Hi,

This is off topic, but only applies to the UK, so i put it here:

What football team do you support, and why?

For me it is Chelsea, because they are my local team (its true, and ofcourse because they are 11 points clear of the table, and in the quater-final of the chanpions league....) :-)

cheers

Philip

Spurs - no probs, no doubt, we're back in the top half add staying there!

While not exactly a supporter, of all the local teams the first one I check the results of is Sunderland, purely because they are the closest. Speaking of Sunderland, I've just come across this which I hope you find amusing.

The Geordie Thermometer

50 Degrees. Southerners turn on their heating. Geordies plant their gardens.

40 Degrees. Southerners shiver uncontrollably. Geordies Sunbathe.

30 Degrees. Southern cars will not start. Geordies drive with their windows down

20 Degrees. Southerners wear coats, gloves, and wool hats. Geordies throw a t-shirt on (Girls start wearing mini-skirts)

10 Degrees. Southerners begin to Evacuate. Geordies go swimming in the North Sea.

Zero degrees. Southern landlords turn up the heat. Geordies have the last barbecue before it gets cold.

Minus 10 Degrees. Southerners cease to exist. Geordies throw on a lightweight jacket.

Minus 80 Degrees. Polar bears wonder if it’s worth it. Geordie Boy scouts start wearing long trousers.

Minus 100 Degrees. Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Geordies put on their long johns.

Minus 173 Degrees. Alcohol freezes. Geordies become frustrated because the pubs are shut.

Minus 297 Degrees. Microbiological life starts to disappear. The cows on Newcastle town moor complain of vets with cold hands.

Minus 460 Degrees. All atomic motion stops. Geordies start to stamp their feet and blow on their hands.


Minus 500 Degrees. Hell freezes over……….Sunderland qualify for Europe.

:-) :-) :-)

Newcastle are 11:

We used to have a Newcastle fan at work, until he went into the stores - he got scanned, labelled and stuck on a shelf !!

Hi Philip

Anyone but Chelsea! Sorry! :-)

I couldn't care less about football now, but when I was a kid in London, the one team we all loathed was the Boys in Blue!

In retospect, I don't know what the problem was - we could cope with Arsenal, West Ham, Palace, QPR, Charlton and all the rest... but Chelsea.... Nooo! They were just the team we loved to hate. Even at that tender age we got some things right! :-)

Ah well...

Whats This football game then, 22 blokes running around a big grass field can`t see the sport in that, now give me MotoGP or Super Bikes now thats worth paying for.


I shall now errect a cross in the back garden for the footie fanatic`s to nail me to :-) :-) :-)

Dave

I wil be honest here I would rather watch paint dry, I used to watch west hams games years ago when Bobby Moore was playing but Ive lost all interest in the game

Hereditary Arsenal fan.

My father used to watch them in the 30s, since he was from that neck of the woods.

I'm a Man Utd fan. Prefer to support an 'english' team, unlike Chelsea :-)

Though in the past few years i've gone off footie. I have always liked rugby which is the family sport. Its, as my dad always told me, a mans game :-)

Ross

Yeah, rugbys good, but i do not do it at school
In rugby you can pull your opponent over, when in football the players start crying if someone touches them! :-)

cheers

Philip

Lost intrest in football sometime ago, but will from time to time look up the results for AS Bari (Italian) the team nearest to my dads home town.

Ciao

I have a season ticket for Queens Park Rangers.
You cannot beat Saturday afternoon down at Loftus Road.
Easy to see why alot of you have gone off footie when you support west ham or the arsenal...

Sam

NICE!

Newcastle United
