Before i saw this thread I was thinking how long it would be before someone posted a "Hector was amazing, we don't need a new center back." All that based on one game!! We DO need another center back, of that I am sure. Actually, two games at centre back. He was equally assured playing in...
Proper away day! Poets Corner was the place to be, Still can't understand why they moved the game from a Saturday to the Thursday! We all went early and drank all day so there was bound to be a little laddish behavior. To say the pubs got "done" or "smashed up" is a slight exagg...
