Why is Doug the fisherman and why were they talking about Salmon?

I remember beating them 4 - 1 at VP in the seventies, surely that's not the last time since today?

I was there. Boxing Day 1975. Dennis Mortimer's debut. Two goals for Dixie Deehan, one for Chico and one for Andy Gray.

Absolutely delighted to give West Ham and Moyes a good hiding. It’s been a long time coming. Apart from 15 minutes after they undeservedly scored, I thought we were brilliant today, absolutely delighted with the performance, every player played their part!

Superb today apart from our little wobble when they scored where we were beyond awful, but we soon recovered.

Apart from some missed passes and Zaniolo having a bad one, that was comfortable. We are just so dominant at home and we are scoring so many goals, good goals too.

Is that 11 in a row now

I was there with the Old Man(HEITS), John Deehan, that was some front 3 with Gray and Little. I can smell the Hot - Dogs.

But the adventurous, attacking formation that Emery has deployed - with three at the back and Matty Cash and Lucas Digne as wing-backs - allows Douglas Luiz the freedom to move into a more advanced role.

Did you notice there were a couple of sequences where the passing was alot quicker and slicker as well?

I think both you and I have been a bit tentative at times about the slow build up.

However, i'm looking and thinking, the better and more confident we get, the quicker this could/will get.

Obs still think we will mix it up, but that was good to see.

Yeh I think it helped that West Ham tried to press so we had to speed it up.  The crowd are finally fine with us playing from the back too. He’s made us such a good team.

That step - over by Bailey sent the defender straight to Perry Barr.

I discovered fly fishing a couple of years ago, uo here in the highlands all fishing is fly fishing. As it’s now my second obsession after AVFC, so I was delighted to see Dougie’s fishing celebration and hear after the match that he too loves to fish, I’ll invite him up to wet a line. Tight lines Dougie!! I’ll try and match you with a fish for every goal you score. The season is closed now for trout and soon will be for salmon but we’re allowed to fish the lochs that are stocked, ie. No migratory fish, all year round. So I’m afraid he won’t be able to catch a salmon from a river until the Spring. I love fishing and apparently it’s very good for people’s mental health, I can confirm this too. Perhaps the perfect antidote to watching the Villa!
