Well I wouldn't visit the football forum often - I was only going to comment on a thread about the Bradford Fire.

That's one of the main reasons I ended up here. Couldn't be bothered with those Go Ahead Eagles supporting shower anyway!

No, Jofspring was drawing a possible parallel that would be roundly considered bizarre in the extreme. I was seconding that.

Wasn't Pete St. John a Dubliner? Besides, it's still an Irish and not a Liverpudlian folk song. And isn't 'You'll Never Walk Alone' the Liverpool anthem anyway? Did Liverpool fans always sing a variation of the wording of the former or is it a relatively recent reincarnation they probably reworded after hearing Celtic fans singing it?

Some helpful advice for the barstoolers (and this really isn't a United wind-up):

Reminds me of this travesty: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/4...ng-an-epl-team

This being a particular highlight:

Arsenal

...

Buyer Beware : Big time bandwagon and a lot of "pseudo" fans.

About the only defence of O'Gara is that he's sponsored by adidas, don't know about the Gah anti foreign game muppets.

btw whilst we're talking barstoolers, since when was the "Soccer" forum on boards require additional rights to post? Paranoid gimps.

Typical bogstoolers.

Must need it, probably had a bad Cheltenham like a lot of us!

That prxxx waving his tricolour as the teams come out at white hart lane (with the cringo spurs crest in the white section) is possibly the most annoying of the lot of them. He must be based in London as he's there anytime I am interested enough to go past 2 games on either motd or rte's show and if spurs are featured.

What must the locals think of us ?

Sportingly challenged probably

Was in the pub with herself and her friend tonight and on in the background was sky sports. Now it turns out there's apparently this programme called "Premier League World". Never heard nor saw it before.
Tonight's episode profiled some poxy French Arsenal fans. Now, admittedly I couldn't hear a lot of what they were saying but I didn't need to. At one stage they were filming the Arsenal fans in their local watching Arsenal v Man U. At one stage the camera panned around the bar to some United fan leaving in disgust. He was followed by a friend who was wearing a jacket.
The friend turned to the Arsenal fans and started taunting them, zipped down his jacket, and started kissing the badge of his Chelsea shirt.

I felt sick. Sometimes I feel like some sort of delusional pr1ck who's trying to tell people about ways for them locally for them to be involved in LOI. But then I see these teuwls in France and I realise that unfortunately we just have to accept that we have to deal with these cnuts indefinitely.
And I'll be okay with that once you don't start giving out yards to me that my team are sh1t or that the levels of skill aren't like the "Prem"... I DON'T CARE, they're my team! And I will rise and fall with them. You'll rise and fall with whatever Sky decide to show you.

You got to LOL over them 2 guys on that Go Ahead Eagles page on Boards.
I reckon the Go ahed Eagles guy is geniune enough but the other guy-Picarooney- should be hunted down and brought naked to a Mervue game. Let eagles pick off him.

It's a 2000's invention.

I managed to mention this last night to the 2 girls and even they couldn't understand it. There's hope for is yet lads.
