(I missed saying that :thumbup1: )

[leigh]

Wotcha PB!

I probably owe loads of apologies to everyone at the Pacific Road gig, so here we go:

Sorry to your mate who came along but I didn't see her.

Dur.

Sorry to Linn, who did turn up and then lost me.

Dur.

Sorry to Critch for not being able to talk in any recognisable language to him.

Dur.

Sorry to the organisers for looking for trouble.

Dur.

Sorry to Harpic for not being able to recognise him.

BUT...

NOT sorry to the fat-arsed ugly bouncer (gagging for a bad hiding) who wouldn't let me go back stage to talk to Nick.

There.

I think that's it.

:w00t:

[HarperPR]

And dur, Critch wasn't there. That was Craig and Croog I introduced!

And duh, not the bloody footie mob - arghhhh!!!

[critch]

Thanks leigh! But yeah i wasn't there! Sorry!

[leigh]

Eep! :w00t:

Bloody 3-1 to hopeless, hopeless Reading?

Could it be the Stormcock ju-ju is actually Mighty Reds anti-vibe?

I think we should be told before tomorrow night's crucial fixture.

[SteveT]

You want to see Reading get beaten? You should pop down to Fratton Park from time to time. We put SEVEN past them! :w00t:

[scotpaulabear]

Gee, I think it's time to revive this thread...

:party:

Chelsea - go go go the boys! East or West, the Blues are best!:biggrin:

Chelsea - go go go the boys! East or West, the Blues are best!:biggrin:

is that the best they could come up with.... hardly "YOULL NEVER WALK ALONE" is it? crikey... its not even as good as "im forever blowin"

you can get tablets for it ya know...

[HarperPR]

Come on the mighty Blues! Show those rubbish Reds - who can't seem to win a game without going to penalties! :D - what the beautiful game's all about.

PS: why's this thread in General?

[madness]

What a load of no swearing!
That's strike one - pd

Not any more it isn't - thanks, I'd not spotted it having naturally ignored anything sport related, no matter the forum!

WhatEVER. Talk to the hand cos the 5 EUROPEAN CUPS ain't listenin'... :thumbup1:

[dim]

well the jammy, flukey little *($£$"£"£'s

outclassed, outplayed and fluke an own goal at the end.. well, we always planned scoring one at no atmosphere bridge.. now we just have to score 2...

and can someone please by the chelsea fans a dvd of torres's goals this year...

HOW MANY PENALTIES???????

Bleeding fairweather rich kids playthings...

[HarperPR]

Thanks, Liverpool!!! An own goal, how very VERY inept.

Now where's Paul put those laughing yer head off smilies.:biggrin::D

[scotpaulabear]

There's two rounds for a reason. I doubt even you would debate that Liverpool were the better team for most of the game, had most of the decent chances, and Chelsea were feckin' jammy that we f'd up.

And lucky the wind wasn't stronger, or I suspect Drogba might have snapped in half, the diving wee sh*BEEP*.

In the immortal words of Daffy Duck, I hope you realize, *this* means war...

[HarperPR]

No, I wouldn't as I don't much care either way! I only have a (very very) slight allegiance to the Blues as they were THE team of my teens. Then later when I started work, part of one company was home to a footie agent who represented two of my Chelsea heroes. Big thrill to meet my idols. One who was lovely and so nice, now sadly deceased. The other was another George Best and became an alcoholic, but he was the David Beckham of his time.

[Barry]

Linn, I take it you are referring to the late great Peter Osgood?

[HarperPR]

Linn, I take it you are referring to the late great Peter Osgood?

Ossie - The Giraffe - yes! Lovely guy. He'd of course left Chelsea by then though.

[Wee Steve]

That had to be one of the greatest OGs I've ever seen, both for timing and for execution.

By the way, I thought Drogba was supposed to have been cured of his tendency to, not to put too fine a point on it, CHEAT. If last night was anything to go by, he's developing a whole new range of "let's try to con the ref" techniques.

