Do you know the difference between Pompey and it's guest, the Royal Navy? Well, the Royal Navy Rules the Waves and Pompey Waives the Rules. (I am sure Spike Milligan can't sue from beyond the grave, thankfully)
So the scene is set, I have never ever watched a Scummers game live on TV but today will be the exception. I have taken the precaution of having a slection of some nice beers and ciders to celebrate if Coventry go ahead, and if the dark side actually do well , then I have the fallback of an 8 pack of Carlsberg Special Brew to drown my sorrows. I have earnt my beer miles this week and will be watching the game biting my nails when the Scummers get in the Coventry half and near their box, and quaffing my beer and cider when Coventry get inside their box!. Lets just hope the Hammers win at home and our arch enemies fall at the final hurdle!.
When you mentioned Stains I thought the Beeb were going to show a proper game on TV. Havant & Waterlooville v Staines Town in the Conference South, with the Hawks needing a win to ensure they stay up! I hope for your sake the match in the Championship doesn't finish in a 4-4 draw
Perhaps you should have your computer next to the TV, showing a live stream of the West Ham v Hull game aswell. If I may suggest tipples for the side-game; perhaps a dry sherry if West Ham score and a pint of diesel if Hull hit the target
Yes Devo, that was a bit careless of me, I will edit the post to a more charitable term for our neighbours!
Beers are now nicely chilled, I am tempted to have a cheeky Stella to start proceedings, but I may not last the pace if I start to early!
Considering Coventry are playing with a bunch of kids, I thought they started well. Typical lucky Scummers two half chances two goals. On my third Special Brew now! I dont think I will be capable of watching the entire match although hope springs eternal, the Hammers have scored now!
Started to giggle a bit then sniggered then blew me belly out wiv uncontrolable hysterics but as in all things being measured is a good thing - so good luck to you next year hope the rebuilding works the way it did for us - all the breast !!
Ha ha 606 gold , frame this , this is a pearler of the highest order from the biggest weapon on the Island .
