Finch

[Colin Zeal EFM]

GHA, you're into all this nu-metal type crap. Have you heard of a band called Finch??

 

 

[GHA EFM]

If I was into all the nu-metal type crap, I may have been able to respond in the positive. However, seeing as I'm not into all the nu-metal type crap, you might want to ask MAD instead.

We met some Arsenal fans in Burger King last night. Must have been late teens. Three of them. And right twats.

 

They asked us (me and Thornsy) what team we supported, and we told them "St Albans City".

 

Their 'leader' turned round and laughed, "St Albans are crap. Arsenal would beat them".

 

Really? You don't say. Well you're really sticking your neck out there, aren't you??

 

[****!!****].

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Right.

 

Just a quick question. If they supported Spurs, then said 'St. Albans are crap. Spurs would beat them.' what would you say?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I'd say it'd be a close game!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

That last post wasn't a dig at you, GHA. Not even a dig at Arsenal either, actually. It was a dig at the moron we were unfortunate enough to encounter in Kings Cross Burger King.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

6-2 last time, wasn't it? Sol Campbell messed up a left footed clearance and from all of 25 yards Turns hit one, on the volley, which flew past Baaaardsen. Fantastic.

 

Fair enouh. You get morons around, unfortunately.

 

Why were you in Kings Cross?

 

And more importantly, the question arises...

[Colin Zeal EFM]

We were on our way back from seeing The Mock Turtles at LA2, now known as the Mean Fiddler. Finch were on next door in the Astoria - hence my original question.

 

Wasn't it Dominic Gentle who who made a fool of RSol and then scored??

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Any good?

 

Can't remember anything about the game apart from Turns' goal, unfortunately.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Very good. Hardly anyone there though. We were right at the front, and when we turned around, there was no-one behind us!!

 

Are you sure it was Turns??

 

 

[GHA EFM]

I'm pretty sure it was Turns. Yeah, I think it was Turns. No doubt some anorak statto like Laz will tell us who it actually was.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I thought the goals were Clarky and Dom. Then again, I was quite tanked up that night. All I really recall was taunting Ramon Vega all night!!

 

 

[GHA EFM]

I thought it was mid-afternoon?? Are we talking about the same match? How many Saints - Spurs friendlies have there been?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

 

No, it was a Tuesday night in August 1998.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Was that the only Spurs friendly we had?

 

Ah, Robbie Haworth in that shirt. I still remember how, reading the Match magazine pull out guide to Arsenal's double in 97-98, how the squad player profiles pages had a picture of the crappest player ever to grace an Arsenal shirt, Gilles Grimandi, battling it out with old Robbie in that very same kit. City, in a national football magazine. Fantastic it was. Tears formed.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

It's the only match against their First Team in recent years. We're definitely talking about the same match, GHA. We're just both a little hazy on the facts! Definitely evening kick off though!!

 

Still my all-time favourite City home shirt, that one!!

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Right. So who scored that goal?

 

It is a nice shirt, yes. Rumours that next season's home shirt will be like Parma's famous yellow and blue hoops have been quashed early on, by the way.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Thank God for that!

It was also the day when the first edition of "Marching On" went on sale

[SAINTS64MAD]

Ficnh are a very crappy band. I hate them. Not up to the Smiths or Stone Roses standard.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Thought as much!

 

Mind you, I've forgotten what The Stone Roses sound like. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
