Highly charged and tense game last night. We all got thoroughly despondent after AC scored in the first minute and then followed it up with two more goals. The best we hoped for was a goal from liverpool to restore some pride.

Cue Gerard with an astonishing header which revitalised his team and spurred them on to some decisive play and getting them back to 3-3. Whereupon they reverted to defense and (only just) survived til penalties.

Prompted by Carragher, Dudek performed Grobbelar-style gyrations on the goalline and succeeded in saving 2 and causing 1 to be kicked over the bar.

El Crunch was ecstatic and most pleased.

Dodman, if any waterfights occur today, be sure to retrieve my grey gun and get them while their backs are turned!

Waterfight! who? what! outrageous!

i’ll look in to the font size. I forget I have to allow for the aged demographic;-)

Slightly & Pliskin: I propose that we convene for the watching of the final. As I see it, the options are: Gainsford, Kestrel Court, The Globe or The Barnham Bridge Inn (or whatever it is called).

Any preferences? Obviously, as it doesn’t require me to move more than a couple of paces, i’d vote for Gainsford.

Whilst shaving off my beard I took the opportunity to craft some nifty styles…

pretty standard…

biker look…

hilarious!

slightly hitler like…

haven’t seen this yet but it looks darn good…

err ok, i take it back – it’s terrible!

i’m not sure anyone can claim to have named crud, the name pretty much evolved. Though I’m fairly sure that the first occurrence would have been uttered by myself or solid, something along the lines of “… some sort of crud tennis!” actually the more i think of it, the more i remember that it was me!
