I must confess Div3N.. It wasn't original !. The line, which has been stuck in one of the darker recesses of my brain ( what's left of it anyway !) , has nestled there since I read many years ago one of Martin Luther King's essays on racial freedom and equality .
My educated guess is.... Little did that man guess at the time, that his words of wisdom would ever be applied to the struggles of a League 1 Football team !.
However, like yourself I am always hopeful where the Reds are concerned , and do you know what ?, they have usually fulfilled my hopes over the many, many years I have been supporting them as they ascend and descend ' the greasy pole of oblivion '
Someone once said that hope is also ' the mother of invention '.. so my next one is that JC will have invented something special for Tuesday night !.
ON STANLEY ON !.. TO GREATER THINGS !.
