Got on the tube at 6.15 thinking i'd got plenty of time to go the 13 stops to the ground.
35 minutes an 3 stops later we were advised to find alternative transport due to problems at earl's court.
So i'm now on a bus going in the right direction, but not far enough.
Hope the problems are severe enough for them to delay the kick off.

Best bets to get off at the next stop and head home. We havent gone for a game, Megson...I mean Burrows has seen to that.

:icon_eek: I didn't even realise he still player for us. The useless fecker
 
well why are the other 39 or however many useless feckers still here :102:

he may have had a poor start, but i guarantee that he would perform 10 times better than kenton does tonight.

Would you honestly rather see Kenton in midfield!!:eek: ahead of Kishi? :confused:
your probably right.worst of a bad bunch for me mate :icon_conf
 
I really think we will do well to keep it below 10. :(
