But not Southampton, who've offered fuck all of interest for pretty much the entirety of English footballing history. And yes, the mackems go in there - but this does not mean I want to see them in there. I'm surprised at the number of absolute nothing London clubs (Palace, Fulham, QPR) selected on here - four London clubs is enough, and those three have won 1 League Cup between them in their entire histories. Interestingly, all three clubs also average around 25% of their league history in the top division - three seasons out of four you'd find them floundering in the lower leagues. I'd be picking the smoggies ahead of any of them - they've won the same number of trophies as those three combined (1) and have spent almost as many years in the top division as those three combined(!). You're right actually, I regret Palace now. Swap them with Ipswich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beinsports has pretty much 24 hour coverage of all the major leagues (with recap shows as well). When I’m working late from home it’s usually always in the background.

Doctor Zaius Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 12 hours ago, Interpolic said: Serious answer, I sort of choose my battles putting it on the big telly. I don't want her having to watch football all the time. We'll watch all NUFC games together on big telly but happily she pure loves the toon these days, having not really seen much football before we met. Other than that maybe a game a week on the big telly, depends on the schedule. And I'll watch a few on a laptop when she's watching something else. And it's on constantly whenever she's out Same, when were together and they're on. Will enthusiastically watch Newcastle on TV and quite often suggests going out to watch it, i'm grateful, especially these days. Tried to push my luck and get her watching the darts the other day but she was having none of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Yeah, similar here, and feel very fortunate tbh. She sees the joy it brings me after two years of abject misery and actively encourages me to stick it on, and she can name most of the players now; enjoys reading their Wikis and what-have-you when the game's on. I didn't mention a particular game being on tele a couple weeks back (think it was Forest) cos we were gonna go out for tea or something; she noticed herself and insisted we change plans. Not sure what I've done to deserve her really, she's a bit of a belter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said man u, especially during the fergie years, but they're pretty harmless now. Since being reminded that chelsea exist then yeah, I'm all for them as my choice. Heard them being described as "just milwall, but they can afford their own kits". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Seen a few people and places refer to the Serbian club as 'Crvena zvezda' rather than calling them Red Star Belgrade recently. Is there a particular reason for the change to calling them by their Serbian name? and why do you never see the Z capitalised? On a completely unrelated note: I once saw them lift the Serbian league title, their fans spend large parts the match singing racist slurs about Kosovo or complaining about UEFA; just a standard day in the balkans.

Stal Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Right, my mind has gone blank and I can't think of this player's name; played for us, signed from either Leicester or Chelsea I think. Brazilian whose name was like a first name but spelt incorrectly. I'd google it but I don't know what to google. Any ideas on who I'm trying to remember or am I just imagining him?
