I'll defer to the manager and let Smurfy decide that the answer to that will be no.

But don't feel bad, with Browny notching on the last day of the season I think he lifted his goals per game ratio above mine, all but sinking my chances of the award this year too.


So we're in the same boat, it's just not a very nice boat and has no rudder.

You anchor.

Am I in with a shout for Manager's player this year? I've done some cracking blogging...

Yeah I guess a Friday night could cause a few problems with peoples work etc. That said, if we book a restaurant for 7.30pm/8pm that should give people plenty of time. Obviously I'm just trying to justify a day i can make it!

I think Reading is a good idea though, change of scenery (cleavage and arse), and better places to have a beer afterwards.

Sounds like a plan to me.

We can discuss a date for the pres evening while we're in Torquay eh? Get everyone together and see when people are free. No real reason why it has to be a Saturday night rather than a Friday, other than maybe timing for people to get back from work and, if we do what everyone seems to be thinking, get to Reading.

We'll see. But arse and cleavage shots are now on the agenda. I'll make sure Smurf gets a wax.

Ha ha! I'm only good with a camera for the first hour or so, after that it's cleavage and arse shots all the way....

....so I guess I'm on camera duty all night.

You have to be there Matty - Smurf has already chosen his Manager's Player and we need you there. You have to be there. Otherwise we have to think of someone else to take photos of the winner.

The league table looks pretty impressive, 10 points clear of second, it reflects all the hard work everyone has put into the season and now we can have a few weeks rest knowing we've deserved it. It's certainly something to be proud of. Well I am!

AFC Wimbeldon have done bloody well to sign Marcus Gayle! That's actually quite impressive, although people are just going to kick him to say they have.... But I bet he kicks them a lot bloody harder!

I'm going to struggle for a date in July, I'm free every Friday but, assuming we'll be doing it on a Saturday night, I can't do the 30th June, 7th, 14th or 21st July, the only one I could probably get out of is the 30th June...

The 21st July is my birthday, so some of us will most likely be racing. Although we could all come afterwards which isn't a problem. Then we could all celebrate my birthday together!

Obviously we can't please everyone with a date, so it might mean I have to miss out which is fair enough.

I wish you'd hurry up and get past MK Dons, I've been waiting to laugh for years...

Marcus Gayle has signed for AFC Wimbledon. That's bloody amazing. He's ex-Wimbledon, ex-Premiership & SPL, ex-brilliant header to knock Man U out of the FA Cup scorer, can play up front or centre-back, top notch footy player.

Bring on Chelmsford.

Final league table of the season above. Bit of a mess in the end from everyone else's point of view, with some of the "better" teams finishing in surprisingly low places. Does show that we won it because a) we were the best team by quite some way and b) we were the most consistent of the bunch (reason b can account for how Q Ass got 2nd place without being anything special).

Sorry about no training for a few weeks lads, but it might be nice to have a break from each other for a few weeks and then getting back together in Torquay to catch up and recharge the batteries. In the meantime I can get together with Smurfy and we can get a presentation night sorted. Probably early July, unless anyone's away then?

Still, lovely use of font colour.

Started off.

Goal: Gareth,

LB: Lewis,

CB Matt & Ad

RB: Ben

LM: Ghengis

CM JT & Macca

RM: Andy

CF: Browny & Chris.

SUB: Screw

I can't remember how the goals went in exactly. I think... 1-0 us, 1-1, 2-1 us, 2-2, 3-2 (Miller with all three), 4-2 Browny.

Half Time was a bit of a shambles! Who ever pulled out Sub didn't own up and pulled out another ticket meaning there weren't enough to go round! So I went sub and regretted it big time when the heavens opened!!!

Goal: Browny,

LB: Ad,

CB Ghengis & Andy

RB: Macca,

LM: Lewis,

CM: Gareth & Ben

RM: Screw,

CF: JT and Chris

SUB: Matt

After about 5 minutes they scored with Browny hugging the post trying to get out of the way of the shot! So he was soon swapped with Macca in goal.

Then Gareth scored, Ad scored, they scored and Ben scored.

Wasn't a very good game, almost as bad as this write up in fact!! None of the goals were particularly great. In fact the best was probably their last goal.

I'm sure someone can do a better report than this, as my memory isn't too great!!

Someone give me a run down of the game on Sunday then. Table looks superb, 10 points clear of 2nd place and 16 points clear of 3rd and 4th. I knew those two wins over Bucklebury were good, strong results.

So I know that you won 7-4 and I know that Chris got a hat trick and Ad got his first, and only, goal of the season from left-back. But I don't know who went in goal and why the hell they let in 4 goals, or how the scoring went...

"What's this flat bit for?"

