I've written a ranty piece on WM for the next fanzine. Took me ages, mostly trimming it down as there was so much to rant about.
what's happening slowly but surely is that the world is being restored to its proper order. The noses had a bit of time in the sun with their league cup win and TSM becoming our manager. Now they are back to being utterly shit and penniless as they once were. The Stripey's the same thing. It was fun and games last season. We were coming out of 3 years of hell, they wanted the world to know they ran the midlands like it was some sort of fucking achievement. It's going to kill them that they can't even win the only prize they ever won by finishing above us from now on.

His joke goes something along the lines of when white men are rich they are rich forever, their children are rich, their children's children are rich etc, but when a black man is rich it's just countdown to when he's broke again. Same principle with Albion and Blues - when they're doing well we all know it's only a matter of time before they are back in the Championship playing in front of sub 15,000 crowds again.
How can getting 4 points away to Chelsea and Man. united (was nearly 6) and be one of the few teams to get something off Arsenal this season be underachieving.