Torres. Mmm.

As a neutral observer, I have been very impressed this season, particularly because, watching him on Sky last year at Athletico Madrid, he was the sort of player who fell over if a defender looked at him from a range of 5 yards. At least he seems to have got over that and scored some great stuff this year. But last night, he didn't really turn up, did he? apart from one magnificent ghosting past about five SW London statues. God! I hate Chelsea.

On much more important matters, what are AFC Wimbledon's chances of promotion now?

You know you're busted when even the commentary team is taking the piss out of you... :wink:

[aspwatterson]

Pompey v Cardiff at Wembley..an all blue FA Cup final with all the Reds under their beds! Probably will support Pompey but still be happy for Cardiff if they dare and snatch it! Is it true that the winner is automatically in Europe next year so Pompey would not have to worry about their League performance placing?

sounds like a typical chelsea fan lacking in any sort of enthusiasm towards their team.. no wonder passionless bridge is so dull and boring, and voted the most characterless ground in the world...

so if youre not a proper chelsea fan youre not allowed to say anything about liverpool , so there :P

to barrack the opposition you have to be blue blooded through and through...

My blood is pure red :D

[scotpaulabear]

Coincidence, that, so's mine :biggrin: :54:

Yes, the winners go into the UEFA Cup.

Alan Hudson?

[scotpaulabear]

White stripes? More red sox :wink:

[HarperPR]

Alan Hudson?

Yeah. He was gorgeous once.:( It was a whole different ballgame then.

[scotpaulabear]

Since I love a good ruck... hee hee :smash:

COME ON YOUUUUUUUU REDS!
:thumbup:

[aspwatterson]

Well tonight's the night and lets hope there's more excitement than last night although at least Scum United got through for the English dominance of Europe this season.

andi

ps Did you see the inventor of LSD died yesterday at the grand age of 102!

[Wee Steve]

Are you sure he really died?

I expect he was really consumed by a 15-legged pink, green and purple scorpion.

[Wee Steve]

My main wish for tonight's game is that Drogba and Ashley Cole get their come-uppance for all their play acting, whingeing and general bad sportsmanship, that John Terry discovers that you can be a captain without screaming in the face of the referee, and that Roman Abramovich discovers how to wear a tie.

God, I hate Chelsea.

But at least AFC Wimbledon have reached the play off final in the Ryman League. Away to Staines on Saturday.

Q: How do you defeat Staines?
A: Try Vanish Pink.

OK I'll shut up now.

[dim]

drogba falls over every twenty seconds.. first goal offside, penalty not given for liverpool... rafa did warn us the ref was an idiot...

for once i actually hope man utd win the european cup... at least they have class... chelsea have form built on russian millions... and drogba is an cheating idiot hopefully rio will kick the hell out of him.. :D

Form is temporary...

Class is permenent....

Youll never walk alone!

[Wee Steve]

Frightening, isn't it?

But I have to agree. What a bunch of prima donnas in blue shirts.

Ugh, with a capital Y.

[scotpaulabear]

Gutted, just... gutted :crying:

I will just have to console myself with my other Reds(ox) until the autumn... *siiiiigh*

[aspwatterson]

God, I hate Chelsea.
Q: How do you defeat Staines?
A: Try Vanish Pink.

Don't worry Man U will sort them out in Russia in the rain, snow whatever!

Crap joke time
Q : How do you get two whales in a mini?
A :Over the Severn Bridge to see Cardiff FC

Q : What's Pompey's football ground backwards?
A : Crap not 'alf !

Hmmmm... want to have a closer look at that one Andi?

Crap! Not arf!!

Yeah, sorry I did realise, but had no time to edit man!! Depends how you pronounce 'Half' and 'Harf' I suppose and which part of the country you're from pastorally, linguistically, intrinsically indigeneously. I always say the glass is 'alf full and not 'arf empty because I'm a Southern positive mega-male negative trying to look at things positively when everything is negative around you all surrounding! Mind you when I went North I loved the way they pronounced things like for a stove in Bolton as a 'cooooooooker' like wood pidgeon English!

chrs
aw :m8:

[SteveT]

Surely it depends on how you spell Fratton Park?

