an alien feeling

Relegation. Something that Arsenal have never experienced. Something that Crystal Palace fans are all too familiar with (4 times in the last 14 years). Something that Saints fans haven't had to worry about for 30 years but yesterday had to live the nightmare. I saw some shots of crying fans on the news and it was heartbreaking. Count yer blessings you gooners and Manure followers, I say. Hats off to West Brom though, they managed to squeeze through and survive, having been my own personal favourites to go down.

For the die-hard fans it must be so hard to take, what with the reality of next season's fixtures against Plymouth and Crewe hitting home...No more Manure, no more visits to Highbury, no more El-Hadji Diouf flobbing at you...

And a quick commiserations to Eastbourne Borough FC (despite their Manure-like black and red scarf), my local team, who failed to make it in the Conference play-off against Altrincham yesterday. The big time was just around the corner...

    Borough will be back...although I have heard on the grapevine that Stewart Tuck (a redoubtable ex-Seagulls defender) may not be with them...
