Blog post: Wake Up Call

Haha. I would say 'next time' give me a crack, but there won't be a next time. Reining it in. A pint in tarn, couple in Redders, jobs a good un. Lost count of how many I necked yesterday, and as big headed as I like to be at times, I can't actually handle it.

 

Just to back up what whiteys comments regarding Hemmsy, having spent a bit of time chatting to him yesterday he came across as a lovely lad and very quietly spoken. He even admitted himself that he'd gone too far on occasions, what I will say having met and spoke to him I would definitely cut him a bit of slack but it would be unfair for me to put the reason why on a public forum.

 

Thing is, Roy does exactly that. But I ignore him. I know the answer, It's to drink less, and drink slower. I even asked Ben to get me one in. Proper bellend.

 

I've met him a few times and he's a nice lad. I always took piss out of him on here and he knew I was only pillocking him, but some people really did target him.

He never bought me a pint though, so I hope his ban is still upheld

 

Dust yourself off and forget about it mate. We all know you're a bellend regardless of how many pints you've had, but don't beat yourself up about it

 

Laughing at thi???, I get grabbing thi and telling thi to watch game, at one point I even grabbed thi head and turned to face pitch and told thi to shurrup arguing or else tha were gonna get kicked art!!

 

For someone to first meet Phil, having read his **** on here, it'd be like reading Nightmare's stuff and then meeting him only to find a bloke married to a Muslim who dunt drink.

 

I thought you were coming on to me, mate.

But seriously, you do your best. I ought to know better. I get out the ground and am chilled, polite, no language etc. I blame Wiseman.

 

It was Dave's. His round included the growlers though. We're not daft.

 

I'll add my thanks to all the others for your account of yesterday. Always nice to hear mouthpieces of the club being candid (well, I'm assuming that he was, and not just saying things you wanted to hear). I suspect though that what Ben said was his honest opinion about things and it's good to hear it.

I don't expect to hear all the ins and outs of contract negotiations - they should be private and remain so. But it would be good, now and then, to hear that "Barnsley get £10 million for top goalscorer or up and coming England international" instead of "Sorry - he's gone and we are not telling you how much your favourite player has gone for".

As everyone else has said though, yesterday was a nightmare and I thought we had seen the back of those when last season ended. I certainly didn't expect us to be shipping fives at home in THIS division!. Answer is obvious though - we just go out at Fleetwood and do the same to them. Get that goal difference back up, get some more points on the board. Then.....do it again at Vale Park!

 

It's a good thing that I'll not be at Oakwell again for a while. Doing Huddersfield Tuesday. They're like Sheffield Wednesday. Rochdale away next, probably be with the Dale lads though and I'll be on my best behaviour. Doing a piece for them for the programme. Should be fun.

 

Piss easy.

 

Me & thee are going to have to meet up and have a drink, old mate. I think you're entitled to one of my cuddles, or bear hugs!

 

We could have a group hug

 

So long as mine's non-alcoholic.

 

Your arms aren't long enough, John!

 

At least they're not as short as my legs
