GL with the hangover. I must try to keep my drinking manageable this evening, Monday was a horror.

Wagner wouldn't like a shot at the PL if you progress? He's done great; would seem odd for him to back out (are there other reasons, family etc?).
Prospect of Schteve at Terriers is humbling; you can't ever be too comfortable or happy a fan. Danger looming around the corner is part of football's nasty deal iirc.

xpinspired substitution of the season was that, but Quaner is probably about 6 inches taller than Henry and is thin as a lat! He isn't a fan of having high balls lumped into the box either, which is unforgivable for such a tall player according to some of our eejit fans.
Wagner is currently living away from his family in Germany and has no intention of uprooting his teenage daughter from her school, even for a shot at the prem. Obv with his rep enhanced times a thousand at the moment, there will be a shitload of Bundesliga giants that will take him in a shot. Yeah, Schteve would be such a retrogressive step back to the mediocre old days of A Nother wasteman/pretender stealing a wage.

Haha I read that as "a Northern wasteman" which would have been a surprising tack for you to take.

it would an appropriate epithet for loads of our ex-managers though, tbh.

nice one Exeter! I didn't feel like watching e/t + another pen shootout tbh.

good luck hudds and exeter in the finals
but above all,
good luck bradford
― imago, Thursday, 18 May 2017 21:45 (seven years ago) link
definitely yeah. I don't like Bradford with below us status, would much prefer getting back to the business of hating them!
― calzino, Thursday, 18 May 2017 21:58 (seven years ago) link
I don't suppose I'll ever enjoy watching a game with n the pub as much. The place we were in had maybe 50 Carlisle and 20 Exeter fans, but the way the game went made it amazing, they were giving us some when they equalized but they had to eat it all back up off the floor.
I may be in my cups.

There was a piece on Radio 4 this morning about Portsmouth's possible sale from supporter ownership to some ex-Disney dude. Classic bit in which Barry Hearn said he thought Pompey should bite the hand off this "investor", seconds later he was talking about how he had thought the bloke he sold Orient to was exactly the right buyer. Hmmmm....
In other news, this morning I felt very buzzy and excited after last night; this afternoon's experience suggests that actually I was still just drunk.
― Tim, Friday, 19 May 2017 16:37 (seven years ago) link
I'm glad they are turning R4 into talksport because it couldn't get much worse at the moment anyway. It is funny how so much of the population that seem think national austerity is just what we need guv. But as soon as some rich sociopath turns up at their club with promises of arms race style wasting of millions they are like "bite their hand off!".
The last time I went to Wembley I packed a thermos flask full of red wine and a pop bottle full of courvoisier for on the coach. Not much chance of getting a hangover with the £5+ pints of watery lager at Wembley, and I'm going by 2012 prices there.
― calzino, Friday, 19 May 2017 19:25 (seven years ago) link
Sounds like a plan, I remember going to Wembley as a kid in the 80s and my dad having an eppy when somebody tried to charge him a quid for a can of pop
― The Remoans of the May (Noodle Vague), Friday, 19 May 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link
They hadn't put the prices up by last year, although they did have some sort of weird system in place to try and stop you buying multiple drinks at once.

you'll never believe it but it's why yes finely poised exactly how did u know
bradford obv the better side having most of the play but wall with the better chances, couple of sitters and now it's just getting bitty and tense etc
wall have yet to take john sitton's classic advice and bring on fred onyedinma (who qpr are signing on a free after this game supposedly)

he never stays anywhere too long does Webber. Overrated huckster who made some good decisions and made some bad, now he is just repeating the formula - albeit on massiver wages!

got to say though, bullshit merchant or not Wagner and VLP were great acquisitions, but Wagner's own signings have been great value as well.

local coverage on the next Leeds manager will supersede lil old us, even if we get promoted to the prem on monday. We have to do it just rub some manure all over those bitter Whites involved with local BBC.

There is something very UKIP about Monk's attitude and mannerisms that really grinds my gears, but getting into the politics of footballers/managers is a probably a complete waste of energy.

The security goons at Wembley seemed a bit keen last time, one of them accused me of being too drunk which was only about half right. I am going have a good drink but maybe a bit less than last time. It sounds like taking any bags is a no as well, wouldn't even be sure if you could leave one in a locker at Victoria station atm. Probably travelling light will be the order of the day.

Thanks. It'll be a weird one with 17-18000 of us and about 6000 of Blackpool. Would rather be playing Blackburn than Forest Green next year but it doesn't fee like the biggest deal for some reason. Still excited though, obv.
