THE DON CUP: END OF SEASON 2017/18

Post by Frosty » Wed Oct 25, 2017 5:59 am

Hi Guys and Girls,

Had a bit of a chat amongst the team during the week and we have decided to 'split' Marko's fantastic Caption Contest - The Don Cup competition out of Mike's excellent Match Previews.


This thread will remain a 'sticky' throughout the season and i will be (somehow) attempting to give Marko 'moderator' status (which is richly deserved in my opinion) to manage this thread throughout the season.


cheers Dave

I told you it was a good idea to discuss the negativity problem over a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Mick McCarthy defends his long ball tactics in the 4-0 defeat at Burton.

"Me and TC did our research and noticed the Burton defenders were dwarfed by a custard cream. Thought Garns could handle 'em. How are we supposed to know it was a giant custard cream? "

I thought that Burtons made custard creams but I've never seen a packet that could hold that. It takes the biscuit.

It only takes one bite of a Custard Cream, to bring out the Biscuit-Genie. "Your wish is my command, aaaaah!"

After baking the largest biscuit ever made, Paul and Simon were dismayed to find the 100 quid it was sold for to benefit Children in Need was thought to mean the Ipswich strikers.

Neil: Hey Rafa have you heard what's going on at Portman Road?

Rafa: Yep apparently the natives are restless and in Mick out mode. Roberto I hear that you might be Marcus Evan's choice.

Roberto: F*uk that I would sooner appear on The Voice. Walter it appears you have been shortlisted for the final 3

Walter: Yes but it looks like I'm going to miss out to my Wolves mate G&B.
