David Merritt BEST MOMENTS 1. Leicester Forest Services en route to Leeds - Jonno the Bee admitting to having a sex change and Stedders bringing a ready supply of baby wipes to look after the squad! 2. Winning the Team of the Year award. 3. Drinking pints of shandy made with Smirnoff Ice 4. The woman trying to suck in her tummy outside All Bar One in the centre on the Sat night... little realising she was standing in front of about 10 Bees in the window of the bar. 5. Beating AEK Athens - great atmosphere! WORST MOMENTS 1. Getting up on the first day! 2. Getting up the second day! 3. Conceding each of the goals in the Portsmouth game. 4. Conceding the last minute winner against Leeds. 5. The AEK guy getting really stressed and getting a card for his trouble - not what Worldnet is all about. Sammy Bee Top 5 moments (in no particular order) 1) Minky's brace against AEK Athens 2)Gumbo 3) Build a Bonfire!!! 4)Winning Team of the Year 5)Trandy - " you know you've got the quality" Worst 5 moments 1) Losing 3 games to last minutes goals 2) Hurting my toe :( 3) Early starts 4) Food in the canteen 5) Warm water coming out of the cold tap in rooms Minkys fave moments Beating AEK Leeds Kebab Van Owners FC 3-0 and getting jumped on after the game by nine million hey jude players and surviving ! Sitting with gareth in All Bar One in Leeds watching the female population pass by in various "interesting garments" in other words 2 old gits having a good old harmless letch. Muk asking trandy if they were his room keys lying on the ground and then throwing them an immense distance when he found out that they were Beating west Brom ! Being slightly worse for wear on sunday morning trying to get breakfast with a Brittany ferries boarding pass instead of my green breakfast ticket.With those ex-school dinner ladies in charge not a bloody hope !!!! Seeing steedders face when we won team of the year, did i see a slight tear to the corner of one eye, if i did fair play to the man, a brilliant organiser Trandy 1. Me pulling on Friday 2. Me pulling on Saturday 3. Me making money to get kissed by women! 4. "Eeer we go" - quote from some lovely northern bird who saw a bloke 5. Scratchys shirt 6. Kicking the Leeds player in the bollocks with the ball Worst 1. Ridiculously early starts 2. Muk being a cunt 3. Me getting turned down by some dirty slag :-( 4. Conceding a last min goal to every team we played (or it seemed like it). 5. The referees. James Harris (Gumbo) Best 5: 1. Attitude of everyone there, hey jude as well as others. Special mention must go to the Lens, Coventry and Norwich sides for trying hard to get on with everyone, and dis-credited will go to the bald AEK Athens bloke and Gaz for getting booked in the first minute(FUCK OFF REF)! 2. Stedders for being far to generous in his report and saying that I actually touched the ball twice, but maybe was a little harsh on my room(Radiation suit yes, but surely environmental health is taking it too far!!!!!!) 3. The pool table in the common room! Not only was it free but also I actually won a game on it(which naturally was a game of pure talent, and not that the slope on it helped 3 red balls in off my break!) 4. The sing-song in the bar when about 8 of the Brentford mentals(Me, Gaz, Jonno, Jon G, Sammy, Josh, Joe and Rob)took on 20 Lens,15 Coventry and 10 Ayr fans and got ourselfs a well earned round of applause for the David W£bbs a Wanker song!!! 5. The Bonfire on one of the fields! Went for an hours kip at 11 when all the lads had gone to the offie, woke up and went for a wander to find them! Eventually found them raiding a skip for cardboard boxes and setting fire to them! Once we had finished loading the boxes we sat around the fire getting more and more pissed! Worst 5: 1. My first touch of the tournament. I think the phrase Youve got the touch of a rapist was a little to generous on this occasion as I passed the ball straight to Crewes right winger! 2. My room! The least said the better on this occasion as I am expecting a call from Leeds Uni soon asking £500 for the clean up operation. Special thanks to Joe for getting pizza all over my bed sheets, to everyone for complying with the no smoking rules(ha!)and to Josh for nearly burning my face off. 3. Not getting the Brummies in the 2nd round of the knockout stages, I was saving myself for that one Stedders, honest! Mind you, I bet Gaz is pleased he didnt have to re-new acquaintances with a few of them! 4. Being called nothing but Gumbo for 4 Days! 5. Well thats it, cant think of any more. Thanks all for a cracking weekend, special mention for Stedders for doing it all, and creation nightclub for not kicking me out for appalling dancing!

The AEK Athens players shouting at me when Gaz was blatantly on side, bloody stupid! I got so much hassle! I've never had that much hassle when I've actually reffed a game! But credit to the ref who stuck up for me, he was a quality ref unlike '3 teeth'. 4. Robs sick all over the bathroom, it stunk the whole corridor out! 5.
