Wall hit the post from a Henderson knock down. Could be in for a long afternoon. My 1st one on here for a fair old while - come on Dave let em know what we don't wont to do!!

Do you have a Horse Chestnut tree in your garden? If so it could be the source of the old We came, we saw, we Conkered quote came from!!

about 2.28 in. A classic and so emotive of live back in the late 70's early 80's away games in / through London at night.

Phil has had to put Restriction Orders on several A Star celebs FFS. Poor bloke can't go anywhere without being hassled by wannabe mentioned on TSW stalkers. I'm looking at benifitting from the groupies so it is not all bad out here!!

When you say Bathroom Mixer Tap - is this specifically asociated with the bath and/or shower or also the sink and bidet if you are posh like us and haver one (good for washing feet in!!). Ours sounds like a pump problem from the water tank, but why only the bathrooms / showers and not the kitchen is strange. Sorry no answers but it might narrow it down a bit. Do you have a Boiler or Combi hot water system?

Yes for my sins!! Mrs EoA territory - I need to show my passport when I get here!!

Just back in UK for 2 weeks - the lure of Leigh in January was just too much for me!! Seeing Mrs EoA who can't travel back to Dubai due to a broken leg is just a bonus!! The in laws live in our house at the moment. Back to normal on Saturday with Dave M and The Matchday fred crew and some Old Specky for company!!

Hoping i can find a pub in Leigh that will be showing the match and have the commentary on. Just hope the match doesn't coincide with whippet, ferret and pigeon fanciers weekly!! If The Leigh Arms has it on, good omens. Seen 2 matches in there, 4-3 V Spurs and 1-0 v Man Yoo, plus the England 5-1 v Germany. The Snooker Club however has yielded about 4 defeats!! Might try The Old Moonraker the scene of my watching the Valentines 4-2 massacre of Liverpool, but I think it has ben shut down. Decisions decisions decisions - we have Sky but with the in laws living in with us I don't want to hog the TV and lounge all night, and my language might get a bit colourful if we get any dodgy decisions against us!! COYS do yourselves proud on the tellybox for a change.

I think Dubai experienced about 56 minutes of rain yesterday!! Ist rain in about 9 months I think!!

Excuse me but screw the DCSB's - hope Cardiff stuff them - we are in control of our own destiny - and if/when The DCSB's fold the reults get expunged and Baardiff lose the 3 points anyway!!

For Northern Soul Nights it is mandatory is wear a Flat Cap (Alan Ball stylee) and have a whippet on a lead and some ferrets down your trousers. You'll blend in perfectly!!

Good luck with that. Get Josh to have a word with the Goodfellas manager - after all we are normally a bigger pull than Man U !! Will try and txt later, not sure if my fingers will work in temps of 5c and below though!!

Prediction League thingy is effed up again, same as last week. I officially log my prediction as 3-1 to the mighty Saints.

Hi Kev .... making a flying visit to your old stamping ground this weekend. Flying back later tonight and Mrs Eoa who has been stuck in UK with a broken leg since August fancied a trip down to Nottingham to visit our daughter .... and this weekend turned out to be about our only convenient time - and I'm ok to see the game loverly jublee. Can't see where the goals are going to come from but feel like a good old 3-1 win. The possible good news for you is that Al Jazeera are airing the game live on ththeir Channel 3 - which means there is a very high chance of some dodgy streaming somewhere if you are lucky!!

Don't know. Not sure how much time I can put aside for pre match drinking as I should be looking after Mrs EoA who has a broken leg, and we can't check into The Mecure? hotel till 2. I'm sure if we play the physically challenged card we could get a bit of leeway on that. Don't think we'll shoe polish up and go for the black lesbian card as well though!!

A great blast from the past and the Notts Forest connection would make it an apt time to re introduce it!!!! But my booze addled memory banks seem to recall it being We hate Nottingham Forest, we hate LIVERPOOL too, we hate West Ham Utd, but Sarfvampton we luv u!! The Manchester Utd bit didn't quite fit in properly and weren\t the top dogs back then Liverpool and Forest were.

And I'm in ....... Where's Eric Mk 111 ... what are the chances of being stood next to each other in a pub again and not realising it until a few days later

It better be noisy on Saturday - I'll be dead on my feet after flying out from here a few hours after finishing work early Friday and then driving down from Leigh and having a few beers for lunch!! I Don't want to fall asleep and miss anything. COYS

In Dubai at the mo .... fly back Friday, drive down to Nottingham on Saturday staying overnight. Mrs EofA spending afternoon with one of my girls who is at Nott Trent Uni. You owe me a beer for reminding me about skiing! I did take 2 of my girls to Ski Dubai for the afternoon whilst they were here for Xmas, so haven't missed out completely. Hopefully will have time to get to the same pub as you. COYS

Yay .... I'm in .... they must have got more tickets!! Now to go back and read the pub guide again. DellBoy Pete - which one is your pub of choice?

That is my hope!!

Just tried on line and it say SOLD OUT ffs. I thought we were supposed to be playing crap. Just managed to wangle my way out of work early so that I can get back home in time, Mrs Eoa gives it the green light with a nightstop in Nottingham and now its sold out. Away section for me then I guess unless they allow Pay on the day in away section?

Beware - I think it is a joint plan by Spurts, Juve and Barca to plant a spy inside the camp to find out the secret behind our brilliant youth academy which they all want to use as a blueprint for their future set ups.

Don't know if it was our last win there, but my only visit to St Andrews was a footballing masterclass in 1981 ish with a side including the likes of Keegan, Channon, Moran, Charlie George etc when we well and truly tore them a new one in a 3-0 victory. It was a major effort walking back to our car through the scowling blue jobs to hide our ear to ear grins and get our heads caved in. The only downside was that they didn't have any Cowing Bovril - poor girl serving must have hated Jaspar Carrott for that sketch LOL.
