Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room The Cycling/Footy thread (ttfkaRads)

We begin (the beguine) in some place called "Burnley", apparently somewhere in the North of England. They say it's awfully grim up there.

End of August in some other place called "Everton" which seems unknown even to Google Maps. Possibly some other hamlet north of Oxford?

We'll be bringing in the New Year with Rads' lads, can't be bad. We'll bring the champers!

We have quite an easy start then in September Everton at home followed by Spurs away the week after.

At the tail end of the season we have the run in from hell with most of the top 6

Btw re cycling and music I'm seething here , the third edition of La Mitica departing from Fausto Coppi's home village on Sunday and I've got to accompany my little princess to San Siro to see One friggin bastard Direction ! 11 hours of my life and a bike race thrown away Me and her friend's Dad are going to have the worst ever Sunday of our lives.

Too right! They could've chosen a better venue!

It's a good job I seen the Levellers on me birthday in Belgium
