  1. US footballer Robbie Rogers comes out as gay and quits football in the same blog post... http://www.therobbierogers.com/
  2. We played OK but nowt special, a more balanced side would have won that game without needing to blame bad officiating. Still think we can get a goal over there based on tonight like, but can see it being a frustrating game because they keep the ball well.
  3. Quite nervous now, will be fucking gutted if we lose comfortably and I've got to go away next week to a dead rubber.
  4. Fergie: 'Messi could never score a goal Cristiano scored yesterday' Repressed memories old man? http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01411/lionel-messi_1411502c.jpg
  5. The posts are there, but the nets almost never are. There might be several reasons: People steal them; there are less public pitches now than there used to be; there is simply less space in the UK than in the US; there are more teams in the UK, and so more uses of pitches, therefore more damage to nets, therefore more expensive to replace; it's an easy cut for UK councils to make; we are still subject to post-war rationing of football nets; we no longer have a fossil fuel industry to make the plastics for the twine. Take your pick. I have actually commented on this before driving round my town, as in the UK, Sunday teams would have to bring their own nets for every home game. Here, they seem to be in place. Are they simply less used in the US? Are they only found in more community-minded towns? Are Americans simply more community-minded? Does God protect the nets in the US? Who actually pays for them and puts them up here? I feel that I have over-thought this. Never any nets on basketball courts over here either and neebody plays that.
  6. But they can't afford to go away and play on the counter. They need to take the game to Man U and score.
  7. Not looking forward to next weeks trip as much as I was now... Same
  8. Amazing how the post-match coverage was all about De Gea 'coming of age' and 'overcoming all his critics'. Yeah, the critics being mostly you lot. Everthing has to be hyped up into a narrative. They couldn't just end the coverage and say good game, it was the DAVID DE GEA GAME. They knocked him down so they could build him back up again and make a story out of nothing. It wasn't even that great of a performance, he's had better in recent weeks for them.
  9. Compared to Redknapp who can barely speak, read or write English
  10. BBC saying 3. Out for both potential quarter finals then.
  11. How many games suspended is a straight red in the CL?
