Mr In Between

Recommended Posts

Its not often I post on here but I was inspired by Steve Wilson in today?s match preview on the BBC Website who has really nailed Coyle?s character and come up with a name that sums him up ....

?Coyle himself has not had to deal with that much stick from the fans and, as far as we can tell, retains the support of his chairman. He is an extremely affable and optimistic guy who, in the words of the old Bing Crosby number, never misses a chance to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. The danger is that if this continues he will soon be Mr In-Between - jobs that is. ?

This got me thinking.......

You can imagine him at the pulpit

Gather 'round me, everybody

Gather 'round me while I'm preachin'

Feel a sermon comin' on me

The topic will be sin and that's what I'm ag'in'

If you wanna hear my story

The settle back and just sit tight

While I start reviewin'

The attitude of doin' right

 

?????. And then launching into a slightly amended version of the Bing Crosby Classic ?.

 

You've got to accentuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mister In-Between

 

You've got to sell Cahill for the maximum

Play Kevin Davies for the minimum

Have faith or Relegations

Liable to ruin Eddie?s Dream

 

To illustrate my last remark

One win at home, no plan B, cohesion or even a Spark

What did they do just when everything looked so dark?

 

 

(Man, they said "We'd better accentuate the positive")

("Eliminate the negative")

("And latch on to the affirmative")

Don't mess with Mister In-Between (No!)

Don't mess with Mister In-Between

 

(Ya got to talk up the opposition to the maximum)

(Criticise Paul Robinson to the minimum)

(Have faith or Gary Megson?s)

(Liable to make my record look obscene)

 

You got to ac (yes, yes) -cent-tchu-ate the positive

Eliminate (yes, yes) the negative

and latch (yes, yes) on to the affirmative

don?t mess with Mister In-Between

No, don't mess with Mister In-Between

Perhaps others can add some of Owen Coyle?s choice accentuated Positives ?. And remember we remain unbeaten in 2012 and we did draw 1-1 with Chelsea in the second half earlier this season.
