Another Gills post...

[phwoffy04]

I apologise for this being a bit early but SOMEONE was being an excited child and demanded I post it now.
So erm, I guess you guys will be getting fed up with me - and them. But, as you know GILLS ARE GOING TO WEMBLEY.
And with them myself,

elementarystars and
superelle07 are going to Wembley!


Gills were allocated 38000 tickets, but that doesn't mean the support has to end with the people in the ground. Hint hint. If any of you happen to be near a TV or a computer at 3.00 on Saturday 23rd May... well, you know...
I am acting upon the advice of my dear friend Lukas Podolski and providing you with a list of reasons that Gillingham FC are awesome, and thus you should really want them to win on Saturday please thank you :p

.
1. The players are completely dedicated.

Meet Adam Miller and Barry Fuller.


Adam has been playing for months in need of a double hernia operation. He's also pushed himself to be fit for the final after suffering an ankle injury that kept him out of the semis. Adam is amazing.


And Barry? Barry contracted pneumonia in December (just weeks after his wife gave birth to their daughter) and spent a couple of weeks in hospital on oxygen, struggling even to speak. 5 weeks after his diagnosis he returned to captain the side and played 90 minutes. Barry is amazing.

2. We gave the world Steve Bruce.


No, really, we did. After a short spell in our youth team, Bruce made 205 first team appearances for Gills, and scored 29 goals before moving to Norwich in 1984.
Oh yes, it was all us.
We've also given the footballing world the wonders of...
Micky Adams
Tony Cascarino
Nyron Nosworthy *shifty eyes*
Mamady Sidibe *ahem*
Marlon King - no, no you're right. That's not something I should be telling you at all. Scratch that.
AND...

Alex Ferguson (Oh fine. Not THE Alex Ferguson...)
Peter Stringfellow (No, no, not THE Peter Stringfellow either...)

3. We have pretties.

To be honest, I find it hard to consider any Gills players as attractive but I am working under the advice of elementarystarsand dirgni19...

Simon King


Curtis Weston


John Nutter


Garry Richards (Lauren is weird.)


and... erm... Mark Stimson.
(YES. Yes Lauren does fancy our manager. This is the weirdest thing I have ever heard in my life.)



Speaking of pretties... The bbs aren't lacking on the cute front.



4. They're movie stars.

Gills were in Green Street. In fact, Gills were playing West Ham in Green Street and I was at the game. Does this mean I can claim to be in Green Street? Probably not...
Unfortunately, Gills aren't very well known and thus were disguised as Birmingham but trust me, it's Gills. In fact you see Hessenthaler and Sidibe and Southall and...

Gills are also going to be the stars of a movie that is to be released at the end of this year entitled "The Shouting Men". Basically, it's a comedy about some football fans. I doubt it will ever become a blockbuster but it's about GILLS.

AND... we were on Dream Team once. IN FACT - we beat Harchester United 2-0. *sniffle* One of the proudest moments of my life.

5. Our away supporters are pretty awesome.

This one was also told to me by elementarystars(she should be writing this, no?) but I have to agree. I don't get to as many away games as I'd like, because I am poor *sniffle*, but I know numerous people who spend their weekends traveling all over the country to provide Gills with unbelievable away support.
And trust me - the last thing you want to do after you've been all the way to Grimsby, to be trounced 3-0, is contemplate a trip to Rochdale. But we do :p

6. We are pikeys.

Now, this may be something that would make you edge away from us but FEAR NOT! Being a pikey is not something to shun, but something to embrace and feel proud of. No, we may not have all of our teeth. Yes, we may speak a language that nobody understands. But we are PROUD of this.
In fact, we sing about it...
We can't read, we can't write
We wear gold and Nikes
We all come from Gillingham
And we are fucking pikeys.

People are upset at the prospect of playing Gills and having to travel down to Gillingham. Apparently it's not a nice place to come to. So, even if you don't want to support them... YOU WANT THEM TO WIN JUST TO UPSET EVERYONE! *nods*

- Here I add that not everyone in Gillingham is a pikey, and not everyone associated with the club. However, some of us are not afraid of what we truly are.

7. We're very nice to away supporters.

We give them unstable, uncovered seating and make them walk through Gillingham high street.
But if it rains...
WE GIVE THEM PLASTIC RAIN MACS.
God, no wonder nobody likes us.

8. England's Number One plays for Gillingham.

I'm not even going to tell you how amazing he is because you will cry tears of joy at the mere mention of his name.
I can see them brimming in your eyes.
David James and Ben Foster are out of the England games?!
Have no fear, Simon Royce is here.



9. WE'RE JUST AWESOME, OK?



10. The guardian says...


 
And obviously the only one are Gills...

You know you really should just give them a tag ;) *ahem*

EDIT: Thank you for the tag! I am in a state of stupid happy now... Gills have a tag! YAY! *loves the world mods*
