Hi Darragh,
I haven’t contacted you since early on when you first arrived at our club, welcoming you. I believe I sent you a thank you at the time, if I didn’t a belated thank your for your response.
I’d like to say thank you also for all you have done for MY club, (I know it’s not really my club, but I look upon it that way).
The reason for this message is a bit of a silly one, from one of the silliest supporters to one of the most sensible guys around, but, have you noticed or has it been pointed out to you by anyone else, that we seem to have a squad that are incapable of playing away from home with out wearing the Argentina style shirts. The record since Gary Johnson was appointed (away from home results only).
In Green – Played 1, Lost 1
In Red – Played 3, Lost 3
In Blue (Home shirt) – Played 2, Lost 1, Drawn 1 In Sky Stripes – Played 3, Won 3
Now you may not believe in coincidences, but I think the evidence is pretty compelling, when the players look like Argentina, they play like Argentina.
Cheers for now.

Response from Darragh:
Hey Nick,
Love your email and believe it or not i am just as superstitious as yourself and tried to have the red kit thrown away a week ago but to no avail and as we know if the home side wear blue we have no choice but to wear Red…
We just have to forget all the superstitions and hope good old fashioned hard work prevails and gets us up with a little help from big man upstairs…
All the best and Keep it Posh.
