How do you WSFFL? - The Boston Rock view

Does your team have a nickname?
Yup, it's "The Sky Heroes". The Sky Heroes were a band out of Boston in the late 90's, who featured a frankly astonishing vocalist called Brian Dunn, whose voice could honestly stop birds in flight, plus the guitarist and drummer from American Hi-Fi, in their pre-Hi-Fi days. They only gigged in Boston, made one unreleased album which luckily I got a bootleg of, then split up.

What's the name of your imaginary ground?
The co-ordinator called it the Whitby Grove Enormodrome, which is good enough for me!

What colours do your team play in?
Ooh, gots to be yellow and black stripes!

How do you celebrate a goal?
If I'm in the car and listening to the footy and one of my players score, I allow myself a clenched fist and a silent, "yesssss". Particularly if I'm playing the Aardvark. But actually, as you know, I'm pretty damn bored with the Premiership, and I only really watch Prem games when I'm around my in-laws, so I'm normally chatting along with my father in law and don't feel the need to make a fuss.

Anything else to confess?
Still trying to keep to an all English squad, although it's getting tougher to do so. However, I'm looking forward to seeing how/if young bucks Steven Caulker, Chuks Aneke, Jack Wilshere, Harry Kane, Benik Afobe and particularly Gary Gardner develop. Maybe one of them will be the next
Frank Lampard. Or the next Alton Thelwell...
