A Cat Called Chicken & The Relegation Battle

[Spaceman Spiff]

Me too, Al. I hate seeing a grown man cry, especially when it's me.

Al? That isn’t the same Al that used to be friends with Bob Evans years ago is it?

 

[Rob Noxious]

Sorry to hear that Rob, always enjoyed our exchanges. Give Chicken a hug from madam and me. If this is to be the swan song lets go for the spectacular. COYBB

Thanks, irenbird. Let's hope there's a little surprise in store tomorrow. Of a good kind, of course.

 

[Rob Noxious]

I'm sorry to hear that. It's awful to lose a pet but in the end letting them go without pain is the final kindness we can do for them. Please take a hug from me if you feel like you need it.

I hope Chicken has a good comfy bit of being pampered.

And come on you Blues - win this one for the kitty! Give him a good send off!

Thanks, Cultist. Your hug was very much appreciated.

Very much agree with you about the need to let them go without any more pain.

Tomorrow beckons and I will be with Chick on the sofa at the crucial 4.25pm time when he worked his magic last season.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I think that he was disaffected with how things were going, Spaceman. I fear that he felt I'd usurped him in the lucky talisman role what with my 100% record this season. Anyway, this thread isn't about me, of course, but I'd be delighted if he could still play a part in a more positive ending to the season than what we were fearing just over 2 weeks ago.

He will ‘Rob’, you mark my words. If he does pass then he’ll be moving into the Zone Hall Of Fame forum, I’ll move him there myself. Chicken has much to be thankful for and much to be proud of in his role as Talisman for the team we all love.

 

[Rob Noxious]

Sorry to hear that, Rob. :sad:

Chicken became a folk hero last season and no match was complete without an update from yourgoodself on Chicken's views on the upcoming match and his uncanny knack of cheering us on to victory from the sofa.

As others have said, nothing but a win tomorrow will be what's required, in honour.

Best wishes,

Andy

Thanks, Andy - we enjoyed those magic moments for a brief spell last season and here's hoping that there's another bit of gold up his ginger sleeve tomorrow. Hope you have a cracking day at the Hall tomorrow.

CPB&WA!

Sad news Rob. Whatever the result Saturday I hope his twilight time is comfortable and he's not in pain. Of course, it would please me greatly, and probably you and Chick, if we really stick it to those Northern Monkeys as well.

Thanks, RHB. I think we'd be like cats over the moon (rather than just the roof) if we could get a result like that tomorrow. Our pier is real though.

Hi Rob, so sorry to hear the news about dear Chicken, as others have said, I've really enjoyed Chick's take on things and hearing of his match day exploits. Please give him a big hug & cuddle from me.
Make sure he is sitting comfortably - in the place of Chick's choice, of course tomorrow afternoon, to listen to the Blues and here's hoping he can help us pull one more Chicken surprise out of the hat! xx COYB!! love to Chicken xx

 

[Rob Noxious]

Sorry to hear the sad news Rob. I know you've loved him and taken very good care of Chick. Not many cats are a member on facebook.

Thanks, Ronnie. I know you know more than most what a special fella he is for me. And thanks for drawing attention to the 'Chicken Is A Shrimper/Chicken Is A Shrimper' FB page > https://www.facebook.com/Chicken-is-a-ShrimperChicken-is-a-Shrimper-1813371965651773/

Al? That isn’t the same Al that used to be friends with Bob Evans years ago is it?

I only met Al once and I don't know Bob Evans so I can't advise further on this, Spaceman.

Hi Roxy - thanks for this. I think the ShrimperZone love is having a galvanising effect on the old trouper. He's been full of beans this morning. Mrs Nox brought him up to see me whilst I was laying in this morning - it's a Saturday thing - and he was giving it large, with his 'chirruping' and affectionate head butts. He's resting now though ... in readiness for the game. If there's a crucial goal for us in about the 68th minute, you know whose name is written all over it. xx

Yeah hah get in there Mr Turner.

Sorry got carried away when we scored and didn’t realise what post I was reading, though I’m Sure Chicken had something to do with it.

 

[Rob Noxious]

It's ok, he's back on the sofa. He just went out for a pee and they scored.

He's been on the sofa all game until a few minutes ago when they scored. He's back on it now, thankfully.

Chicken did us proud, thanks Rob. COYBB

 

[Benfleet A1]

The old boy done good.

 

[Barling Magna]

Well done Chicken. Thanks for your support over the years.

 

[fatgrandad]

Me too, Al. I hate seeing a grown man cry, especially when it's me.

Rob, having lost our cat of 20 years last week, I know how you are feeling. He had been with me from age 40 to age 60. I hope Chicken had a peaceful day today, aside from the 3 celebrations which I hope he was leading.

 

[AndyT]

Top stuff, Chicken! :thumbsup::cool:

 

[RHB]

Told you we'd stuff them Northern monkeys in your honour Chick.

 

[shrimper-james]

I think Chicken would have very much enjoyed that
