Not swallowed in the sea
The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to d all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Valyrian Steel, Felipejack, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Kung_Fu_Zizou
This week’s threads were largely a reminder of how far we’ve come and what we’ve been through. There’s been a lot of nostalgia. We’ve had an underwhelming season after an overwhelming one but we’ve always witnessed 16 years of crazy ups and downs. We should take a moment to appreciate it.
It’s unlikely we’re gonna have it that good again in our lifetime. It wasn’t about buying the best players from every club. Our rivals have always had great players but in the end we’ve been the last man standing.
There’s a lot of reactionary stuff that goes on in matchday threads and spills over to the rest of the season and beyond. You’d think we support some random small team or Man United who are a shambles but it’s because we always want more and that’s the nature of the club as well.. The long and short of it.. Don’t forget to enjoy it all!
“You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me
And that’s what made me see where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself, you can only blame me”
“And I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well, that’s where I belong and you belong with me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found or swallowed in the sea
You put me on the line and hung me out to dry
And darling that’s when I decided to go see you
You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes
Made me realize what I could not see”
“And I could write a book
The one they’ll say that shook the world and then it took
It took it back from me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you’ll come back to me, not swallowed in the sea
Well, I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well, that’s where I belong and you belong with me
The streets you’re walking on, a thousand houses long
Well, that’s where I belong and you belong with me”
“Oh, what good is it to live with nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive, not loving all you see
All the streets you’re walking on, a thousand houses long
Well that’s where I belong and you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea”
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.. Our most wonderful players had a difficult start.
Nobody on this thread barring R9, won the league in their first season. Things were said about them. Things will be said about those who come after them. They left an indelible mark on the history of our beloved club. Those who come after will once again bring the illusion to life.”
