  1. Seen some shite pre-season but hopefully make it over to Austria for a couple of games.

     

    Worst for me has got to be Pompey away about 3 or 4 years back when they only had 4 or 5 players signed on and the rest were trialists.

     

    We got dicked 3 - 0 IIRC.

  2. I was out with Robin Friday's ex-missus last night and the film is definitely going ahead with Sam Claflin playing him.

     

    She's only getting £5k for her story with no royalties which seems a bit mean, but she has had some of the story written out as she doesn't want the grand kids seeing her character being thrown naked onto the bed or being banged up against a wall!

     

    Good girl Liza and has one of the best nicknames going - Kronenbourg - for looking 16 from the back and 64 from the front!

     

    You still would though!

     

    HBAHT - peanuts.

  3. Graham Westley - can't stand that c***.

     

    Robbed Farnborough Town of all their gate receipts from a FA Cup game at Highbury and then f*cked off with 8 of the first team when he bought into Stevenage.  Then got £53m when his dad died and still wouldn't pay back what he owed.

     

    Tw*t of the highest arrogant order.

  4. Worked for a pal.

     

    We were out playing golf and he couldn't swing his arms when club was behind the ball but ok with a practice swing.

     

    This lad is a slow player at the best of times, so thought he was winding me up.

     

    "Just fuckin hit it" didn't help him but 45 mins with a hypnotist did.  Wierd really.

  5. Right that's it for away games for me this season.

     

    Thought we started ok but kin ell how quick did we go downhill.

     

    Big clear out needed and if this fuckin train doesn't hurry up I'm screwed getting home.

     

    Fair play to those that travelled down. Decent turn out tbh.

  6. Lennon clarified the reasoning for Barry Bannan and Neil Danns’ absence from the matchday squad.

     

    “We’ve dealt with that issue internally. We set standards at the club and whilst we don’t mind players going out and socialising, there’s a line that you simply can’t cross.

     

    “The players have been disciplined and we’ll look at it next week.”

     

    On the piss then.

  7. Greavsie had a testimonial against an All Stars team a few days after one of the promotion near misses in either 76 or 77 so it was a bit flat to put it mildly

     

    The crowd at Tottenham was just over 50,000 their biggest league crowd for 3 years.Yeah they got lower crowds against Arsenal and Man Utd the last couple of season.I was on WHite Hart Lane that day, kin Don McAllister scored their goal.Id love to see the Burnden match on Tv if anyone has a link

     

    I remember Don McAllister's twin nieces very well from the later 70s early 80s.  Amanda and Deborah (can't remember which one was my early on grapple, etc.) lived down the bottom of Windermere Road in Farnworth.  Just done a little google search and still very decent.

  8. Steward pal of mine on left got a bollocking from his boss for laughing at this lad doing somersaults on the pitch before grabbing him!

     

    Also got two broken ribs after taking an elbow from him.

     

    Not only did the lad get nicked for going on the pitch but a quantity of foil wrapped white powder fell out of his pocket when he was somersaulting.  Silly sod.

  9. Phone sky up

    Tell them you are moving to virgin

    They wont want you to move

    Sky will knock a load off your bill

     

     

    Use your noggin

     

    I tried this and spent a while checking the virgin package I was going to tell Sky I was getting.

     

    Call went along the lines of;

     

    "I'm leaving for Virgin so want to cancel my Sky TV, Phone and Broadband"

    "Let's see if there's anything I can do Sir ..................... no there's nothing we can do as you can't get Virgin at your address"

    "Ok I'll stay as I am, bye"

     

    Probably worth a check on the Virgin site first! 

  10. In the same respect while it would have been better had the ticket lady not had to put up with my and Thorpey's behaviour it is sadly a hazard of the job, that on a Saturday night anybody working on public transport or in the emergency services or in the hospitality industry is going to have a more difficult time then early afternoon on a Thursday.

     

     

    Oi I was the sensible one backing you up.  I only took her photo for a laugh 'cos she was a right little fitty.

  11. So putting this Dan thing to bed;

     

    Had ticket, wrong train, asked to pay £59.50 and said 'I'd rather jump out of the train window (jokingly) to the really fit and young ticket inspector.  Had been asked to get off at Leicester and wait 2 hours for the right train rather than stay on an empty train so hid in the toilet.  Just came out 10 mins early before we arrived on London,  That's it.

     

    Photo was taken as the two of them were having a bit of banter.  That's it,

     

    Dan's a good lad who makes the effort to attend all away games and is learning the way of the world in terms of beer, banter, football, beer, banter, home.

     

    To those of you who slag of a fellow Wanderer who shows more dedication to the cause than the vast majority of you, you should be ashamed if you know how events occur on an away day.  If you think you're right to criticise then maybe a BWFC forum is not the place for you.  Political correctness and football banter do not mix.

  12. My neighbour's built a big fuck off extension on his house on the back of laying this stuff for a living.

     

    Barter on the price if you're getting it done.

     

    He hasn't but that's probably because we live on the side of a big steep hill.
