Didn't tell me mum what time I'd be back that day, either: nawty

Nothing Nige hasn't tried before (never did him any harm)

Nor me. I've gone in the home end (or side, in fact) at Walsall though. Without asking, too.

Our midfield?

A road map might be quick/easier?

You're perhaps past that kind of shenanigans now, if I may be so bold

Dave, surely it's : Cook, the Thief (Ashton) his wife and Lover Johnson (two-fingered end)?

No. Where's that?

Might make posting on here easier

They told us they took 3,000?

How quaint! Ever tried steaming in the home end? Or buying tickets in the home end. "They wouldn't allow us!"

Er, we need the cash, don't forget. So a replay, and then another replay it is (like Cambridge /Aldershoot)!

Swindon aren’t a massive draw and you're getting about 8,000 a week to watch yerselves. Where were the other 6,000 today, then?

Rovers love going there. They get quite excited. I think it's an opportunity for them to feel "big," to feel like big boys with the safety in numbers of 2k, a chance to puff their chests out and congratulate themselves on their "massive" following. And not get (much) of a kicking/maybe give a few locals a kicking, should numbers be in their favour. Perhaps being kind you might call it "enthusiasm," something we ran out of years ago, certainly for trips to places like Walsall /the West Midlands.

Oh yes. If they were 90 minutes away.

What you trying to say about L2 clubs?

Grease our Palmers, Mr Mel

1500 × 30 = Kasey's wages for this fortnight. Cheers Derby.

Not if goes back the scenic route; the M4/A34/M27 maybe ....

Give him a chance. We can't all cycle home in ten minutes

Good win. On yer Big Day Out.

I'm happy this evening

Pet hate : "ignorant people" is the one I always remember.

It's not about that, it's nothing to do with fighting, or idiots, it's nothing to do with Hillsbrough and the togetherness from that, it's about being usurped on the field and no longer being what your club used to be, and not being able to let go of the idea that Everton are best, nothing but the best, and not being able or prepared to see their club for what they are now even while they're spending hundreds of millions, which is some way short of "equal." And the peculiar bitterness that stems from this. Everton fans, I don't doubt, impressed upon you how "equal" they are. Like I say, they still cannot accept the reality - a reality that repeats year upon year. They think they should be doing much better than they are. But why? They don't even get near Liverpool in derby games never mind over a full season - it’s one of the more lopsided cross city derbies in the country. We're more likely to struggle v Rovers than Liverpool v Everton. Everton fans might not be the angriest but they are the angriest/bitterest. An angry bitterness that consumes them like no other fanbase. Because of how far they've fallen whilst Liverpool simultaneously have soared. As Merrick was saying. Everton are now mediocre PL fodder, having been English football royalty. While Liverpool are global giants. This is a unique about-turn in cross-city fortunes and a unique bitterness is the result.
