Well, here they are.... rachel-carson.fotopic.net/Going to take this opportunity to say thank you to my fellow tour-mates - had an awesome time. Special thanks to Aleix for guiding us around his home city (hope you didn't get into too much trouble today!) and to Ant for organising the whole thing. Really cannot remember the last time I laughed so much. Highlights for me included: *Cheering on our boys in Europe! * The banter with the Bilbao team on Saturday night * Meeting Senor Garcia (faginy kissing him and Aleix having to apologise : * Risking my life by attempting to scale the gap from the seats to the Olympic Stadium pitch in stiletto heels * Meeting the guy from Chester who proudly told us how he'd hit Ryan Lowe * Being called a dirty w h o r e by a prostitute * Making daybreak on Monday morning with Carter, Afro and faginy *Afro's mad dancing * The comedy sunburn (special mentions to Gerry and Gal) * Carter in THAT sarong - Afro and I have never laughed so much * Carter in general. Especially when faginy dropped the case on Carter's toe, the toe that Afro had already broken Enjoy the pics!

Quality weekend!!! I cant believe we were actually sensible on friday night. Good day of footy and an excellent night out aswell. The Bilbao lads were superb. I think "Shrewsbury" was the only English word they could actually say. An excellent bunch of lads. Unlucky not to win the Fair Play Award because of a certain ASFC player getting himself sent off after 5mins into his debut for us. Nevermind!! lol The Pitch invasion was mad at the Espanyol game. Hopefully someone got some pics of it!! Cheers everyone!!

Cheers one and all for a top holiday, this one was merely the 'sortie' for next year when hopefully we can get an abundance of B&A'ers going!
Top pics Rach, looking forward to next year already.

:)Just had a look at the pictures - top class rach! Although I await a copy of Afros Video Camera stuff - after the carnage at the airport!!!! Just a few more memories from the weekend!!! My Review would be as follows Afro - Highlight - The Dancing man came of age with a series of mental dance inspired set piece comical moments - culminating in Afros invention of a new type of "square" Dance and inclusion as Smart Party JN!!! Lowlight - Being denied by the girls on the plane back 3 rows behind who refused his tomato juice gift and his manic scratch card playing!!! Gaffer Highlight - Being called out of the throng to dance with a pretty young girl only to have us almost chucked out of the place as there was "no dancing!!!!" Lowlight - Senior Computer expert Mr Gerry Leahy - wrecking the BIOS of the Hotel computer rendering it totally broken after trying to hack in for free!!! Gallon Highlight - The Laughing Man, kept going strong through the weekend and his "Gerry cross the Mersey" joke will live long in the Memory" Lowlight - Fading away early on the First night - even if he came back strong!! And celebrating with the wrong team after the last pen shootout!! Which could have been an international incident! Carter Highlight - So many but i for one enjoyed the tour on the bus home that he put on - nice to see such sights as El Ditherington and them flats that that Guadi bloke lived in (that were council flats!!!) Lowlight - the flight home - shameful antics lead to mini cheddars in the hair!!!!!! - the broken man did briefly recover! Oh sleeping in a park was pretty shameful!! faginy Highlight - He’s got a new catchphrase and its sooooo annoying!!! Holllaaaa!!! his antics at the airport where the football+ jevesy = carnage was something to be hold!!! Lowlight - Another who was crying out for sleep and eventually gave up on the flight!!! While others will still up to all sorts!! Rach – Highlight – the Tour photographer worked wonders making us look good on film!!! Even Carter! The font of good advice for the weekend!! And matched the boys in the sleep and drinking stakes!!! Good job!!! Lowlight – Being faginy Girlfriend springs to mind when you see what hes up to some times!!! Ant (AT) Highlight - the 45 yard chip was special from the boy Thomas!!! But i would go for AT dubbing the ref Super Mario Lowlight - Ant could not keep his eyes open and had we been there longer would have been asleep on the Olympic stadium pitch - Sat night he finally gave up and needed 40 winks!!! Giles Highlight - A clean sheet from the worlds shorts keepers was impressive in the last game - but his musing on a hotel balcony were wondrous to here!!! Lowlight - Smashing the only trophy we got from the tourney on the floor in the air port - and what a lovely ashtray it was!! (carter lost the other one!!) Gaz Highlight - Getting on the pitch for his ASFC Debut in the first game. Rocking out all 4 nights!! Air guitar a specialty!! Lowlight - Getting sent off 3 minutes into said debut!! Phill Highlight - Captining the team and winning at least one toss!!!- getting there early doors on the Thursday and dominating the nightclub as part of the advanced Party!!!! Lowlight - The Black Eye!!! Looked nasty – and going touring round the city on Sunday morning – I ask you!!! Makes the rest of us look light uncultured yobs!! me Highlight - Causing come carnage in the first game, scoring (no matter how!!) and hammering some kids at beach footy!!! Lowlight - Spilling every alcoholic beverage that came near me the whole weekend! Alexi Highlight - great goal, great host, Great Dad.... The boy cant wait for next year!!!! Lowlight - the constant mocking from Jaz as to raise doubt weather Alexi is actually from barca when we got clightly lost ir he did not know something PC and Lucy Highlight – PC was a revelation in Midfield and Lucys camera work of the weekend at the games was good and the only footage we have of the games!!! Lucy loved meeting Luic Garcia me thinks!!!! Lowlight – Being late (and half forgotten about) on the way to the presentation evening and then having to make there won way there!!!!! Sorry Guys!! DaveO – Highlight - Quality Goal kicks got the town going in the first 2 games!!! Rocking out in a few more “local” establishments!!! Lowlight – Going Early on the last day and missing out on the carnage and the Nu Camp I would guess!! Lastly how close have you ever been to a fire working going off in your ear – all the above can say – very bloody close!!!

Excellent Pictures Rachel and I love that review Hurricane.
What a legendry weekend, meeting Luis Garcia has to be the major highlight but there were so many others, making friends with the Bilbao boys another one.
My own favourite moment was putting the Bilbao scarf around Carter's neck as were sat 15 yards away from the Espanyol ultras. The stares and then the firecrackers going off behind us - Quality!
Special thanks to Ant for organising and Aleix and Carter for their tour guide efforts.
Best weekend EVER!

I never ralised that so much could happen in a weekend! My personal highlights are as follows. 1. Although our flight was delayed 3 hours, the fun at Coventry airport was endless. 2. Sending Bilbaos goalkeeper flying after a mid - air challenge. 3. Getting my comedy career started with a routine on the bus home 4. Saturday night. Luis Garcia, and ruling every podium we came close to 5. Being rejected by females at the neu camp anbd on the plane home, one day I will find somebody that loves me. 6. Picture with European cup, (only problem was I had to do it with Pricey) 7. Playing football anywhere we could, in the airport was by far the best. 8. Sunday night. Reaching day break and then waddling in for breakfast. 9. Taking my dancing skills continental. 10. Carter - LEGEND.
