Gandalf's alternative match day programmes would be mint!

 

Easy enough for Gandalf, he goes to the games anyway.

 

Yeah, could be an ideal candidate.

Although, do you know whether he has a "smart and presentable appearance" ? Could be a deal breaker!

 

DT thinks so so he must be ok.

 

Didn't have my usual seat for the Brugge game on the 25th Oct and I'm nearly sure Gandalf and DT were sitting almost next to me.

If it was them, they're a good looking couple.

DT is much better than G though.

 

Careful AB, Gandalf will be inviting you round for an 'experimental' evening.

 

A threesome?

 

If it were for June and on I would've applied, unfortunately, I'll be stuck down south till at least June.

 

That's what he'll tell you. Then when you get there he'll answer the door wearing only one of DT's nighties. He'll claim that DT has just popped out to get some wine and will be back in a minute.

After a while of small talk and taking pretend phone calls from DT saying the traffic is awful, he'll show you around the house to pass some time. Whatever you do, do NOT, REPEAT NOT, go down into the 'wine cellar'. The clue is in the fact that DT is supposedly out buying wine, yet they have their very own 'wine cellar'. It is NOT a wine cellar.




Oh, err... I'm not talking from experience, just merely... err... speculating. Yes, that's it. Speculating.

 

Oh well, never mind. Worth a shout.

 

What a dream job for someone! I imagine there'll be quite a bit of competition for it. (Although having spent all his dough on new signings, Mr Ashley may have very little left to pay a journalist. Is Gandalf independently wealthy?)

 

Did you enjoy it though? Was it as good for you as it was for Gandalf?

 

Tash would be good at the match reviews...... LOLOLOLOL

 

Repped you up before I go go,
I'm not planning on going solo,
Repped you up before I go go now,
You'll see me repping tonight....

 

We always buy the exact same seats every time if possible in area B (no, I'm not ******* autistic!), but for one of the European games this season DT had to sit the other side of me because somebody had booked hers... Her wrath was hilarious If it was you AB you should leave the country now!

We were there for the Brugge match, with my brother as well, I think it was the debut of my florescent Ba 19 shirt. Still wear it for home games, should anyone want to buy me pints, or kick me

 

If you've got to go, "You better go now, go now, go now".

 

I'll make it up to her.

 

I was bang up for it until I read the bit at the bottom about the "Enhanced CRB Disclosure"
