The bloke who took a cab back to his hotel (the Columbia, Lancaster Gate) and, for a trip that was about the same as Central Station to the Borough Arms, paid the princely sum of .............. £28.

He'd been on it most of the night mind you.

On the way back up the M1 we were listening to Radio 1 and someone requested Muse Hysteria, topped the day off very nicely - I wish they still came out to that at the HJ.

That is being used in my sig.

My first post on here but have been a regular viewer for months.

Me and the family travelled to Watford (my home town) on Friday evening from Warrington (my adopted home town) with the car decked out with flags and ribbons and parked in my parents street outside a house decked out in primrose and blue.

The owners had seen us drive past and came to the door for a chat - I think that may have something to do with me dancing around with Wire flags outside their house. Only about 50 yards from where i grew up!

Being a Watford football fan I've seen limited success (2 play-off final wins at the old Wembley & Cardiff) and they were real highlights. However, I've never seen a team I support win a national cup final and it felt better.

Well done to the players and supporters for making it such a great day.

C'MON THE WIRE.

Was it Natters?

Heh heh!

Great weekend as usual and all the Wire fans were fantastic.

Highlights include

- Winning my bet on first try scorer. Cheers Richie!



- Seeing DJ Birchy and the Wire fans in our group nervous for a change as opposed to the other way around!

-The manager in O'Neils bar (Euston) getting agitated as Wire songs were being sung.


It was a good game and it was nice for Warrington to win it (while Saints weren't there!!).

Congratulations guys.

I'd like to know who the other Wire fans were who were serenading a middle-aged black bloke who looked a bit like Louie Armstrong with "It's A Wonderful World". On a tube somewhere in Central London. Funny as hell, and the guy took it in great spirit.

ditto my daughter had richie mathers 1st try..16/1just added to a great weekend

We didn't do too bad on winning margin: won back the money we'd lost on first try scorer and Lance todd winner anyway!

Three of us were dressed as banana-men which is a predominantly yellow and blue outfit - and when we were going around the London after the game we were asked many times why we were dressed that way - were we from Sweden or Chelsea supporters or on a stag do. It was also amazing how many young ladies wanted to have their photo's taken with us. Its the first time in my life that I could ever be described as a babe magnet.
