Title: Monday 25th - I'll not be around...
Post by: Leon on 24 May 2015, 10:51:40 PM
This Bank Holiday will see Middlesbrough vs Norwich in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.  After many seasons languishing in the Championship, this is Boro's chance to get back to the Premier League and the cash that it brings.  Our chairman has ploughed millions into the club for years now, keeping us afloat at all costs, and this could be his reward for all that support.

As a result, my only plans for Monday are to watch this game, hopefully to a positive conclusion!

And even if it doesn't go our way, we're going to see the Foo Fighters in Sunderland straight after the match, so that should cheer me up!

Good luck !

I might listen to the game, while I'm working.  ;)

This is an informal warning for taking unauthorised leave Leon.

Enjoy the kissball.

As much as I detest kissball, I hope Boro go up and not just because I live in Ipswich but because it'll stop the war at work between Nag and Canary fans which is wearing very very thin.

Have a good day Leon - more than earnt!

Your definition of fun is clearly different from mine :)

Cricket as fun - in third place behind watching paint dry and bird baths evaporate.  =)

Cricket is one of the few real sports left.

Kissball has become more theatre than WWF.

Well that wasn't how I planned it in my head...  >:(  Luckily we were watching it at home and hadn't shelled out £100's to go down to Wembley for it.

And the Foo Fighters were outstanding, they more than made up for the Boro disappointment.

We were sat up in the first tier for most of it, then we went down on the floor for the last half-hour or so.  2 1/2 hours of rocking, and a bit of Queen thrown in made my night.

I think Thin Lizzy in 82 was still my favourite,though Dave Lee Roth was pretty awesome
