Can't beat a good reducer. Didn't take enough of the man though.

Ross Barkley can have the same impact on the England set-up as Paul Gascoigne, according to Roy Hodgson.

Not sure if that's a compliment or a criticism.

Dicki / Mikec managerial duo to replace Brenda?

yeah why not
mike bad cop me good cop
mike bassett - esque probably, get a decent pay off after 2 weeks
retire

i'd prefer the chelsea job though
massive pay offs
are they still paying avb, de matteo, benitez & ancelotti ?

Met Roberto at track league last night. He's not that bad despite his anti-Liverpool ranting :)

was he racing ?

Prole

They would have to find their way to Anfield. Mike certainly doesn't do north.

was he racing ?>
Yep. The two of us doing our bit for the football thread

Nope and my God I was terrified cycling home through Homerton and Clapton last night.
My comfort zone radius is getting narrower

i thought you meant roberto de matteo you dingus ... not just our own roboto ... i am disappoint

No Roberto de Matteo wasn't there. He's probably living it up on his 7.5million a year pay off from the loon

waves at mike

Nice to meet you last night. I had a lot of fun for my first league event.

I'm only nice in real life, I have a reputation to uphold you know...

Was that red top you race in the closest thing you have to a Liverpool shirt? ;)

Maybe we should do a Football thread track event? Stadium rides seem to have died out. It can be discussed at the annual Christmas drinks that Corny will be organising the week before Chritmas.

Oh yes football thread drinks. They were good last year. Corny when you organize it please make sure it is not the 17th. Thanks

yay i'm around this year

hope that doesn't put people off

In that case, I'm out...

@roboto, the herding of the football thread cats is down to you/ or whichever of you bedwetters wants to step up and take a bit of responsibility.
My time of trying to get bods to do things in this thread is over with. I'll be on the sidelines showing my apathy and throwing in the odd insult...

Welcome to the grown up seats @cornelius_blackfoot. I said "welcome to the grown up seats".

Can you pass the bovril?

It'll be my last Festivus in London for a while, would be good to see some of you before I fuck off to support Brisbane ROOOOAAAAR(!!!!)...

Epic bed wetting! I knew you could do it.

Seems like @>>>>>> will be organising for his good riddance benefit gig. Somewhere different from Le Reej?

How about 16th December for Derby v Chelsea in the Coca Cola Cup?

My organising days are over, Rob...

I've already called a day. You just need to suggest a venue. I have no doubt in your superior licensed venue knowledge.
