About antony »

What do I say I hate having to write about myself. I will start by saying I am a Luton Town Fan. This itself has many connotations and a roller coaster of highs and lows. I have always found supporting the teams that have a millions of fans and commercial success to be quite boring. You know the English Premier League is only going to be won by one of four teams and you can predict who’s going to be relegated.

I have the British Bug of supporting the underdog as when the fleeting moment of success enters your life I feel it means so much more then consent success. I also prefer to put my money into a community club, which needs the cash to survive.

Luton is one of those good old traditional clubs that like to develop its own players and that starts all they way back with the school boys in the local community and bring them through to full time professionals.

hey mate, actually edited your article after Brett Cooper tried to take the credit for it without actually even doing anything! extremely odd to say you have edited something and then not having edited it at all. made some minor changes to the spelling and grammar, unnoticeable in relation to your writing style, was a good piece enjoyable to read and with fine detail.

Antony,

Tell everyone you know about it, and read this article, please. Gillingham Football Club have problems, ones that need sorting out if we are to get promoted this season. Please read this emotional, passion-filled article, please. It's very long, and I more than anyone hate long articles, especially very long ones, so I try my best to avoid writing them, but I think even for the neutral who doesn't even give a damn about football, my rant here is just funny perhaps to laugh at.

Many thanks as always,
Yoosof
