They do it to patronise us too

But then, there's a line from Kevin Baldwin's The Second Coming that sums this up: "Get a reputation as an early riser, and you can stay in bed til noon". And alarmingly, it doesn't just apply to us playing "passing attractive football": it means we regularly get praised for being such a "well run club" too. Hmm...
