You're watching Sky?

Yes, 10,500 you play in front of down there. In the Prem. They have only averaged 13,000 or more over a season three times in their history, and the last time they managed this was 1950. Small club, Bournemouth, but they "found a way" to get to the top with L1 support.

Sit down then, in the seats.

At work, occasionally, one would hope

Dunno. But he wasn’t a bleedin spud, spur

I liked Martin Chivers, Micky Hazzard, Ossie Ardiles. Gary Mabbutt. Pochettino. Harry Kane, I like him. Chas n Dave. You?

I loved TC, game was different then but he seemed to be a very decent man. And not just because when I wrote to him about Paul Stevens wrangling over a new contract he wrote back saying (pretty much), "don't worry, I've got this." And responded with hand written letters of reassurance on embossed club note paper to other anxieties and naive nonsense I peppered him with. I've still got some of his letters, I wonder of he kept mine?

Football makes morons of us all, well, most of us.

Can you be a "bit" marmite? I wouldn't say I was in the know like yer @kid in his riot van about these things, but surely marmite "doesn't work like that (mate)," does it?

That's one type of atmosphere, not "atmosphere" end of. At the recent World Cup, free of alcohol and "groups of lads" drinking, a WC where women were, ironically in that country, heard to say on the radio that they felt safer and enjoyed watching football far more (because of the absence of "groups of young lads" drinking and the inevitable resulting toxic male behaviour), there was "atmosphere," plenty of it. Just a different one to the 'two sets of blokes close to each other making manual manipulator signs and saying "cmon then" across a section of empty seating' type atmosphere we're so used to at football by now. One of the problems in life in general and at football in particular over the decades is that young "lads" are prone to thinking they are the centre of the world and little else matters than what they want and what is important to them. When we play Wigan or Barnsley there's nothing to stop the groups of young lads diverting their full attention to the pitch and the football and getting fully behind the team and encouraging them come what may. But I would suggest that's not really what motivates and excites them.

John Parrot, off the telly: bitter, angry bloke.

I taught that @EnclosureSurge every bloody song/chant he ever started - well, the good/popular ones. I got loads, mate: If Mo Eisa'd been any good, I had Nat King Cole's "Mo-na Lisa" ready to go, but he was crap. I've still got high hopes for Duncan Idehen, when he breaks into the team, I got the B-52's "Private Idaho" ready to belt out: "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We're playing with our own Duncan Idehen Our own Duncan Idehen" No other **** ers are ever singing that, are they? And neither are S82/A Block .....

Britain's angriest fans, most angry/disillusioned fans. Remember, Joey Barton is an Evertonian, so these blokes start out pretty angry from before getting school, then just go along getting angrier and angrier.

Why? Because other teams sing it, so we follow what other fans sing.

50p, for 1st division football. And really quick getting out after the game. Did get wet in there, mind (when it rained).

No, no. Otib (Oldish, tired, irritable, blokes) demands to be told what exactly this protest is for, and will not give its approval unless or until more detail is forthcoming, than hitherto thus far ...

"Ultras" can. And do.

I can see it now, the lads up the Lions mob up and off they march brim full of protest and hope in their hearts, and coke in their veins, they walk on/down through the wind and the rain, and they arrive at the back of the Lansdown (after "greeting" the players). Steve leans out of a window high up in his ivory t ... er, stand: SL: "What do you want?" Mob: "Er, Pearson out." SL: "You can't demand someone out without putting forward a name to come in." Mob: "WarnockWilderDycheGerrardThatBlokeAtPlymuffCotts!"

It was a pithy comment, or an attempt at "pith," at least.

No-one can manage us. Not at this level. We are unmanageable, in this division.

Thought it was a wet, slimy thing in the sea

Steve told us not to, remember?* so we didn't. *After losing to Fulham at home, Steve was interviewed and told us off for saying "boo" and told us not to do it again, and to make our "noise" on social medias, so we said "yes, Steve. Sorry, Steve."

Yes, damp one of them as well

This squid is saturated already

I reckon this "Protest/March" will go the way of the Cornwall satellite launch overnight, and be a bit of a damp squid.
