2011 was absolute Dog Poo for me. Roll on more Dog Shit in 2012.

when we scored against palace

This will sound a bit corny.
I had been suffering from severe depression for longer than I care to remember. I had been unemployed for a 'good' year, struggling to get out of bed, struggling to sleep, struggling to exist. I managed to blag myself a job, with a little help from my friends, working for the council in Preston Park.
The structure and fresh air gave me a massive lift. In the space of a year, I went from wanting to throw myself in to the Thames, into a functioning human being with aspirations for the future.
On 7th June (I know the date as that is recorded as a missed call from her to give me her number), I spotted a lady walking past the Bowling Pavilion. I hadn't been without the odd fling and so on, but they were consequential of a night out or a wedding or a party. Nothing particularly meaningful. Difficult to start something up when one dislikes themselves.
By the time I had ummed and ahhed about whether to introduce myself, she had disappeared. So, I chased after her and grabbed her in the Rose Garden (not a euphemism). We got chatting and eventually one thing led to another over the summer. Still hanging in there (I like to think) and it seems that there was a soulmate for me after all.
She is of a certain age (mid 30s) and wants to settle down and have kids, so it is up to me to prove that I have some sort of future and be able to provide for her in the future. Unemployed at the moment, but 2012 is definitely going to be my year. The first year I am actually looking forward to for a long, long time.

That Palace game for me was the turning point of our season. Completely knocked the stuffing out of us and we haven't been the same since. If we had beaten THEM then I genuinely think we would be in comfortably in the play offs right now.

No one deserves it more than you Paul. You are a great bloke with a heart of gold and if I may say a hunk of Manhood. You get your Girl and never look back as its the least you deserve. I still fondly remember our hug on the Withdean pitch after the Man City victory.

Seeing the relief on my sons face when he opened his GCSE envelope and realising he'd got them all and was able to go to his first choice college.
The first time I walked into the Amex and got a pitch view!!! That was pretty breathtaking I have to say
Taking my little girl to see Take That and seeing her stood on her seat clapping and singing along to Never Forget where your coming from!!!
Other than that it's been a pretty uneventful year -
