Ever been in the doghouse for attending a Charlton match?

Met my now wife on 93 she said I was going Charlton before so never argues most home games

the bus?

ha ha no I meant 1993.
;-)

After my wife had just given birth to our youngest son, I popped out to take the scrubs off, and when I came back in to see her, I said, 'Di Canio's just equalised against Man City, It's 1-1.' I admit, I could've picked a better time…

When me and wife no1 were both student teachers, I rented a car to drive to see us away at Middlesborough. Think it was about 1991 and Lennie had just taken over there. Turned out the petrol guage didn't work on the car and the steering wheel had to be half turned to make it go straight. When we got there - she insisted on coming for the day to sulk- we were in the uncovered corner of Ayrseome park. The silence on the very long and foggy drivie back was as frosty as it could be! This was only topped when later that year I bought her a red wine making kit for Christmas and she doesn't drink red.........Can't understand why that relationship never worked out......

Thanks for all your comments guys, I was teetering on the brink of feeling guilty for missing her birthday lunch, but you've all restored my faith ha ha

They're still not talking to me though!

They don't know how lucky they are. Choosing Millwall out of spite is just too far, I hope they don't expect you to contribute to the wedding!

Before we were married nice and positive. She even had a season ticket for a year. 6 years later she moans when i disappear upstairs to listen to a game on the computer. I expect this trend to continue

this is the story in short.......when we went back to the valley due to me keep going to back to the valley events my mrs left me on the friday before the portsmouth game i didnt realise until sunday aftenoon ,she stayed at her mothers with the kids for a week,i took no notice had a wonderful week on it,including youth game which i think was on the monday if i remember correctly,great times

Haven't got my invite yet, she really has got the right hump with me, what makes it even worse his old man is Millwall as well. You don't know how much I want us to be above them at the end of the seaon!

I thought the top table would look nice in red and white :-)

It will do.....when you bring your own tablecloths ;-)

West Brom at home 2008 we drew 1-1, was suppose to be at a family get together with my Mrs.
Scunthorpe away 2012, booked up train tickets after agreeing to a come dine with me type evening with the Mrs and her family, major agg that one caused, still got a deserved point.

I did the reverse and decided not to go to Wembley for the Full Members Cup final as we had a family party arranged for the birthday of one of my daughters.

Sometimes things are meant to be I think because we lost a beloved family member who was present not too long after that.

Went to the battle of Stamford Bridge in 1988 instead of going to my Niece's wedding. My Sister was less than impressed. Might have been less traumatic if I hadn't taken my nephew along to the game.

20th Wedding Anniversary or Palace away?

No contest. As always, I made it up later.

Last season saturday home game where I think we won the title - penultimate home game either way.

Woke up at the bottom of a flight of stairs at Cannon Street station at about 8.30PM, coat ripped, jeans and trainers covered in white paint, black eye and bridge of the nose cut open and bleeding. It turned out later I had also torn tendons in my shoulder and elbow and so underwent much physio.

No recollection of events leading up to this.

I got a taxi home and couldn't find my keys so she had to open the door to me - how we laughed and have done ever since.

I don't go to many games these days.

Remember sitting in the East years ago when across the tannoy came:

"message for Mr Bannister. Your wife has just given birth to a baby girl"

Always wonder if she ever let him come back after that.

He didn't want to , it wasn't his. She'd been shagging the neighbour every Saturday from 3pm.
