    I was 16 and just starting 6th year at school and other than Wim's year I had pretty much gone all the way thru school watching Huns win league after league.

    That 1st season under MoN coincided with starting to go out drinking and stuff too so it was just such a brilliant time. Then the run to Seville and being in Seville and despite outcome it's still 1 of greatest experiences in life.

    Really hope it's just a few games he's back, beat the Huns Sunday and couple of wins in the league and it all goes well. Would be gutted to see him get any kind of stick or pressure, which is more a risk the longer he is here I suppose.

    My daughter got a ticket through the club, both me and my mum were convinced he'd give it to me on the day of the game but nope, off he went and left me in the boozer with a few others.

    My maw went ape * when she phoned him after the game and sound out he had went. Can't say I blame him tbf

    For all the talk he's just a "face", his direct style including early balls in was stamped all over that performance.

    There's a notable lift amongst these players here tonight.

    Not going to get carried away obviously but everyone looks happy.

    Rodgers was a massive problem, no doubt about it.

    Just 4-2-3-1 and playing more direct made a huge difference. Not like we haven't been calling for it all season.

    Well done Martin & Shaun!
