Just to lighten the mood a little?
« on: December 29, 2010, 08:45:54 PM »
Other reasons for our current temporary demise?

I'll go for the shirt sponsor change from acorns to FxPro.

Any others? Or shall I just go to bed now?

I happen to think our terrible form can be traced back to the huge thunderstorm on the opening day. Despite the result, all I could think was 'Doomed! We're doomed!'

Playing a left back at left back and playing a right back at right back, who in their right mind would try this? No wonder were f%*?!ed

Nothing so prosaic Leeg.   It's because I lost my lucky hat.   My younger son took a number of our old shirts to give to street boys in Cuba.   In return they gave him a Fidel Castro cap which he in turn gave to me.   The first day I wore it was the day I got the text telling me those wonderful words "O'Leary gone"   It was rarely off my my head during the whole heady period of Ellis toddling off, Randy coming in, Villa on the march.   The day I lost it was the day I got the text "O'Neill gone".

If I can only find it everything will be alright.

I used to have some lucky green boxers. They fell apart during the 1999-2000 season, much like the team.

I'll willingly help you look for it, Bri.  When did you have it last...?

I mantain we always have shit seasons when we have claret shorts instead of blue in case of a clash with the white home shorts.  I'm no statistical genius, but I can recall a win or even a semi-decent season with claret shorts.  It was unusual to wear a full change at Citeh - look what good it did us...

On the day 250 years after the French capitulation at Montreal, Houllier was confirmed as manager.

We lost 4-0 at West Ham on the day in 2005 when England won the Ashes, and a future player of ours got a hat-trick. Maybe we'll sign Balotelli?
