why are alot of them saying they are going to skip the game and not watch it? WTF no matter how brick our team was years back, I would always watch the NLD no matter what, they really must be down in the brickS
It is a story I have recently told, but bears repeating in this context.
After the 4-4 a few seasons back, 6 pints and a newly-rediscovered verve for sign-language happily enjoyed, we walked out of the deathstar laughing and singing.
We were still bottom of the league, but as we know, that felt like a win.
"You're still brick and you're still bottom!" some stupid clam yelled at us.
I stopped, turned around and told him something along the lines of the following:
"Your club has never had real class, it's never had real style, it's built on a pile of brick and the tide turns tonight! When did YOU last win a trophy? That's right, now fudge off back south of the river you muppet!"
I don't care about 'The Invincibles' and all that brick, it was not real, it was not them. The last time they did something I deeply, deeply envied, was when they won the league in the '80s at Liverpool because at least they had some of their own dirty filthy heart. They lost that years and years ago, replaced it with something alien to what they've always been. Chapman-era? fudge off. NOTHING compared to Rowe. Their legacy is one of cheating (note how they came to be in North London)...
They're not really down in the bricks mate, they have in the last 15 years taken on a whole bunch of plastic clams who do not have a scooby-fudging-doo what support is all about.
I am quietly, oh-so-quietly, enjoying it. But I will save my biggest two shouts for next Sunday at around 3pm, and May 14th.
