  1. LWD LWL LWD LWD LW? Looks a bit inconsistent to me, so hopefully a Win tomorrow but looks a nailed on Draw. Dougie'll sort it.
  2. Ok Ok delete this thread for god's sake!!!!!! I feel really small.
  3. You seeing that that 50 year old that stretched your wet suit in Reading a few weeks back? The one with the mate who asked if I'd like to play with her 34Gs!
  4. You're right I did and my head feels good this morning, well sort of. It's rare that something comes in front of a sesh but yesterday was one of those days I'm afraid. Hope you were a good lad for a change ???!!!
  5. Yep. Had 'em in Welcome Stores, corner of Laburnum Road and Plodder Lane. Brown packet, white writing, IIRC!
  6. Sent the info so let's see what happens. Cheers!
  7. Played with SJM as my Player / Manager at the Reebok in one of those Football Aid things, had a beer with him at the Ryder Cup years back at The Belfry and best memory was in the hotel on Bradshawgate after last game at the Reebok when he got the staff to get a plate load of sarnies in about 3 on Saturday morning. His mum and dad were there and sound as a pound but unfortunately he lost them both soon after IIRC. Top bloke. Only memory of Thommo was the night before the League Cup semi-final at Swindon. He was battered and needed carrying back to the hotel. Now I felt shit in the morning and just needed to get to Swindon for the match. He was playing! Ok, ok a few of the others had a few that night and we got beat after Stubbs? scored early on. Wouldn't happen now under our Dougie. Getting pissed before a big match I mean not getting to a semi-final!
  8. I don't know how to mate tbh. Let me know and I will. Liverpool have been there past couple of weeks so best get in there quick.......
  9. Luke Williams - next off the Hayes & Yeading conveyor belt? Had his billy big bollocks problems as a young lad but back on the straight and narrow now and a good lad. Been watching this lad and he's the spit of McAteer in how he plays and gets around the park. Takes set plays too. Other clubs watching so hope Dougie has him on the radar and gets in there quick.
  10. Didn't Peter Shilton turn out for us against Wolves in Play Offs when he was about 43?
  11. If we even consider him then I'm off as a BWFC fan for good. It'll be tough after 40 odd years but I will. Plenty of dealings in football with that twat to last a lifetime. Doesn't give a shit for anyone else apart from himself. If PG reads this and whats facts about him then he can PM me and I'll let in know what a self-centred, greedy, egotistical prick the geezer is.
  12. Two hour train trip for me but having second thoughts as its hammering it down ...
  13. Might be on my tod if The True Marple White can't make it! Anyone else going and any meeting pubs planned?? Thorpey
  14. Bloody 'ell there's a name from the past. Was at Smithills Grammar with him (assuming we're talking Julian). Only lad that got on the long, black and white photo thing twice by legging it round the back. Still got it and he was a stocky unit then. Smashing lad and IIRC it was him that phoned the school one Weds lunch saying there was a bomb on the premises .... it was raining so we all knew it was cross country rather than footie and he didn't like that much! Place got evacuated with cops on roof etc while we ended standing out in the rain.
  15. Don't get it! To me a DJ plays records and now you saying his music is shite. He plays shite records? I couldn't see sod all for loads of flashing lights, don't even now if the geezer was on the stage tbh, so no idea if he was DJing, singing or what?
  16. Mrs's brother invites us to Newbury races in box, free food and drink - no contest. Turns out when I get there Calvin Harris is on stage after the racing. Asking a younger one who he is, she's says he's a DJ. I'd never heard of him and didn't have a clue whether this meant he just turned up on stage playing a few records or what. Did stay in box to watch end of England match and then watched from balcony. Never heard of Calvin Harris and stayed in box with free drink as seemed by far best option. Does this now mean I'm a miserable old clueless git?
  17. Mate's light blue Vauxhall Chevette from Reading, 50mph max and got there just as big gates opened for a freebie about 10 mins before kick off. Caught by an alsation on the fence after the pitch invasion. Thrown out but copper told me how to get back in. No idea what happened after. Happy days!
  18. You'll be right there JJO! Just got this and glad I stayed at home so I can drown my sorrows and get some kip before an early start tomorrow. I can add 6 of my lot to the Berkshire whites clan if there is one ..... London Whites is as close as it gets for me down here I think.
  19. Managed to get a copy of the 1923 programme on a school trip from St Simon & Judes in 70s. Long day out on a coach that but let us go up the steps and lift a (not the) cup with crowd noise coming out the speakers. Always remember it. Probably couldn't pass it off as the real thing although might have a pop on ebay and see what happens.
  20. I know they had a bit to celebrate but fair play to Madjeski and McDermott for going to a town centre bar and are still standing at 3.50am after Reading got their promotion on Tuesday night! Madjeski obviously had a few! I know Coyle is teetotal but I can't see our two doing it. http://www.youtube.com/results?uploaded=w&search_type=videos&uni=3&search_query=brian+mcdermott+bar
  21. Think it was 2 - 0 and the game when I couldn't get a ticket so called Wolves ticket office, strapped a plaster cast round me leg, borrowed some crutches and went in as disabled. Free parking space, tickets for two etc. Naughty I know but a mans got to do ......... Did get ejected for my own safety near the end! Ripped the plaster off by the gate and jumped in the car. Didn't look back to be honest so god knows what the look on the stewards faces were like! Good shot on me and my 'carer' (the then bird) sat behind the netting when we notched the 2nd on the Roadrunner VHS!
  22. Didn't know someone had. Poor sod. Been in the boozer since about 12.30 and just got back. Hope it wasn't.
  23. Stood there watching the dregs of Reading half marathon coming through the 8 mile marker 2 hours in, when I spot a fat lad wearing a Wolves shirt. Short chorus of "We are the one and only Wanderers" put an extra step in his stride and clenched fist salute as he approached. Look on his face when he heard " 3 2 to the Wanderers" ... priceless! Missus said I should know better going up for 50 and called me a big kid.
