Nice to see a youthful Stretch Armstrong in claret and blue.

I'm not getting that Instagram video of the Morrison tripping the fan, has it been taken down?

I was thinking that too. Is it some kind of camera trick? Those arms belong to someone at least twice his age!

He could scratch his ankles without bending over the child that is.  Lawrenson is just a sarcastic knob.

Thanks for that cdward.  looking at it  from that angle; anyone can see that the supporters are in the main all heading towards the Holte with little or no threat to any Albion player.

It was in every way a momentous game.   When it was over my younger son turned to me and said.  "Let's go on the pitch.   Thirty years I have been coming here and I have never been on the pitch".   I considered his position as a husband, a father, a multi millionaire television producer, a chairman of a board of school governors, a Labour councillor and an applicant for £10million of Department of Education money to save his local primary school and replied "okay".   It was that kind of day.  The only blemish on this piece of family history was that while he hurdled the perimeter wall, I fell arse over tip and had to be helped to my feet by some of the multitude of "hooligans".

It's gone from the Meaning Evil, but still here

Good headline.

I misread it at a glance, and thought the headline was from the Evening Mail, which genuinely made me look again because had it been the Mail, it would have read "Villa fan brutally attacks innocent players foot"

It's known as 'Converging verticals'

It's like taking a photo of tall buildings, but in reverse. Looking down at the subject rather than up
