Remember Taribo West? So does our man on the terraces at Home Park, although not in too fond a light.

FOOTBALL 2005 Championship Plymouth Taribo West - 0

Where will you finish this season - and who do you expect to get promoted?

I think that we'll finish just above the relegation places. Maybe 19th but it's a tough call. I don't think that we will go down as we have enough about us to pick up the points we need. I'd expect to see Wolves go up and I would like to see Sheffield United steal the other automatic spot as they have played well of late. It would be nice to see Burnley go up as well. They have impressed fans and pundits alike this season by playing some good football with a small squad.

Who is the worst player to have pulled on the shirt in your lifetime?

It's got to be Taribo West. What a joke that was. There was a lot of excitement when he signed for us and we got some good media coverage as well. As it turned out no one seemed to know how old he was and judging by his performances I'd guess at near 50. He isn't the player with the least ability I have seen but, for the disappointment of it he's got to be at the top of the list.

Tell us an interesting fact about your club, or something that sets it apart from the others.

I think that since Hull got promoted Plymouth may now be the biggest city to have never had a club playing top flight football. I'm pretty sure this is the case in England and may even be the case for the whole of Europe. Pretty depressing really.

What is your favourite chant? (nothing obscene!)

Being the southern-most Football League team in England it always amuses me when we chant 'dirty northern .....' at teams that are also from the South. Some fans get the humour in it, others just get confused. We had an amusing chant about Peter Halmosi last season which referred to him being able to, ahem, take our wives and going back a few more years I used to like our chant for Canadian international Jason Bent which alluded to him bearing a slight resemblance to Edgar Davids.

Describe the standard of food and drink at your ground: what do you advise hungry visiting supporters to munch on?

As with most football grounds it is over priced rubbish. I'd advise visiting supporters to avoid the food in the stadium at all costs. There is more to the humble pasty than Ginsters my friends! Anyone feeling peckish should either pick up a pasty from one of the vans parked on the roads leading up to the ground, or, venture in to the city centre where there are plenty of bakers who, for a small charge, will show you that their is indeed life beyond Ginsters and supply the hungry customer with a fine pasty!

Love your club? We are recruiting fans from each Championship club to have their say. If you are dedicated enough to share your thoughts on your club's fortunes, send an email to viewfromtheterraces@yahoo.co.uk.

Include your team name as the subject and add your name, the town you live in and why you should be chosen as a representative of your club.
