Ass Manager

So now it's clear why John the 'Ass Manager' ended up single!! Some girls just don't like it up trap two!!

Funniest moment of 08 for me has to be a pretty old one against Fairhaven away. It was more a picture moment but still the image in my mind always brings a smile.
Let me set the scene, Dezzy has just thrown everything out of the pram when the news he was on the bench filtered through. Refusing to take part in the warm up Dezzy sits in the provided 4 seater bench, similar to the ones at the Tech. The longest face, hands under the chin with his elbows resting on his knees, you could almost cry for the fella he looked that sad. The only thing stopping you from crying was Neil stood right next to him having a piss up against the side Dezzy was sat on!! A great moment for me.

Mercer, Head of Finance, lucky!! You're Mum will be the proudest.

Have a nice Christmas lads, lets try to avoid the 'wantancy' to over indulge.

Can I come back please

Alrite lads, I'd like to know if it was ok if I came back, ive turned into a total team player! you can ask anyone at Wrens where ive been outstanding all the time. They love me there, they were saying that I could play at a really high level because of my skill and talent. I really think you lot would reap the rewards if I came back, I'm a changed man!!!!!

PS if I came back atleast it would give Hopesy someone to talk to on the bench everyweek!!!!!!!!!

own up.....

..... been a while since the last wind up, who is the genius?

Steve Mercer | Mon, 12/01/2009 - 22:45

Merchant

The wind-up merchant is none other than Hopesy!! Reeling from the accusations of leaving 'the note' on Downing's car and claiming "always to get the blame" he probably thought he may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, baaa

There's only one Ben Hopes

Save the call to Miss Marple and have a word with the one, the only Ben Hopesy.
Where does he get this pure gold comedy material?
