I've found the same, but then being an English footy fan I come a lot further down Ranger's List Of People to Hate than Celtic's, so I'd put it down to that rather than Rangers fans being any better.

Just seen a reporter make the mistake of reporting live from manchester city centre, hence a Rangers fan shoving his face in front of the camera, sticking middle fingers up and shouting "**** the manchester police! ****ing ****s! **** ****** ******!"

Which one is more likely to lead to the cutting of wrists? tough call.

Glanced at the title just now and read it as "Elmo or Smith" I still can't decide.

£100 for finishing top of my work league Plus £10 for being manager of the month to add to my one other MOTM award. Missed out on the double by losing the cup final by 2 points or it would have been £150. Still, £120 return on a £10 entry fee is pretty good.

There's a bit of a gap between Liverpool and the rest of the top four and an enormous gap between Liverpool and the rest of the league.

Brought in Clichy last week for when Arsenal were playing then and Friedle for the doubtful James this week, had to happen.

Love it in away pubs where you can get songs going that never get an airing and old classics going, things like "They call us Newcastle United" and "Frank Clark knows my father"

Here's one. http://oatcakefanzine.proboards27.com/index.cgi http://oatcakefanzine.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=Potters&action=display&thread=23291 They're just as happy as we are

"The Stamford Bridge scuffle" sounds like some 1920s dance craze.

Oh fucking hell, I hate that one as well. And the monotone ad nauseum "liiiiiivveeerrrrpooooolll, liiiiivveerrrrrpooool" or "eeevveeerrton, eeeeveeertonnn" which I guess we could have adopted as well.

Maybe he'll let the KGB look after the Chelsea fans and have the Man U fans dealt with by the more hard-line Gung-ho Wasp. KGB... Cagey Bee.... nevermind...

Would love Chelsea to win the double (ignoring the fact they're playing us). Message boards, the media and pubs are full of unbearable arrogant Man U and Liverpool fans (Heard a conversation at half time in the toilet last night between cockney and geordie "scousers"). Dunno where the Chelsea fans are, maybe they actually live in London and can't use computers or something. Probably out stabbing people. But anyway, the media have already lost out on their "dream final" of Man U and Liverpool, I'd love it if they end up with no wankfest to have at the end of the season.

Not really our fans, but I hate "You've never won fuck all" If we could make a chant pointing out the use of a double negative in their chant, indicating that "never winning fuck all" means we've won something, I'd be forever grateful and would sing it 'til my lungs hurt. "That's a fucking doub-le negative" to the tune of "You're so shit it's unbelievable"

I'm glad we don't have one to the tune of "He plays on the leeeeffffftttttt, he plays on the riiiiighhhhhhttttt"

Fucking arsenal, fucking up my fantasy team and my bets in one fell fucking swoop, useless bastards. My highest scoring outfield player this week is Bentley with 3.

Starting to think it's for the best, when we're linked with people, interested in people, talking to people etc it never seems to come off. I'm hoping our signings will be more of the "Right, we've just signed such and such, he's flying in now."

Tits.

I think it's quite cruel people waking up, looking on the forum index page and seeing Luka Modric signs fo... Before clicking and finding out he's gone to the Spuds.

Could just be all this talk of us being on the verge of a deal just unsettles him and forces the hand of clubs in the top four who were keeping an eye on him. The longer the story on the more chance there is of someone else snapping him up I reckon.

No. Can't see the point in it myself.

"homosexuals are very intelligent people" That's still cracking me up

d'you want more dinner time games on sundays ? I like there being an early kick off to watch in the pub before the match, especially if it's a derby where people are kicking lumps out of each other. Our own games on the other hand...
