Still sniggering away. Like the Villa performance on Saturday, Dave, one of your best.

Great article, good to be upbeat for a change.

Good times for a change.

Thought ruminations on our last midfield hat-trick hero might get a mention. Was it Platt and if so where's DeanosMullet with the footage?

Fake news. Can't trust anyone these days.

Post by: ez on August 22, 2017, 06:12:53 PM: I didn't know Bruce said the supporters have unrealistic expectations. Does that mean promotion is unrealistic, and what does he think of Tony's champions league ambitions?
