No Saints Til Canvey

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I've got a bit of a gap between now and my next Saints game, which I'm sure is music to the ears of our club officials.

 

This Saturday I'm going to "the world-famous home of the Spurs" (as Willie Morgan used to say) to see Tottenham vs Leeds, and then on Monday I'm going to see Cambridge/Hull.

 

And then the following Saturday, whilst St Albans play bogey team Hayes, I'll be going to Tottenham vs Fulham, before heading down to Worthing for a spot of Chas'n'Dave.

 

So my next game will be the drinking session that is Canvey Island. Confirmed for the early start are... Zeal, Thorns, GHA, Trev and Libro.

 

Incidentally, EFM will all be missing the following Saturday (6th) for the Sutton game, as we're off to the second EFM wedding in the space of a year!!

no canvey till saints fo rme..

i cant get to 'arra' or maidenhead.. and i vowed last year never to watch purfleet again even if it was a 2nd round proper f.a. cup game replay with chelsea in the next round!

[ESG]

i for one think you and the merry bunch of pranksters will b missed...

 

as for last nite, 2nd half, i had the gang of four standing next me god they dont half moan mostly at your lot...

 

cheers again for the drinx, 5 grolsch's b4 k/off an interesting concept

 

being positive, what a great 2nd goal!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Gang of Four? - I'm trying to think who you mean.

 

As for the second goal, it was a lovely pass by Oakes to set it up, and a precise finish. Encouraging.

 

Any idea on the attendance? I couldn't have been far wrong with my guess of 180.

Don't make me laugh. He'll be busy washing his hair that day.

Hmm... Great turn out for the 'mighty' Saints! Ha ha ha!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ps. Good luck at Tottenham Zeal. Do they have any strikers left? Come to think of it, do they have any midfielders or defenders left...?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

LMU. Our turn-out last night was almost as impressive as your start to the season!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Do Spurs have any strikers left? Yes. We have Helder Postiga, Fredi Kanoute, Robbie Keane and Bobby Zamora.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Zeal. Official attendance was 315. Not sure where they were all hiding...

 

LMU. I washed my hair last week. Therefore it will be clean for Canvey. The Bonechapel match will be a different story. D'you reckon you'll have won a point by then?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

And Sergei Rebrov, who I don't think we've sold yet.

 

So that's five. Thanks for asking.

 

 

[Little Miss Urchin]

How many aren't injured?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Four.

So far, yes...?

Where's the Bahranian Terrorist, Big George, Elvis, and the rest (including the lot that turned up to help with the fundraising last season such as Geordie Dave, Sherwood, Morley etc)?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Being a Tuesday, I doubt the last three on your list will bother due to work.

 

I reckon Ben may come, but I think Costello is working and intends to meet us down there about six. Don't know about Carl.

 

It will be an exclusive group, GHA. Only a handful of us.

 

 

[EFM Trev]

The Geordie and Dave Morley will probably be working, and John is in Spain until the 31st August.

 

The mood of the Urchins does seem to have darkened since the pre-season, doesn't it? They're finding out that it's a bit more difficult in the Premier than knocking seven bells out of village teams in the Ryman 1. Mind you, Hornchurch is a village itself, isn't it?

[Little Miss Urchin]

With a quaint little pub team.

 

Zeal... But how many of your strickers will still be fit come Sunday? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (Should really curb my use of the winks with GHA around).

[GHA EFM]

When you say John is in Spain till 31st August, Trev. I presume you are saying that John cannot be contacted, and not that John can't make it, seeing as the match is 2nd September, yes?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

One would assume he's due back at work on September 1st, GHA, and unlikely to be on holiday again so soon.

 

 

[EFM Trev]

Absolutely. I should think he may well put in a cameo appearance, but I won't be able to ask him until he gets back. The joys of being a company director are such that I think he can take more or less whatever time he needs off. And he does enjoy the Canvey trip, bless him...

[GHA EFM]

What chances of CANV flying to our fair city, parking the 747 in the big station car park behind the old prison, and meeting us at the station?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I'm not convinced John will be coming!

[CANV EFM]

i shall be leaving my highly paid job at midday i will meet any hardcore EFM any where they wish for pre match pints.. zero int the 12 year old brigade.. if you can select a group of three i will give you a lift from london to sarfend and we can commence there
