NYC: Fulham v. Hull Shitty - Sat. 8/16, 2:15pm, Nevada's

Awwww, yeah . . it's about that time again, friends!! I held off, I waited, I didn't want to start a thread till it was just right, but in the interest of getting everybody on the same page, I thought I'd do it just over a week in advance.

So, the word is - the match will be on tape delay! What do you guys expect when a newly promoted team and a team who were only safe last year based on goal differential go head to head? We'll be okay.

I know Nick is down to show up, Jon is in England (far far from Hull) . . Rudy Ruettiger? John "Bobby" Fischer? Who else?? Oh, and can we all hear no evil and see no evil until 2:15 that day?

Sound off!

P.S. Umm...are we all showing up this year with Bullard on our backs or is it still gonna be a Dempsey party? Mwahaha . . I went retro shopping during the offseason, but got the new home shirt with Davies on the back.

 

Unfortunately, turns out I'm not going to be able to make it. I agreed to some plans with my folks without thinking about what else was going on that day, and now I can't really get out of them. I'll be with you in spirit, and with you in person next time.

 

Looks like I'm out, too. My M-I-L's birthday is next Friday, and a party is planned, as it may be her last. I was INCREDIBLY looking forward to this one -- UGH!!!

Oh, HD -- that reminds me of my father's story: 1967 on a London bus, the Cockney conductor realizes that my family is American and asks where we're from. His response was (do your own accent on this): "Brooklyn?! Innat where thay tawk sow funnay?!?"

 

Hull Shitty....ha-ha!

 

It's such a cheap play on words, but it's pleasing to the eyes and the ears. Couldn't help myself!

Anyway, sad to see Rudy and Josh won't be here. It's on tape delay so it's understood. This game won't be on FSC, so I will definitely be there to watch because there's really no other choice.

Hope to see some guys come out.

 

Don't worry Geoff. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII will be there and IIIIIIIIIIIII will avoid soccer like the plague that morning. And IIIIIIIIIIIIII will be in my Dempsey jersey because IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII don't want to buy a new Fulham jersey when the one I got is only a few months old.

Note: Why not call them Hull Twente? That's about where they'll end up.

 

I will be there with my nameless shirt and I will studiously avoid seeing the result.

While we're on this subject, I wanted to do some retro shopping, but other than ebay, I didn't really know where to start. Any suggestions?

 

Sounds like fun, maybe I'll take some leave and head up to NYC one of the gamedays this season since I know a bunch of people who live up there anyway.

 

ebay is the joint, really. i've had good luck there.

I was just being a dick.

 

What happened to Moustache man?

 

Who's "moustache man"?

 

the dude with the moustache!! and the black betfair.com jersey

 

I always forget his name

He showed up for the Portsmouth match, but he (like us) couldn't get in, so we all wandered around for awhile trying (unsuccessfully) to find another place to watch it.

 

Ohhhhh now I know who you're talking about. And I'm completely blanking on his name too.

 

I think the confusion lay in the fact that he grew a beard.

(Oh, and I forgot his name, too!)

 

He always posts here and never fails to mention the moustache. He was a regular for a little while and then fell off the face of the earth. Didn't he move or something? He needs to get back on here and holla at his boys.
