Morning all,have just watched the vey funny Ricky Tomlinson in a programme on ITV2,called dave bassett england manager,he has just taken charge of a lower division club called Wirral county,based not a million miles away from Ellesmere Port and get this, one of the supporters shouts to him lets stick one up that Chester scum ! terrible tv,however i did laugh when i saw who the shirt sponsers were,a company called Wirral Rubbish,now who do we know a Wirral side not to far away in league one.The matchday mascot was dressed up as a wheely bin.Did anyone else see this,your thoughts please.2 more days till we beat Rochdale.

Whatever next?

Why do people get all excited about Chester being mentioned on TV?

Before we know it, we'll have people posting topics like:

"OMG I SAW CHESTER ON THE WEATHER AFTER THE NEWS, IT SAID ON THE SCREEN!!"

Its not a case of getting excited just thought it would be interesting to see peoples thoughts on this new football themed comedy series which just happens to be local.Looking fowrd to friday

I found rather funny that it said in a local E port newspaper that the mayor got upset by some of the insulting comments about the port. The mayor said 'i'd like to take Ricky up on his comments. The port can hold its head up high. And the local girls are fantastic. This town is on the up with more improvements, renovations and buildings than i've seen in my life. It's not on deriding us like this.'
Some people just can't take a joke. Most of the stuff he said was true anyway.

Theres also a fat right back who is the club sponsors son. He was asking if the game was 90 minutes again this week.
Also, the super intelligent player who always got the mick taken out of him for being intelligent (Andy Harris was a mensa member).
I am wondering which ground they use to film some of the basics though?

Isn't it MIKE Bassett????

This is old news! saw that episode last week,waiting to see how far Mike puts wirral in the sh*t

Firstly, it is old news. Secondly it is MIKE BASSETT: MANAGER, not Dave Bassett: England Manager, and thirdly what exactly makes Ellesmere Port girls fantastic according to the town's mayor? Is it the three-hundred and fourty eight thousand layers of make-up or the Fred Perry trackies?

For one moment then i thought they had sacked Ericsson and replace with the cheeky cockney Dave.

saw ricky thomlison at the gateway on Sunday evening and his opening remarks were "Chester City my a***" He also mentioned that there would be alot of references to CCFC in the next episode - on tonight. I thought it was a very funny programme - similar to the film. definitely worth watching.

I personally thought it was juvenile humour done better before.

If you don't have a baby by the age of 13 your not cool.

Yep my appologies for getting title of programme wrong was early hours when i posted it,looking foward to tonites episode,have tried to find out which ground its filmed without success.If anyone does know would be interested to find out.Looking foward to our game tomorrow night.Come on you Blues

I might be wrong but it looked like Crewe Alexandra from what I could make out watching last week's episode.

Brentford home, Wycombe Away

Come on HC, bit harsh. It's the first episode and they have to get people talking about it. Anybody who has seen the film (most footy fans) would know what to expect. I agree with you it is slightly childish but it is in a similar vein to 'The Office' where you cringe alot! Intelligent people see through this and appreciate the football related under tones! Next episode tonight at 12.00pm on ITV1, whoi knows I may agree with you after watching episode 2! But I think I'll give it a chance. After working hartd all day and making decisions for other people it's quite good to have a bit of banal humour to chill out too!

Thats great,thanks for that,surprised they didn't use a ground in the local area

Couldn't agree more.

Its 10.00 tonight not 12.00.

I thought it was ok, hope it gets better which I'm sure it will.

and still not one of them girls would look at you mancot

Sorry I got the time wrong! I meant to write 10.00pm!

How p**sed off would you be if you stayed up just watch that and at 12.00 you turn on ITV and Prisoner Cell Block H came on instead

Wouldn't be the first time! I suppose it could be worse - Jordan and Peter do the washing up together, go shopping, have a very pink wedding kind of documentary/fly on the wall! At least Cell Block H had some real people in it!

Hey i never said i wouldn't watch it again. I probably should've said i'll watch it, but not necessairly go out of my way to do so. Although i'm not entirely sure of the bold comment.

Are they the sort of girl you aspire to pull Statto? Dont have very high standards do you. Beggers cant be choosers I guess.

I should hope so and all, I wouln't stoop that low down the society chain! Perhaps you are more suited to meet their needs... or vice versa

In case you didn't know, "vice versa" means da otha way round init, laaaaaarrrr

Nice one laaaaaarrr

Nothing intended by the comment. Was not implying that you are intelligent or not, sorry to offend you. Just that normal prople would appreciate it even though it is not likely to find it itself on MENSA'a watch list! (Must ask Andy Harris what he thought of it!)

No offense caused at all mate. Christ, it's not like i offend people on here is it?

ashleigh my girlfreind is a 1000 times nicer than you love and also you have NO room to talk lady.

Out of order that Statto

Statto, dude, shes going out with you! I refuse to belive anyone with even the slightest hint of good looks would even look at you. You obnoxious, cocky, ginger....

A touch personal isn't it? Any need for that? At least she can talk - innit laaaaarrr

Is your girlfriend anything like you by any chance? Do you wine her (White Lightning) and dine her (KFC) in your favourite eating place (sat on the wall, outside the Spar)?

If you can't take it, don't dish it out... laaaaarrr

lol phill mancot and ashley have tried to mock me so dont have a go at me mate ashleigh i could stand here all day and critisize but im gunna walk away now cya

and that wasent out of order phill one rule for one and one for another i think finno is right

Nice touch with the ginger reference FMBD!



Aww, lost the argument have you? Bye bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye...

we will talk about this face to face mancot alright i have better things to do in my life than sit at home and shag the pc like you mancot oh keep trying at football you might be able to kick the ball one day

Thought u had gone

What has Finno said mate?

oh F**K off

How do you know I do that to my PC? Not that I do of course, but are you perving on me or something? That's sick! As for the football reference - you're getting a bit cocky aren't you? What was it that Jepson said? His baby grandchild has more mobility than you? As for your little signature, weren't you captain for one game due to the absence of the team's regular captain? Hez is captain now. Did Woody not mention it to you? You're living off one pathetic past "glory" mate. Move on with your life, take your missus to KFC for a treat.

who needs mobility when you can score 25 goals lad take your bird oh F**K u aint got one coz ur a retard and have u seen the state of jepson,mancot do u live in stoke now coz i am going to chester now if ya wanna talk about this no good doing it behind the pc

U still training tonight Statman?

Sooooooo Mike Bassett then hey

yes of course just because ppl stcik up for one member and against another aint gunna stop me

Oh good

Nath isnt in the team anymore, but he's one of my good mates still

Don't stop, better than Eastenders this....

Sorry to intrude, but for anyone who is interested here is tonights episode of Mike Bassett in nice concise pieces.

Wouldn't it be rather difficult for a retard to get into University?

I thought we were supposed to be talking about Mike Bassett?

Bear, how dare you try to steer this back to the original thread topic... I'd much rather see Statto square up to mancot via PC and make a fool of himself. Looks like John Hartson i'd heard....

Always liked Mike Bassett!
