Pompey, Cardiff, and Plymouth, still looking forward to the Aldershot most though

I thought Pompey hadn't been confirmed as definite yet?

I'm not going to any pre-season matches except one local lower league match.

I hate pre-season matches.

Definitely a better work out for the players compared to recent years.  Even the lesser teams this time are either conference or league 2 so should provide us with good tests.

Not sure on the date of Aldershot but a quick look on FGW and a return fare is only £15.  I just want to tick the ground off my list!

I remember playing Pompey a few seasons back....Teddy Sheringham turned out for them and provided good pre match ents by giving Rocking Robin a good kicking.

  Turbo scored an absolute screamer....I think his only 1st team goal at teh CG.

That game was 2-2 wasn't it Reg? Think we had a fair few there for that as well if i remember rightly. We'll be playing the FA Cup holders then no matter what. Probably won't bother with Muff or Cardiff at home but will go to Pompey. Don't care about Alder what ever they're called. I don't want to be reminded of league 2 again.

 Yep 2-2, can't remember the season.

  If you miss Aldershot, then you'll be missing the Ardiles sponsored TEF piss up in the best pub in Hampshire.

Didn't Sheringham turn up at half-time because of bad traffic or something?! I also remember Brian Howard tackling somebody with his head and Steve Stone managing to get himself booked. That can be quite an achievement in a friendly

It was the play-off season in 03/04 i think Reg  :wink:

Parkin got the other one and Turbo was right wing back.

It might have been the game we deployed Migz as a centre half as well...

That's a great pre-season! And I only miss the Pompey game whilst I'm away! Superb

Shame the Aldershot fixture has disappeared though  :|

good number and level of matches ... Plymouth at home will be ideal prep ahead of new season

well done Mr Magic!

Yes but it was youth team and trialists, i'll be there again as you can drink on the terrace! What happened to the Aldershot game though?

i'd imagine it would be the same again. seems odd playing away at a non-local non-league team two seasons in a row, when theres no link (i can think of) between the two teams.

Considering we apparantly have two games the next day, I'd guess it will be the same!!!

Ardiles will be gutted....

   Going back to the Pompey friendly....was that the game where Tim Sherwood, minced around trying to kick people because he was that crap.....what an arsehole, someone should have given him a slap.

Have you re-built your shed yet?

I'm working at Haywards Heath for a week in June and thought I would be uber cheeky and live in it for a week.

Do you have an outhouse?

No not yet, that'll be a summer job because the roof leaks. I've been getting more important things sorted like getting Sky installed!

I'm probably gonna get this hopelessly wrong, but didn't Turbo also score against QPR at home one season (I think we won 3-1)??

Am gutted the Hungerford game is on Aug 1st - my 'hometown' team  but I'm at Edgbaston for the cricket - think I'll be bombing it back down the M5 to get back for that!

 Its entirely possible...I remember SSP scoring in that one and doing his shirt twirl.....think England had just won the egg chasing as well.

I'm sure that game was 1-1.  Sabin was useless for them upfront, irrc.

 Again it's entirely possible...I'd completely forgotten about Eric at QPR.

 Its always slightly disconcerting when large chunks of you life seem to have disappeared from recall.....

Ha, you're WRONG!

The shirt twirl was when he scored his 25th goal of the season in the 2002/03 season.

The game which was after the egg chasing stuff was the 1-1 draw in the 2003/04 season.

Although Parkin did score!

  Right so, egg chasing win, SSP scores but doesn't shirt twirl, but he does shirt twirl in the 3-1 right?

shirt twirl 3-1, think heywood and turbo got the others.

1-1 rugby wc, parkin header from about 12 yards as the keeper challenged with him from deep gurney cross

Post by: reeves4england on Monday, May 12, 2008, 22:53:35
If I remember correctly, the 1-1 draw was the game where Parkin nodded in a delightful cross-field ball from Gurney with the keeper charging out towards him. Superb goal.
