Instead of the usual irritating/ill informed/imbecilic tossers we normally complain about on this thread, yesterday for a change I had a pair of mind numbingly dim teenage neutrals behind me whose incessant ramblings about all sorts of things over 90 minutes made Beavis and Butthead's exchanges sound like Peter Ustinov crossing wits with Stephen Fry.
To be fair, they were harmless enough and listening to them amused me far more that the turgid fayre served up by the players. There were many moments where I found myself desperately trying to stifle a guffaw, not least of which was when it became clear they had only come to the game to see Aaron Pierre because they really like him on FIFA, but here are my personal highlights....
Beavis: "Well, all the players out there will have other jobs that they do during the week, won't they?" Butthead: "No, I think they are professionals" B: "Really?" BH: " Yeah, some of these are probably earning, oooh, probably up to £600 a week." B: "Bloody hell, that's like... [cogs turning].... twice the minimum wage or something." BH: "Yeah. Are these in the same league as Stratford?" B: "Yeah, I think so."
Beavis: "Agger. Agri. Agiri." Butthead: "It's agriculture." B: "What?" BH: "It says agriculture." [ at this point I realised they were looking at the Moulton College sign above the South Stand] B: "Construction. Sport. Animals. Um. Something. Agriculture." BH: "What is that? Ekeen?" B: "E-queen?" BH: "A-quin?" B: "huh huh, dunno, something about animals, innit?"
Then they got the giggles for a good two minutes as they continued to attempt (unsuccessfully) the correct pronunciation of "equine".

Reminded me of the stewards at Anfield, I'm sure they had a similar conversation that the players heard and helped inspire the win. Shame they didn't hear it on Saturday!

Yeah, I remember a couple of YouTube rants from Liverpool fans doing the rounds after that game where they were going on about losing to a team of postmen and plumbers. I sometimes wonder about the intellect of the wider community of football fans. You don't necessarily expect fans of Premier League teams to be able to list off loads of lower league players or even managers, but surely a general understanding of the league structure isn't too much to expect, is it???

Professional football doesn't exist outside of the Premier league nor did it exist before 1992. Everyone knows that

One of our regular vocal misery guts in the west stand who l have the pleasure of looking down on had an issue when their striker blocked one of Cornell's kicks from hand. He shouted "he's just standing his ground" and that the ref had "got it wrong" to award us a free kick for obstruction by their player.
So was the misery guts ...?
1. Right. 2. Wrong. 3. Wrong and knob of the week.

That will take a few hours to answer I was in Row M 130 and there was a bloke bellowing very loudly; anyone in and around that area in the WS would have heard him!
