Sounding livelier up front - maybe time for a nun or two to the rescue?

I preferred to eat it - but the trick was not to put too much in your mouth at the same time as it just stuck to the roof of your mouth. Reeves on for Chappers. Another bit of magic from lala.

A complete horlicks of a clearance LOL

SRL coming on for Guly who was teetering towards a sending off.

Another great save from our keeper Bill Kowski. Lively start to 2nd half.

Great save from their keeper off a guly header and lala shoots over

Oh noes are the crowd going to start the ghey waving now?

Lala shows some class at last and its 1-1

I can lip read as well!!

He barely ever has a full strength team in front of him though TBF.

Tut Tut - You know the 1st Rule of The 54 Club, is that you don't talk about the 54 club!!

lolage

Right then .... sunny but breezy, but not too cold to have a few Mojitos on the beach at sunset.

Oh deary me 0-1

Yes I should really, but wouldn't be able to sleep anyway wondering what is going on. sadly though no beers to help me through the match. Praying no extra time or god forbid penaltys!! And p!ss off with the ageist remarks - 54 FFS LOL only 300 Wall fans - are they Pompey in disguise?

OK got Merry Davingtons sultry voice and wise words to keep me company at last.

Using the Millwall taters. Remember listening to them last season - biased as feck and one of them really goes off on one if anything doesn't go their way!! Should be great listening to them if we get a few goals. Will be awlful if they get a chance to gloat!!

Just what I was thinking a couple of hours ago watching the sun set whilst supping on a Mojito !!

Is anybody receiving Saints Player yet - got zilch on mine.

It was shown on The Al Jism schedule for about a week, but was then replaced by Sheff Weds v Blackpool. Damn

We ruled the Space Invaders, replay every time!! Also the original nudge slot machines - my mate seemed to know all the reels and would hold seemimgly useless lines in the hope of a nudge then win jackpot (about a mighty 2 quid or so!!) Used to have good times on The Bar Football as well. Went in there last summer - christ it's gone downhill. Some dipstick tried giving me hassle by accusing me of being an undercover cop FFS. Luckily one or two guys could vouch for the fact that I used to be a regular by talking about the old days in there. They all obviously had something to feel guilty about in there, don't think I'll be back in a hurry.

No, but I believe one of the barman may have tried!!

LOL ... this is getting mad .... The Eastleigh was my local!! On a Friday night between 6 to 10 of us (mostly under 18s!!) still couldn't bring the average age of people in the pub below 60!! Happy Memorys asking The Fish/Kockle Man if he had Crabs, one by one celebrating our 18th birthdays in there when we'd been regulars for ages, buying a War Cry from The Sally Army, winning a joint of meat in the raffle. in the days before Electric Pumps and being able to use the same glass twice, ordering a half in a glass that had about 1/2 inch of beer left in just before closing time and getting it filled to the top!! Royal Oak was great, but I seem to remember they had Pompey Royal as well ....eek!

I was given a few beer mats (the long cloth ones, and loads of cardboard ones and a Gales tray in 83 as a wedding present by the then landlord Ian C.

This is all a bit scary - I was a regular in both The Bay Tree and The Angel virtually every week 76 - 79 and then about a couple of times a month till late 81. We may have been at the bar or in the bogs at the same time - LOL
