Val....  "my dad says a team only plays as good as the opposition let them".  
Your dad is 100% correct and it annoys me no end when you get stupid comments from people like Henry and Rednapp when they come out with "they didn't play well" excuses.

Why didn't Arsenal play well? Because we feckin well didn't let 'em!  

Good 'un your Dad is Val!

Nice one baggie man I fear the only thing my dad hasn't got right is his choice of team as he and my brother are Villains lol! Needless to say they've both lost interest in football this season. Interesting titbit for you all is I had a mole in the machine last week? A certain lady cellist of chinese origin who has played on my latest album in the making was invited to a dinner with other fairly well known chinese business men and women last week. She texted me to say she would be hanging out with a couple of football club owners in Birmingham. Yes none other than a certain Messrs Lai and Xia. I sent her a picture of all my baggies Shirts with a message to ruthlessly plug my band. Which she did with aplomb it seems Mr Lai was well impressed with my collection dating back to 1973 and also intrigued about her musical venture with us mixing rock and classical. I expect to be bought out by the end of the week and see our net value of £671.93p soar as WBA sponsors Symphony of Pain Yeeees i've been taking some of what DD and Talksaft were taking before yesterdays KO lol! Oh to dream
