Charity Shield today

Withe 2-2 Falcao
Anyone else there ?
Yeah. It kicked off in the stadium didn't it.

I saw a Spurs fan getting kicked around like a rag doll by a group of Villa on the concourse in our end before the game. It was hideous to see and there's still twats around that glamourise football violence.

I’m miffed and jealous that in 4 months Palace have won more times at Wembley than we have in 8 appearances since the new stadium opened.

Jealousy is the weakest emotion in love and life, but perfectly acceptable when it comes to football.

Did you used to do Athena posters in the 80s Gary?

No, I had a deprived childhood, we couldn't even afford 'Tennis Girl'. Had to make do with Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper' and 'Two Minutes to Midnight'.

‘Tennis Girl’ photo was taken in Birmingham I think.

Yep, at the old Birmingham Uni courts.

Blimey Drummond that's some unwanted record. Think mines something like 5 wins, 4 defeats.

4 wins, 5 defeats. Such a shit place when you lose. Not much better as a venue when you win but at least it's been a big game so you're happy.

77 draw, 81 draw, 94 win, 96 win, 2000 win on pens and then a defeat, 2015 win and then a defeat. That's my Wembley record.

A mob of Spurs came up to the steps of our end at Wembley a couple of hours before kick off and there was a flurry of fighting. I remember I'd just left school and was amazed that somebody had enough money to throw an unopened can of beer at us.

There was a sizeable contingent of Spurs in the lower section of the Villa end that day. I didn't go downstairs at HT but a load of Spurs had come under the stands to confront the Villa fans drinking there. Apparently it was mayhem and they were seen off after a fierce battle.

We went with the Sutton Coldfield Lions club coach and there was lots of gesturing on the coach park after from people sat safely on coaches, but I didn't see any more trouble.
