The longer it takes the more the pressure on him (and the team) will build. He will bag a brace against Stoke and the supporters will go wild!

johnh Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Telegraph cryptic crossword today. Clue: International player, half-hearted reserve at end of season. Was just about to write 'Rooney' but it didn't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to write 'Rooney' but it didn't fit. Springbok I'm thinking, though I'm struggling to work out how "half-hearted reserve" = bok.

You got it Mike, to reserve is to book, half hearted is only one O instead of two Os in the heart of the word = bok, on the end of the season which is spring. But I'm sure you knew that, good one.

johnh Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Bill, when we do the Telegraph cryptic, her indoors is far better than me on the cryptic clues but I, quite often, can see the anagrams very quickly.

Must be something to do with that weird part of the brain. Probably due to me being dropped as a baby! That was my starting point really John, spotting them I found quite easy, even more so when you get a handle on the "indicators" which there must always be in a properly constructed puzzle.

markjazzbassist Posted July 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm becoming more excited about Rooney by the day. I just have a good feeling about him giving his all. i didn't want him here and wasn't excited but to be honest Rooney Fever has gotten to even me. I"m optimistic about it. 10+ goals and i'll be happy. I think Koeman is the right manager to get the best out of him. EFCGAZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm always worried about bringing in over 30s, i hope he does well but I'm hanging fire praising him til I see what he produces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I agree, Bill. He has to produce the praise. I'm more thinking that at the very least he'll give his all. That's what we as fan expect to see (also at the very least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
