I'll be going on a train holiday in Switzerland this saturday so wont be attending Wembley this time round. Just hoping I can get a decent phone signal amongst the mountain tunnels and passes to keep up with the score. Have a great afternoon everybody !

'D Di Mascio' if I was being truly pedantic...

There were large numbers of Spurs fans in our end in '87. When Spurs scored both their goals at our end of the stadium in the 1st half, many people were jumping up and down, celebrating, in the lower tier.

Very sad news to hear from Smiler of the passing of Kev this week. No idea if he regularly used SBT but he would have been lurking there somewhere causing havoc in a highly amusing way from time to time. I knew him from the GMK/Rivals days where he had so many different aliases that it was...

Binge watched the 8 episodes of The Gentlemen this week. Absolute quality series and has Guy Ritchies stamp all over it ! Vinny Jones, as usual, was more or less playing himself and it really worked well.
