  1. This is the first i've been able to get on since 5 yesterday
  2. Best first half performance in a while. If it wasn't for Smith we'd be about 5 up here. Look polished and tidy. Players look hungry too.
  3. Outstanding post. You have my heartfelt condolences. My partner recently lost both her grandfathers within the space of a month. Fairly expected on her fathers side, most unexpected on her mothers side. Her mothers father had been a Royal Marine and had served from Normandy to the Far East before joining the Metropolitan Police. We were very close. His funeral was held in Benfleet where he'd lived all his adult life and an RM bugler was there who sounded The Last Post. He was a Spurs fan first and foremost but always maintained a fondness for our Club. I took him to a few games a few years back when they visited but coming from Ayr, the train then the tube got a wee bit too much for him. Loved it all the same. His wake was held in Benfleet Conservative Club and as I was standing at the bar in full Highland garb under an elaborate portrait of Her Majesty, a wee old fella came up to me and goes "So you must be the bluenose jock old George was always goin on about". Despite the circumstances I couldn't stop smiling for hours after this. Still in tears at the OP. Hope your grandfather keeps ok.
