As I understand it you’ll not be there for the morning game or the after game dinner Kanji? What are your Saturday evening plans?

(Just a reminder it’s after game drinks 17:00-19:30 watching Chelsea v Arsenal 17:30. Meal is 19:45-21:15)

FEVER PITCH

 

Anticipation continues to build ahead of this weekends Lockwood Cup finals, as we finally hit the triangle, but this time there'll be no Pink as the three sides run out in Black, White and Blue respectively.

 

Much discussion has taken place in the weeks leading up to this tantalising tournament finale and the taste buds of many fans are being tickled with the prospect of such an exciting set of encounters.

 

The games, scheduled to be played on the morning of Saturday 21st October, lend themselves to the morning larks as they start early, at 09:30 with the Whites playing host to the Blues at Estadio PowerLeagio.

 

The Daisies have made many a change to their squad from last time out with Lockwood Cup board member @LFEE leading the line up and no doubt keen to make his mark from deep, languishing between the defence and midfield as the Whites anchor. Opposition fans seemingly opting to shorten this position in their unsavoury rapport. Meanwhile, all isn't changed whilst there remains @Theregulars. No doubt looking to pick the lock, @Nees will be the midfield monster.

 

Moving onto the Blues, rumour has it that @Sewelly is under fire following digging up the penalty spot during training in an act that he thought was Purely Belter and likewise @Danh1 and @IanW are under review for illegal betting on the height of @NEEJ, who apparently wore studded boots last season so to fix successful punts for his fellow Bluepers. Whether they manage to field a side remains to be seen, but if they do, the Blue Tits will be looking to fly to victory.

 

And finally, we have The Black's. They'll be looking to capitalise on fatigued opposition when they first run out in front of the vocal Lockwood crowd. Will The Dementors steal the trophy with @Slim pickings against superior opposition? Who knows, but what we do know is The Daisies and Tits will have to enter the dark side to snatch wins with @Yorkie performances and prove that their sides are not for girls.

Ginger Pirlo touches down; he surveys the misty scene.

 

The ground is wet - is it rain, or the tears of opponents vanquished and future? 
 

He crouches, squints - looks for the moon. It’s invisible; he howls anyway. 
 

The city shudders: it has been warned.

What time people planning on actually arriving?

 

(searching through all my old posts to find who I've accumulated some kind of grudge for over the last 17 years)

 

I'm sure people will be turning up from 9am onwards, if not before. You're a White, so first up, so ideally be there by 09:20 at the absolute latest, as (with six games) it's really important we get started on time.

Sorry for not catching this earlier - was traveling on Thursday. We’re taking the train up shortly here to get into town. Post match we don’t have much planned apart from seeing as many of you as possible before your dinner.

Having my coffee and water breakfast on the train. Listening to "Lose Yourself" by Eminem to hype myself up. Let's go Blues and howay the Toon!

Reading this I have visions of you just chewing handfuls of coffee beans and sipping Harrogate water. Is this an accurate representation :lol:
