That's a good opening post, Tibby, so I'll look forward to some more from you to spice up the Forum.
I actually thought (and so probably did Saido) that the reception he got was fantastic. I was very proud of the fact that our supporters manned up and applauded him. (If I'd been there and had to boo or cheer, I'd probably have booed, incidentally
)
I'd welcome a smash-and-grab against the Villa, but only as a one-off. I'd rather literally go down fighting, than go down playing the Stoke way. It's not compulsory for the bottom half Clubs to put 10 men behind the ball, then hoof it when we get possession. The Management have never had so much funds at their disposal to turn this team into a cavalier outfit, for which we are renowned. Surely, after huffing and puffing our way to survival in April/May, we could have set up a blueprint for maintaining Premier status under our own brand of attacking football. Other teams do it with less money than we've splashed.
