Dave you'll do well to keep these articles coming as the games come thick and fast.

Another excellent read.

I think the bloke behind you can not and will not read anything unless he's written it himself.

Great article, very true about the defence partnership. They look very promising and the mistake was a lack of communication from two players who are getting to know each other. Hopefully very different to the weekly mistakes from the last five years or so.

I hate sitting by people like that, they want everyone to hear them and they think they're hilarious.

Mind you, one chap towards the back of the Holte in K3 was so drunk, he was carried out whilst fast sleep by about 4 stewards.

During the very early seventies  we had a bloke a few feet below us on the Holte who regaled
everyone with a series of imaginary conversations between Andy Lochhead and Vic Crowe.It was usually the high point of the match!

Good read Dave

I remember a H&V article of stereotypical Villa fans a few years back - was that bloke the real Bronx Hat Bob (or Bill)?

Have you ever turned round and said anything. No, me neither. I once turned round and gave a withering look, didn't make any difference.

Great article as usual.
