My Albion mojo is running low at the moment, feeling very negative about this one, just hope we don't getting a good old arse whopping, given up on it, but there is always a chance the boys do good and surprise us, let's hope so.

Quaffing a bottle of French fizz tonight...a Crémant D'Alsace for starters and then moving on to a fine Madeira as an early warm up for the coming festive season...have a safe and happy Fridat you lovely N.S.C.ers..
