  1. It's the showbiz life that keeps me away ;) I fogot, Alexa Chung is one of my mate's sisters. She's a knob in real life.
  2. I forgot that we once shard a hotel in Sousse with Ian Porterfield and his entire Zambia Squad, and two other nations from the African nations cup that year
  3. I was a bit suprised at just how affected taylor was by the county fan's comments and shouting on Friday from the stand I was in. He was more bothered by giving them dirty looks than getting into position at one point...he then got really riled up and I thought he might have got sent off towards the end.
  4. I got boll**sed with Steve O from Jackass fame for a weekend a few years back. I've met most big global DJs like Groove Armada, Sasha, Derrick Carter, Jeff Mills, e.t.c, and I'm good friends with a few. Also met quite a few band members (like peter hook, bez e.t.c) and models (Inc kate moss). I've met a load of footballers, and soap stars too maily (they're like lice in Manchester so occasionally you get chatting with one in a bar). I also met Bill Beamont last year professionally at his textiles business. I shook Princess Di and Charles' hand once. I've known Lembit Opik since I was in school.
  5. I used to Live at the bottom of Gloucester Road (Stokes Croft) when I was at Uni. The best boozers (IMO) are in St Werburghs and Montpellier around there
  6. That was my highlight!!! Incidentally why do they have two (obese) mascots, one of which looked like the ill relation of the other?
  7. Nice summary and best of luck too. I was given a warm(ish) welcome in your home end so thanks for that too!
  8. I don't really understand when people say that it's wrong to say we're a one, 2 or 3 player team. We aren't a 3 player team but from what I've seen there are definately 3 most influential players for us...Hughes, Gregan and Taylor, they're the big guns in my eyes, and it makes a difference to the overall team when they don't play. I don't think it's wrong to say that, it's like saying Liverpool are weaker without Torres, Gerrard, or Carragher. We've had a great start and I hope Hughsey stays fit for most of the season as I think he personally could be the difference myself this season.
  9. I was more interested in putting Chaddy on for Davis after his half time efforts
  10. It was fine where I was but then I kept my mouth shut
  11. Good support in the away sections!! I went to the toilet in the stand I was in and could here "Oh when the blues..." over their efforts, good skills, it must've been pretty cold on that uncovered bit!!
  12. Once the stewards had ripped them from under the boots of the fans I saw 3 or 4 people (I think a woman included) being escorted away all able to walk but covered in blood. Not sure there were any other taken away in a different direction
  13. there were about 5 times today when i said "if that was hughes" or "if hughes was there"
  14. Just back now, absolutely gutted. We had it to win, they didn't look like they were going anywhere, then they suddenly came good and we didnt get a look in. That said we had some shocking chances wasted. I was in their stand with my county mate, their fans were cheering taylor throughout the game and succeeded in winding him up. The policing was ridiculous, I was shocked at what I saw...stamping, kicking, group mauling, and it took them ages to even get close to sorting it out. There just weren't enough of them for a start. I really hope those guys were ok. Perhaps latics should've got a better allocation to have prevented that. I felt pretty edgy for the rest of the game after that. Not good for the kids to see, especially with the game having to be stopped (which was incidentally the beginning of the end for us) Still Jones looked promising.
  15. Me and my mate are walking up to the ticket office beforehand to get our tickets, it's not going to sell out is it?!
  16. Hughes has apparently been out according to various sources for half the games this season because of his groin, then played...
  17. If I lived in Oldham I'd jump at those prices as I'm used to paying £3.50+ for a pint. Nice offer
