I rate him. I'm always pleased when he's in the line up and seems to create plenty of openings. Yes he messes up from time to time but he more than makes up for it with the good bits. He's unpredictable and defences find it difficult to play against him.
I was in Manchester for New Year's Eve about 20 years' ago and when it got to midnight I started chanting Bobby Stokes, Bobby Stokes! Some Manc walked past and told me he was offside! It made my night!
The weekend starts now! Bring on Sunday. A night on the **** on Sat night then a very early start on Sun made even earlier by the bloody clocks moving forward.
I'll be driving down alongside all of the Carlisle mob I would have thought. I have booked an official space but expect it to be a nightmare getting out. I was going to get the train but some friends who supported Villa in the League Cup Final said it was a nightmare getting back to the station and that there were delays on the way down - also a Sunday - so I've resigned myself to a long wait in the car. Fine if we win but if we lose ......
Just got back and the long drive was undertaken with a great smile on my face. The crowd was literally buzzing tonight and to see us score 10 goals in the space of 4 days is just superb. Well done to the lads - a brilliant performance.
