As the great man's guest must produce his good stories or songs at the evening banquet, as the platform orator exhibits his telling facts at mid-day, so the journalist lies under the stern obligation of extemporizing his lucid views, leading ideas, and nutshell truths for the breakfast table.
Cardinal J. H. Newman, Preface to The Idea of a University, 1852

Bournemouth (Johnstone Paint Trophy) home 7th Oct

A,V and I loyally turned out for a somewhat miserable evening, to watch us go out 1-0 to a team near the bottom of league 2.

RdM was clearly playing some of this second-rank players which was fine, but it is a little irritating to read in the programme his claim that he takes the competition very seriously, wants to retain the cup, and that he will play his strongest team.

These players DO need to get competitative match experience, but don't claim this is the strongest team.
