Patrick,

your article today seems as though you have run out of steam regarding the Pratt issue? Quoting from some question time 6 months ago demonstrates that you have run out of material. Other than the moral highground, which is questionable in itself, do you have any other material or evidence that will be released in upcoming articles to demonstrate that clearly shows that Pratt should be removed from his presidency?

Your stand has not divided the football community because nobody is listening to you or particularly cares. Whether this is right or wrong, a billionaire pouring money into football seems to surpass the businessman who fixed prices for cardboard boxes...People do not relate that they may pay more for groceries because boxes cost more. The public see Coles and Woolworths doing this regardless.

Hence your constant bashing of Pratt is falling on more and more deaf ears. Let it go, write something that joe bloggs of the football public is interested in---

Why write an open letter then? You are listening and you care enough to write an open letter to him.

good point, but it is from a culmination of all his BS...not this article particularly...so the slate is wiped clean with this message. No more Patty for breakfast

Has he written about us again? Geez, it's getting a bit much don't you think.

Obsession anyone?

Surely a waste of paper? newspaper payrolls?

On the radio a few weeks back they said he'd written I think 4 or 5 negative articles about us in recent times, maybe it's about time someone exposed this bozo's obsession with our club??

I used to be the one who made you feel so safe and strong
I could always make it right when everything was going wrong
I don't know why it seems no different now I'm on my own
And I don't know what it is that scares me when I'm all alone

I can't believe that everyone I know would lie to me
When they all tell me that I'm not the man I used to be
Don't want to hear about the things that I already know
You've got to say it isn't so, oh no, it's the...

The ghost of you that gets me every time (my obsession)
just won't let go until it brings me down (my obsession)
I try to hide it but there's only one (my obsession)
and my obsession is you
the little things you used to do and say (my obsession)
break every moment of my night and day (my obsession)
believe me darling oh you know it's true (my obsession)
and my obsession is you

Yeah, my friends all turn away
They tell me not to waste my time
They say they just don't understand
How anyone could be so blind
And there's one thing you can't change
Forget about her now you know she's gone
Hey boy, that girl is just no good
She's only gonna do you harm

So I watch the hours turn
Until I lose the last long ray of light
And I know I can't pretend
Those shadows won't come out tonight

I can't believe that everyone I know would lie to me
When they all tell me that I'm not the man I used to be
Don't want to hear about the things that I already know
You've got to say it isn't so, oh no, it's the...

The ghost of you that gets me every time (my obsession)
just won't let go until it brings me down (my obsession)
I try to hide it but there's only one (my obsession)
and my obsession is you
the little things you used to do and say (my obsession)
break every moment of my night and day (my obsession)
believe me darling oh you know it's true (my obsession)
and my obsession is you
The ghost of you that gets me every time (my obsession)
just won't let go until it brings me down (my obsession)
I try to hide it but there's only one (my obsession)
and my obsession is you (my obsession is you)
the little things you used to do and say (my obsession is you)
break every moment of my night and day (my obsession is you)
believe me darling oh you know it's true (my obsession is you)
and my obsession is you yeah, you yeah
The ghost of you that gets me every time (My obsession)
Just won't let go until it brings me down (My obsession)
I try to hide it but there's only one (My obsession)
and my obsession is you

Everyone is better than Patrick Smith.

Patrick won't be able to translate that message as it's too politically correct. It needs to be something like this:

Dear Ignoramus,

I noticed that your articles recently tend to go on and on about The Price Fixer and Sychophants. I've counted at least 4 in the last month.

Someone would think Ignoramus was becoming Transgendered with what we could call The Love Affair with the Sycophants.

The Explicit Few, who read The Arsetralian (the newspaper who employs you), might have issues with constantly seeing The Love Affair appear in your Transgendered column.

As much as The Price Fixer might be besotted with Ignoramus' Love Affair with him and the Sycophants, I'm sure he'd be quite happy for Ignoramus to write about something else, so as not to upset The Explicit Few and turn them into The Microscopic Few.

Sincerely,

Normal Human
