What about Zola and Vialli?

You can keep Ranieri

So you didn't sing:

"We don't want Eriksson, We don't want Eriksson, We've got Ranieri,We've got Ranieri"

I thought Pisti added the "My Dad supported..." to the rules.

Cos I'm not fucking supporting Oxford United. Or Oxford City that matter, not sure which is closer to where I was born, but I assume we draw the line at non-league.

Dad's team?
Place of Birth?

I think that Primary School should also be in teh rulz

That's crap. I reckon most people support the club that their Dad supports. If one's father is a scouser and moves away, his son would grow up watching his dad's team. Under your rules, graham, will your son not be allowed to be an everton supprter?

the whopperhead makes them up as he goes along

Bill moves out: house prices rocket.

Same happened when Tony Blair moved out of Islington.

Ha!

Which road did you grow up in then Bill?

Lauradale Road. It's in the catchment area of a highly-rated primary school, which is apparently the reason why the prices are so ridiculous. The houses really aren't all that big or well-appointed, certainly not compared to Grand Avenue, which is actually in N10. £1 million! Jesus.

Hmm, Court Farm Place is 0.9 miles from the hospital, so is the old Manor Ground, but by the crow flies Oxford United is closer. That's something at least.

Back to the football, looking forward to Argentina vs Portugal tonight, should be a good game.

This made me think a bit earlier this morning, will Wilshire be the next over hyped media darling of English football?

Meanwhile in Islington - Arsenal fans were jubilant when this news came out.

Both stories are bollocks, aren't they? Wilshere has played half a season, he looks good, but he's only 19 - wasn't Bentley feted in exactly the same way? Bendtner wants first team football, and is prepared to move to get it - good, it shows that he's hungry - who wants someone that's prepared to wait their turn meekly? I don't know if Bendtner is as good as he thinks he is, but I think he's better than some people think he is.

So where are we then? No birth-certificate-from-within-1-mile-of-your-chosen-team's-ground, no talk?

God, this place is even better than the league thread on the polo forum.

Sorry Bill.

It's TEH RULEZ, it's not us.

You're a glory hunting plastic.

along with everyone else here except Pisti

Yep. It's the age old trap of comparing players from a different era. Why not let them grow and become good footballers. It's the same story all the bloody time.

Let's agree on the fact that Bendtner is not as good as he thinks he is, if he was he would have been in the starting line up by now and Wenger wouldn't have brought in Chamakh.

Sorry Bill.

Ok, I fess up. I only decided to support Arsenal after watching the 1979 cup final. Huh, shock horror glory-hunting almost-mockney, eh?

FWIW, the first game I ever went to was a match in London featuring Millwall sometime in the 70s, to which I was taken by our baby-sitter. I tried to work out which game it was because all I can remember about it was that it was on The Big Match the following day, but I couldn't figure it out at all.

Brian Moore. Most of you probably think he's a former England rugby player, I bet.

Out of interest, does the Stadium ride feature both Leyton football grounds? I have always fancied going to see the other L.F.C. What must their fans think of Orient?

It's no good trying to add authenticity.

Jesus, Richard LittleJohn branded him a hero according to wiki. He must be a major cunt. Although if it was him responsible for removing the speed humps in Barnet, he can't be that bad :)

I remember being told by one of Jenny Jones staff at the GLA that the Telegraph had proposed that a statue of BC should be placed on the 4th plinth in Traf Sq, which sort of sums him up.

Kopites of the cockney kind are hilarious. Sit there in their Sky TV towers given it 'history this and 5 European cups that'

Why weren't you at the fuckin game you muggy cockney cunts??

What 'support' do you actually provide for Kinky Kenny's Red Army? Puffing chests in a bike forum??!

Let me know if any of you tits wanna borrow £35 for a match ticket

Why would anyone want to go to a football match?

90% of the attendees are bastard thugs [citation needed]

So you are a Finchley Boy too then?

So you are a Finchley Boy too then?

Not really. Fortis Green. Went to saturday morning cinema at the Muswell Hill Odeon & the Phoenix, East Finchley. Old enough to have gone often to Finchley Lido, which was absolutely fantastic.

If the Kinks were Muswell Hillbillies, then so was I.

So you didn't sing:

"We don't want Eriksson, We don't want Eriksson, We've got Ranieri,We've got Ranieri"

Of course because we didn't want Eriksson and I was and am always loyal to the current team and management. We sing to encourage not demotivate. Never boo a Blue!

Finchley Lido was an integral part of my youth, I was there every Saturday in the summer months. It was a travesty when they bulldozed it. The Pheonix has just reopened after a £1million refurb. Went the other week and it is still great

If the Kinks were Muswell Hillbillies, then so was I.

Were you around at the same time at the Kinks?

Like Kevin Keegan did.
Like Ian Rush did.

Liverpool have long been a feeder club for the big boys, it's just the last few years they haven't had anyone worth selling.

yawwwn.
Rush came back. he know where his bread was buttered (he also learned the Itallians ate italian food).

Who have you had of note i.e. before you became?:

Rush came back cos he was shite at Juve and Libpool were the only melts that wanted to 'save him'

West Ham get Olympic Stadium.

Good.

I still play for the muswell hillbillys - FACT

SHame that about the hammers. going to be empty and would have been nice to see the scum move to stratford.
