I've been writing on The Griffin Park Grapevine for over 26 years, and don't need you lecturing me about thick and thin. I've done more than my share of thin. You throw on a center back for a forward when we're down two goals to make sure 2-0 doesn't become 8-0, I get it. If KA has told them...

I cast my vote for VdB thinking I would be the only one that noticed just good he was. Turns out I was far from alone.
