Been 3 years till mine. Back to UK (to renew p/port) A whoooosh trip. There 19-29 Sept. Plan to take in the vs Stoke & Swansea games....sure !!! > So......expats......when you last get back UK to see a game? >> Comm over here: when yees last see a game on home soil, marra? BTW: not posting much! Read every day though. Some gooood lads on this site.
League cup final at wembley for me.........absolutely magic, except for the result, Try to go to the stadium when i'm back in england if we are at home. But family commitments make it sometimes difficult. Gonna be even more difficult in the future 'cos I'll be in Thailand like you!
March 2012, QPR home 3-1 Couple of beers in the Colliery b4 the game Used to be Boilermakers, then later Navy club and after the move the Good Companions before the match Bendtner Whickam? i think not sure if right, Tarabt got a beauty for them, paid £17 to sit right on the halfway line in the upper tier, might have got away with it, we got asked if we were pensioners, said no but think he did them for us anyway Probaly be Sept 2015 before I get to another, 1 of few gthings I miss
My last game mate was a 2-2 at the SOL against Everton..Nov 2010..came back here a week later, never been back to the UK since. A team that consisted of Henderson, Bolo, Bent and Welbeck.. A Steve Bruce team, and not a bad one at that... When will be my next? Pah, nee idea.
Everton at the SOL December 2012 finished 1 - 1. Game where Howard Webb gave penalty against Catts for supposedly bring down Osman. He was no where near him and Osman tripped over himself. Webb was good at giving them sort of penalties against Sunderland. Hoping to be back this Christmas....
Same, league cup final for me....not the Thailand bit! Old trafford semi before that, west ham away before that. Was hoping to make Spurs but getting back next weekend and not enough time to get to Burnley away. Maybe arsenal end October.......with a kid en-route in November my chances of getting a game in this year are looking thinner than my hair. Bollox.
Thanks fellas. > Norway.....you back to Thailand, or a new arrivee? > LA Mackem: Vs Everton Dec 2012....I was there. (Then back NYear to see Ji win us vs ManC). Any plans to go back, fellas?
I was back last year around New Year for Cardiff (a) and Villa (h). And I'll be back this Christmas for Hull (h) and Villa (a). My bairn loves coming over for the festivities, so that's been the routine in recent years.
1st game against Fulham last season. Fulham had one attack, from which they got a corner, from which they scored. Result 1-0. Fulham subsequently relegated. Train journey was good though. Wanted to go to the QPR match couldn't get a ticket. will try to get to the London away games.
Fulham at home end of season before last. **** game but i loved every minute of it. Hopefully getting back in the next couple months for another
Would never rule it out but must admit at the age I'm at now would struggle with the weather. I remember used to play there on Ferryboat lane just next to A19 when I was a teenager with the North Sea wind blowing up my shorts. By that wind was cutting ffs lol. Took ages for the Gonads to thaw.....Hoping to make to get to my sisters in Penshaw this Christmas for a couple of weeks. She serves me my cocktail on the window ledge as I just park my ass on her radiators....lol. Anybody else have weather any issues when you go back? Weather has got to be pretty good for you and Comm right?
Coming to the end of rainy season now, a bit left, another month or so. Then the cooler period, aye reeto...cooler....i don't even own owt with long sleeves, let alone a jacket.
So you wouldn't have the clothing attire to hang out around Park Lane on a Saturday night in December...lol?
Either 09 or 10 when last home and Fabregas(?) scored from the halfway line over the head of Gordon off the bottom of his boot. Was there with a Gooner mate of 50odd years.
Last game I was able to see was our opening game against Fulham last season. So disappointed with the result, but wasn't unduly worried because of all the chances we created. With hindsight I should have been worried! I'm back over at Christmas so will get to see the Hull and Liverpool home games. Two great games to come back to if you factor in Brucie and Borini.
Last year Hull lost 2 - 0 Season before Arsenal lost 2 - 0 Season before Spurs lost 2 - 1 Shall I go on? I haven't seen them win at home since we last came up. Maybe it's my fault I saw them beat MK Dons in the cup, but it wasn't the same as winning at home.
