Mendoza's blog - reflections on Norwich game

[Mendoza]

Blogs are what you want them to be mate, I just think you maybe leave yourself open to some of the spoons on here to bring up the 'hero' shananigans.

Good read though fella.

Fair enough, I guess thats true. Anything in the public eye is always going to get negativity of some description. Even the heroes thing wasnt all about me, I was just saying well done to all those who went. And it was in jest. I guess mud sticks with some even though that was a year ago

When are you doing youre blog, not seen one from you in a while, I love the gossip in those!

I might bung one up this week. Been doing the odd match report for the programme which has sort of been using up my free time.

Brett is my HERO!

I quite enjoyed reading the blog as it goes

 

[The Oldman]

I thought it was a very good read summing up the frustration of an awful night for a Brighton Fan. Thanks Brett.

PS. I keep saying this but I have never had other than disappointment when watching the Albion at Carrow Road and through gritted teeth always admire the passion and vocal support of the Norfolk locals.

Thats some good quality soccerball scribings there Brett. Good work squire.

Love you to Richie, I didnt ask him to write that, I dont know why he did that. I have never said Im the only one that goes to games, I love being part of the atmosphere that makes an away crowd. Hence I write about it.

My point was only that any fans, not just Brett, who travel all the way from Sussex to Huddersfield or Norwich for midweek games and then see the team get stuffed are very loyal. I was very impressed with the turn out - more than we took for two midweek games there in the championship. It was a throwaway, thoughtless comment probably from my old habit of watching Dastardly and Mutley.

Good blog.

Out of interest, do you/Tim/Richie get paid for these blogs?

Aside from how brilliant Mendoza is, I think the point that some people are making is this obsession about midweek games far away. Is it any more loyal than fans who make similar (often longer) journeys on Saturdays? What about those who shell out £500 a year just to go to home games, no days out included?

You get paid for blog if certain advertising criteria is met, on certain sites

Much better than previous reads if a little egocentric. Seems like you actually proof-read this one!

You were in the row just in front, in fact !

That was a great little piece. Shame about the pissy, snide comments, but I guess that is NSC for you.

Is it just me that wonders how you manage to hold down a stable job and still manage to traipse all over the country watching the Albion?

Nice post. Look fwd to more posts.

Crikey there really is no limits to the amount people will moan and nitpick on this site. If its not the team, the manager or the coaches its the people who share their views and experiences in an open, honest and entertaining way.

There must be more important things in your lives....?

Brett is suffering from Blind faith. This good, if no one had blind faith the Albion would get 0 fans watching them each week. Things will get better.
Saints game was brilliant.
