Aine - who'se Donald is a question that's not easily answered. Sire, as a follower of Man City, I know exactly what you are going through. It might seem strange to say it but sometimes relegation can help turn a club around. You can get rid of a lot of deadweight and move forward again and positive momentum in football is a good thing. Trouble with the third division is that it's hard to get out of as a lot of games are not about football but fighting and scrapping for territory. Actually forget what I said about relegation being a good thing, if you go down you're f***ed!

I think Sunderland are even more of a rollercoaster than West Brom Cliff! Getting relegated with 19 points only to come back up and set a new record low of 15 points takes some doing. Hopefully Derby will erase the 15 points record this year. I would imagine Sunderland must be the most successful Championship Club over the last 12 years. If only we could stay in the premiership for more than 3 years at a time! Thankfully I realised a longtime ago that football usually ends in tears.

Aine, I am not in the best position to answer who I am. By end of great weekend in Belfast I was just a walking shell and am now back to as normal as it gets. It really was great wekend. Aine were you outside the gig behind the bike sheds smoking?

Yes George but on the rare occassion they're tears of joy...thats what makes it all worthwhile.

Alex - Only joking !!!!!! Great meeting up with you and Louise again - really great day - many thanks to everyone.
