For Shakermaker only,

I have been reading your blog website and I thought the standard of the articles to be of a very high standard indeed, perhaps you should be newspaper reporter! I would have posted a message on your website but there is no facility to do so, so I have had to use this medium.

With regard to the bug, as you put it, I have indeed experienced this. My hometown team, which happens to be a current League 2 club, was founded in the 1890's and I have supported them through thick and thin, mainly thin, since 1958. Some would also consider them to be a small club. During that time they have spent most of their time hopping between the bottom two tiers of the football league with the occasional high spot. So I know only too well about dedication and supporting your team.

For the advice of Cashman, I did not cry to my wife, as you put it, in fact I showed her the postings because we both fell about laughing as we found them very funny - and I wanted her to see what a lot of twerps populate the Crown Creche. As for running away, it is purely a matter of wanting to see a decent game of football at a local club without having my ears battered, simple as that.
