Another good article Dave. Captures the mood really well. I'm pleased you mention old Harry too and the inference of some heavy handedness of the stewards. I hate the fact that Tottenham think they're great. Come on Leicester!!

Yep we've turned into plucky little Villa.

Worse, we're poor little Aston Villa.

Pity hurts more.

Plucky seems to infer we put in a modicum of effort.

Aye. Swap plucky for "doomed".

They should use  it on each of the players when they are in the tunnel pre kick off.

They can do a lot of good things but they can't raise the fucking dead.

"Why did I never manage to pay myself quite that much?" probably.

Or  "I'm sure I've got a few years left in me".

The cunning Mr Fox is up there with the Bankers: rewarded with a bonus for failure. How can he milk £1.25 million out of the club per annum? Any of us could do a better job than that jerk. His boss is also loopy for paying him that amount!
