I know but they never used to have it.

I suppose but it has become a bit tredny to put a couple of stars on your kit to remind other teams of past achievments.

 

I suppose I dont mind it, I wish we had wont two european cups.

Need one for the Teresa Herrera triumph.

I always thought it was specifically for the European Cup, but:

Minutes applause.

 

Much prefer a minutes silence, gives me goosebumps

[flyingscotsman]

When a cross or a corner is coming over and you hear either the keeper, defender or a fan yelling "away!" What else are you going to do? Catch the ball between your legs and do a few backflips?

[Keefaz]

Prolly already been mentioned, but other club's supporters singing variations of the Blaydon Races.

the keeper could shout "keepers". isn't the away shout normally after it's been initially cleared to push out and a) give the keepr a clear sight of any incoming shot and not fall for any 6yd deflection b) hopefully catch someone offside.

Agreed. There is something strange about the atmosphere in a minutes silence within a packed stadium. So eery.

And then that roar when the silence ends, incredible.

That was my dad's pet hate when Given was our keeper. You could guarantee every single corner he'd shout 'head away' no matter what.

[Jill]

Without fail every corner we defend the woman who sits next to me says "keep it out!" I know what she's getting at but I think the players have probably grasped that that's the idea.

Ex-pros defending blatant cheating.

Bale, I take it?

[Dave]

And Suarez.

[Dr Venkman]

Goalkeepers shouting 'away' when defending every single set piece ever.

[cp40]

Suarez.

[Cajun]

Absolutely despise Suarez but what I hate more is the Liverpool fans who don't see how much of a wanker he is. I completely understand the 'He's a twat but he is our twat' mentality because I have had it with a few of ours over the years (Bellamy, Barton..) but they genuinely seem to believe he is the victim (shock!) and he isn't a tosser it's just the media fooling us.

[Pilko]

Corners that get taken with the ball blatantly outside the white line.

[Neil]

It's that whole bollocks about it only having to "overhang" the line. So the "bottom" of the ball can technically be outside.

 

Pile of wank either way.

Any talk about the numbers before the Cup draw. I only want to find out the name when the guy actually says it. I've deliberately avoided lists up till now, even though I can't actually watch it, out of habit.

"Numbers to watch out for"

 

I think I can wait 2 seconds for them to say who it is...

Abso-fucking-lutely. I distinctly remember "numbers to watch out for" mentioned in all kinds of places as well, and even days before the draw. Just give me two decrepit FA nobs, a bag, and some clacky balls - and that old wooden tray they used to put them in  .

When Sky put commentary to different clips. League Cup advert has audio from Cisse's goal against Chelsea.

What's even more amazing about the 'media against Suarez' thing is that they're not even against him. If anything, they try to paint him as nothing more than a cheeky cartoon villain at every opportunity.
