Morning lads, firstly I'd just like to say thanks for the backing I've received from some of the UFS main lads after the way FoxesTalk and the lads in Swan & Rushes conspired to get me banned from here. The Blue Moon is now back where he belongs and Blue Moon 2, 3 and 4 temporarily retired.
It's been an interesting couple of weeks. After Stoke tried their luck in nearly every pub in town (even tried the Tavern after) there was no way I was wasting my time drinking real ale and waving a scarf about in some rugby pub pre-game, but I did accept you're invite to make my UFS debut against Stoke.
Sadly it didn't last long. I don't disrespect what you're doing, God loves a trier, but life is short and there's no way I'm wasting mine stood in that area. It's probably one of those things, sounds loud when you're right in the middle of it, 16 years old never experienced much atmosphere or stood on a terrace before.
But basically 15 minutes into the game I shook hands with UFS top boy said thanks very much this is not for me and returned to L block to hurl abuse at the Stoke lads.
Once again fair play for trying, thanks for the invite and for supporting me in the FoxesTalk scandal to suppress L block views.
Finally, I do wonder if those who mocked me when I was banging on about winning the FA cup before the Newcastle game, are beginning to have second thoughts now?
Bear in the mind the entire bottom half of the Prem don't bother playing their best side, if you take this cup seriously as a Prem team you're already among the favourites. Pearson got the team selection right yesterday. In history no one will give a shit who came 17th and who came 18th but winning a first ever FA cup would be the greatest day in the club's history.
We're going down, that's almost certainty. And as we were discussing with your top boy that will be a good thing for UFS anyway losing a load of plastics from SK1. But if we go all out for the cup, this can be our best season ever.
