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

Crewe away, 18th Oct

A is away to uni, so it was just V & me. Travelled up on the train early and met with R, who took us to his house, then for a pub lunch. R has a wonderful house in the countryside.

Crewe struggling near the bottom of the league so we went in thinking it should be ours, and when we got an early goal it looked promising. But when theu equalised Crewe rallied and went in 2-1 up at half time. Meanwhile we hear that Liverpool are also losing 2-1 (to Wigan) at half time.

The dons equalise near the end, while Liverpool win 3-2. Crewe played better than their position in the league might suggest, though it was based very much on their tall strikers and 'the long ball'.
