Maybe he filmed two videos the same night and couldn’t be arsed to change it!

Adversity binds people together and I really think a special sense of being a Cov fan is developing, particularly the away support.

[ Never mind weeing, I pride myself on ‘being regular’. Put it down to Guiness. You could set your watch by me. 7 am every day. I don’t get up till 8 though.

Respect to you and the other 701 who braved that weather on a Tuesday night. You all deserve some sort of medal. It must help the players to come out and see a decent away crowd in those circumstances.

My dad went regularly and I’d devour the programme, the old ‘Sky Blue’ priced 1/-. I pestered and pestered him to take me and the Burnley game was the first. I was 2 months short of my 7th birthday. We won 4-1 and that was it. Dads last game before cancer took him was the last ever at HR. That...

Remember hearing some pillock on a radio phone in a few years ago. Said he and his mrs were both ‘gooners’ (a word that instantly makes you sound a massive nob) and had met through Arsenal (this was around their invincible stage) and had been through thick and thin with Arsenal since. Choked on...

Heard my stepson scream at the Xbox last night “you dicksucker”. Never heard that as a term of abuse before and resolved to use it. Steve Evans is the first recipient.

It’s a father and son thing as Otis says. First game v Burnley in 1969. Loved everything, the crowd, the tobacco smell. In the 70s graduated to the West End where my intense dislike of away fans was fuelled by weekly aggro. Privileged to watch Tommy Hutchison tear every single full back apart...

Shame the Market Tavern is no more, class joint.

Who’ll be the first?

The £10-a-game poker player who won $2.6m

Perhaps a touch too much of Gary Breen but a good reflection of the atmosphere in the concourse before the match. Like you I was proud of our semi comeback at the end, could so easily have been 5 or 6 nil, instead it could really have been 3-2. JCH immense. Hopefully they learned from...

They don’t work hard enough. As Nick has identified our throw-ins aren’t an advantage they’re a liability. Nobody seems to want the ball, nobody moves to make space and the opposition often get it straight away. Same with goal kicks. Same with the passing. Our man on the ball gets closed down by...

Thread hits the nail squarely on the head. I am sick and tired of watching men v boys year in year out. We have been brittle for as long as I can remember. How often do we come back from behind to draw let alone win? Yet it seems that every time we go two goals ahead the next goal is almost...

I wonder who Nick would list as legends of the forum? Perhaps we should be told...

I started supporting in 1969, the first year of being in the top flight. I sympathise with my lad who has never seen us there, and even more with someone who has only seen us in the fourth tier. You are partly right in that the ‘team’ is a fourth division team at the moment. The ‘club’...

Zeffirelli had to start somewhere, keep at it, we’re always in need of some good videos.

But grabbed your attention enough for you to read it and make a snide comment.

Leamington Police have had some interesting encounters over the years with players, managers and the powers that be at the club (he hints darkly). No names but some explanations for some shocking performances! I’m not a copper I hasten to add but have impeccable sources.

On the train some lads were singing and the repertoire moved on to SOTV. The presence of women and kids was pointed out so the words were quickly changed to “Poo on the Villa...because the Villa are Poo” - pretty funny.
