The other games today - 2009/10


Recommended Posts

I know it's a bit rich coming from me, but did anyone else notice how none of the newcastle fans they interviewed before the game for the FLS had a geordie accent.

 

As a fellow non-geordie I noticed this as well, thought it was odd they managed to get three in a row.

 

No co-incidence that Clem is a Smoggie, although the fact that the majority of Newcastle-based supporters will have spent 3 hours on the train getting mortal might have been a factor...

2 lads I went to school with, and Ketsbaia's Shiny Head is (or was, I don't know!) mates with were on MOTD jumping around like lunatics when Anton Ferdinand scored that 'goal'.

 

Yeah I bet they felt silly. They looked like cheesy chip loving hooligans! How jammy though, their first match in years and they get on telly straight away!

That reminds me... Can't believe I haven't told this story on N-O before.

 

Happened after my second trip to SJP (spring of 2008 I think), I had an extra day in London after the match (an unfortunate 3-0 pasting against Liverpool) and decided I'd head over to Upton Park to catch West Ham vs. Spurs, partly because I wanted to see Nobby in action and partly because I had nothing better to do with my time.

 

Since this was a spur of the moment thing, I didn't have a ticket on me which left me circling the ground in search of a tout... Turns out these aren't all that easy to find in England and I was just about to head elsewhere when I found a bloke who offered me a ticket for 2x face value. Helluva lot of cash to drop on watching a match as a neutral... But what the hell, I don't get to go to England that often.

 

So I grab my ticket and run over to the ground, hoping to see Spurs get a good pasting... And that's when I notice that my ticket is in the away section. The god damn first row of the away section.

 

The minute I sit down two rather nice looking (and large) blokes from either side clap me on the back and ask me whereabouts I'm from, and I don't have the heart (or balls) to tell them that I'm a neutral (worse yet, a Newcastle fan.) So I play along and try to stay as quiet as possible... And West Ham score first off a beautiful assist from Solano. It takes everything I've got to feign mild disappointment. When Michael Dawson scores a late equalizer, the blokes on either side of me are all over me jumping up and down and I muster every last molecule of acting skill in my body to appear happy.

 

So that was that, I chalk it off as an unusual experience and head home. A few days later, I'm browsing match reports on the net when I find this.

Yup, the only time I've ever been caught on camera in fifteen years of watching footy... And it had to be while I was sitting with Tottenham away fans in Upton Park.

 

:lol:

The Appy Ammers are not going to be happy with the Fulham team sheet again. I think it is safe to say Ann Summers gear, The Sport & The Sunday Sport & various dildos will not be on sale at Harrods any time soon.

Great story there oldtype  :lol:

 

Reminds me of when I lived in Madrid and went to a pub to watch the Barça - Madrid game, and Barça scored their first and I jumped automatically to celebrate, taking me one second to realize what I was doing and then going "GOOO--oh shit!!!!!"

Taking Torres off for Ngog. Sometimes I think Rafa makes the most ridiculous decisions just to make it look like he has some kind of insight that no one else does. He's a total nacker. That look from Gerrard totally sums it up, what the fuck!?

Ngog misses a sitter.

 

x2

 

 

I'd be livid if I was a Liverpool fan. Torres would have buried both of those.

Or getting the sack wouldn't help the bank balance ;)

Torres has an icepack on his leg. Benítez does some howlers but this was an injury sub.

 

Then why did Torres himself look bemused? Don't a lot of players do that anyway, just to prevent a flare up when warming down?
