Because we won and deprived certain people of the chance to maoan about losing. So instead they moan that some directors weren't there (incorrectly in most cases). If we lose to Birmingham they can go back to moaning about the team instead.

2-0 McGoldrick

Make the Dutch duo feel at home with "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. I put this as a joke but looking at the video I'm pretty sure it would scare the opposition. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bpV5InLw52U

I've gone for mid-table (which will be much better than last year). It's hard to predict after only one game (which I didn't see). But I can't bear to go into a new season believing we'll be relegated. And, no matter what our reduced circumstances are, I cannot believe that there aren't 6 or 7 worse teams in the Championship.

Just back from holiday to find that I have to pay £5 if I want to share my wisdom more than three times a day. And then I find that the first thread to catch my eye is an "oh dear, the world is ending, and why is everything so crap?" one from Alpine (who, in a strange way, I've missed for the past few months). And, despite this, I've signed up. Back on subject, Svensson has decided he wants to play and, as long as he adds more to the team by his presence than he subtracts, we should all welcome him and sing his praises. If he does sustain a serious injury, or his old one recurs, then we will cope without him as we would any other player but there's no evidence yet that that has happened. Honestly, Svennson's comeback is something I never thought would happen. I am so glad it has and will enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
