Tonight's football thread

[IainR]

I know what you're saying
I've got a mate who's a Stockport County fan, and I've considered trying going with him to try out what you suggest
but there's the actual quality of the football to consider (no offence)
I just don't think there's a place for me in the modern football landscape
I've considered watching other sports - rugby union, ice hockey...
one thing I might do is take out a subscription to an American sports channel, cos I really like baseball and gridiron... not live though...

Our family have season tickets for Man U but also watch Brechin when up there.. Brechin City are good fun.. good pies.. but the standard is dross.. its probably conference, in fact lower I'd say. its a good laugh in a funny, gallows humour way.. but it just cannot compare with watching quality football as you say.

What amazes me is lower league just isn't that cheap.

I watch NFL.. but baseball is good for eating food and drinking beer.. basketball is good as its very fast moving.

Has he been sacked then? have they got someone lined up!? Like you say...incredible!!

I think there comes a point, even for Stoke, where mid table in the premier league isn't enough to weigh against the dreary shite served up by the team every week. Concede possession for 80 minutes and hope to pick up bits and pieces at the set pieces does get a bit boring. It is supposed to be entertainment after all.:thunbdown:

More about launching the UAE/Etihad 'brand' in the USA as much as anything Richard.

Watching the Champions League final. All German affair. There is a Ford advert on the hoardings which says 'Go Further'. Just as well they spelled that right!
