No, not at all. Chalk and cheese. I logged on about 9.09 am and saw your early bird post where you talked about spreading ourselves too tiny and I responded with “thinly?”. I hadn’t copied your post. So, by the time I scrolled back our respective posts were separated by the post from @mooneyman making it look as if I was responding to him.
All because I’m so bloody slow. It happens to me quite a lot. I should always copy down the post I’m commenting on.
I forgive you but that has actually made me proper laugh today! Put some money on it with a bookie that he'll break up a player's marriage and see if you strike it rich in the next 15 yrs!
My favourite typo ever, which has nothing to do with Wycombe or football but I love it so much, was in the Japan Times during the Afghan War. They reported that the Americans were abusing the Koran during interrogations with the line 'US troops filmed flushing Koreans down the toilet'
The schoolboy in me just made an unexpected appearance when I read that. I very rarely laugh out loud but that did the trick. Pathetic really. My daughter only fairly recently stopped referring to me (on occasion ) as Benny Hill.

@micra Did you mistake me for @mooneyman?
That really isn’t funny @bargepole
He does a podcast “Famous sloping pitch” or something like that

Where's the new CF we need? If Vokes gets injured again we will struggle badly. I hope MB has some irons in the fire, I really do.
His name is Richard Kone
Or Gideon Kodua
Have you been away?
I had him down as more of a wife player, but interested to see if we can use the two interchangeably to some extent
@flymofrank Are you thinking he's going to turn into the next John Terry?!
I'm hoping you meant "Wide" player as if he's a "wife player", I think our squad is going to become very divided!
Ffs 😂 I'm typing with gloves on ok!

Typical Bloomfield buying a wife player, probably his mate, attendances at staff picnics will plummet, epitomizes his management...thanks Rob.
'Gideon Kodua to score next'
I'm hoping both Kone & Kodua can contribute goals. Not sure if they are quite up to being the replacements for Vokes late in games yet though.
Personally I'm hoping we can unearth someone to actually threaten Vokes in the starting line up!
(I know. It's January, they don't grow on trees etc. etc.)
Could be worse. I once wrote a match report in the Wycombe Star that referred to us keeping a Clean Sheath.
I feel your pain - I once published a piece containing 'blocked shits'
Still can’t beat my favourite typo from the BFP’s dating page (a tinder for the pre internet age):
‘Two girls looking for guys. We just wank to have fun!’
Even got reprinted in the Midweek because someone was too lazy to get the typesetters to correct it!
Ah the Wycombe Star!
Obviously your stuff (bar that example) was brilliant, but most of it makes the current BFP offering look like Shakespeare.

And a couple of slightly crude personal favourites. My rubbish claim to fame is previously working with the person responsible for the GOAL headline.
Let’s hope your amphibious pitcher doesn’t spawn a load of pond life puns
The pitcher using both arms made me think of one of my favourite ever satirical sketches:
You’ll win nothing with kids.

I am not going to be able to keep a straight face next time I hear that Cyndi Lauper song.
Wycombe and Charlton are linked with Uche according to Sky Sports.
Surely we've got enough attackers now ?
What we need is another left back
