I don't see where I came off as arrogant but ok. I also don't understand how accidentally hitting a G instead of a D should matter at all. Hitting the wrong key doesn't make me ignorant. Hitting the wrong key, not seeing that I hit the wrong key until a couple of posts later just makes me blind. I understand your point about local rivalries being important to football and how being there adds something (i agree) but at the same time, supporting a team in the US is just as tough. For instance this weekend I have to wake up at 7:30am on Saturday to watch the Chelsea-Newcastle game here. I have to deal with people calling "soccer" dumb, boring and stupid (before they turn on a hockey game, go figure (well, not this year)). Well, I have to go, Chelsea-Fulham is on at 2:30 and I took off work today to watch it.
Well you didn't know a lot about England then did ya. Guess depends on your definition of 'a lot'. I admit I overreacted a bit, but I did in fact react to his post 'there was nothing wrong, learn English'. Just like you, I hate being told that I'm wrong when I'm not, and am prepared to enter lengthy pointless discussions about Persian Kings and English geography.
Fair enough. Sorry I overreacted, and enjoy the game. Should be easy enough the way Chelsea play at the moment.
Don't worry, they are Skunks (at least Mel B is ) fans - that is a disability and they are treated accordingly.
Sure, I was being serious. You don't know where I could get my stolen car stereo back by any chance do you?
And what do stolen cars have to do with the quality of support and success on the pitch and the fact that hardly any Geordies turned up to watch the Skunks when they were even worse than what they usually are. PS I hear Newcastle is an Eden with no scummy estates or smackheads.
That’s because they are a total fecking irrelevance. Geordies/Makkems same fecking animal – Fat, useless, jobless slobs from the arse end of nowhere. I can see them now on Saturday crying like little babies as they get the coach back to Newcastle, came to London, their team got beat, their mates got beat, they got robbed of the few pennies they had (kept in their socks) by some Chelsea lads, thier “women” are safe because they are so fecking ugly, they got laughed out of the pubs in London because they are wearing flares and bobble hats – bunch of right sad looking gits, on the coach back they are watching vids of “When the Boats Comes In” , who will have the fishy on the little dishy? Back to Newcastle to their pitiful and meaningless existence HAHAHAHAHAHAHA and you know, I actually like Geordies and have a lot of Geordie mates - go figure
What an interesting read Oi - Mel, you work 3rd shift "over in England" ...or do you just like getting up in the middle of the night to post on bigsoccer
Never heard that usage of the term "clip" in my life. Must be an inbred Geordie term. There should be an apostrophe in "thats". Hope that helps. The state of Liverpool? What about the state of Newcastle? You got a motorway up there in your cut-off inbred little corner of England yet? I also read Geordieland has a bit of a problem with smackheads. Newcastle - European City of Culture any time soon? Have the locals learn to speak English yet? That is English English as opposed to an inbred form of it that makes the speakers sound thick as pig**********? What about football - have you learn anything about that yet? Though I gather there is an improvement - Shearer no longer plays in goal, even if the Skunks did have to pay 15 million for someone they used to think was a goalkeeper...
Well, 'Boro ranks about the inbred Geordie Garden of Eden simply because it managed to produce Harry Pearson, who wrote possibly the best book about football in the world, ever. As I have mentioned, as a Boro fan, he notes in 1993/94 that if Newcastle were to become even vaguely successful (i.e. hinting at a trophy), their fans will become unbearable. No, the reports were explicitly about Newcastle's youth being a bunch of smackheads - no jobs, no perspectives and they can't move, 'cos no one can **********ing understand them. **********ing inbred c*nts.
