WBA (3-1) - 15th April 2006

We're getting to that point of the season when every game is a "last" of some sort or another. This was the "last" 3.oo k.o. on a Saturday Afternoon - something that has been more and more of a rarity in the Sky dominated era of TV coverage but still a strange feeling. The walk down Avenell Road (see picture) will only be taken three more times and each time for an incredibly intense game. During this game the players' (and perhaps the crowd's) minds seemed to be on Wednesday and the CL semi-final. It's always dangerous and is very worrying considering who we play between the 2 legs of the semi!

Thankfully, class told and the day designated as "Dennis Bergkamp Day" was made complete when he rolled back the years to make one and score one of his trademark curlers (well pre-2002 it was trademark) to finish off a lacklustre West Brom. It was also nice to hear Bryan "man of the match" Robson whine on & on at the end of the game....

p.s. Adrian Childs is smaller than you think when you meet him.
