The rolling Football thread

[BelfastBloke]

There are quite a lot of football fans on MN, and also loads of football-haters. If we hide here in Dadsnet, none of the detractors will find us. But if they do, they are welcome to come here and moan.

You don?t have to be male to post here, of course. (No-one would say women can?t post in the Dadsnet section, just like no woman would EVER say men aren?t welcome on Mumsnet?)

Footy fans please sign in with

1. A thought on the season so far (Premiership/Championship/Champions? League/FA Cup/League Cup/(el clasico?)/World Cup bids.

Against All Odds (Phil Collins)

Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2)

C'mon BB, get with the beat.

I was wolf whistled at by an old drunk pensioner in a Rangers tracksuit today. Not sure which was more insulting - the whistle or the fact he was a Rangers fan.

That doesn't qualify as a boast-by-stealth does it, KDDDD?

Thats What Friends Are For - Deniece Williams.

Definitely not he was pissed as a fart.

Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow - Fleetwood Mac

There is tension in the house already! I'm babysitting my newborn niece so my sis, her DH can get to the game. Think we will have to sit in a different room from DH!

What happens at half time? Do mamangers tell the players the other games' progress? Does it affect them?

Is relagation more costly to QPR than winning the PL is valuable to Citeh? (clutching at very thin motivational straws there..)

I didn't realise but there will be two Prem trophies today, one at each game. I'm really gutted there is no helicopter as I believed.

Know what you mean about tension, KenDoddsDad. DH and DS have got tickets for the MANU match and DH has had to go to the beach for a brisk walk to dissipate some of it - he was positively buzzing.

Are they up in Sunderland on the beach? It's quite nice today.

Whitburn/Marsden. Yes, it's nice out - but glad of the peace here as long as it lasts!

DH is a Man U fan. He keeps dreaming that my DSis is not going to want to leave the baby so he can have her ticket. Dream on!

yes KDDDD, the there are 2 PL trophies - the real one has a permanent home at Old Trafford, though we loan it out to others from time to time....

But he will be just like DH, who'd never be able to sit amongst opposing fans - he couldn't be trusted to keep his gob shut and not jump to his feet (not unless he was gagged and put in a strait jacket).

Pan

Just read on BBC site a quote from a Citeh fan kicking his heels outside the Etihad: : 'I can't be doing with this sort of stress every 44 years'.

Is today St Totteringham's Day?

Phil Collins is warming up for Utd..

Sorry Pan

am peed off with sky sports, celtic lifted the league trophy today and its hardly been mentioned, we're not all English!!

thanks KDDDD - was hearing utd could have had a hatful at SoL - is that true?

Really wierd thoughts. It's like mum and dad have brought home a screaming little blue noise bucket, and in the future we may have to.........learn to........share.....

just read on twitter : Those City fans who left early will always have the memories of how they beat the traffic.

Ok, the last day of the season ? re-posted from various sites because I?m no comedian and anyway they amuse me - so here goes:-

BREAKING NEWS; - A lottery winner has just bought Rangers.
Stunned friends said they'd hate to have seen what he'd bought if he got four numbers up.

Rangers have been ordered to put anything that's got a value up for sale.
On the bright side, at least no players will be sold.

Congratulations, Man City! You have already got one more Premiership title than Liverpool.

Real irony: City win the league in Fergie time.

Q. United fans, what's the movie tonight?
A. 'Gone In 60 Seconds'.

Sir Alex is furious at the match officials for the injury time awarded to Manchester City.

Those City fans that left early will always have the memories of how they beat the traffic.

Man United have sacked Howard Webb after a poor run of results.

The Rangers administrators have written to Celtic asking if their next game could be a 5-a-side.

Fergie has revealed he?s going to write a book about this current season.
He is yet to think of a title.

A pound coin was thrown onto the pitch at Ibrox.
Police are trying to determine whether it was a missile or a takeover bid.

Bag of Chips - £1.50.
One of the biggest football teams in Scotland - £1.00.

To all you sore Manchester United fans, look on the bright side. Only 225 days till Christmas.

Liverpool are dreading August. It's football again.

Well looks like everything went as predicted in the end:
Man City beating QPR.
Man Utd beating Sunderland.
Liverpool losing to Swansea...

Lukas Podolski says"I'm moving to Arsenal to win trophies".
And they say the Germans have no sense of humour.

Liverpool Football Club: "Above us only sky", and Everton and Chelsea and Newcastle and Spurs and Arsenal and United and City.

I didn?t know Roy Hodgson was into American football, just heard he is the new england coach.

Drogba might be leaving Chelsea at the end of this season.
That's very sad for the many fans who worship the ground he falls on.

Women all around are complaining about the rising levels of sexism in football.
Typical of women - always complaining.

And for Lent, I?m giving up sarcasm - because I care.

They are great DanFm
Pan Mignolet saved a corker from Giggs, a bit of woodwork got in the way twice.
My sister said the Man U fans were getting quite a bit of abuse.
Cannot believe Barton. What will become of him.
Oh well, onto the Euros we go......