Yeah I was gonna nip up the driving range tonight but I don't think I'll bother. My trouble is I think about it too much so I'll just try and play the first few holes in that "good init?" mode that you can get when you come back to something after a while away.

Looks like the days are following a pattern at the moment. If tomorrow is the same, it'll be nice and dry tomorrow while we're eating lunch, then start raining as we hit the 2nd tee, rain all the way through and then dry up as we have a post-match pint...

Lovely.

I think we're going to need our wet gear tomorrow!

I went up the range yesterday as I haven't played in about a year and I was bizarrely good! Very few duffers at all.

Which means I'll be shocking tomorrow.

Even if you had a camera there the change from "bizarre game" to "psychotic unprovoked attack" was too swift. It would have been more of a CCTV thing.

Cameras are best for other types of shot.

I'm the same, it makes me laugh every time I think about it!

If only someone took a camera!

It's a 1pm meet at The Starting Gate on Friday. It's probably a 20 minute drive to the course from there.

Ad - I'm more than happy to chip in (or pay fully) for a replacement garment for you given Sunday's events and my involvement. Let's just say it will be worth the money. In fact, I am laughing to myself right now just thinking of you smiling away with that Wiltshire accent oblivious to the danger you were facing, and the spotlighted cloud of moisture as you attempted to blow cranberry juice and white wine out of your nose.

I know I was told on Sunday but I have forgotten again. Can you remind me of the time we need to be at the golf club on Friday. I'm trying to decide whether to take a half or whole day off.

Ad - The Elf asked me to apologise to you for spilling a bit of her drink on your top during her spell of drunkenness! She has offered to pay for a replacement... Your are the Rat.

I thinking 'Rat' could stick as a nickname.

I think it could work out to be a lot of hassle like you say, and over an hours worth of travelling. Plus there's always one or two that's too hungover from the day before that struggle to play for two hours.

I think a game of cricket sounds good fun, I'm sure we could russle up a bat and ball bewteen us.

Or days in the Wacky Warehouse.


For those going to Torquay, Dave Screw has been given the option of booking an astro turf pitch for 2 hours. Problem is it's £75 and 40 minutes away from Torquay. My gut feel is that it means probably more hassle than it's worth, sadly, in that we might not have enough cars to get there without some getting a taxi, then 2 hours worth of running around when it might be a hot, hungover day. There is a grassy common near the seafront there where a plastic football, frisbee and cricket set might provide enough entertainment for the day...

Welcome your feedback though...

"Whoever gets them last will get to enjoy that nice, sweaty feeling..."

Sillsy - You've enjoyed far to many nights in Brannigans...

You should really annoy the ref, and swap positions every ten mins, meaning a swap of keepers jersey and gloves. Whoever gets them last will get to enjoy that nice, sweaty feeling...

Yeah, but if you think about the number of games this season where Smurf hasn't had much/anything to do, then we don't need to fear the goalkeeper too much. Maybe we just play 5-4-2 and don't have anyone in goal?

I guess it depends who pulls out the pair of gloves!

Thanks to Bucklebury beating Q Associates 3-1 on Sunday we will now finish the season at least 7 points clear. But LMP drew 2-2 with Waggon as well so you'd better play well even if you're totally out of position. To be honest, you're all good enough footballers to be able to do a decent job in the place you draw out anyway.

Surely that has to be the least convincing wig available.

Reminds me of when I went to Greece, the coach that took us from the airport to the hotel drove through some dodgy streets, on one of which were 4 HUGE wig stores, all next to each other, followed by four MASSIVE (you can tell how big they were due to the size of the lettering) shops purely for lights.

Very odd.

Like this!

Superb! Ginger day it is then...

Disappointed in him? I'm in awe of him, can't you see what he's doing? He's pocketed the diseased slapper and the one who likes being touched up by older men and he's on the hunt for fresh meat. Macca's the most successful ginger gyrater I've ever seen. He's completely ignoring his disability and is out there living the dream. We could all (get ginger wigs for Torquay and) follow his lead.

I text him! He said he's not bringing anyone. A poor show, I've told him we'l all disappointed in him....

Well there is a ray of light in that the weather forecasters in this country are a bunch of fucking idiots who would do better with a magic 8 ball than all their computer wizardry.

So, I'm not convinced that their prediction will turn out to be right. We can only wait and see and fill up Screw's house if it's raining.

Which one is Macca bringing? The one that you touched up in Chicagos or the one that is a disease ridden slapper who waits for boys outside Argos?

The weather isn't looking too good for Sunday. With a beer in one hand and a burger in the other I'm going to have to borrow one of Maccas girl-friends to hold my umbrella...

It's a 5-a-side thing up in Sheffield on Saturday. Getting the train up in the morning, straight to the games, then train back Sunday. So expect me to be sat in a corner at Screw's bbq asking for help lifting my beer to my lips and getting people to bring me a hot dog.

