Champagne / Whiskey and Revolver Moments 2012-13

You had to see those 7 minutes at Forest to believe it. For that little spell we were just totally unplayable, everything our players did came off. When we got that free kick there was absolutely no way Baxter wasn't going to bury it, you could see exactly where he was going to hit it. It was an utter joy to watch.

More than anything because of the way Forest had played the first half as if we were 11 blocks of wood. I thought it was a close run thing whether our players started crying or we did.

Yeah, it was very reminiscent of the game at Sheff Utd last season - we were so :censored: first half, you almost wished it was cricket rules and we could declare because it felt like the only question was how many we'd concede in the second half and whether we could keep the scoreline vaguely respectable. Then a totally different team comes out for the second half and does that. It's games like that, that sum up what it means to support Latics and why we do it - you sit through hours upon hours of :censored:e in case you miss something like that. And i can remember telling my brother "you've got no idea what it feels like to be 3-1 up against 10 men, and still be a total bag of nerves because you know your team's more than capable of throwing that lead away."

Great view of the Donny goal v Brentford on Late Kick-Off London last night. The whole mad 30 seconds or so filmed from behind the Donny goal. It's all about perspective.

Watch from about 4.45 onwards. I'm one of those people who absolutely revels in other people's football misfortune. When the whistle blows in the final, I'm watching the players slumping to their knees rather than the ones jumping for joy. This is almost unbelievable fare if you have the same tastes.

Fair enough.

I still don't understand why Trotta tries to take the leather off the ball.

Many questions remain about Trotta. I love the effort BWP and a couple of the other Brentford lads make when the ball breaks. One thing stops them from running: the massive sense of grief and disaster heading their way.

When in doubt - put your foot through it. Personally I can understand why he has done that.

I would have dinked it, 3 times out of 4 it works.

Taking 700 down to London for a meaningless end of season match must be one of the champagne moments...

It was more of a Stella and Special Water moment for me. Was thinking about putting our goal down as a whiskey and revolver episode. A miskick here, a shinner there and it's in the back of the net. Millar almost too ashamed to celebrate. A goal's a goal though.
