I have no idea where this comes from originally (I am trying to find out), but – despite being outrageous – is very funny. If you don’t understand what Liverpool fans have gone through in the last few years, it will be meaningless

Ha! There’s a poet in you, Bishop Nick, without a doubt … Thanks. And soon there’ll be laughter across Bradford …

That is a gem who’d of thought such Biblical knowledge would come with such a wicked sense of humour? I normally find both things mutually exclusive. If you want my view (unlikely) the Kopites are a stiff necked people who had it coming.

Superb. Made my day.

Very true and very funny

.. And Lo the Yidish in the South were worshipping Bale and preparing to kill the fatted calf!

May the old King stride forth leading the Kopite army against their foes and smite the Devil-Worshippers that they may fall down as dead; may the silverware of the land and of many nations be restored to its rightful place in the temples of the Kopites; may some of the bounty of the new Lord be spent on goodly fighters to take their place in the mighty army of the Kopites, namely another able to strike at the heart of the enemies temples, one fleet of foot and mind to scalp the left hand side of the battleground and a mighty left sided defender to replace that hopeless pile of poo from the south of the land so that by the close of the transfer portal the Kopites may truly say ‘Right this time we are pure fuchen sorted,la.’

Brilliant. As a long suffering Sheffield United fan I understand completely.

For those rejoicing in the present demise of the koppites, it could yet get better and better. Something in the air tonight… (Fernando?)…
And lo, as I meditated on my couch, interceding for the Koppites in their Land of the Missing Defenders and Hubcaps , the word of the Lord came unto me, and thus did I read…
“Jesus asked, “Where is the number nine? (Luke17.17), and “Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or an field will receive a hundred times as much.(Matthew 19.19)….and he said to them: “My brothers, I was handed over to Roman’s team(Acts 28.17)

Try being a Leeds supporter – beyond mere despair and into bitter and twisted mode. I had concluded some time ago that Man U were a manifestation of satanic possession. You can tell by their badge. Their colours are also red white and black. Just like the Nazi Party and don’t tell me this is a coincidence.
I have heard of the Jebusites but mostly from ‘Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit’ wherein the young heroine startles her teacher and classmates one day by launching off about ‘smiting the Jebusites’

Dear Nick,
As your far distant uncle in New Zealand I have enjoyed reading your blogs,both the serious and and the humorous,but i think you excelled yourself with the latest blog.I hope[and pray]that I will still be laughing as much at the end of the season
You seem to have enjoyed the challenges and opportunities that your life in Croydon has afforded you and I trust your new appointment in Bradford will be as successful.
With much love and best wishes,
Ralph
