spent a v memorable night in dulwich after a 0-0 draw with villa in which a cousin had an episode and scratched up several passers by before we spotted her turning, up til then it had all been fond cameraderie and singsongs to total eclipse of the heart and sambuca in the vale i have videos of most of the above iirc
