Started my New Year Resolution. And already broke it. Just before I went to bed at 4am I said I'm going to not drink in January. I sit here in The Winny with a pint and think fuck it.
Right. Went The Royal on Tuesday and the news wasn't good. I've got bowel cancer and it is serious enough to be getting operated on next Tuesday. Fingers crossed all goes well. Downside, already missed a Purps game and likely to miss a few more. Said it now...
For anybody that is interested I have just had my first poo since Sunday. Not a big event to some people but to me it shows that the bowel joined correctly. Cheers for all the good wishes from you all lately. See you soon.
Many thanks for everyones kind words and messages today. Gave me a good lift when I needed it. I'll be fine, because so many of you have said I will. Purps on Saturday, see some of you then. Again, thanks a lot.
👏 👏 Congrats to Purple Messi
@jackhazlehurst9
who made his 💯th League appearance today. Jack got his normal kicking/hacking from the opposition but as always he just gets on with annoying their back four. Well played today Jack.
I love 💜 Saturday's like this. Brilliant Purps win away at higher opposition then in the boozer to see the 2nd half of a Liverpool victory.
@CityofLpoolFC
was far more enjoyable for me though... Up The Purps.
Cracking little travelling crew today, brilliant.
Had a great night at Leaf for Violette,
@ToffeeYaffle
@badwool9
and the other sets were marvellous. Will come to these nights again in the future.. Cheers
Wish I had videod the players at the end of that match. They came and applauded us which was great then Scoey led the players in shaking our hands. Fucking brilliant. Like Purps days of old.

Oh, CoLFC, Ooooh CoLFC...
Yesterday's bumper crowd of 974 is the 3rd highest to watch
@CityofLpoolFC
at Vesty Road. It is the highest league gate beating the 747 Counties play-off v Whitchurch Alport and 723 v Charnock Richard in the NWCFL 1st Division.
The stuff you find when moving house. This is the match that started it for me.

on a Friday night. Hooked.

Extra brownie points to any brain box who can name the players in that squad photo. Tough one that.
I have never felt so down after a
@CityofLpoolFC
match. Bootle cheering and singing as they went top. Fair enough, it was their 20th win on the trot and with just a home game left it was surely theirs for the taking.
League Champions My Arse.. they drew 1-1 with Vics.
Great customer service. Very first buy and the shirt was too small. Replacement arrived a few days ago, well better fit. Will buy again from
@secretshirtco
What a boozer
@The_Bridewell
is. Dominic at the helm and staff everywhere. Attention to detail and memory from all staff is second to none. Looks and sounds chaotic but nobody at all waits for a second for a drink. NUMERO UNO for me.
Coming up on Saturday is the 250th Competetive First Team match for The Purps

I walked the long way out that ground yesterday and when I went past the changies the noise out of the Purps was brilliant. This team is getting there. They are loving it as much as we are. The reaction today from Schoey running down our line to Ello at the end. BRILLIANT.
00:35... Just got home from a postponed game.

Thanks to The Trickies of
@NorthwichVicsFC
for playing their part in the final piece of this epic
@nwcfl
drama. Two teams, you along with
@IrlamFC
played with 100% effort. What a credit to this league you both are. Champs.
@CityofLpoolFC
Long day today. Walked to watch
@MossleyHill_FC
play Newton in a tough 3-3 draw. Enjoyed the game. Walked home. A bit longer distance going home but slightly quicker. Incentive of a stew and some beer I suppose... Aching a bit now though....
Fucking gassed. How good has this day been. From fucked up Monday to today. As I said we still had 90 minutes to play. Probably the best 90 minutes I have watched for years...

Should have posted this yesterday.
@jackhazlehurst9
became our Number One Purp for League Appearances. With 121 under his belt he now steps away from
@95Peterson
with 120. Plenty more to come this season. Well Done Jack. 👏 👏
