That was a great day. I was literally sat first row behind our dugout in the seat next to the steps they all took to get trophy. Remember shaking Carlton’s hand as he came past with him thinking he new me, which he didn’t.

Prague wasn’t full either, but we still had 30,000 outside and many had to pay £14/1500 for their tickets. What I learnt in Prague is that touts don’t drop there prices at the last minute.

Getting old is clearly part of it, but let’s be honest football fans are becoming a different breed to what I grew up with (I’m 51). Terraces being removed and sky was the beginning of the end for many of us. If I’m honest I miss the air of violence and hostility but that’s pretty much gone in the p...

Hopefully they’ll also cover those murdered in the Range Rover in Essex, that would be interesting 

Hi Joe, will take both if still available

Thanks 

Can anyone name 1 case where a new stadium has had a positive effect on the atmosphere and fan base? I can’t think of one and the list is endless. Take spurs for example, they loved it first season and now they’re all moaning about how sanitised and shit it is. You can look through the leagues and s...

I hear what you’re saying maverick. Totally understandable when you consider what the match day experience is like now compared to say 10 plus years ago, it’s all got progressively worse. I’m 52 this year and find it very boring now as I’m sure most will my age. The younger lot may feel different as...

Arrived like Steven Seagal and left like Steven Hawkins 

There is literally not a single reason why we should win this, which probably means we will defy all odds and snatch a backs to the wall win 

Perversely I quiet like the chaos of relegation, after all it doesn’t really effect me does it, there will still be football every week and the the likes of Huddersfield won’t be hoovering up tickets in the Bobby Moore lower wearing half and half scarfs. It’ll be worth it just to see the board utter...

Really enjoyed the first 20 mins or so, but the writing was in the wall when fulkrug went off and I new onana was going to score, real shame the game turned like it did at half time, we had nothing in the locker until the last 5 mins. I have to say Villas support is probably one of the most cringy I...

Please let me know if you have a spare.

thanks 

Hello mate, is ticket still available, I will take it if so

It was hard getting over my addiction to the hokey cokey…. But I turned myself around, and that’s what it’s all about.

You’ve got sir Nigel’s threat of private prosecution to thank for this

Nutsin - a few year ago, grant flemming was going to write a script or book about this, with some help from Irvin Walsh I think. Guess it didn’t happen though. 

mavropanos is certainly consistent 

Will we get the whole side stand or both tiers behind the goal 

I’m not sure if we were dreadful or they were brilliant for periods of that first half, probably a bit of both. One things for sure we gifted them 3 goals with 2 pens and a defensive howler, their 2nd was pretty soft as well. Such a shame we conceded the 2nd pen when we did as they looked rattled at...

Wasn't Belstaff claiming to be the dancer out of brother beyond or was it Sonia’s backing dancer 

RIP Steve, surely there can’t be another football photographer in the entire world that used to get a whole stand chanting his name as he waddled past. Very endearing bloke from my perspective as a teenager in the stands.

I think Summerville is going to really shine in this game, it’s the perfect opposition for him. 2-0 west ham 

I had over an 8 hour round trip on Saturday due to trains being messed up, spent over £200, didn’t get into ground until after we’d scored and then got charged £17 for 1 beer and some chips at the bar.

It’s definitely deteriorated over the last 20 years but who’s hasn’t. I guess It’s more noticeable with us as we have previously been one of the best. The whole experience is sadly very different now and the few recent European games were a nice change for me. I’d say only 1 or 2 a season are memora...
