Well said, TB. The Dogs, for want of a better term, were always bastards. Still have nightmares in September of stony-faced Folkes hatching plans behind Oakleys. Seems forever ago. What’s Cement up to?

K-Man, we are on the same wavelength! Another superb read mate. It’s almost worth the crippled economy just to see you poor buggers achieve something that isn’t the Nines or a retrial

Thank you Kman, love your feedback. I’m glad this has struck the right tone for you poor beleaguered Eels fans. As for my intimate knowledge, I would like to thank my research manager Mr. G. Oogle

KK, your prose is tremendously intoxicating, as per usual. And who amongst us hasn’t craved the smell of Thirsty Lynch’s socks? A sensory delight!

Very true Paul, you have summed up the beauty of Parramatta nicely. The thing that separates them from competitors is their range. No team can boast a wider spectrum of potential calamity
