    Why do we call it "defensive"? We always concede when we use it. What's "defensive" about that?

    We give the champions a good game, create chances, go ahead and look on top with plan A. Then we change to plan B. Why?

    And yes I know Hammill was injured, ill or both, but we could have kept the same system. Aaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhh!

    Remember, young man

    I promised to buy you a drink if we stay up. Just think, we could be playing Newcastle United next season if we survive. Or Dagenham & Redbridge, if we don't.

    Thanks!

    Easy with hindsight, but we all said the same at the time. Get Disco on.

    I will be there, either way

    As no doubt you will.

    And I've never looked forward to a free drink as much in my life. Personally, I think you are going to have to cough up.

    I really hope I am

    And, believe it or not, I won't even sulk when I get the drinks in. Honest(!) :D

    Yes of course you are

    The more the merrier. A proper stopping up party it will be.