Yes Sillsy we've finally settled on Torquay for the weekend away and have booked accommodation and everything. Dave Screw is trying to sort out a friendly for us for the daytime Saturday activity. And there's 12 of us so that means I can be sub and not throw up.

Screws bbq starts at 4.30pm if I remember rightly.

So if your train is back in reading at 2.45pm, you might as well catch one back to Thatcham which would almost work out to be perfect timing. Or if you're early you're welcome to come to mine for a few tins before.

What's happening in Sheffield then? 6-a-side?

Hello all! Nice to see you finally seemed to have decided on your weekend away, I was beginning to think I'd be putting you up in gun-toting Woodley!

Cheers Smurfy.

AFC Dons face another season in the Ryman Prem after losing 1-0 in their play-off semi final last night. They promptly sacked the manager, assistant manager and first team coach. I think the underlying feeling is that although they've done well, it's a question of what might have been. To sum up, "we should be in the Conference by now so get lost."

I've sent an email in offering the proven Smurf/Bellamy management team. They play on Saturdays so it won't affect Shefford's assault on Div 1 next season.

Can't wait to see those semi-pros looking at each other while Smurf chases the full back with his cock out.

Shane

I will drop you off when we get to Basingstoke not a problem:

Our schedule is:

Friday 15th Leave Basingstoke @ 11:07 Arriving in Torquay @ 14:34
Sunday 17th Leave Torquay @ 12:31 Back in Basingstoke @ 16:00

Price
Basingstoke £36
Newbury £52
Reading £57

Don't know how they work out there prices as the Newbury one has to change at Reading

Does anyone know what the score is with Dave's bbq on Sunday? Is it an all afternoon and into the evening thing or is it just lunch and then we all have to leave? Reason I ask is that I'm going up to Sheffield to play footy with John Lamb (found out that's how far North I have to go before I'm not too unfit to play anymore) and will be getting the train back on Sunday, not due into Reading til about quarter to 3. Just wondering whether that means I'll just be fashionably late or miss the whole thing and need to look at other train times...

I think we leave late morning on the way back. Not sure what time it gets back. Don't forget we're going from Basingstoke and the cost from Newbury is a bit more.

Smurfy are you gonna be okay dropping me back from Basingstoke when we get back? Don't suppose we'll be that fussed about having lots of beers on the train on the way back right?

No, as far as I'm aware Ad is driving - I'm hoping anyway! I spoke to Smurf the other day and he said it was leaving about 11am.

I tried to get the whole day off but had to settle for half a day so I wont be able to leave any earlier. I'll probably get the 3.07 train that arrives at 6.20 unless anyone else is traveling down later.

What time train are you getting back?

I've said about blogger to screw before and he said he leave emails and that sort of thing to his mrs, dont think he's too fussed about computers. I'll speak to him tonight to see what his plans are.

Yeah, sorry JT but we're getting a midmorning train, leaves about 11am and gets in about 2.30pm I think. Dunno if you can nip off early if you've got the afternoon off? Tell em you'll think about work til 1pm.

Matty are you getting the train now as well or did you just know what time it was?

The train shall be departing around 11am.

Is Screw on blogger, or does he even know about it?

What time train are you getting?

Ive now got the afternoon off, so I'll definately be there for the Friday night.

That is correct. London has been trimmed.

Isn't the end of Ad's road London?

We're not trying to persuade you to get the train, we're not desperate and in need of friends. We can get on quite fine by ourselves, just the three of us. In fact, that's not a bad idea for next season's squad. Bagsy on pens.

I think if you're sharing a car then the financial advantage of shared (or free) petrol comes into play. But if you're sat on a train then Stella comes in to play, and she's much more fun.

In the old days we used to be able to play "Who can knock an old person over by hoying a rolled up newspaper out the window as the train pulls away from the station" but these modern days of safe, non-opening windows and CCTV means that we can't play that anymore.

I'm sure a few cans will get the old creativity flowing.

Afternoon

Random answer: The big one at the end of my road was just trimmed.

Afternoon JT.

We could take my car. That gives off similar sound effects to a train.

Random question: Ad, are you still banging that fat bird at the end of your road, the one you said had a really hairy arse?

Afternoon Lewis.

Why would we get the train?? Especially seeing as your offering to pay for the petrol before we leave.

£36 return is bloody good value.

But it will also be nice sat in Ad's air-conditioned bat-mobile, slurping beer and requesting piss stops when we need them... Safe in the knowledge that the petrol is already paid for!

*This is where he tells me we're getting the train!

Crabbeman has joined us on the same train from basingstoke.It will be so nice having a beer on the way down knowing we havnt got to stop the vehicle when we want a piss we can just stand up and stroll to the bog.
