Our end of season awards event is tonight, you couldn't make it up!

Dcf has gone to it and left me home alone.  Not happy.  He was invited and I wasn't.  Booooooooo

We need a full report on McCleish's demeanour, we can get at lest another ten pages reading into his body language at an awards night.

Dcf will start the evening trying to take everything in, then he'll get drunk and forget it all.

Good form haha!! Get him to text whilst he still remembers!

I've been to two or three of the POY Awards and would normally end up hammered. When MoN spoke a couple of years ago and stated Hughes couldn't have his job you just knew he was planning his exit. He looked like a man on his way out and that was 3 months or so before he actually did walk.
Can imagine the atmosphere is a tad tense tonight. Lets hope we get some updates.

Hahaha, he sounds like me! Did you not tell him to text you before he started on the beer?

Haven't had more than a fleeting sight of him since after the game Saturday.  He went down to London to work, came back today, hospital for 4 hours and home for 15 minutes to get booted and suited and he was gone.

I'm hoping that if there's anything of importance to report he'll either text or write it into his notes on his phone.  Probably be indescipherable mind.

I'm just going to open a bottle of white. Shouldn't really, not supposed to drink on or around the day I take my weekly tablets but sod it.

Blimey, I've just posted something in the "Other Games" thread about you opening a bottle of wine. Then I come to this thread and find out that you've just done that very thing.

Don't stand for that Pauline! Give him a boot up the backside before the Spurs game. I'll act as a GPS and tell you where he is.

Only the first bottle, mind. Tsk. There was a 75 cl bottle of water next to the bottle of wine in the fridge.  I nearly opened the wrong one.  Horror of horrors.

C'mon, predicting that Villajk will open a bottle of wine hardly makes me Nostradamus. Its one of the safest bets that can be made.

Hopefully Leeg will persuade Dave to let him sell on Trinity Road. I'm too old for the hike down to the church!

If we are all there like the 3 wise men then do come and say hello.
