Ten good things about today:

1. They stopped at five.
2. It wasn't on the telly.
3. That should be end of Dabizas.
4. We should have a new manager within minutes - desperately needed.
5. I got away before the grappling started in the city centre.
6. A rendition of "what's it like to come from Kent?"
7. ditto "We hate Cockney's"
8. ditto "f**k off back to London"
9. Half the team acknowledging the travelling support.
10. The end of an August that will not be remembered fondly.

Ten bad things about today:

1. Stockton lardarse and magpie hater Jeff Winter.
2. Shitty seats so tight I couldn't sit down.
3. Licensed thuggery masquerading as stewardship.
4. Being locked in the ground and preached to by that bloody PA woman.
5. Alex Ferguson feeling sorry for us.
6. The ground full of arseholes of all denominations, united by their
mysterious affiliation to a North-Western City.
7. The wailing banshees who sat behind me, two of the most foulmouthed creatures I've ever heard, and they sounded like they were from Hartlepool or some god-forsaken hellhole.
8. That Big Dunc didn't hammer Beckham into the ground headfirst.
9. Half the team trooping off without much as a bye or leave.
10. That new hoopy strip of theirs - can't explain it but aaaaarrrgggghhh!!!!
