“Kevin Friend is a loser”
Scrawled on a school desk in Lancaster. Our grandson got detention for venting his ire. We could only laugh. I’m sure I wrote worse about Jack Taylor and Maurice Fussey!

Re: Burnley v Hammers March 1963 video
What were the players doing dribbling the ball round the opposition. It’s much more exciting these days passing to a colleague, receiving back from the colleague, passing back to him again…………Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Re: Chris Wood - End of game
Trippier had his arm round Barnes’ shoulder and was in conversation with him for quite a long time. He didn’t deserve any boos and I didn’t hear any aimed at him.

Re: Villa a must win?
Still one from three in my opinion. Everton, though favourites to stay up, could go down if there is a twist on the final day. A lot rides on Thursday night’s games, where Everton need something against Palace, and we need something against Villa.
