SEMTEX

I think I was there... If Rooney scored his goal of the season OR If Rooney scored twice when we got royally dicked on, I was.

Did Keegan wear a suit? Only in court. Aye but that was the 'People's suit' he was wearing. Well the people certainly paid for it...

I'm not with him, alright.

On that note: The NFL's support for Breast Cancer awareness puts the pathetic effort by the Premier League to shame. For an entire month... http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2009/09000d5d81329bfc_gallery_600.jpg http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2009/09000d5d8133111e_gallery_600.jpg http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2009/09000d5d81328547_gallery_600.jpg http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2009/09000d5d81320c9a_gallery_600.jpg http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2009/09000d5d81328546_gallery_600.jpg http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2009/09000d5d813214c3_gallery_600.jpg http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2009/09000d5d81321338_gallery_600.jpg

Too right. They should be stoned to death for ignoring the centuries old tradition of having poppies on football jerseys. Did anyone explain this poppies on shirts thing and WHY it started when it did? As I said before it can only be less than five years at the most. Does it actually matter when it started? The whole point is that for one minute people can have a minute to remember that thousands of people died to ensure we are free. I don't care whether people want to wear a poppy or not, or want to spend that minute silently thanking those who made the sacrifice or if they spend the minute silently singing the theme tune of the simpson's in their head. What annoys me is that there are some who won't allow that minute of silence to go ahead because they are ignorant idiots. Well yes it does matter, if only for the curiosity value. I mean we've had wars forever, soldiers dying for hundreds and thousands of years, poppies since 1918 but footballers wearing poppies since less than five years ago? It doesn't make sense to me. It's not as if the general public or footballers cares more than they did 30 or 40 years ago, we're just meant to show it more for some reason. I'm sure years ago a minute's silence for Remembrance day was only held if the 11th fell on a Saturday. Are you being serious? How can you not understand why public support for the poppy campaign may have increased in the last, I dunno, eight years or so....!?!? I'd like to understand exactly why the thread poster feels some clubs aren't showing due respect. Who said the clubs aren't? I said some Celtic fans chose to sing republican rebel songs during the minute of silence and that spoiled it for everyone there. Maybe you don't want to show respect for the people who have given their lives so that you can live yours, but to actively disrespect them is just wrong, imo. I don't know why or when the football clubs decided to start to have a minute's silence for remembrance day but in a society so apathetic to most things it is nice to see that some people do want to show respect to the people who died. I say Man Utd/Liverpool aren't, as they've actively refused a request to have a poppy sewn on their shirts. Celtic put a poppy on, even though they've got a wide range of scum fans who'd object to it, so if anything they've done better than most. We've 2 different arguments here.

Only just noticed this gem! Personal opinion = he's a fat cockney rapist & SJP is shit, apart from the singing section. That is all.

I'm so over Reds v Blues.

no

This Northwitch Victoria vs Charlton game is in HD! I'm shocked. ITVHD only tends to show 1 programme a week, what are they playing at!?

Just watched Falkirk 3-3 Celtic. Good shit.

I said that. Did you just watch the football league show? Im not saying he's the best in the league, but I wouldnt say he's definitely, definitely not the best player in the league. The bloke in your avatar is better, to give you one example. In my opinion he is too, but then I see/hear Enrique for a full 90s minutes every week. Johnson is certainly up there from what I've seen, if I saw more of him then I'd be able to say more accurately. He's definitely in the 'too good for this league' catagory that Enrique is. Every time I've seen him he's completely took the piss. You've seen his highlight reels though, I believe an awful lot of his game has been very frustrating to Boro fans.

Are you a premiership football club?

It's called respect. Something you're clearly devoid of. Good night.

it's all about showing respect, if you want, in your own way. Fine for you or me (well, for you), not for spineless f***ing companies like Man Utd and Liverpool. why not for you ?. is there anything saying you have to be form the britain ? it's up to you. the whole idea of paying repect is being chepened by the fact that it is becoming a duty as opposed to a choice. It's not fine for me because my brother's girlfriend's brother is now a triple amputee because he fought for his country, and it f***s me off royally that people can't do something so unbelievably simple without getting ridiculously high and mighty about absolutely inane things like poppy facism. For once, just f***ing do it. ah. i thought you meant "me" as in british "me" as opposed to your irish "you" and that being why you might not. even then shouldn't it be their choice and shouldn't they, if they do it, do it for the right reasons ? as opposed to people just wanting to appear to others that they are bothered whilst not really giving a shit. a) If they don't give a shit, they're twats. b) They have a responsibility to represent their fans on this one, and they're failing.

You didnt watch this weeks motd then? No I was outside your window watching you whilst you watched it. Should have knocked on the window, I'd have made you a cup of tea, you can't come in though. CUP OF BEANS!

Man Utd and Liverpool will be the only 2 Prem teams without a Poppy on their shirt FYI. And all this politics talk is a sack of shit, it's about showing respect for people who have died in the past, and in the last few years, for Britain.

It annoys me that the fans of other teams are under the impression that we think we're the fucking bees knees. We're shit. We know we're shit. You're shitter.

It's just to show any interested companies the potential of advertising on my username.

Seemingly they're both next week! miiint.

What about the Bosnia game? When is that?