[aspwatterson]

Surely it depends on how you spell Fratton Park?

Please don't starting getting pedantic frantic! It's all phonetics anyway man!

Was in a rustic public bar recently in the Berkshire countryside near Highclere and couldn't understand a word the local farmers were saying and I only live 10 miles away in civilised Hampshire! Could have come right of Cromwellian time for all that I Know..

andi :thumbup1::m14::sifone:

Staines 1 AFC Wimbledon 2

Up where we belong.

Yay, proper Wimbledon rises again :thumbup1:
And I used to live near Staines *shudder* so please beat them anytime you like LOL.

[leigh]

Anway, as I was saying...only last year,
We need to win something next season.
Innit.
How are we all?

[aspwatterson]

If there any gamblers out there and you put £10 down for the above score and Kanoo to get the first goal you win back £390!! Come on the Blues!! Which one though? Still in two minds...I think a safer bet would be Portsmouth to score without Cardiff scoring anything, but who knows as anything can happen in the glorious game.


andi [under medication :m20:]

[SteveT]

I got 33-1 on a Pompey win. That was nine months ago though.

Wot was your stake then? A grand? Bet you wish it were now. I am not a gambling man myself, one of the vices I've actually managed not to get a hold of me but did put a tenner once on Mansfield Town at 2500 to 1 and they did nearly get there.


andi :drool5: Pompey blue blood :m3: Play up Pompey:m21:Welsh harp
:nopity:Pompey chimes Cardiff FC

[HarperPR]

Andi, you still recovering from your victory!

There'll be another blue team victorious next Wednesday too!:biggrin:

[SteveT]

Brilliant day yesterday. Cynical, miserable moaning git that I usually am, I loved the whole occasion - the flag waving, the singing (but not the warbling women that did Abide With Me and the National Anthems), the ticker-tape, the hugging strangers at the end, the kids with face paint, the idiots in fancy dress, the cars, vans, buses all decked out in Pompey regalia, the messages of congratulations from strangers and friends I haven't spoken to for ages...... all of it was absolutely wonderful, oh, and the football too!

Nice weather for a victory parade to Southsea common this afternoon.

Now for Europe..... to be continued.

[SteveT]

Wot was your stake then?

That would be telling! I had the same stake each way as well so in the end I got back about 25 times what I gambled (but it wasn't a huge amount).

[aspwatterson]

Nah! Lost the bet and should have gone for 1 - 0 even though I got Kanoo as a scorer I subesequently bet 2 - 0.

Wish I was down Southsea Common this afternoon celebrating in Brains beer tents!!

Not in the Steve Claridge league then?

[SteveT]

I'm in a league of my own - and I'm usually nearer the bottom than the top of that.

[Barry]

In amongst all the joyous reporting of Pompey winning the cup, the daily mail ran a story about Alan Hudson having to sell his medals to stay afloat and the fact that Chelsea with all their billions have not helped one of their favourite sons.
Not only does this reflect the sad state of football but the picture of him looked truly awful, he is almost 57 but looked much, much older.
After a wonderful weekend this bought me to earth with a bump.

[Wee Steve]

As I've said before, I hate Chelsea, and that news just confirms my detestation.

But, at another level, my second favourite team, after AFC-W, the Grecians from the other St James Park, made it back where they belong in the Football League.

Two promotions in one season. I can now watch the cricket in peace and hope that the Moscow final is a boring 0-0 draw AET, and that they all miss their penalties so that the gruesome gum-chewing dictator of Old Trafford has to wrestle Avram Grant to decide the outcome, with Grant to win by one fall and a submission.

[Bob Jacobs]

I just typed a long reply to this but on trying to post, had to refresh page and log in again, losing said post. Harumph. Anyway, well done Exeter City! When I return home next weekend I trust I'll find a properly proud city :-)
