    After 90 minutes of action on Saturday, nothing I like more than a good 4 hour race to lull me to sleep between the first 50 laps and the last 100!

    Mrs Ian is obviously very lucky! Good for you-keep on spoiling her! My husband and I are celebrating 10 years this September! He is spoiling me by taking me to London to see the Arsenal!

    I was at Disney World during the 2002 WC and likewise saw lots of jerseys, especially England NT.

    One day I was in the park wearing my Birmingham City jersey when I hear someone say, "That man's wearing a Birmingham City top!" I over to see a man who appeared to be in his sixties, sitting is a tea cup, talking to his wife, waiting for the ride to start. We exchange acknowledging nods and he spins away.

    A few minutes later, I am waiting near the ride as my wife and two older children are in line for the tea cups and I stay with our toddler, asleep in a stroller. The same man walks up to me chest out, shoulders back, as though he might take a swing and says, "We're playing you in the Premiership next year!"

    I reply, "Who's 'we'?"

    "West Brom," he returns.

    "Oh, congratulation on promo..."

    "You're not English," he cuts me off, "I can tell by your voice."

    "No, I'm American but I have a Birmigham connection," I reply. Then his wife walks up and says hello. "Can you believe an American is wearing a Birmingham City top?" he asks her. She could care less and tells him that they need to hurry along to stay with the group. We exchange goodbyes and they walk away.

    A couple of hours later, I see him again in another part of the park with a group of probably ten couples the same age. He quickly grabs the attention of the men and says to them, "Look there! There's that American lad with the Birmingham City top. Can you believe that?!" I just smiled, waved and keep on walking. Who wants to get beat up by a bunch of senior-citizen, Albion supporters in Disney World?
