I get a semi at the thought of another trip to Wembley.

Loons.

Back to no away fans for Old Firm games?

Yes, furthermore, the press has been desperate to disclose her new identity and has got it wrong on many occasions. This has led to at least a dozen women being attacked by vigilantes based on those errors.

Tosh's team is now average age 70 and some of them are dead. Brendan's team is now average age 40. They'd win overwhelmingly.

Yes, they've closed down permanently. It's a very sad tale with a sad ending.

It's weird isn't it? Recently the crowd in the stadium is much more appreciative of the team's efforts than those who post on the match day thread during the game. Maybe the experience is so different that it leads to a completely different perspective on what's unfolding before us? After all...

Mamma Mia! What a beautiful day.

Back home. For 15 minutes that was as good as we've played for a very long time. Except for the usual bit about putting the ball in the net. Stoke are big and strong and fast and gave us big problems. Then the ref started being weird. We weren't as good against 10 as we were against 11...

We really didn't know whether Ash, Leon, Nathan, Angel would make it in the Premier league. Rodgers put a system in place that gave them a chance to compete. Our marquee signing was Danny Graham. Getting us up and then keeping us up was Brendan's finest achievement.

Agreed. Forest won the Division one title the season after promotion from Division two. That's as good as impossible now.

On Wind Street before Christmas.
