Title: Has anyone seen this season's squad photo yet?
Post by: Deano's Mullet on August 27, 2010, 05:29:22 PM
Gone it seems are the days when our team would line up in bright sunshine in front of a Villa Park stand before a ball was kicked. The last 2-3 seasons they seem to have been taken around transfer deadline day. Does anyone know if we have  had one done this season yet?

I wouldn't mind signing Charlie Aitken and Tony Hateley.

I have that photograph!

You had to save up tokens from the packets of tea and send off for it. You got a rosette, as well.

Indeed. Sadly, by the time I'd collected enough tokens and trotted off to VP to get it signed (don't think we had BH back then), Hateley had  been sold.

I reckon they will have already have done this seasons with Martin and his entourage - I bet the expressions are priceless with some of the unlikely lads like Curtis Davies flicking the V's on the back row.

The 93 one was a vintage - Big Ron's treble busters!

Big Ron's not a bad shout for an emergency manager for a year.

I'm almost nostalgic for the days when the first team squad would have their photo taken with 2 Mita photocopiers at the front, where we used to have trophies.

Can anyone post a photo to show what I mean?

No subs though in those days, so no place for a Heskey. That would upset him.

I was living in Brighton when Saunders played for them and they had to recall all the team line up merchandise because Deano was showing his tackle with his loose fitting shorts and lack of pants! Stereotypes about locals rushing out to buy said poster are expected! Porno team photos, only in liberal Brighton!

I'm sure the dents from that Rover 800 are still in the pitch now.

Blimey, i remember buying that squad photo 92/93, probably still got it somewhere

Blimey, that BFR/Rover picture brings back some memories. I had that picture on my wall as a kid. It also answers the question why we only managed to finish runners-up that season too: we only had 10 men!

I think this seasons was taken but then randy has scribbled out o'neil face like some psychotic ex who's still full of spite. His eye's glazing over, filling up while is bottom lip starts to quiver. Knocking back the brandy they used to share together back in the boardroom after winning that all important game. Faint echos fill the halls of those not so long ago days, now firmly cemented in history. His spite turns to rage, the smiths and the cure mix tape he's made is playing in the stereo. The picture is screwed up and thrown in the bin. He throws his crystal cut brandy glass against the wall and it shatters everywhere.
He picks up the phone..........

Well that's as far as i've got, we'll see the outcome and who he's called over the next few weeks

Love it "the MON chronicles" but you can't leave us hanging for weeks who does he call?
When is the first season being shown on Sky 1?

Bet wherever that tank is now it's head gasket has gone.
