I'm not saying that at all. The fact they aren't wearing replicas was a secondary point.

They might not be wearing colours but there is plenty of colour (demonstrating club loyalty) on the flags, and I think they'd struggle to avoid the police with those flags!

Whoops, long day at work combined with tiredness is my excuse for that mistake. Still it's an important revenue stream for the club.

Plus he's a journalist … words, not numbers

But that's a feeble excuse. Although journalists do make up facts. Allegedly, of course.

Possibly. But it's one that's stood me in good stead for 25 years now …

My excuse for being bad at words is that I'm good at numbers, somehow I'm still surviving...
