thought it was miles better than under dogface away .... swindon played well in the last five minutes , apart from douglas effort just after the break.. for me Butler and Lancashire were solid again . fair play to dogface, Butler is the signing of the season for me.
must say I wouldn't want to upset that new french bloke ...he looks more like a boxer than a footballer !!!!good player though on that evidence.

Did you have a red shirt on with "I love Bonser" on it :wink:

If so, I spoke to you when I came in. You were sitting on the leather sofa. I was with my son (long blond hair) and SWS1


Ah.. I also know who you are now. Charming T Shirt!


Thanks, hope it didn't upset to many people,
No point acting like a lot of people don't think the same anyway,

My lad said to me "I bet he didn't buy that in the club shop" :D I replied that if Bonser thought he could make a few quid selling them you might see them advertised next week :D

I'll be honest and say I wasn't keen on my ten year-old spending much time in your vicinity in that T-shirt.

Understand kc , i did get to the back of the stand with the grown ups , I would of felt guilty if I was infront of a youngster.

Had a lot of people have good reactions to it, no one looked. At me funny and no one said anything negative, but I understand , to some it wouldn't of been there cup of tea

I agree with Chester but I felt that, on occasion, Leddie could have used the ball a bit better - mainly with a more simple pass, rather than carrying on trying to bamboozle the full back (which he was quite capable of doing). He's very comfortable on the ball and will be an asset with a bit of expert coaching from the star Walsall team of coaches.

I just watched a recording of the Liverpool v United game and football's most expensive Englishman - Andy Caroll - looked like that too.
It's to be expected.

I agree - wouldn't have wanted to explain it away to a youngster. As well as bespoke designs... it seems shops sell this kind of thing anyway now (not about Bonser!. No getting away from it. I understand the sentiment, but not my cup of tea.

The "youngster" with me on that day just smirked... but my youngest had he been there would probably have read it out loud.

I obviously took the opportunity for a Kodak moment.
Why wasn't I watching the game?! Haha!

My schnurrbart is certainly looking the part though!

The video clips of us at Swindon on the BBC really do make it appear as though we never got a look-in, attack-wise. I thought we had a few more chances and half chances than that but, Hey! we got our point. I'd settle for the same tonight but would be thrilled if we got 3... :shock:
