Monkspath-Villan

Fantastic. I was worried we would lose but really upbeat and optimistic for a happy, enjoyable weekend.

Phew what a relief!

Apologies. But could someone direct me to the anti left wing thread? Thanks in anticipation

Not for Aston Villa, though  Ugo's was poor. Looking beyond Villa, Ali Dia for Southampton was probably as bad.

Today was a good test of our resilience. In the event that we are relegated then this will bear a close resemblance to the kind of side we will be putting out in The Championship.

On the subject of the degeneration of shirts like these may I make a suggestion based on a few years of fabric and detergent development.

Shirts with this type of transfer should be washed inside out to stop rubbing wear. Even better if you can place it in a zip up washing bag. Low temperatures should be used with plenty of detergent and if BO is an issue use a conditioner. Try not to put in a fast spin, rather put on a hanger to dry. An obvious one is NEVER IRON. "Hi tec" sports shirts generally have high fabric development costs but cheap manufacturing processes.

I promise to get out more.
