fantastic comedy, Terry. 🙂
when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. we have shown mettle in the past, in crucial away legs, let us see what mettle we have.
3-0 away to Monaco. easy peasy. 🙂
-
Arnie, I hope you really mean 0 – 3 away to Monaco. 😀
-
Thanks Terry you put, yet another, smile on my face.
When I think about the CL Final against Barcelona, I see TH14 closing in on goal with only the keeper to beat – only for him to miss………………..end of.
Oh what could have been if he’d scored???

Great post Sir Terrence. Can I suggest the bus you chased that made you think you were the fastest man that ever lived was in fact a telephone box. You must have wondered when you woke up the next morning Terry, only to find you were in exactly the same place as when you started chasing it………..the swingers club hostage crisis I can see being a more likely event.
I missed out on the whingeing after the game as I couldn’t get on in the week so it is a bit late to start now. I have heard how dreadful we were and how great they were. Some were saying it was the best away performance in the ECL ever….
What a load of rubbish. I will give them credit that they controlled the game from 1-0 and kept it tight countering well but it was as much that we played into their hands with that. Not excusing us our obvious faults, it took a lucky deflection to get them ahead and they hadn’t troubled us til then. That was also after we missed a multitude of chances.
The best defence ever?????? Rubbish, because a top striker would have put 5 past them in that game with the chances we created. They didn’t stop us creating chances it was just that we didn’t take them. That says more about us than it does about their great defence. That is the one positive we can take to the 2nd leg, that we did carve them open a few times. If we get our finishing in order we can put 4 or 5 past them IMO.

Norfolk. 🙂 pedantics. any ROLF yet?
-
Northbank. 🙂 ROLF ROLF ROLF. 🙂

thanks Terry, very funny post.
I am worse than over last Wednesday – I don’t care much and that is dangerous. Once I lose interest in something it’s forever. Small loss to the Arsenal, but how many other fans are equally disappointed?It was criminal to throw away such great an opportunity. We won’t get a better chance of winning. We thought it was our year
arnie – we won’t win 3:0 away – they will try like you seldom see them trying. but it is not happening
-
Evonne. Aha, we said the same before Dortmund away, before Bayern away.
If there is one thing I have lernt in life from supporting the Arsenal it is this: never say die before you are dead and buried. COYG.
-
no ROLF in the ManUre game then. 😦 bloody typical. red card and penalty. 😦
-
it seems ref sent off wrong player as well 😛
-
Hi arnie, baby. 🙂
You said:- ‘never say die before you are dead and buried’
The thing is; you could never say die after you are dead and buried — unless you are a zombie like Terry. 🙂
-
The Scots and the Frenchies have the best national anthems – [come on you French rugger buggers.] 🙂
-
always expect Redders to spot the fine print. 🙂 “never say die” it is then! 😛
-
Arsenal trying to win the Champions League………….

Looks quite nice at Putsborough. Plenty of backdoor action.

“Plenty of backdoor action”. 😆
-
Great read Terry.
-
No, it was in honour of Roger East but if the cap fits…… 🙂
-
I presume you meant final score rather than ‘world cup cricket final’. it was only a pool A game but exciting nonetheless by the sounds of it.
-
a wicket
-
Haha, that was the answer to your question (as if you didn’t know 🙂 )
-

🙂

Excellent and hypnotic video.
(BR, if you don’t like the effete Northern music, just watch the video with some druid chanting or whatever in the background) 🙂

Question: “Kiwis by a run or wicket?”
Answer: “a wicket” -
Did you bunk off when it was cricket term at DidIt’s “Little School” ?
-
You can only win by one run if you bat first.
-
Was it vickery?
-
I’m finding this pretty funny. I’m sure the guy wasn’t seriously hurt.
The support he gets from his mates is priceless. -
-
Ok, I won’t say a word.
I was trying to be cryptic with my question but failing miserably obviously. -
hmmm. handbags? seemed perfectly innocuous, but dont know what happened there.
question is, will England’s bowling withstand the pressure?
-
and NO is the answer. 😦
-
Haha, I thought Old Farm Derby was a typo until I looked it up,
Also on today’s menu……………………
dippers v light blue oilers
chavs v spuds MM final (not wearing colours, London could get tasty in parts)

Small possibility of some ant and ducking, too, as we’re on the train. -

He’s shit?

Where’s the early pre-match, BR? 🙂

Right, bus to catch to train station.
Inabit. -

Always a good time to stiffen up.
-
I!ve been stiff for years.
-
There were no parking attendants with DMs this morning.
-
We might manage double figures today…but in what?
-
We used to be called “The Boys” 45 years ago but not recently so thanks Micky.
We’ve just had a free tea.. That will be the killer.
-
Need to get the comment count up and the quality down.. Result!
-
First class has been overrun by chavs from Donny with ringtones of songs Micky doesn’t know… And high pitch coarse voices like Alan Ball.
-
I might be able to stand up at by the second half M.

Where’s the PM oh holy hippy!

They’re cheap and do the trick, Puffin
For us, the Champions League is just like life, one big f*ucking disapointment
With Wengers early teams, we had the players, but somehow we were shit. Bit like dreams as a kid. Becoming a millionaire, shagging everything in sight, and finding out your the illegitimate son of Frank Mclintock
But no. Those Bergkamp/Adams/Viera sides flopped. More a case of bailiffs, not been able to find your appendage, and discovering your old man is Paul Daniels.
Yet, in 2006 we reached the final with arguablyy one of Arsene’s weakest sides. We hardly let in a goal and all this whilst playing Senderos at the back?. Its akin to being in your twenties and finding out that whilst chasing a bus your actually the fastest man that ever lived. A year later your doing a Puma commercial chasing the 102 down Bounds Green high road.
Tragicaly we lost the final. We were robbed. I will always insist that the wanker dived to get poor Jens sent off.
In the last few years we’ve had the hardest draws, Barca and Munich for f*uks sake? Deep down we all knew we had it. Reminds me of when I mouthed off for a year what I would do to the ex in the divorce court, whilst all the time secretly planning what colour I wanted the bedroom painted back at my mum and dad’s house.
And now Monaco at home? No disrespect, but their small time. That big Jessie they have as Regent, Prince Albert or something? I know more about him than there bloody team, and that’s only because I once heard a rumour he sent Julian Clary some tight trousers.
And what is Berbatov doing playing for them? He looked like rigor mortis set in years ago, probably to many “interesting” conversations with Glen Hoddle, yet he’s still playing?
We seem cursed in this bloody champions league. Liverpool, Utd, and worse of all, Chelsea have all won it by fluke. Yet we are more tormented than an uninvited bachelor living next door to a swingers club
Yet, we live in hope. Second leg to come and there is always next year
We have to win it soon, its driving me mad. If not, don’t be surprised to hear in the news about… man holds swinger club members hostage. Tells police his demands include all members have sex with him, though admits he’s confused, And would like large pepperoni pizza with ham topping-has special offer voucher
