Used to see them for a drink most games along with their mum. Her parties at new year were legendary!!!
Got threw out of Walsall with Pat for celebrating in their terrace behind the goal with Pat and a few other blues when The Goat scored 99/00 season sending us top......
Also, was with that trio outside the Springbok Pub/Off Licence @ Loftus Road mid 90's trying to get the K I N K Y song going....... 'There was a man from Dynamo Kinkladze was his name...o.... Franny Lee said sign him up......'
It did take off eventually!

I was able to produce material (thanks to many contributors), but at the end of the day myself and one or two others stood by the ground just couldn't physically sell enough copies between us to make it viable.
It was great fun doing it though. And make quite a few new friends thanks to it. And thanks to all who enjoyed it.
It'd be good to see a relaunch of Chips 'n' Gravy....... When it was at its full pelt we weren't in the same world as what we are now.... Is Mike contributing to any other Fanzine's at the moment does anyone know? Seen Les and Pat last season at Wolves but not seen them for a while since leaving Manchester.
Not convinced they couldn't sell enough between them; they had a few while there were only usually two of us!
Anyway, I see Pat and Les most weeks; Pat maybe on here. I think Mike's moved abroad, although I can't remember where.

would never buy it because that prick dave wallace became a self proclaimed spokesman for all city fans or so he thought,
the media had his number they would phone him up he would spout a load of tripe that was his opinion and the press would then run with the line that is what all city fans thought.
there was time when I nearly lost it with wallace but didn't have the heart to spark out an old looser
did ask him once at that preseason at preston what was the official view of city fans for the forthcoming season ?
spineless cvnt that he was just tried to laugh it off so I told him that if he shot his mouth off again I would be speaking to him and as I was in a ten season spell that saw me miss only three games he also knew he would be seeeing me
he did seem to give less opinions after that though
A loser is someone who can't spell loser correctly. I know Dave and he pisses himself laughing at pricks like you.whp.blue said:kotk :
