Stuff you weren’t expecting this time last year: COVID Not going to the Well The Greater Great Escape Winning at QPR Winning penalties Winning at the pigsty (Der a massive club danuz, Wensdehs) Big Val Matty James coming back (Dear Santa - can we have him for at least another six months please?) Vic scoring that goal Vic doing several brilliant turns to take opposition players out of the game yesterday Edit - Val’s Merry Christmas message and the immediate post-match reactions of the players - see club Twitter “This is what it means”
Stuff you weren’t expecting this time last year: Making it illegal to demonstrate love, to allow children to play, to smile at a stranger whilst shopping, to organise a baby shower, to surround a loved one as they passed away, to dance like no ones watching at a wedding, to go watch a game a football,that for parts of the year only being allowed to shop in supermarkets...... Oh and winning at Hillsborough and feeling a bit hollow about it because I couldn't go.
Just seen VI’s message above - as Reds fans I think we all deserved that result yesterday and a huge thanks to him and all the players yesterday for this early Xmas present.
