Lovely. More rambling than most Motown songs, but it really fits the mood of the tune.
Gorgeous. Thanks.
Generally, I agree that Marvin breaking free of the factory mode was the high point Motown, creatively and musically. Simply sublime music and sentiments.
A fine article. Been thinking a lot these last few weeks and months about our club’s direction. I like the adoption of some modern advancements. Huge fan. But they are only a tool, and they have to be allied with traditional footballing qualities like balls, bollix and bite.
Otherwise us being high up the Justice League will be no consolation while we slip down the only League that matters.
Think I might have posted this before, but sure have another blast at it. It's 'Chaura Panchashika', Kashmiri in origin, thousands of years old. I first came across it in Steinbeck's 'Cannery Row'. Fifty verses, so just a taster.
“Even now She is art-magically present to my soul, And that one word of strange heart’s ease, goodbye. That in the night, in loth moving to go, And bending over to a golden mouth, I said softly to the turned away Tenderly tired hair of this king’s daughter.
Even now, I mind our going, full of bewilderment As who should walk from sleep into great light, Along the running of the winter river, A dying sun on the cool hurrying tide. No more by green rushes delayed in dalliance, With a clear purpose in his flower flecked length Informed, to reach Nirvana and the sea.
Even now I love long black eyes that caress like silk, Ever and ever sad and laughing eyes, Whose lids make such sweet shadow when they close It seems another beautiful look of hers. I love a fresh mouth, ah, a scented mouth, And curving hair, subtle as a smoke, And light fingers, and laughter of green gems.
Even now I remember that you made answer very softly, We being one soul, your hand on my hair, The burning memory rounding your near lips: I have seen the priestesses of Rati make love at moon fall And then in a carpeted hall with a bright gold lamp Lie down carelessly anywhere to sleep.”
"That might have been what was intended, but Madsen was very rarely along side Field in a two man central midfield. Either it was deliberate to have him pushed on or he is a lazy bugger and doesn’t get back."
Just reading your posts, Hunter and I agree with you on the spaces between our lines. just posted the same.
I also agree with you on Madsen. He was not playing beside Field.
Last year we played a textbook Cryuffian 433 in possession, a 4231 out of possession.
We could always see the 8 drop quickly back beside Field, and Field move right to accommodate him.
This year, we've tweaked it, with Paal moving into midfield in possession, but the main change is that the 8 (Madsen) plays the same position in possession butis not getting back as often or as quick out of possession.
As you say, whether that's intended or it's on Madsen, we can't know. I suspect we'll know once Colback is fit again.
One way or the other, again as you say, if the lines are closer together then even when we lose the ball we should be able to recover it quicker, and we shouldn't be so open to the counter, cutting out the spaces between our lines and giving them only the ball over the top which Nardi deals with.
Positives - We played some nice football at high pace. We created a lot of chances. We worked the ball through midfield a lot better. The press was much better. And I think we worked hard.
Negatives - Santos was being roasted by Millar and should have been replaced, not enough aggression again. Positioning of our 8 and 10 needs to be looked at. Game fell apart as soon as the subs started coming on.
I thought the biggest factor in us losing last night was that our lines were too far apart. When we attacked, the back line didn't move up quick enough. As a result, when we lost possession we were stretched out and there were oceans of space for Hull to ping balls into, bypassing our midfield with ease, and leaving Santos isolated. They were very good on the counter, but mostly because we gave them space to be very good.
It was a serious, serious block - managed to cut out the cut-back with his right leg and would have stopped the cross with his left had it happened. Don't think I've ever seen that before.
Took a long pause after the whistle, gathered himself, hammered it right-footed into the top left. Keeper went the right way, but there was no stopping that.
