Good Luck in the League - Part 4

[BlueGate Alan]

Had to start this thread & try and get as many good wishes on here for the lads for Saturday. Was a superb performance from you last night, keep up this sort of play & sheer energy you are showing at the moment & the run will continue for sure. Us fans will be there in force with you again on Saturday & will be right behind you. Do it for the mighty 'gate please lads!

 

Come on!

[djw]

Second that one Alan - See you Saturday for another fine win for the gate !

[AncientBlue]

Another crunch game, but after Tuesday's match there can't be much doubt that you can do it again! GOOD LUCK! I'm sure the supporters will be out in force again to back you up.

I am going to Tonbridge on saturday from Herne Bay if anyone wants a lift.

Continue with the way you've been playing & you will be hitting the headlines again but most of all we will be somwhere near getting three points. Keep up the momentum,dont be afraid of the opposition & continue & maintain this consistency. Saturday is going to be even HARDER than Tuesday night but you can step up again from that. You are more than capable if the attitude is right.Do as you have been doing & you can take this in your stride.All the best!

Ah, my cheery gate mates, Tonbridge have their own Danny Hockton in the guise of one Jon Main. He is close on Dannys heels as to goals scored. So if we can keep the Main man subdued who is to say we will not be Top of the League on Saturday.

 

Though Tonbridge will be fresher than us (they have not played midweek) the momentum is with us and we CAN do it and WILL do it.

 

Abdullah the Gate!

Midfield has to keep their playmaker (CK's nearly man)Kember in check

Remember how me and my brother conquered Kent. Well you already show the true spirit and guts that would have got into our army. We conquered Bromley and now for Tonbridge.

OK Joseba, give us a clue then or rather, a translation!

[I am Spartacus]

You obviously do nor know your ancient language then.

 

Here Hengest and Horsa fought against King Vortigern in the place that is called Aylesford, and his brother Horsa was killed, and after that Hengest and his son AEsc took the kingdom.

I was just going to say that Joseba, beat me too it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

All the know relative material regarding the Jutish conquest of kent, including the passage by Joseba god im sad.

 

 

A.D. 449. This year Marcian and Valentinian assumed the empire,

and reigned seven winters. In their days Hengest and Horsa,

invited by Wurtgern, king of the Britons to his assistance,

landed in Britain in a place that is called Ipwinesfleet(now Ebbsfleet); first

of all to support the Britons, but they afterwards fought against

them. The king directed them to fight against the Picts; and

they did so; and obtained the victory wheresoever they came.

They then sent to the Angles, and desired them to send more

assistance. They described the worthlessness of the Britons, and

the richness of the land. They then sent them greater support.

Then came the men from three powers of Germany; the Old Saxons,

the Angles, and the Jutes. From the Jutes are descended the men

of Kent, the Wightwarians (that is, the tribe that now dwelleth

in the Isle of Wight), and that kindred in Wessex that men yet

call the kindred of the Jutes. From the Old Saxons came the

people of Essex and Sussex and Wessex. From Anglia, which has

ever since remained waste between the Jutes and the Saxons, came

the East Angles, the Middle Angles, the Mercians, and all of

those north of the Humber. Their leaders were two brothers,

Hengest and Horsa; who were the sons of Wihtgils; Wihtgils was

the son of Witta, Witta of Wecta, Wecta of Woden. From this

Woden arose all our royal kindred, and that of the Southumbrians

also.

 

A.D. 449. And in their days Vortigern invited the Angles

thither, and they came to Britain in three ceols, at the place

called Wippidsfleet.

 

A.D. 455. This year Hengest and Horsa fought with Wurtgern the

king on the spot that is called Aylesford. His brother Horsa

being there slain, Hengest afterwards took to the kingdom with

his son Esc.

 

A.D. 457. This year Hengest and Esc fought with the Britons on

the spot that is called Crayford, and there slew four thousand

men. The Britons then forsook the land of Kent, and in great

consternation fled to London.

 

A.D. 465. This year Hengest and Esc fought with the Welsh, nigh

Wippedfleet; and there slew twelve leaders, all Welsh. On their

side a thane was there slain, whose name was Wipped.

 

A.D. 473. This year Hengest and Esc fought with the Welsh, and

took immense Booty. And the Welsh fled from the English like

fire.

 

A.D. 488. This year Esc succeeded to the kingdom; and was king

of the men of Kent twenty-four winters.

It actually says..... Here Hengest, the Margate number 7, whipped the football to his brother Horsa leaving Ramsgate’s Wytgeorne cringing at his poor show of a tackle and how he left goalie Agoelesprep exposed. 7 minutes later Horsan slogged the ball to Hengest who did his often panned faint move on opposite number AEsu before hitting his second
