Wed 28th April

To say it’s a little quiet on the Bescot front would be an understatement.

The sold out signs are now out for Saturday and Bescot will be humming with promotion fever. The national newspapers seem to have located Walsall for the first time since the Watford games in the late 80's and the Word according to Ray is being splashed across every workplace in the lane.

I wonder if they’ve pinned it up around Moss Side and inside Maine Road?

Now at Manchester City in September they sang “3 - 0 in your cup final..3 - 0 in your cup final..” Well with City not kicking off until 6 O Clock on Saturday night they’re going to have to sit there and listen to a bigger game. This is our cup final and in many ways it’s also Manchester City’s. Should we win then they lose.

It’s their Cup Final and they can’t even get a ticket. He who laughs last laughs the loudest. He with the Manc accent isn’t finding us funny anymore.
