Best Of

The outrage of being happy at winning a game!

Crikey, even I (geriatric night owl) am usually up by mid morning. Only time I can remember sleeping until the afternoon was in HM Treasury decades ago when I’d been up all night nominally in charge of Budget Day reprographic services. I’d never done it before and was very nervous, not helped by hearing a charming line manager saying “that’ll put the cat amongst the pigeons” as he left me to “get on with it”.

Fortunately the ladies in the reprographic unit had done it all before and all went well. The best part of that night was eating curry in the canteen in the early hours alongside John Major and his private office staff. I was also in charge of the red box !

After tonight's performance alone, I think Fin Back should change his name from "Fin" to "Right". That should cement his place in the team.

Hats off to GA. An absolutely brutal run of 10 games, and Shrewsbury are W3 D2 L5 in that time, with all five defeats being by the odd goal.

The fixture list begins to open up for them now.

New players tend to get a novelty bump, as we are all giddy about having another great player on the books!

I don’t disagree. I’m excited by Simons. But Humphteys was still outstanding

...that actually gets into the team or on the bench.

Enjoyed that. I always find it strange watching us look so comfortable, never looked like losing.

Xavi looks class, when he ran with the ball he looked so good.

Just need to get a front 3 going.

And my boy enjoyed it, though car sickness was not ideal only 5 minutes from home.

Almost any other occasion I’d have gone with Scowen who I thought was absolutely outstanding for 90, but the fact I’ve voted for Xavier just shows how incredible he was tonight. Signing him will be season defining and is the reason I think we will get promoted.

Humphreys could not have played as well as he did had Xavi not had the game he did
