The Football.....

Forget Liverpool Dave, what a week the Cherries have had, 3 major scalps. I can remember them being at the very bottom and passing the bucket around to keep them afloat. 🍒

As a Villa fan, I’m disappointed but I agree amazing. When I moved to the New Forest in the early 80s we went to the old Dean Court, a bit of a shock compared with Villa Park. What a well run club. MCFC and others would do well to look at their experience.

The love in didn't last long! Living here in Lancashire I've been listening to Radio Lancashire on and off all day to their fans, players and club officials etc giving it large about their win! Yes, a remarkable achievement, but just listening to their chairman on the radio now, he said their home tie in the quarter final against either Everton or Newcastle wasn't the tie they'd hoped for!😲 Who the feck do they think they are???!!! Piddly little Fleetwood actually think Premier League Everton or Newcastle aren't big enough clubs for them to face! Not only that, but my thoughts turned to the below report of when they visited Accrington almost 5 years ago, running amok in the town centre!

Plus last night their chavvy fans ran onto the pitch to goad the Arsenal fans who to their credit didn't respond and kept calm. There's one video of some Fleetwood chav being filmed threatening an Arsenal fan who seemed to be trying to deflate the situation. Fleetwood Town, mmmm, not a nice club it seems!🤔

Have you actually thought about this before jumping on an opportunity to rant about Fleetwood and the club's fans. Unlikely. So typical of many fans. Sadly.

In a number of interviews it was clear Fleetwood hoped for a trip to Anfield or the Etihad, I guess Dickinson Hill would be on the list. Easily reachable from Fleetwood, plenty of capacity for fans, less hassle for the club and a bigger pay day. Let's face it, they've grabbed the glory, will probably go out in the next round and as much cash as possible will be a huge compensation.

Oh, yes, people in glasshouses........Stanley were charged with failing to control fans in a match versus Bolton in 2022/23.
