poetry you might read in local pub lavvys is NOT mine.
Am overseas for Coventry and Bradford; so will somebody else have a go at doing areport?
Thanks | | | |

Windmills of your mind.
Written by French composer Michel Legrand and featured in the Steve McQueen thriller The Thomas Crown Affair (Oscar; best song in 1968).
Noel Harrison - Singer - Died today aged 79
Feel that having used his song as the backbone for my Orient report; and having failed to acknowledge his contribution; Noel Harrison's memory should be recorded in perpetuity in here. RIP. | | | |
