I’m over in Vic Street, just round the corner from St. James Park.

I see from the old Xnet forums that you are in Holland Hall. What is it like?

City still 1-0 up against the fishy people thanks to Santos Gaia.

Marvellous scenes! Santos Gaia is a goalscoring god considering he's a centre-half. I interviewed Alex Inglethorpe for Xpression FM yesterday as well which was fun. With any luck I'll be getting my own show on there soon so you can tune in and see how many times I manage to mention the Albion during a show. Gratuitous playings of GOSBTS after good results may well also happen.

I imagine it wasn't too hard to find me on the Xnet forums either! Holland Hall is nice, but there's a bit of a lack of atmosphere cos its brand new - ie none of the traditions that places like Mardon and Duryard have. Having your own bathroom is such a bonus though. And all the people here are nice, even if they did run off with my playoff final flag

interesting half time question - why has my post number been locked at 300 for ages?

 

[fleet]

- tell a lie it is now locked at 301!

England winning 65-0.

Ignore this - it obviously updates post number on previous posts - sorry

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

England winning 65-0.

Is this against Canada?

Let's hope we can do this to Spain on Wednesday in the footie!

England winning 65-0.

True but rugby isn't exactly a mainstream sport over here. Perhaps we could play England at ice hockey instead.

 

[dougdeep]

40 minutes to go. Come on Albion.

 

[dougdeep]

Palace 2-2.

Here comes Bobby.

Let's hope the law of ex-strikers doesn't apply today.

Cardiff down to 10 men

Santos Gaia is a goalscoring god considering he's a centre-half. [/QUOTE]

He was shocking two years ago but improved immensely last season. He started to get a few more shots on target with his long range shooting last season, which led to an amusing chant. But this season he seems to be getting all the goals from headers!

I interviewed Alex Inglethorpe for Xpression FM yesterday [/QUOTE]

I was a little disappointed when he was appointed as he has no real managerial experience. Also, he is following an absolute legend in Eamo Dolan, but so far Inglethorpe seems to be doing alright (shame he played for Orient though!).

With any luck I'll be getting my own show on there soon [/QUOTE]

I never used to listen much but that may change if it gets hijacked by an Albion fan!

And all the people here are nice, even if they did run off with my playoff final flag [/QUOTE]

After returning to Exeter after going to Cardiff last seasom, one of the first things I saw was a bloody Palace play off flag.

City still 1-0 up.

Good to hear Bobby has come on. Perfect time for an ‘accident’ own goal from him.

Wonder if it was the Hammers fans or us who did the Zamora chant when he came on.

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Another Hammers chance goes begging.

 

[Juan Albion]

phew, that was close...
