Sometimes there are footie things I posted here and tacked onto other threads, often match threads, but knew they didn't really belong there, (and others pointed that out more than once!) as they weren't connected with the thread, but I couldn't see where else to post them as they weren't big enough to open as a separate thread,. 

But using a general football thread gives orphan posts from me and everyone else a home!

So kicking off, some fool here said it was suspicious we have run short of money. Oh. Actually, it was me. Since then I read an article online about another club who ran into massive money problems due to the massive increase in fuel bills, £10,000+ higher fuel bills than scheduled for, and unexpectedly higher bills in general. I know we started the season with a carefully calculated budget, but these price increases will have been unforeseeable, so hats off to our board for navigating these unexpected financial demands. 

Secondly, there is a great film called Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, 17 cameras filming Zidane playing a game. It shows how he is always looking around, seeing where the players are, so when he gets the ball he already has the vision of what to do, whereas average players don't have that vision, so don't already know what to do when the ball reaches them.

There is a similar film of George Best, 8 camera on him in a 1970 match against Coventry. There IS a Welling connection here, George Best played at PVR in a Charlton player testimonial. The film is worth a watch, first half he is disappointing, walking around, watching the game, not really involved. But the second half is better, he must have been told at half time to be more involved, and he scores a great goal, and then assists Bobby Charlton for a goal  (it isn't clear if Charlton scored from a rebound from a Best shot, or if Best passed directly to Charlton). And you see his hard tackles, and the tackles he got, and his sprinting speed, and whether he wore shins pads (I was surprised), great passes, bad passes, so it shows the best and worst of him, the real match player, in a way highlights don't show, quiet game - apart from scoring a great goal and creating another goal.

This thread can now be the home for the transcript of Jamison's drunken talk with Dowse! Honestly, just wait til you read what he said to him!
