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

Cheltenham home 25th Oct

The return of former manager Martin Allen gave us an exciting afternoon.

Won 3-1, two of our goals coming after Gueret had been sent off and we were down to 10 men.

At one point Allen was seen man-handling one of is own player back on to the pitch - clearly not accepting that the guy was injured. The ref then directed him off again.

It later transpired - so it was reported via the Moocamp - that this player had a broken wrist!

Allen contributed some things to the Dons in his season here (Winkelman says in the matchday programme that he gave us the determination to win), but I'm really glad he's gone. He was and is a bully.
