Let us give thanks to those of you that helped us to get to 4000 posts in the 20 months of this illegitimate spawn of Irish sportswriting with some of the best and worst of balls gone by.
Strangely it started with a photo of Ronan O'Gara on the rip - here and just yesterday we were required to revisit that theme.
We have guided you through the chicanes of tough rivalries , introduced you to Francesco Machio, Darya Klishina Abdulkarim Alharazi and Larissa Riquelme among others. The latter being one of the most popular posts in the short history of this pseudo marxist organisation.
There has been alternative realities painted, short lived TV ad campaigns, amazing entrances and early knockdowns. A lot of the time we have eagle eyed readers to thank like Rob Lee, who's love affair with the birthdays segment of the Metro led us to this piece of sub editing magic.
Here's to the next 4000, 20 months from now, with less hopes dashed and more of the same crazy shit.
