FA Cup Weekend @ GM's -- 29/30.Jan.2005

BBC

29th Jan

Southampton v Portsmouth - promises to be a cracker. Harry Redknapps first game against his former club. For those that dont know their football, Portsmouth HATE Southampton with a passion and vice versa. For Harry Redknapp to take charge of the rival team is like George Bush suddenly becoming a Democrat, its unheard of!!

Man U v Middlesbrough - will be shown afterwards.

30th Jan

OLDHAM v Bolton - Can my beloved Latics claim their 2nd big scalp of the competition. I doubt it, but you never know with the FA Cup! (Now in a dilemma as whether to go skiing or not )

OK, so plan. I want to do an Old Skool style day. So I'll pick up some papers from Ostbanhof, meet around 2pm(I think 1st game is at 3pm), have a few beers, watch the game and the results come in.

Anyone want to come?

Mate I would love to be there for that - though most of the ties aren't much cop I would love to see Oldham v Bolton with you. Rest assured that I'll be cheering you on from London somewhere.

sorry m8 already got plans for that day, next time though!

OK, I'm still planning on watching the Saturday game. I wont be out for my Latics game, but Owain Glywndor has offered to record it on SKY+ for me for when I get back from skiing.

I think its unlikely I will run in to a Latics fan that knows the score on a ski slope in Austria!!

I could well be forced to watch my boys kick the living stink out of Pompey!

I will prob be there for the Manure vs. Red Gods* but it might be same procedure as last time (i.e. I wave at you lot from across the pub).
* Norwich??? Why, for the sake of God, why?

what time is the ManU vs. "Shite Team from up North*" match on?
are they showing it live?

* well, you did call my team manure, after all

18:20 kick off CET (5:20pm GMT) and live on BBC1* Does this clash with rugby btw?
*Topsy, bugger off xxx

LOL - I'll see how I get on with me assignment, might see you there.

Southampton v Portsmouth kicks off tomorrow at 1.30pm.

Anyone coming? I'll pick up a couple of papers from Ostbanhof.

Maybe, but its not going to turn into an all nighter!



P

Nope, I'm skiing the next day.

I'll be there about 1pm

Do you mean the 6 Nations? Well only if they play extra time and then penalties which go on for 8 days...
