Dave, you've fallen out with football for the same reason as me: our team
is fucking shit now, we've forgotten what it's like to win, and our hopes
rest on the whims of a loathsome crooked tax-exile pensioner.
I was happy for Chelsea, as I seriously admired their team spirit and will
to win. They never, ever gave up the fight. If Leeds had done what they did
we'd be creaming into our pants. End of.
We'll be back.
MOT,
Nigel.
