agree totally, everyone does it to some extent. but, for a team that gets
lauded so much, no-one seems to pick up on theirmore theatrical side.

on another subject Fulham have won tonight, giving them a 8-6-3 home
record so winning there won't be easy for us in the chase for 5th (4th).
we really need to (a) beat Newcastle, and then (b) have a go at Fulham and
Villa in the away matches instead of starting slow like we have in so many
away games.
