Just thinking that the other day. Any news????

 

Could be something like

 

Vegas Today at 6pm on ITV allegedly ran with this story

...... In Other news, Vegas Law Enforcement Officers are apparently seeking an elusive mystery punter who has allegedly been spotted in the MGM Grand and other gaming halls running up to big winners asking them to lend him their new found winnings to invest in some Sports Property related business in an unknown British Town called St Mary's.

This alleged hustler is not known to possess any investment licences, and yet has been spotted outside the Stratospere imploring vistors to take him to the Top, or as he says, The Pinnacle.

 

It is believed he may have sold his possessions and airplane ticket in order to pay off gambling debts, he is notable by what appears to be a vest of Red and White colours under a hoodie.

 

He is described as being around 5 feet 8 and a bit, has possibly dyed blonde hair and seems to speak with a Britisher accent. he is not thought to be dangerous, just Lost.

 

Anyone seeing this man should contact the nearest Virgin Atlantic office where his parents have wired him a return ticket

 

Or something like that

I think to save your blushes I would have thought a big charity donation should be made to stop him doing so.

 

Admittedly I did miss two 1 on 1 chances (i don't count the third as it led to the equliaser, remember, when you were 3-2 up?), but i really didn't like the balls. I know a bad workman always blames his tools, but seriously i really couldn't get any height on them and fail to see how the club rates them at £85 each!

 

Alas, if there is to be a game next year you can guarentee i'll be buying one of the balls at the first opportunity.

 

Back to the important point, i'm fairly sure your team conceeded 2 goals in the last 2 minutes, something which if I was on the away team would put down to poor tactical mismanagement in the dying minutes!

The cameras for match recording were at the back of the Kingsland like for any tv recording, IIRC.

 

As for blaming the balls, they were perfect. The problem anyone under 25 has nowadays is they expect to play with something cheap and plasticky that costs £10. I was appalled the one time I took a mid-priced £40 match ball to Fleming Park and the numpties preferred to use some blue balloon! Proper footballs aren't like that.

FACT, bring back the plastic!

 

Which, TBF is like what they used at the 2006 world cup (i've got a replica match ball) and I can really get behind that.

You must have been having a wee when Big Phil Dubya instructed us to give them the head start Nex. HTH

 

We have gone over why we were robbed.

 

WRONG Knickerless. See above.

 

We nearly robbed ourselves actualy Nick, as (to be fair) we underestimated your lot. They weren't actually as bad as we thought they would be.

 

It won't happen next year though as I expect we will only let you get two goals before we start playing. You appear to have clear recollections of the tactical genius of The Gaffer in the closing minutes, but conveniently missed him shouting at me to feign injury so that you could get into our half after 25 minutes. DVD in post - the truth will out.

 

BTW How are ya?

Funnily enough your team were.

Why do you think Granty has held on to the mastertape so long? Nixon was quicker at letting the v evidence out of his grip. Phil and him and the FL will have been editing and reediting it. You watch, it will show the kick off and then the last 2 minutes and a final score of 2-0. No doubt they will airbrush it to show Fos1 with a full head of hair, you with brown hair and me and OOhTerry looking as though we are carrying a little ballast.There will be a twenty minute after match interview with Phil telling them all about Bullfrogs and Tiger Woods and then a clip of me walkinmg away throwing the headphones off after the interviewers tough questions.

As someone who forked out for some £70 FA Match-standard Mitre balls last season - and previously did the same for the £40 adidas Questra 1994 World Cup ball and its 1998 equivalent, I can confirm that the adidas balls are a fair bit lighter than the mitre ones - and also an absolute pain in the ar5e to use on anything other than a perfect pitch.

 

Give me a decent Mitre ball any day. I've only used replica Nike balls so can't really comment on the Prem ball (of which there is another new style this season) though.

I'm coming back for work & the FP final - sure would be nice to be able to collect my copy while I'm there.

 

It's been so long, I'm dying to see what nickh looked like when he still had hair and when Foxy didn't need a Zimmerframe to get about, but better be quick, the eyesight's fading these days and the airlines need a medical certificate before you fly when you get over 90.

 

How are Nexstar's Grandchildren doing? Did his lad make it into the Academy?

 

have we appointed our new manager yet?

etc

That's the point - this chinese bloke came round last night. He had a copy, trouble was it was made by some bloke holding a cam corder, Granty really needs to do the washing up...

 

And ah don't worry Nexstar - 16 years experience of the International postal system, I'm getting it sent to a mate in London. Mind you they're moving in August.....

 

arrggh

I just got offered a copy by Knock off Nigel. The first twenty minutes is of Granty comparing his boots to the other players ones in your squad.In the background there is Fos1 knocking back a litre bottle of Philisan and doing stretching excercises. 'One toe,, two toes....that's enough' The rest is lost by the sound of all his bones cracking and creaking. The Scudamore is wandering around trying to sell his programmes, he wipes away a tear as he realises that the profits are soon to be losses. It then does a 1 minute of action of the game and 20minutes of injury time due to Hamsters tackling and DrogBaj's many niggles. It glosses over the underhanded substitution but goes straight to the winning goal , which is missed by the camera man ...and our keeper.

After showing the jubilant home dressing room and them celebrating their unbelievable luck you get a flash of Phil coming out of the refs room wiping something from the corner of his mouth..... I assume a smile. We then get a 30 second interview by Phil that a cheshire cat would be proud of, and then a 10 second flash of me with an expression of a cat licking crap off a nettle.

Hardly worth waiting for, in fact Im told that next years version will be sent out before this ones. Its a bit like the Star Wars films the last one first and the first one last type of thing.

You see - it all went wrong for you from the moment the cute chick and highly competent organiser (ie the really great organiser who's name I forgot) told us no booze allowed inside the changing rooms.

 

The only place quiet enough to sneak a dozen Jaegerbombs was of course Steve MacLaren's office (sorry ref's room). 4 quid at duty free - bargain.

 

Guess you missed Granty allegedly having the bath in Champagne with the chick as well on the DVD. Shame it's on our copy, delicately edited of course

I did see the champers in the changing room you were pouring out. None was offered in consolation to me though!!! I went back to ours and had some warm still lager Foxy had found for me, i tried to offer it to the rest of my team but they wouldnt have any and said I deserved it most due to my efforts. Top lads, i drunk it in one and they found something funny. it must have been as I spilt a drip on my shirt.

I missed that one.

 

like you missed the ok sign from the ref for the substitution, and the non-stop shirt pulling by most of your players...

 

:)

 

YES - been waiting MONTHS to get those in, He shoots - He scores!

 

Meanwhile, where IS Granty? Must be back from Vegas by now

No its taken you months to think up an excuse to hide behind the dirty tricks campaign waged on our fine side. As for the sign by the ref to do the substitution it should be done during a break in play not during it.The ref was Mr Dim and thought you were asking for him to come back on after an injury, not a sub.

He shoots he scores..that cant be aimed at your forwards.Your lot played more air shots than my wife on a driving range.

Any news on the DvD?

 

Yes, apparently a recording of Sir Trevor doing News At Ten and telling us Maggie just got elected, it's been THAT long..

 

Ooops sorry forgot, I was banned from a computer tonight by EoA as been to a 70's night birthday party at Rock Bottoms dressed as Jimmy Hendrix with free booze and annoyingly got my photo in the National Press, Timeout and Hello Magazine (local version) under most wanted. How odd - dress up like a **** in a silly wig and become most wanted - damn, should have done that years ago
