Sink the pink...

Who says footballers don't have taste?

Observe: The shrinking violet of football, Stephen Ireland, with his new motor. Oh dear...

Gillingham v Crewe

Jim Rosenthal visits the London Planetorium...

Mid-90's dance music, Simon Royce on his high-horse, and Brian Moore's beautiful cranium...

Where: Priestfield, 15.00
What you hope to see: Dance music trio Dario G making a comeback before the game to inspire the Crewe players for this high-pressure League One relegation clash. Only they’ve changed their name to Stevie H...
What you’re likely to get: A fuming Simon Royce shouting “I used to play for Charlton you know” after the third goal flies in…
Fact! Gillingham’s online fanzine has the best name in the English League, Brian Moore’s Head Looks Uncannily Like London Planetarium.

Portsmouth v Aston Villa

The second half had started but Doug was busting and wasn't giving up now...

Queuing ages for the bog, David James being funny, and a ruddy cowbell...

Where: Fratton Park, 15.00
What you hope to see: Pompey trailing with a minute to go and David James going up for a corner. Then Villa scoring on the break with James scampering down the pitch. Because we don’t care what anyone says, that’s always hilarious.
What you’re likely to get: That berk ringing his cowbell for 90 minutes. The rest of the crowd imploring the police to confiscate it. Or to beat him with it.
Fact! If an away fan goes to the toilet during half time at Fratton Park, they will never return. Before the 87th minute anyway…
