You know what ? "What? - You stupid fucking baldy old twat".......
OK I will tell you.
People keep telling us we were has-beens, historical old farts that had had our day, we were a spent force.
Maybe so. but strange, as it miught be we have the main news solid for three days and the best part of a week, BBS TV & radio, Sky News and Sports and every red top in the land, and every phone in program that there is.
People feel that our reputation has been tarnished having beee dragged through the courts... I say it has been enhanced, I say it shows what a huge club be actually still are. I doubt there is any other club that would have taken such a high profile over an ownership issue than us...OK maybe one.
John Henry and NESV must now be shitting themselves and realise this week more than last what they have bought into....... a slumbering monster.
It looked a bit piss-poor at some points and seemed there was little or no interest in a faded / jaded club - not so.
All this court room drama has far from dragged us through the gutter, it has shown us what a pearl we really are.
It has given me a lift and I suspect I am not alone

Top post, old friend. The only thing with which I'd slightly take issue is the bit about Henry and NESV sh!tting themselves. Fortunately I think it's more likely that they'll be rubbing their hands with glee, looking forward not only to the profits to come but also (if that article from the "Sunday Times" I quoted a few days ago is correct) to the fun they'll have along the way
