Good article, especially re Alzheimer's.

Agreed, very succinctly (and starkly) put.

Not so sure on the 89/90-aping run though. 14 more wins would surely have us comfortably in the play-offs (even if it's the mootest of points).

If we can get 42 points from our last 13 games we deserve to win the league, World Cup, The National and World Toddlywinks.

Ha, just spotted that. I did think you or Dave would be in to make the point. 39 points might still be enough mind...

It would be 14 if we include Derby! Depressing to think we've made such a mess of this season that even ending with 14 straight wins may not be enough to make the play-offs.

Another good read Dave.

Well written Dave. Didn't a lot of the 57 Cup final team end up with dementia ?  Would be a great gesture if clubs donated money to help with research, fat chance of that I guess.

Didn't much like what McNeill brought to ( took from ) the Villa, but I wouldn't wish Dementia on anyone.
Maybe too much ball-heading a la Astle ? Or banging his head against the wall at BMH?

Just reading today ex Liverpool player Tommy Smith is suffering from alzheimers, very sad.
