Remember hearing from somebody in the dressing room (on one of those podcasts) that after the game, Beckham was disconsolate and the rest of the team were huddled around him. Meanwhile, Batty had a shower, got his bag round his shoulder and announced, ‘Right, I’m off to the bus lads’

A huge part of me is now starting to think a lot of our initial excitement needs to be tempered and those still persisting with in are doing so with huge dollops of wishful thinking.

He’s very clever is Pat Nevin.

Would disagree slightly. Would much prefer an away game at a beatable team to a home match against City or Liverpool.

As well as obviously being good for our chances, Maidstone home or away would be such a fun tie. Imagine how great for their fans to be around the city pre-match

No it didn’t

Thought the two goals were canny mind

I will vouch for Larry Sanders.

She can’t write. I actually know her and she’s a sound person, but, yeah, she should stop writing.

Have a feeling we’re his ‘big’ club.

I prefer the stuff we do about his little arms.

Going to this with my ostensibly Manchester City supporting nephew. He’s under strict instructions to not wear his shirt. Even so, will I get beaten up?

They had one against Coventry at the start of last season that I thought was excellent.

Both sets of fans? em, no?

We have sang it before, and it’s shit and should stop. A genuine shame if we sang it yesterday.

The rule changed didn’t it? If it continues into the box it’s a penalty.

Celtic and Rangers have completely fucked it with their stupid no away fans thing. Whoever is to blame has ruined a genuine institution. A game I would have always done anything to watch has basically became another SPL fixture.

Top man, cheers

I don’t get what they’re spelling

Sorry. just saw this.

Am I being thick here?

Somebody mentioned BBC sounds and Benno. Can they link it please because I need it.

What a terrible idea for a banner. It reminds me of that tragedy.

Different 1-1s.

Didn’t they wear away kit when they beat us 3-0 second time? Yellow? Obviously I’m not going to watch it to check. We were in some awful thing when we lost 3-0 and Collo got sent off. Fucked that one right off and got a bus back to Shields at 2-0.
