    Roiling football blather

    about three weeks ago i started hearing this, mostly off middle-aged rags round my way. one reckons (this sounds exactly like a conspiracy theory, but the way he told it was so earnest i thought i'd take him at face value!) that how Rooney had been carrying himself in recent games (bear in mind...

    alas no, stuck up here :( i know of a fair few of our London branch who have already shit out too, so i don't expect there'll be much of an away turn-out.. ...weather permitting naturally, i know sub-zero temps are expected everywhere in the next few and the snow is sweeping south. which gets...

    Fuck, it's cold.

    on a less structural scale British councils have been caught out a bit wrt the salt needed to help clear roads, having used a lot more than they would expect to in some areas already. we're just not used to it, is the simple (and i'm sure unsatisfactory) answer, a lot of people don't see the...

    sorry Dan i was being a bit facetious re tifosi stereotypes, as it looks like you accurately inferred :cool: i believe that there is a growing number of neo-fash among the Roma ranks (w the caveat that Lazio are the Roman club traditionally associated w rightwing politics among the fan-base...

    are you calling him a sour, one-eyed grudge holder?! for shame.. awesome. and intriguing re the second team. obviously we know who you support, but, current average gates alone, it's Derby, no? (clearly it's not just gates, i know i'm being mischievous!) i remember about 12 years ago now the...

    Roiling football blather

    my distaste for United is well-known and as mrfaucet rightly points out, it doesn't really matter, but judging from the interview in which Taggart made the 'insult' comment (see embed below) i think my initial guess was correct. after all, his being a contrarian (no matter which direction he's...

    Roiling football blather

    AFAIK SAF was saying that five minutes was too long and Leeds didn't deserve to be put through five unjustifiable minutes (i actually missed all but the closing stages of the game so couldn't comment), to be fair. i may have this back to front but the way i read the below quote, well, idk...

    quality! i saw Chievo at AC Milan last season, there were not many away fans there, but they were full value the ones that made the trip i must say. are Napoli fans still banned from all aways after that unfortunate business on the train a year or two ago?

    mist rolling in from the Trent is a classic the ways Spuds build up 'when the Spurs go marching in' at the Lane, first slow and almost sombre, then getting fast, is good, i must say non-league has a lot of very good, long, witty songs - probably to make up for the football :) <object...
