Thanks Dave, I really enjoyed this.

Your take it or leave it style resonates. Cracking stuff!


The, ‘midweek journey to a far-off foreign lad’ was a bit of a surprise, though.

That bit about us being a soft touch for too long resonates.
But not anymore.

I particularly agree with the soft touch comment. For too long we have been “nice”. Well fuck that. I don’t want us to be unsporting like Arsenal over many years, or a number of the other successful sides. But I don’t want to take shit from anyone ever again. Many of us have for the better part of 2 decades seen us just be someone else’s whipping boy. So fuck all of them. We are back and we intend to stay here.
