Ah but that’s alright. I pay well over £2000 a year to watch football and games like yesterday’s are why. I’m really not _that_ worried about the result if we are going to start to play 9 goal thrillers. - we’re averaging three goals a game. “the games about glory, about doing things in style…” Danny Blanchflower. Quite right too. ---
