  1. when i was on holiday last year i saw an irish guy in a man united shirt, a newcastle shirt and a sunderland shirt on 3 different days.

     

    on the  note of supporting man united, i live in the south, and admit that i supported newcastle in the souness era because i liked the fact we had lots of english players and liked the stadium. i know a lot more about football now than then but thats not the point.

     

    down here, the teams with a substantial following are as follows: chelsea (1st), liverpool and man united (equal second) and west ham from the chavs. (3rd). there are arsenal fans who keep very quiet. the local team is gillingham ive never met a gills fan in my life. millwall palace and charlton are the only other teams who could be classified as local. im not going to begrudge anyone supporting someone like fulham barsnely or watford from down here. however most chelsea fans have popped up recently, know next to nothing about the team, attended 1 or 2 games a season under mourinho and have now got bored, watch the game at the pub and wear their shirt a lot.

     

    the reason is what? well its a middle class area and a lot of parents have very little interest in football, and wouldnt take kids to a game. kids influences are the TV and their friends and siblings. therefore when deciding on what team to support, very few are just going to decide on gillingham. most wouldnt have even heard of them! the rest are bandwagon fans. myself, if i want to go see a neutral game ill either go to craven cottage or gillingham.

     

    I think you mean Barnet.  :lol:

  2. Plenty pre-match drink time for the faithfull traveller.

     

    Plenty pre-match drink time for the psychotic Stoke fans as well.

     

    It has potential to be disastrous. Last time Stoke were up here, didn't the 'Gremlins' make a rare attempt to start some trouble?

     

    Anyway though, i'll be going to it but i doubt we'll win. Stoke are a good side at home, and our players will cack themselves at the intimidating atmosphere.

  3. I don't care about the cup this year, much more important to beat West Ham the week after!!!  i'd rest a few players, they will also make loads of changes.  Colo has played virtually every game and i'd rest him along with Shay, Jonas, Owen.

     

    my team would be...

                        HARPER

    EDGAR  TAYLOR    BASSONG    KADAR

     

    LUA LUA  GEREMI  GUTHRIE  N'ZOGBIA

     

                  CARROLL      XISCO

     

    Why would you rest Shay you mong. It's unlikely he'll get injured and saved about 4 definate goals against us in the last match. If there's anyone we need, its him.
