This is hilarious. It's from our local paper. I thought I'd share it with you. According to our gift of the gab manager, we're a shaken bottle of pop waiting to explode! Er....

Manager Steve Evans claims Boston United are a "shaken bottle of pop waiting to explode over League Two" ahead of tonight's trip to Southend United (7.45pm).
The Pilgrims take on the Shrimpers looking to find their first away win of the season, against Steve Tilson's men.
The omens are good because the Pilgrims registered their first away win of last season at Roots Hall after eight attempts.
Victory will see the Pilgrims close in on the top seven of the table, with Evans warning his league rivals the best is yet to come from his side.
"We are like a shaken bottle of pop," said Evans.
"Someone has unscrewed the top and it's fizzing at the sides, before it finally explodes.
"We have been doing OK in recent weeks, but it is still not at what I call our best by a long stretch.
"I have been encouraged by how it is all coming together and we are currently on a good run.
"The lads had a great result against Sc**thorpe last Saturday and I want that continue against Southend tonight."
The Pilgrims are without defender Mark Greaves, who is still struggling with a groin strain, while midfielder Chris Holland has a virus and is doubtful for inclusion, as is keeper Nathan Abbey (flu).
