I went by that name, albeit briefly. Changed back to this username quickly, after leaving Hampshire, as it didn't seem to make much sense any more.
Kind of hope there were two of us now - I never meant to be a wanker... :(
Win promotion against Dagenham
Win the league against Walsall
Generally have a party against Southampton
Well, and another 3 parties after that I guess...
Yes yes, it's 16 mathematically. More importantly, it's 19 from 10 to mathematically guarantee the title - though this becomes 17 if we just hold Saints to a draw.
Now I do believe.
With 10 games left, 16 points guarantees promotion and 19 guarantees the title (the 19 is reduced of course if even one of those points comes from Saints at Withdean).
Time to start the countdown, surely??
Just back from the game... the Charlton v Southampton game. (Couldn't get a ticket to Withdean, and live just down the road from The Valley).
I must say watching 3,000 Saints fans just deflate when Wright-Phillips tapped in the equaliser was one of all time favourite...
43 grounds of current league clubs, though this includes 2 doubles where grounds have been sadly lost, or replaced.
Aston Villa - Villa Park
Blackpool - Bloomfield Road
Man Utd - Old Trafford
West Ham - Upton Park
Wolves - Molineux
Bristol City - Ashton Gate
Cardiff City - Ninian Park
Coventry...
28 of us isn't bad at all - certainly enough for some competition however well you're doing!
Time for tradition to prevail, and the favourite to duff up in the first race of the festival - come on Recession Proof!
At least if this goes viral his username doesn't give any clues to his identity...
He deserves everything he gets but, far more importantly, the girlfriend doesn't. Boyfriend and friend sleeping together, then the act being talked about on the internet? f*** me, does it get any worse?
5/1 on either side (so, Brighton) scoring at least 4 at Withdean today. Given our recent record, that's a great price... (On Betfair for anyone wondering)
8/1 on the win is crazy - even more ridiculous though is the 25/1 currently available on Betfair for them winning 1-0. If they did happen to sneak the win, it would surely only be by the one goal.
If I were the kind of man to take value bets against his own team then I'd be all over that - but...
I ran into the great man (almost literally) on the pitch after the shootout against Swindon, and with the emotion, just managed to blurt out "I love you Dick". I meant it, too.
I'm really quite sure that no fan will ever forget what he did for us - the man will always be an Albion legend.
It's better this way though, isn't it? As long as you're convinced we may well cock it right up, then the moment we actually do seal the title will be absolutely bloody brilliant...
If we get an early goal, we'll go on to ruin them. Can see them parking the bus though, and us scraping a 1-0 - which'll do for me, points are the important thing now...
Apparently I'm the first person to go for a 1-0 win. We should know from earlier in the season not to underestimate them, and I think we'll scrape home (in scoreline terms - not that they'll match our play). I'd take it too - it's all about bringing home the points not goal difference...
