Fat Eric

I'd definitely recommend you going there Liam, pisses all over Headingley as a stadium.

I've got day 3 at Headingley this year, hopefully the train strike gets cancelled so I can be in The Original Oak for breakfast at 9, really don't want to have to drive.

2nd test match starts today, really looking forward to it, Trent Bridge is a beautiful ground to watch cricket, always a good atmosphere there too, should be another competitive game, I always think it should be a 5 match series against New Zealand.

I'd rather have had him buy them with no money to bankroll their promotion push than Ashley who will.

I've got a couple of bits of the new England cricket stuff from Castore, decent quality.

If that's bland then I'll settle for it.

Did Mane not come out with his 'massive' news story after the final whistle, as promised?

I thought he'd been dead years for some reason.

RIP.

I thought we didn't want to sign players to keep the treatment room busy anymore?

I don't agree with letting Hutch go, his fitness has been better and I'd still say he's a valuable squad member, will take some replacing.

Got rid of some dross on that list, agree with some of the above comments on Dean, good player at this level but you need someone available for more than 50% of the season, Storey I would love to see back but I think he'll be on to better things.

Surprised about Wildsmith, don't think either him or Dawosn are our number 1 and thought one of them would be moved on.

Penalties are the only thing BPF saves, we'll piss it!!

I was nervous as f@#k for 2 days leading up to Friday night, not got any now, big 1st 20 minutes.

Home from work by 4, couple of Torps in the beer pump to settle the nerves then get Sky on.

Nah, it devalues the achievement of getting to the semi finals, John Parrot had it spot on saying it should drive you on to get to the single table set up, bit like still having the FA Cup semis at neutral grounds and not Wembley.

I've still not forgiven John Parrot for beating Jimmy White in the final 30 odd years ago though, Scouse c#%t 

Didn't remember it being Ticketmaster as always find them shite, site seemed to work fine when I ordered ours though, just remember it not being the Wednesday site.

Can't rightly remember Happy as we're all ST holders and bought online, was sure you could purcgase in person too though, I do remember that the club used See Tickets for online sales instead of the Wednesday site, the only criteria that I can remember for people that were buying with 0 loyalty points was that they had a valid ID number that was issued prior to tickets going on sale to avoid non-Wednesday fans buying tickets.

You could get tickets to the Hull Championship play off final with 0 loyalty points seeing as we got about 40k tickets, wouldn't have thought it'd be that different this time considering the amount of fans either MK or Wycombe would take.

They've been talking about moving it for the past 20 years, I think it's a cracking venue for it, been a fair few times, I know some moan but there's plenty of the players love it too, it has all the history and tradition of the tournament there, that'll all be lost if they start shifting it about.

Funny how trouble follows some people around, he's a proper full weight bellend!

A very young, late 20s I think, Michael Oliver reffed the derby at the Lane when we came from 2 down to 2-2 late on.

 

Agent Wilson moaned after that he was too young to ref a big game like that. They thought the equaliser was a foul on their keeper.  It wasn't. 

That's the one I was thinking of then, I remember their manager moaning that the ref wasn't up to such a high profile match (although I remembered it as Blackwell moaning 😁)

I don’t mind him me. Think he’s a good ref. A bit theatrical at times but has the balls to make the big calls. 
 

never forget him sending killgammon off at ours v piggies 

My memory is shat these days but I thought that was a young Michael Oliver that sent him off?
