Try doing it when you're sodding freezing on that cramped Lower North ya cheeky git!

Oh and fair play to the Preston fans. Despite the amount of them acting like complete bellends, they were great during the 2 tributes.

Fair play to them during the minutes applause they were singing louder than us in the upper doug

David Squires cartoon from The Grauniad:

That last sentence sums up everything that's been said.

100% agree


 I am a little pissed that I have not seen any reference from David Platt - or has GT been erased like his time with us as a player?

Platt was at the game today.

[Dave Wall]

He walked past me on the north stand car park he's lost loads of weight    probably fitter than some of our players.

Was Jim Walker there on the touchline today?

McInally was also there today. He then had to walk up through the away fans to the Doug upper gantry which was a good effort.

[saunders_heroes]

Apparently David Platt was there as well. Anyone see him?

I'd have liked it if they'd have told us who the players were.

Yes, me too-I thought it was all a bit flat and underwhelming.  The club normally get these things right but I thought more could have been made of  yesterdays tribute.  I actually thought that the impromptu "lights on" was more effective.  I'm not sure how long that had been planned for, I only read about it on Friday.

Going back to the official tribute, I was sat opposite (DE) and struggled to make out who was who.  I worked out Ian Taylor (who was nailed on to be involved) and Spink, due mainly to his bulk.  Other than that, I couldn't tell who was who-I thought Vassell was Yorke.

[cdbearsfan]

Anyone got a picture of the players?

[Old Kodjia]

Anyone got a picture of the players?

There's a little clip on the Villa page of the newspaper that we're not allowed to mention-Shows some of the players (and Jim Walker)

Cheers, I'll have a look.
