t_bird....how great to hear from you

You have made my weekend. Promotion, Champions, Derby Guard of Honour, winning 3-1, celebrating on their pitch, Orta getting the binoculars out and now you back on here.

I admit I have had quite a few drinkies since Thursday evening... (well it would have been rude not to) ... but now I have another reason to imbibe

I also wanted to say I love Marcelo, Andreas, the whole team and all of the fans especially you lot on here

mmmm too much alcohol methinks
