Crowd trouble at Hull: The Truth
The romance of the FA cupOur Beer and Football correspondent Stray Photon writes:
As builders move in to to rebuild the wrecked KC Stadium, Spraying the Rays can exclusively reveal the real reason behind the disgraceful scenes of crowd violence which marred the weekend's fourth round FA cup tie and further sullied the battered reputation of the national game.
In scenes reminiscent of the 1980s, fans of rival clubs Hull City and Millwall fought each other in and outside the ground and argued over whether everybody should Wang Chung tonight, or not.
But what could have sparked off the violence?
I spoke with one of the London club's fans, Ronnie Geezer.
"Nah mate, see this wasn't just your normal away trip, this was more of your pilgrimage type thing."
Mr Geezer continued in an unfeasible cockney accent;
"We didn't come all this way to the frozen North just for a game of football: we came to pay homage at a sacred place, to worship at the shrine. We came to see the legend that is Deano."
"Then when one of of these Northern muppets told us that he wasn't even on the bench, well that's when it all kicked off mate, apples and pairs, how's yer father and all that old pony."

"I mean we was expecting to see one of the legends of football, a master of his art, a true magician of the turf, and it turns out he's gone to bleeding Oldham on loan. Well, we was bound to be a bit narked, wasn't we?"
Hull manager Gabrielle Drake is insisting the the South London club compensate Hull City for the damage caused.
Drake: cross
"These scenes no longer have any place in the modern game," commented the purple be-wigged gaffer.
"I have contacted my counterpart at Millwall and demanded they pay for the damage. One of our fans tore the front cover of his programme as he stood up to get a better look at the trouble, and all that police horse crap doesn't clean itself up, you know."
A Mr. Howesey "Howesey" Howes of Brentford...Syon Lane...er sorry, Hounslow, also commented;
"Bloody hell, he isn't even at the sodding club any more and still he gets his ugly mug in the blog. Cancel my subscription forthwith, Bennett."

Ah, not much difference between Millwall supporters behaviour and Deano's playing standards pitchside. I see why they both go together like peas in a pod.
What happened to Isleworth...?
Oh bugger. Not another 'fail to call'...
I must have been on the first four coaches and didn't notice that there was a station at Isleworth.
...er, that should of course have read "not" on the...
