I woke up this morning and recalled a dream about a blue team playing away to a red team and blue won the game. Checking last nights results it showed the power of dreams YEs Brummie beat the "***tards" 1 - 3. 
Rock & Roll is here to stay!!!!!
Checking up on the league tables to see they hadn't gone 3rd as BBC had predicted showed something IMO has gone wrong with football these days.
After 30 games played in the Championship
Only one club in the bottom 12 positions in the table has a positive goal difference i.e. Reading with +2.
Only 5 teams have a goal diff of over 10 goals.
Swansea in 8th position has only +1 diff.
The "**it" in 6th ( not 3rd
) position has +2 diff.
I thought football was about entertainment and that in terms of football generally means goals. Yes I have senn boring 3 - 3 draws and brilliant 0 - 0 draws but goals means prizes ( or lack of ) after 46 games.
I look back a few years ago and think of a certain team who took a 25 - 30 goals a season player away from a club just to sit him on the bench for a few seasons then loan him out because they couldn't sell him because of the excessive pay differences between divisions. How many other clubs collect goal scoring players on high pay just to sit on the bench or worst just making up squad numbers and not even play in games in front of spectators?
In many ways you can't blame players moving and trebling their pay to rot away in these unwatched games, but it does bring a wry smile to my face when you see modern players stating their passion to play for the shirt only to be gone tomorrow for more money. How many of these forgotten players could have been heroes of other clubs when at the peak of their careers? Money is the name of the game!
That's why for me the likes of Stuart Taylor in the quarters will never be seen again!
