Saw a bit of crime last Wednesday down in the grim shopping area of Broadmead, Brizzle. For those of you who aren't familiar with Broadmead, its filled with a ton of regular shops, thousands of single mothers, builders, Vicky Pollard lookalikes (enough to fill the Isle of Wight), as well as normal folk like you or I. Anyhoo, there's loads of building work going on so the walking areas are quite narrow; a fella came barging past me, pushed one of the aforementioned VP lookalikes in the face (she wasn't hurt but had a 6"5 skinhead boyfriend- the kind that looked like he liked fights; he managed to get a sneaky kick in as the crim was being led away) before being rugby tackled by a security guard resmbling Ted Bovis. Not sure what he'd done, but his track marks stuck out like, well, bright red spots...
Got tickets for Aresenal v Hull on Sept 27th, woo hoo. Not the most glamorous of games to start with but I'll take anything.
You've still got a chance to join the Schnorbitz Fantasy League, follow this link and the instructions in the post below, over 20 teams so far...
I am eagerly awaiting an article for the site from reformed hooligan, Kristian Hasler. Back in September 1993, about a week before I left sleepy Steeple Morden for Bath, Kristian, Nath and myself headed up the motorway to grim ol' Huddersfield for a midweek League Cup match (proper away trip). Anyhoo, Kristian worte a piece on our adventure and ended up coming second in a competition ran by old footie magazine 90 Minutes, for which he won a Coca Cola Cup t-shirt.
Injury update ahoy. After speaking to BCHE Old Boys striker Rich Ashby yesterday, Funk Pie can give you an update on his injury status. Ashby's wrist (the left one apparently, further to the last report) is still a tad limp; he commented "I'll bring my kit, but don't know if I can play". When asked what he use his wrist for in a match he replied "I wanna hit some f***ing Dutchies, don't I?". Cornwall-based pair Brian Stevens and Paul Bray are two other players who have been talking to the media this week, both were concerned that the game would be played on astroturf as this wouldn't suit their natural game. Following assurances that our game is more suited to a fast surface, the pair acquiesced and carried on with their game of pool. However, breaking news this morning from the Dutch camp that the game will in fact be played on grass is bound to upset the rhythm of some of the squad who may have been gearing their training to towards astroturf rather than grass, come 3.30ish on Saturday, we'll have the answer.
Neil has landed safely and is currently beaving around the country before arriving in Corsham tomorrow for a great booze up followed by a trip down memory lane in Bath on Wednesday, expect cuddles, giggles, excess wind and pictures.
Read on Friday that Tarantino's new film is going to be some kind of crazy Nazi affair. Seems that Brad Pitt will lead a team of American Jewish soldiers into Germany with the sole purpose of "killin' Nazis"; it's reported that it'll be super violent with several scalpings and even some 'nad- shooting.
