Hi playmates, Good reading over the last few days, and yes, I am very much still here, but definitely a super lurker on the digest these days. Someone mentioned BDTR - a subject not to be dwelled on too much I think. A well intentioned, but ultimately unsuccessful business venture. Just thank

Kev, This is the part of our team that I just can't fathom. The defending at times is absolutely shambolic. Okay, we have well documented deficiencies in the full back positions (although Struik works his gonads off trying to fill in at left back), but we have two international

Sorry to contradict Graham, but it was 7s 6d to get in the kop pre decimalisation and then went up to 40p. Still robbing us though d-CUR. And while I'm here - I know Alioski isn't a left back (and we need a proper one), but leave the lad alone. He works his nads off for our team

Truly, truly awful. None of them seemed to give a flying f**k, and the half time substitutions were a joke surely. None of our managers since Grayson have shown an ounce of respect for the FA Cup, and IMO that is an absolute disgrace. Back to lurkdom Rogerre On 11 Jan 2021

What a wonderful account from DRB, of the MOALM weekend - the boy could certainly tell a tale. Still to this day, one of the best weekends of my life, spoiled only by a game of football, where our beloved team was well and truly mullered - many thanks for the tactical genius on that day Sgt

Mr Pilling, may I salute you for your synopsis of the Villa v WBA game, but you missed an undeniably moment of sporting behaviour when Smith (who I get to dislike more as each week passes) tried to get Gayle sent off in the first half! Ref was truly awful - how the fuck was Gayle

I was also on a rare visit to SOTG with Bradford LUSC on Tuesday evening, and likewise was in the NW corner. I had a great seat/superb view, but as you say it all felt pretty flat for some reason. I chose to stay in the bar for the second half, where the atmosphere was considerably better!!

And your (and many others in England) "Can't be doing with" is the reason England haven't won a major trophy for 52 years and Spain have won three in the last 10 years. As the German coach of the time put it after their semi final defeat in 2008, death by a thousand passes. Simply
