The Hornet's Nest

If you see 2RJ he might give you an anagram of your handle!!

 

hi all


any ideas when the old 606 will close?

 

may I also be the first to declare today that as it's Thursday, it's effectively Friday

this calls for a <redwine.jpg> please Ak if you're around

and back to L*t*n - isn't there just a little bit of you all who secretly longs for derby day again? Take the Sheffield teams - I know it's the third tier, but they'll be loving the thought of those two games next season...and in an era when the Prem seems ever more plastic, ever more ridiculous, and as far removed from reality as is possible, there's plenty of fun to be had in the Football League

 

and although this third post in ten minutes is likely to push my activity up to somewhere near 3% (well done Norway on 99.7% by the way), here's one for the stattos out there - who's our derby match against next year, now that QiPR* (Quick, Ineligible Players Rule) have been promoted? West Ham?


perhaps I can get to #5000 all on my own

 

* if anyone can improve on this, let me know. I just need a word beginning with Q that means 'cheats' and I'll be there

 

I dont remember the derby days as i am too young and only went to 1. But after the Hell we had from the Milwall fans and the horror stories you hear, i am not longing for them to return. A cup game will be enough for me! Also i see more than enough of l*t*n visiting family.

We can get to 5000 posts tonight with no trouble.

 

I can not find a word that is cheat begining with Q. The nearest is swindle with a letter S which is good for Steptoes.

 

magic Ak - that red wine even looks like my favourite BBC606 vintage

 

MILWALL!! its obvious. and you have WH as you say and even Palarse at a push. Third time lucky posting this.

 

I am pleased you are happy with the wine. As Frenchie is on his holidays Norway is overdue for a post and Hornette is not here as well we may have a problem.

 

The derby match is Derby County.

 

very good Ak

I'm well up for multiple posts tonight - I'm going to see if I can set a Personal Best for activity...maybe even get to 5%

 

I am intregued about the points and Exp and activity. can someone explain them to me?

 

no idea at all BHD - it baffles me

Do you reckon Millwall is closer than West Ham? How close is Reading I wonder

And as for only seeing 1 derby match - you didn't miss much...look up the results in the 80's - basically we lost every game 1-0

As I've previously written, my two of my top 3 favourite all time football moments happened vs L*t*n

 

1) L*t*n fan runs onto pitch mid game. Realises there is no one else joining him, he looks like an idiot. He then runs to Vic Rd goal (this is back in the 80s, so our home end) and waves arms in a really rubbish way. Meanwhile two coppers are chasing him. The younger one is running around after him, and the fan keeps getting away. The older copper strides over slowly to him, and basically gets him once the fan has run out of breath. He then takes the fan over to the edge of the pitch in front of the main stand, where there was a little wall to step over. Copper says 'wait here son while I get over'. Fan does as he is told, copper steps over wall. Can you guess what happens next? Yup, that's right, the L*t*n fan ends on the floor - "yes your honour, he fell over the wall, all on his own"

Brilliant

 

I think reading is pushing it a bit far, and i think West ham will be a great match to go to. i have been twice and enjoyed both times. I can not wait to go again (i hope) and join TYO for the first time.

 

2) This one would be early 90s I think. Ball is kicked out by Watford into the Lower Rous - it's a L*t*n throw in. One of the fans (ours - all L*t*n fans are in the Rookery) grabs ball, and holds it out as if to lob it gently to L*t*n player who has run over to take the throw. At the last minute our hero kicks the ball 50 yards in the other direction. To top the moment off, he then turns round to acknowledge the now adoring Rous stand who cheer him to the rafters

L*t*n players not happy, ref not very impressed - best moment of a dismal game (drew 1-1 I think)

Outstanding

 

PS top moment was the moment the ball hit the back of the net at Wembley for Allan Smart's goal - cue mayhem
