Wanderers Ways. Neil Thompson 1961-2021

Recommended Posts

For me the top three are:

 

1 - European Aways

 

Guimaraes was my first, spending the afternoon speaking to wanderers and portuguese folk all over a little picturesque town whilst getting slaughtered on Superbock was great.

 

2 - A good cup run

 

Despite the shocking finish to the season, our last cup run to the semi was great, so was getting to the final in 2004 and even winning a 3rd round tie in January you always think "this could be our year!"

 

3 - Having summat to play for on the last game of the season

 

Whether it be relegation, promotion or a european place, its always good going into the last game knowing you can pull something out of the bag. (this is subject to change at 3pm on Saturday)

 

 

Anymore for anymore?

1) Away games in general, meeting up with the lads, a few beers and a good day out

 

2) Last minute winners - just like against Blackburn

 

3) Horrible teams being relegated - Wolves, Bury, Aldershot all made me chuckle this weekend, just waiting on Wigan now

The most enjoyable thing about football is the DeFreitas factor

 

That feeling when the ball hits the back of the net when at that moment it's the most important thing in the World to you

 

Better than any sex

Individual that second moments have been plentiful over the years. But chungys last min goal against brum meaning Wembley felt amazing. Probably had more memorable moments in other games but because of the timing, its the one that sticks out.

Spending time with mates and/or my old man

 

A beer and a song or two

 

Feeling part of something great that you just couldn't do without hundreds or thousands of others

 

That special feeling of supporting an "unfashionable" club

I erm, almost had something in my eye when that went in.

Meeting likeminded twats who you call by their internet names and thinking nothing of it.

ha ha this always makes me giggle!

 

I'll throw in jumping up and down when a vital goal goes in with someone you have never met and then realising your now nowhere your seat :D

Getting the train from Leyland on an away day, picking up all the not rights on the way from Chorley, Adlington, Horwich, Lostock and Bolton then having a drink in the bar at Piccadilly before getting on the next train.

 

I'm like a dog at the window looking to see how many Whites are getting on the train at each stop.

 

That and last minute goals, Brighton and Blackburn this season stand out.

Sounds very bwfcdan territory that mate about how many whites. Should he be worried?

mental goal moments, for whatever reason, few off top of my head (which I was in attendance at):

 

defraitas v reading

gardner v pne

ricketts v utd

nolan v plovdiv

diouf 2nd goal v newcastle (about 1 min after his first)

davies v munich (bayern)

m davies v blackpool

holden v blackburn

All of the above, and the day the fixtures come out. And those first couple of games where Winter starts to set in and its dark before full time, thinking of the coming months of piss ups and Winter clothing... before the novelty wears off that is. 5am get ups for Brighton away and New Years Eves in Leeds. Not really wanting this season to end!

Last minute goals are always amazing and a feeling never replicated by anything else. Blackburn earlier in the season was mental.

 

Watching an absolute thunderbastard fly into the back of the net where you find yourself applauding even if it's the opposition.

 

a crunching tackle especially on someone like Ronaldo or Suarez where the tackler gets ball, man and a load of mud.

I used to love it when skd charged across the pitch for one of his sliding tackles, the full backs looked terrified.

We knew it was coming, SKD knew it was coming and so did the full back that's what made em belting
